DEATH'S SENSATIONS.

THREE   TIMES   IN   ONE   YEAR.   "
Personal Experiences -with. Death, Go to
Show That the Moment of Final Dissolution Is Absolutely Painless and "Without Fear of Future life.
t
Although neither a physician nor a
clergyman I -wish to corroborate the
views of the physicians contradicting
Kev. Dr. Epworth under the heading,
"What Is Death?" in your Sunday issue.
As a Federal soldier, May 31, 1862,1
was one of those who fought against
the- surprise of General, Johnston, at
the time commander of the Confederate army, at Fair Oaks. The surprise -was made at noontime, while
our hoys were eating lunch. I remember one soldier being struck in a vital
part and killed while leaning upright
against a tree in the act of carrying a
liapjackto his mouth, remaining after
ieath in precisely the same position.
When I saw him standing there I mistook him for a live man, especially as
he seemed to me intent only on eating
his flapjack, but the illusion was dispelled when touching him, because as
an officer I wanted him to join his comrades.
My own personal experience in the
matter confirms the physicians' also.
The 30th of April, 1886, a fire was raging in my factory in San Francisco. By
some means I was about 150 feet from
the main entrance in the burning building when, to my dismay, I beheld the
five stor}' wall topple over me through a
skylight. Passively I lowered my head,
thinking only of my coming death and
wishing it would be swift. In less than
a second thousands of bricks fell on me, •
sounding like a big drumstick beating
on a big bass drum. I remember a
crash, then nothing, but when I came to
my senses I was wedged in between
heavy timbers, the upper part of my
body only being freg.
About a dozen steps back of me was a
stranger to me who had not received a
scratch, but ascertaining that my leg
was broken, and also my utter inability
to save myself, he crawled over to me
and attempted to pull me out of my terrible situation. But all his efforts only
increased my suffering, and as 1 saw the
flames come up I entreated him to leave
me to my fate and try to save himself.
Finally he crawled away, promising,
however, to return with *help and axes.
1 must have been bewildered, for no act
of my past life came to my memory, but
suddenly thinking of my small, inother-
less children*! shouted for help, whis-
tling'at intervals through' my, fingers,
ON   A   TANDEM.
The hillside blazed in red and gold;
The fields had horned to umber:
The air "was crisp, nor yet too cold.
As down a winding way I bowled
With Jennie on a Humber.
Sweet Jennie, with her chestnut hair.
Her rognisli eyes and laughter;
How proud was I that she was fair;
How glad was I to see her th§re.
And know that none came after!
Oh, dream of happy days gone by!
We spoke of autumn sadly;
And when I Eeemed to hear her sigh
I lisped her name, I know not why—
.  Somehow she pedaled badly.
Ilispe&her name, and growing bold—
No wonder she grew sober,
Or that the wheels so slowly rolled ;
Along the sunlit, leaf strewn mold
This rare day in October. ■      j
I lisped her name and bending low-
While pedals turned at random-
Till cheek touched cheek—I—butyou know—
Of course 'twas wrong to treat her so,
Sweet Jennie on a tandem.

From an Old Book.
In one of the older manuals of the
common council of New York there appears an interesting directory of this
city for the year 1665. Then there
were exactly twenty streets and a population of 251. Broadway at that time
was De Heere straat (the principal
street). The Battery was Aende Strandt
van de N. Beveif. Wall street was De
Waal, Pearl street was-De Perel straat,
Whitehall street was De Winckel straat,
William street was In de Smits valley
(In the smith's valley), and Broadway
above Wall street was Buyten de Lant
Poort (outside the land gate). All of
the residents were of Dutch extraction,
with the exception of one whose name
appears in the list as Jacob, the Frenchman.
There were Roosevelts, Beekmans, De
Peysters. De Puys, Van Cortlandts and
-Verplancks in those days. Clams, oysters and fish formed the principal food
of the settlers at that period. Occasionally in the spring New York was visited
by "such amazing flights of wild pigeons
that the sun was hid by their flocks from
shining on the earth for a considerable
time; then it was that the natives laid
in a great store of them against a day of
need."—New York Times.

water ppfLred. oh me. '1 then realized]
my. danger, yet I, who had never gone,
into, a battle, without a. ,pang, felt ipna
whatever while in that deathtrap. The
water and smoke combined must have
asphyxiated me, for when my stranger-
returned leading a brave party of fire
men and policemen I laid as one dead.
BeUeving me dead, and being in a very
daiigerous.positio'n.. they .ont_away part
of the" timbers and "rudely but" safely^
passed me over the debris in the street."
A deafening shout from an immense
throng which had witnessed the gallant
rescue, streams of cold.water and fresh
air revived me, and I begged of them to
be careful with my liinbs, which were
dangling from my body.
After many weeks of suffering the
physicians decided to break my leg
again, but being unable to do it well
while I had my senses they decided to
chloroform me. Being subject to heart
disease I objected, but the matter being
urgent I finally consented to take the
anaesthetic. Fully convinced, however,
that 1 should die under itsinfmence, but
knowing that either way I would have
to die, I agreed to take the only chance
of life I had and laid myself resignedly
on my back: yet, although convinced
that my last hour had come, 1 had not
the slightest recollection of my former-
deeds. As 1 heard the physicians' whispers gradually lost in the distance I was
only wondering what would, come next.
I recovered, however; but, > breaking
my leg a third time on account of some
adhesions" in my knee, it was decided
that I should undergo another operation,
which necessitated the use of anaesthetics again. This time the physicians
thought I was a goner sure, for it took
them nearly two hours to revive me;
.yet, although certain of my last hour, I
could not recall' my past life, and in
neither case did I fear death Vh©0-1 had
squarely to face jt.
In, each, ^nsta«oe the. passing away was.
nai^'e^s, while* in the fire suffocation
game, almost unconsciously,, while al-
inpsji the same seusation came in the
o$ieij cases. In the case of the soldier
at Fair Oaks (Seven Pines) a certain time
must have elapsed between his decease
and my notice of him, yet heaven or
hade3'did not seem to bother him; his
flapjack seemed to be what he wanted—
his eyes were on it and his mouth was
open ready to receive it. In my own
case 1 could claim to have died three
times within a year, yet I do not think I
had any other but a sensation of rest.
Dr. Epworth, in his assertion also that

;i deceased person's face.
j overspreads a deceased person's

XHe Love of Domestic Aiiiuials.
The man who has not music in his
soul is justly exposed to the disparagement of the poet, but what shall be said,
of him who cannot find one dumb animal at least on which to bestow care
and Irindness?. Sailors and soldiers have
their pets; the. feathered, the feline, and
the canine, creation, are. miiyersal fayoj-:
ites.'
' Carriers andj draymen, a1'* rarely in-,

while his master, is at work in, %he cut-,
ting or on the embankment, sits on, hjs
peajacket and, guards the- bundle con.-,
laining that midday meal of which,
when the toiler returns, the good and
faithful servant will have his share. It
would be a very dreary and perhaps a
wickeder world than it is if we had
not animal pets, domestic as well as
regimental.—London Telegraph.
True Marriage.
"* AJiappy-NTgaJeck-is- a Io%faSisg4n.
love. I know young persons think love
belongs only to the brown hair and
plunrp, round, crimson cheek. So it does
for its beginning, just as Mount Washington begins at Boston bay. But the
golden marriage is a part of love which
the bridal day knows nothing of. Youth
is the tassel and silken flower of love;
age is the full corn, ripe and solid in the
ear. Beautiful is the morning of love,
with its prophetic crimson, violet, saffron, purple and gold, with its liopes of
days that are to come. Beaatiful also
is the evening of love, with Its glad remembrance and its rainbowside turned
toward heaven as well as earth.—Theodore Parker,
In tlie Czar's Country.
On the Way back from Izora the Czar
wanted a cup of tea, but owing to a sudden jerk of the railway carriage the tea
was upset. The next morning (as goes
the story) the whole line between St.
Petersburg and Izora was carefully
searched by-numbers of men ordered -to
find out what had jerked the czar's teacup! "Every time the czar goes up and
down to Peterhof the steamers have to
be decorated, traffic is suspended on the
river, and occasionally even the loading
of steamers is stopped-.-«L,Qn,&c»i Ne"WSt

Walter Besan^. in his very entertaining and valuable book on-^London,"
notes an important change in the early
part of this century in the feelings of
|he English gentry about trade. Mercantile life ceased to attract the younger
sons of the gentry, who - found employment in the army«oi$ navy, and the city
was thus severed from the counties.
