BY EMERSON BESNETT. “‘We Doctors sometimes meet with strange adventures,’’ once said to me a distinguished physician, with whom I was on terms of inti- macy. = i have often thought,”’ I replied, ‘that the secret history of some of your profession, if written out in detail, would make a work of thrilling interest.”” “Ido not know that I exactly agree with you in regard to detail,”’ rejoined my friend, “* for we medical men, like every one else. meet with a great deal that is common-place, and therefore not worthy of being recorded; but grant us the privilege of you novelists, to select our characters and scenes, and work them into a kind of plot, with a dexouement, and, I doubt not, many of us could give you a ro- mance in real life, comprising only what we have seen, which would equal, if not surpass, anything you ever met in the way of fiction. Tiye-the-bye, I believe I never told you of the most strange and romantic adventure of my life ?”” ~ You never told me of any of your adven- tures, Doctor,” I replied; “but if you have a story to tell you will find me an eager listener.” “Very weil, then, as I have a few minutes to spare, I will tell you one more wildly ro- mantic, more incredibly remarkable, if I may #0 speak, than you probably ever found in a work of fiction. “I am all attention.’ “Twenty-five years ago,’ pursued the Doc- tor, * T entered the medical college at F——, asa student. [was then quite young, inex- perienced, and inclined to be timid and senti- mental ; and well do I remember the horror I experienced, when one of the senior students, under pretence of showing mo the beauties of the institution, suddenly thrust me into the dissecting room, among several dead bodies, and closed the door upon m*; nor do I forget how my screcches of terror, and prayers of re- lease from that awtul place, mado me the laugh- ~~ of wy older companions. idicule isa hard thing to bear; the cow- ard becomes brave to escape it, and the brave man fears it mere than he would a belching cannon. I sufferea from it till I could bear it no more ; and wrought up toa pitch of despera- tion, | demanded to know what I might oS to redeem my character, and gain an footing among my fellow students. “I will tell you,”’ said one, his eyes spark- ling with mischief; “ if you will go at the mid- night hour, and dig up a subject, and take it to your room, and remain alone with it till morning, we will let you off, and never say an other word about your womanly fright.”’ I shuddered. it was a feariul alternative; but it seemed less terrible to suffer all the hor- rors that might be concentrated into a single night than to bear, day after day, the jeors of my companions. _“* Where shall I go? and when?” was my timid inquiry; and the very thought of such an adventare made my blood run cold. * To the Eastern Cemetery, at twelve o'clock to-night,”’ replied my tormenter, fixing his keen black eyes upon me, and allowing his thin lips tocurl with a smile of contempt. “ But what is the use of asking such a coward as you to — such a manly feat?” he added deri- ingly. as words stung me fo the quick; and with out further reflection, and scarcely aware of what I was saying, I rejoined boldly : ‘fam no coward, sir, as [ will prove to you by performing what you call a manly feat ” You will go?” he asked quiekly. “Twill.” “Bravely said, my lad!*’ he rejoined, in a tone of approval, and exchanging his expres- sion of contempt for one of surprise and admi- ration. ‘“ Do this Morris, and the first man that insults you afterward makes an cnemy of me?"’ Again I felt a cold shudder pass through my frame, at the thought of what was before me; bat [ had accepted his challe: in the pre.- ence of many witnesses—for this conversation occurred as we were leaving the hall, after list- ening to an evening lecture—and [ was re- solved to make my word good, should it even cost my life: in tact, I knew I could not do otherwise now, without the risk of being driven in disgrace from the college. { should here observe, that in those days there were few professional resurrectionists : and as it was absolutely necessary to have sub- jects for dissection, the unpleasant business of procuring them devolved upon the students, who, in consequence, watched every funeral eagerly, and calculated the chances of cheat- ing the sexton of his charge and the grave of its victim. There hai been a funeral, that day, of a poor orphan girl, who had been followed to the grave by very few friends; and this was con- sidered a favorable chance for the party whose turn it was to procure the next subject, as the graves of the poor and friendless were never watched with the same keen vigilance as those of the rich and in@uential. Still, it was no trifling risk to attempt to exhume the bodies of the poorest and humblest—for not unfre- quently persons were found on the watch even, over these, and only the year before, one stu- dent, while at his midnight work, Lad been mortally wounded by a rifle ball; and another, a month or two subsequently, had been ren- dered a cripple for life by the same means All this was explained to me by a party of six or eight, who accompanied me to my rooms which was ix a building delonging to the college; and rented by apartments to such of the student, as prefered bachelor’s hal! to regular boarding, and they took care to add several terrifying stories of ghosts and hobgoblins, by way of ealming my excited nerves; but as I have be- fore observed old women stand around a weak, feverish patsent, and croak out their experi- ence in seeing awful sufferings and fatal termi- nations of just such maladies as the one with which their helpless victiia was then afflieted. “ Is itexpeoted that I should go alone?”’ Lin quired, in a tone that trembled in spite of me. while my knees almost knocked together, and I felt ns it my very lips were white. “ Well, no,”’ replied Benson. my most dread- ed tormentor; “it would be hardly fair to send you alone, for one individual could not succeed in getting the body from the grave quick enough; aud you, a mere youth, without expe- rience, would be sure to fail altogether. No, we will go with you, some three or four of us, and nye bly to dig up the corpse; but then you must take it on your back, bring it up to your room here, and spend the night alone with it!” It was some reliof to me to find I was to have company during the first part of my awful undertak:ng; but s:ill i felt far from agreeable 1 assure you; and chancing to look into a mir- ror, as t spat teen near for setting out, I fairly started at olding the ghastly object I saw reflected therein.”’ nile = “« Come, boys,'’ said Benson, who was always, by general consent, the leader of whatever frolic, expeditivn, or undertaking he was to have a hand in—* Come boys, 1t 1s time to be onthe move. A glorious night for us!’ he added, throwing up the window and letting in a fierce guat of wind and rain; “the devil himself would hardly venture out in such a rlorm “He lit a dark lantern, then threw on his jong, heavy cloak, took up a spade, and led the way dowa stairs ; and the rest of us, three be- sides my timid self, threw on our cloaks also, took each a spade, and followed him.”’ We took a roundabout course, to avoid seen by any citizen that might chance to sUrring, and ip something less than half an hour we reached the cemetery, scaled the wall without difficulty, and stealthily searched for the grave, till uod it, in the pitehy dark- ness—-the wind and rain sweeping past us in disms! howls and moans, that to me, trembling with terror, seemed to be the unearthly wail- ings of the epirits of the damned ~ Here we * whispered Benson to me, as we at length stopped at a mound of fresh earth, over which ove of the party had stumbled. “Come, feel round, Morris, and strike in your spade, and let us see if you will make a good onorable bei: be haters ORAS tea Ree oe f VOL. XI. hand at exhuming a dead body, as you-will some day at killing a living one with physio.” I did as directed, trembling in every limb; but the first spadeful I threw up I started back with a yell of horror, that. on any other but a howling, stormy night, would have betrayed us. It appeared to meas if I had thrust my spade into a buried Iake of fire—for the first dirt was all aglow, like living coals; and as I had fancied the moaning of the storm the wail- ings of tormented spirit, I now fancied I had uncovered a small portion of the Bottomless Pit itself. “Fool !"? hissed Benson, jing my arm Paced pete on my spade for support, my very teeth chatter- with the gripe of a vice, as ing with terror; ‘‘another yell like that, and Til make a subject of you! Are you not ashamed of yourself, to be scared out of your wits, if you ever had any, by a litte phosphor- escentearth? Don’t you know that it is often found in grave yards?” His explanation re-assured me, though I was too weak, from my late fright, to be of any assistance to the party, who all fell to witha will, secretly laughing at me, and soon reached the coffin. Splitting the lid with a hatchet, which had been brought fer the purpose, they quickly lifted out the corpse; and then Ben- son and another of the party taking hold of it, one at the head and another at the fect, they hurried it away, bidding me follow, and leaving the others to fill up the grave, that it might not be suspected that the body had been ex humed. Having got the corpse safely ovor the walls of the eemetery, Benson now called-on me to perform my part of the horriblo business. ** Bere, you quaking simpleton,”’ he said, ‘I want you to take this on your back, and make the best of your way to your room, and re- main alone with it all night. If you do this bravely, we will claim you as one of us to- morrow ; and the first one that darcs to say a word against your courage after that, shall find afoeinme. But hark you! if you make any blunder on the way, and lose our prize, it will be better for you to quit this piace before I set eyes on you again! Do you understand me « Y-ye-ye-yes'’’ I stammered with chatter- ing teeth. * Are you ready ?”* “ Y - ye-ye-yes,”’ I gasped *: Well, come bere, where are you?” All this time it was so dark that I could net see anything but a faint line of white, which I knew to be the shroud of the corpse: but I felt carefully round till 1 got hold of Benson, who told me to take off my cloak; and then rearing the cold body up against my back, he began fixing its cold arms about my neck—bidding me ake hold of them, and draw them well over, and keep them concealed, and be sure and not let go of them, on any consid- eration whatevor, as I valued my life. Ah, the torturing horror I experienced, as I mechanically followed his directions! Tongue could not describe it ! At_ length. having adjusted the corpse so that I might bear it off with comparative ease, he threw my long, black cloak over it and over my arms, and fastened it witha cord about my neck, and then inquired : Now, Morris, do you think you can find the way to your room ?”” *I-I do-do-don’t know,”’ I ered. feeling as if L would sink to the earth at the first step. “Well, = cannot lose your way if you straight ahead,” he replied. “Keep in the middle of the road, and it will take you to Col- lege Green, and then you are all right. Come, push on, before your burden grows too heavy ; the distance is only a good half mile!” I set forward with trembling nerves, ex- ecting to ink to the ground at every step; ut gradually my terror, instead of woaken- ing, gave me strength ; and I was soon on tho run—splashing through mud and water—with the storm howling about me to fury, and the cold corpse, as I tancied, clinging to me like a hideous vampire. How I reached my room, I do not know— bat probably by a sort of instinct, for I only remember of my brain being in a wild feverish whirl, with ghostly panes all ubout me, as one sometimes sees them in a dyspeptic dream. Bat reach my room I did, with my dead bur- den on my back; and I was afterwards told that [ made wonderful time; for Benson and his fellow students, fearing the loss of their subject—which on account of the difficulty of getting bodies was very valuable—followed close behind me, and were obliged to run at the top of their speed to keep me within hailing distance. The first [remember distinctly, after getting to my room, was the finding myself awake in bed, with a dim consciousness of something horrible baving happened—though what, for some minutes, { could not for the life of me recollect. Gradually, however, the truth came upon me; and then I felt a cold perspiration start from every pore, at the thought that = haps I was occupying a room alone with a corpse. ‘The room was not dark; thero were a few embers in the grate which threw out a rud- dy light; and fearfully raising my head, I glanced quiekly and timidly around: And there—there on the floor, against the right hand wall, but a few feet from me—there, sure enough lay the cold etill corpse, robed in its white shroud, with « gleam of firelight rest- ing upon its ghastly face, which to my excited fancy seemed to move. Didit move? I was gazing upon it, thrilled and fascinated with an undeseribable terror, when, as sure as I see you now. I saw the lids of its eyes unclose, and saw its breast heave and heard a low stifled moan. “Great God !"’ I shrieked, and fell back in a s Yoon How long I Iny unconeeions I do not know, but when [came to myself again, it isa mar- vel tome that, in my excited state [did not lose my senses altogether, and become the ten- ant of a mad house, tor there—right before me —standing up in its white shroud, with its eyes wide open and staring upon me, and its features thin, hollow, and death-hued—was the corpse 1 had brought from the cemetery. “In God's name, avaunt !*’ I gasped. back to your grave, and rest in peace! never disturb you again. ” The large, hollow eyes looked more wildly upon me—the head moved—the lips parted— and a voice in a somewhat sepulabeal tone, said: “Where am I? Where am I? Who are you—which world am I in? Am I living or dead?” “You were dead,’’ I gasped, sitting up in bed and feeling as if my brain would burst with a pressure of unspeakable horror; ‘you were dead and buried, and I was one of ‘the guilty wretches who this night disturbed you in your peaceful rest. But go back, poor ghost, in Heaven’s name! and no mortal power shall induce me to come nigh you again!” ‘Oh! I feel faint,’’ said the corpse, grad- ually sinking down upon the floor with a groan. “ Where am [?—Oh! where am I ’” “Great God!’’ I shouted, as the startling truth suddenly flashed upon me; ‘ perhaps this poor girl was buried alive, and is now liy- ing! i bounded from the bed and grasped a hand of the prostrate body. It was not warm—but it was notecold. I put my trembling fingers upon the pulse Did it beat? or was it the pulse in my fingers? I thrust my hand upon the heart. It was warm—thore was life thero. The breast heaved ; she breathed ; but the eyes were now closed, and the features had the look of death. Still it was a living body—or else I myself was insane. L sprung to the door, tore it open, and shout- ed for help. “Quick! quick!’’ cried I; “the dead is alive !—the dead is alive !’’ Several of the students, sleeping in adjoin- ing rooms, came hurrying to mine, thi I had gone mad with terror, as some of them had heard my voice before, and all knew to whata fearful ordeal [ had been subjected. * Poor fellow!’ exclaimed one, in a tone of sympathy ; “I predicted this.” “Go I will Eben Ht “It is too bad,’’ said another; ‘it was too much for his nervous system '”” “T am not mad,” returned I, comprehend- ing their suspicions; “ bat the corpse is alive! hasten and see!’’ % They harried into the room, one after aw- other ; and the foremost stooping down to what he supposed was a corpse, put his hand upon it and exclaimed : { “Quick! a light and some brandy!

But tell me, did the girl finally recover?’ ‘“ She did; and turned out to be a most bean- tiful creature, and only sweet seventeen. * ‘‘ And I suppose she blessed the resurrection« ats at the rest of her life!*’ I rejoined, with a jaugh. ‘She certainly held one of them in kind re: membrance,”’ returned the Doctor with a sigh. ‘“* What became of her, Doctor?”’ Z “What should have become of her, accordi: to the well known rules of pootic justice of aft you novel writers ?’’ returned my friend, with 4 peculiar smile. ' “Why,” said I, laughing, ‘“‘she should have turned out an heiress, and married you.”” “* And that is exactly what she did!” rejoined the Doctor. ‘‘Good heavens! ‘You are jesting |’ ‘No, my friend, no,’* replied the Doctor, in a faltering voice: “that night of horror only Preceded the dawn of my fapploas: for that girl—sweet lovely Helen Leroy—in time be- came my wife, and the mother of my two boys.
