No maddening thirst for blood had they,
No batik-joy was itielrs who sot'
Arainst the i'Jifeft,bayonet, « ..
Thoir homespun breasts in that old day.
Their feot had trodden peaceful ways,
ThcyMoved tint strife, they dreaded pain ;
They saw not what to us is plain,
That God would make man's , wrath his
prate®.
No seers Were they, hut simple men ;
Its vast results the future hid;
Tho meaning of the work they did
Was strange and dark and doubtful then.
Swift as tho summons crime they left
The plough, mid-furrow, standing still,
i Tho hiilf-grouiul corn grist in tho mill,
Tho spade iu earth, tho axe -in cleft.
They went where duty seemed to c ill;
They scarcely asked the reason why ;
They only knew they could but die,
And death was not the worst af all.
Of Sf'ai? for. man the sacrifice,
J. Unstained by blood, savethcirsj they gave.
The flowers that blossomed fr6n? their grave
Have sown themselves beneath all skies.

Their death-shot shook the feudal tower,
And shattered slavery's chain as well j
On the sky's dome, as on y bull.
Itj echo struck tho world's great hour.
That fateful echo is not dumb ;
The nations, listening to its sound,
Wait, from a .century'b Milage ground;
' The holier triumphs yet to come.—
The bridal tim'o c'f Law and Love,
The gladness of the world's release,
When, war-sicfe, at the foet Of Peace
The hawks shall ucstlc with the dove.
The golden age of brotherhood,
Unknown to other rivalries
Than of the mild humanities,
And gracious Interchange of good,
When closer strand shall lean to strand,
Till meet, beneath saluting flags,
The cajrle of her mountain crags,
t Tho lion of our Motherland.
From the May No. of ' Our Living ai d Our

BvaitvD AI.IVK.
BY TIIEO. F. KLUTZ, OF SALISBURY,
To all appearance I was dead.
So complete was the semblance, that
it occurred to none of my friends to
doubt its reality. Unable to move a
muscle, lying Cold, rigid and pulseless-
I heard the lamentaticlis of loved ones
a'lound me, and felt to the heart their
Unavailing grief. My body was prop
erly prepared for binial, kind friends
kept silent vigil through tho lone
watches of the silent night, and oil the
morrow arrangements were inadejfor
my interment. The man ol God, and
tho sombre undertaker came, the hour
for the funeral service was appointed,
aud gently I was placed in the cofirn.
„ Imagine the horvor, the awfulness of
my situation! My sense of hearing
was prefer-naturally acute, and, even
with my eyes tightly closed by the sil
ver coins placed up>>n them, I could
plainly see all that was going on about
me.
I was fill I v alive to the imminent
danger, aye, to the absolute certainty,
of being buried alive, fcr. notwithstand
ing tin* most frantic exercises of will,
I couhi not so much as move an eyelid,
O! the horror of that time! My soul
sickened within me, and I had well
nigfi' succumbed to my dread doom, —
when lo! The heavens opened be
lore my inner vision, and plainly I saw
assembled, the august court of the
higher spheres. Glittering with a daz
zling liglit of glory appeared cherubim
and seraphim as jurors, shining hosts
gathered in bright array as auditors,
"and most terrible to behold was the
great Judge of all who sat silent, yst
majestic, upon Ilis resplendent throne.
Such thing* are not lawful to be seen
lof men, and with tear and awe, I look-
r ed and listened-
To my amazement, I found that I j
was the subjest of interest, and that it !
was my fate, which this mighty tribtr- j
nai was coiiVofced to determine. Clad j
in light appeared a mighty personage,;
who plead my cau'e with persuasi\c,
eloquence, and at length lie prevailed, j
I w,mUo have a chance, but a slender
oui. for life. The judgement of the
conrt was pronounced in words which
rang out through space, echoing and
reverberating throughout the vaulted
domes of heaven, and sounding louder
to my strained ear than tha-thiuider's :
loudest tones.—"Let the great clock of
Time be suspended in the heavens, and
let the stars quit their places one by
one, and if this earth-worm can, by
sound, sign or token, make known to
those about him that he lives before th«»
(XRAJIAM, N. C., TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1875,
clock'strikes twelve, and before the last
s:av disappears in blackness) then shall
he live and his facilities be restored to
him; if not, then shall he die indeed and
Irulv." i
Slowly and with tone of doom and
gloom, the ponderous clock began stri
ing. With fearful rapidity the stars
shot from their places and went out in
night. With a tumult of horrible fear
and emotion I watclied and listen,e^.
Meanwhile, friends came, and the
rustling of dress, as friend after friend
stepped up to look for the last time
upon my rigid features. The lid was
screwed down* and I felt myself placed
in the dismal hearse* conveyed to the
church) carried i'i and deposited in
front'of the church pulpit. There I had—
what probably never happened to any
other man, —the exquisite torture of
listening to my own funeral sorirfon!
Its eloquence and pathos, as its exag
gerated recital of m'y new virtues, had
little of interest to me in my fearful
extremity. Fools! dolts!! idiots!!!
don't you know that Von are burying
me alive? was what 1 wis thinking,
and vainly exerting myself to cry out;
but even in my dire agony a ridiculous
fancy suggested itself to my mind, and
I could not help thinking what r a fright
it would give them all, if I should kick
the coffin lid off. At length the scrvL
ces wjre conclude.l, and oiice more
p need in the hearse, 1 was conveyed to
the . cometerv. i ;
When the coffin was set (To ri
on the brink «f the grave the
great clock was nearly done striking,
the stars were almost all gone; a few
more thunder tones, a few more dark
places where the stars had been, and
all would be over with me.
A brief address, a prayer, the burial
service read,' and I was lowered into
the grave* I felt the tramping ot the
sexton as he placed the boards above
me," boards which were shutting me
out forever ,frot>» light and life, and
then I heard the solemn words, "we
commit his body to the ground, enrth
to earth, dust to dust, ashes to ashes."
As the clods commenced falling, I
heard an awful ,-ound—it was this last
stroke of the clock! I saw a vivid
flash—it was tho last star disappearing
—and then all was dark, and I felt that
I was indeed dead F
O*,' and death- lamp of
the grave! I no longer wonder tlmt
man shrinks with horror from death,
for the realization is a hundred fold
more dreadful than o«r iustict paints
it.
No sooner did I realize that life was
ind ed gone, that I felt my soul leave
tho body, lighter than a breath of air,
begin to ascend. Upward, upward,
and still upward. I felt myself im
pelled through space, past the clouds,
past the visible heavens, upward still
with a speed swifter than the light,
ning's flash—when suddenly I teemed
to meet with some impassible obstacle.
A colossal figure of threatening mien,
motioned me back with imperious ges
ture, and downward I felt myselt go
ing, down, down, downward still, until
I found my progress again impeded,
and with a start 1 fcli headlong, I knew
nOt where. ,
1 felt a rough hand seize me, heard a
loud voice in my ear, and sprang up
and away with convulsive energy, and
found myselt—in tho dentist's chair I
(I ljad taken chloroform by inhala
tion, for the extraction of a pninful
tooth, and during the few moments I
was under its influence had passed
through nil this horridly vivid experi
ence. It was on Sunday morning and'
the church bells were ringing, which
accounts for my fancy ot the great
| clock's striking.) t

were directed to bo burned. The Sec

A Committee of five was appointed
to solicit contributions, upon uch terms
as it may deem advisable, for the use
of the University and u.»in such
tions and lin Rations as may be agreed
upon. Special Committees were appoint

The Trustees seem to nave gone about
their work in earnest, and llni seat of
learning, famous tor the great number
of great and good men it has given to
the State and to the Country, is to be
resuscitated from the fallen and ruined
condition, to which republican control
had dragged it. The democratic party
iu coming into power, ha«i everywhere,
where radical rule has had sway, a her
culean task, in building up what repub

old party is equal to the task where dCs
traction has not become absolute. The
Board meets again on the 16th June.
AN ASHEVILLE SHOEMAKER.— There
is in our penitentiary a shoemaker from
Asheville who makes as pretty a boot
as ever graced the foot. Boots that he
innkes for six dollars could not be
bought in this city lor less than twelve.
And he wa3 doing so well, they say, at
his trade in Asheville. lie didn't buy
goods on a credit, and never pay lor
them,'for that is not a penitentiary ot.
fence, indeed it's not; but he bought
some goods knowing that they were
stolen, and for this he was sentenced to
the pen! tent far}' for ten years. His wife
came down here and died and thef gave
him holiday and scnt*o guard with him
to attend 1 her funeral, and then time
was up, the State cried uiorebocfs, and
the Asheville shoemaker is still pegging
away, with no sign of crape about him,
unless in his heart, a place where crape
don't show well, and we are thinking
of borrowing six dollars from some
man, never to pay back, to buy a pair
of boots frcm tHe Asheville shoemaker
