"Hero is a young w< m m ?rho lias lind as curious au experience, I think-, as any you every heard of," Haid a Greenpoint lady to the reporter, ' ('lara, show him j the* plate." Miss Clara Munee, who was sewing upon a dress for the lady who spoke, laid j aside her work, and. going to thc drawer | in the sideboard, took out a silver collin plate, which sheofiercd lor inspection.! Il bore the inscription : :OLA Ii A M IN (j li, ; Died June '.i, 1801, ; I Aged li; years. : "Why, to whom does liri-? refer ?" a-k td thc reporter. "lt refers to me," replied Misa Munee, quietly. "Il was on my eoflin-al leust J suppose I may call it my collin, tl ough I was liol buried in it, however, for some hours, nnd had it not been for the intelli gence of a lady who came lo attend my funeral I should have been in it now. My uncle took it to his home in Chicago, where hu is fond of showing it to his friends um] telling my story. I kepi tho plate, which 1 seldom allow anyone to see, for the recollections it awakens mc not pleasant. "Wlu n i was a young git! I was in very dei ?cate health. I used to fall into trances, in which I knew all tbul was going on around mc, and heard every wotil said in the room where I lay, but I could not speak or make tho slightest sign of life. My body grew gradually colder, but ordinarily I aroused myself with a start w ?thin ten *>r fifteen minutes. Tile doctor said it was a form of epilepsy, and warned mo that some doy or other an attack might bc prolonged and mis taken for death, lt ai ways affected me nuder thc same conditions. Aller sleep ing, us consciousness slowly returned, I found myself wide awake, but unable to speak or move. "After the doctor's caution, I begun to gnnv afraid of myself, ll was a horrible sensntion. i dreaded to go io sleep at night, und, though drowsiness over powered mc at last, I awoke unrefreshed, buring the day 1 was languid und tired, but I dared not lie down, for I knew by experience timi if I slept by daylight I was almost certain la (all into a trance on awaking. A s a consequence of all this mental disturbance I beenme seriously ill, and I was ordered to the country, but before arrangements could be linnie for me to go I was stricken down with brain fever, uud my life was despaired ol. "Now, before the fever attacked me, and while I was confined tn my bed by the sickness brought on by anxiety nbuut my condition, tho trances seemed to dis appear. When I slept I was refreshed, and awoke nt once lo full vigor, and not, as formerly, by slow degrees, to wretched helplessness and immobility. I think I should have escaped the brain fever had it not been for the doctor. Ho told me that the epilepsy was only mustering its forces for au attack moro vigorous than any I had yet experienced-as a storm sometimes lulls before it sweeps every thing before il. Ile frightened inc terribly, and my brain gave way. "The brain fever was conquered, but I was very weak-so weak that I did not rally. The doctor, always cheerful, said I never would. I lay for days neither asleep nor awake, but not in a trance, for I could move and speak feebly. 'Sho may go out like the simd' of a ca die ut any minute,' said the doctor, in my bear ing, and I nearly verified his prediction by going out at once. "Ono day-it was June 2, 1 Sli t-I felt that I was really improving. Life seem ed tobe coming back to me. Tho doctor had not nuticedit, but I knew by thc un wonted distinctness willi which ibo rum bleof the Oreenpoint wagons struck upon my ear that I wnsgnthoring new strength. At last I grew tired, and, for the first time in several weeks, I slept soundly aud healthily. "I awoko slowly, and willi the rigor of limb that I knew so well. An unuttera ble horror took possession of mo as I felt that I was in a trance and remember ed the good doctor's capacity for blunder ing. Mv fears wero well founded, for half an hour later, when the nursu came to look at me, I heard her utter a (prick exclamation of alarm, and hurrying away, she called my mother mid sisters. The doctor was summoned, and arrived when nil my relatives in the houso were around my bed. Ho felt my pulse, put his hand upon my forehead, forced open one of my eyes, and examined the pupil, little thinking that I saw him ns plainly ns ho saw rae, and sorrowfully remark ed: " 'I feared it. She is going fast !' "Oh, thc misery of that day and tho . night following ! On ibo morning of June 3 my body waa cold and stiff, and, while my mind was as activo as every. I knew that I looked. Uko a corpse. My friends thought me dead, and whon tho doctor came they stood asido, silent und weeping, nnd made way for him to ap proach tho bed. He looked at me steadi ly for a few seconds and then said rever entially : " 'Yes, poor creature, she is gone,' and ho covered my fuce with the sheot. . "And this was tho man who had first told mo that an epileptic lit might bo -?o prolonged os to be mistaken lor death. My indignation at that moment absolute ly overpowered my fear. Otherwise, I believe I should have died on tho spot. "For more than two days I lay motion less on the bed. Tuberoses were strewn over nie. Friends came to seo me, and reminded each other of good qualities iu mo that, neither myself or others, had ever before been suspected. 1 beard it all. Nobody spoke of me except au n corpse ; none noticed, what I am euro must have boen apparent, that my face had not lost tho color of life, and on the night of Juno 4th I lay beside my open collin! On tho morning of tho 5th I was put into it, for I was to bo buried that day. , "I had heard the inscription on tho pinto read aloud, over and over again : 'Clara Munee. Aged 1G years. Poor girl. 8o young to be called away. But she was always delicate 1' Oh, why could I not speak ? I could not even try to speak or move. All volition seemed to have died in me, and I could only pray ailontly that I might die too before the last rite: were performed, but I felt that t hoi u was little chance of that, because I was full of lifo. "The undertaker's men were in tho room waiting to fasten down the coffin lid. Kisses {numerable bad been pressed upon my face, and I bad given up ail hope of ?ile, when au old lady, worth all the rest of the visitors put together, elbowed the others out of the way, nnd stood beside the coffin. She was my Aunt Jane, and ahe bad come from Albany to see her . ? favorito niece for tho last time. Ker, presence seemed to calm me, for we lov ed each other so well that I could not think it possible that she would allow me to be buried alive. She was stooping to kiss me when she suddenly started back with the very simple and homely re mark : " 'Why, her nose :s bleeding !" "It was perfectly true, though up to that limo nobody had noticed it. My mental agony had made my nose bleed. "Now, the doctor knew quite enough about his business io be very much start tied at seing fresh blood flowing from s body that bad been dead two days. He ox - amined my fa ce and said nastily, an he for the first time noticed tho color, ' fako her back to bed.' "Thesuddenness and immensity of the relief 'restored all mv faculties, nod as the men took me up 1 said, with hardly an effort, and in perfect natural tones: " 'Thank you, doctor. How aro yoi'? Auutte?' j "I think I have told you nearly the whola -tory. I recovered very quickly, and have nev? r had a nance ?ince. 'Du do? tor ?tili practice* medicine in <>rccn point, and is considered one ol its bc-t nnthoiitic* on <!i?e.i-es ol'children, and whenever he .-ces me he tell? me confi dentially that from the fir>t he lind a 'latent suspicion thal the vital ?park ling ercd somewhere,' hut I do him the jus tice to discr?dit the statement." Josh Hillings on Hotels. J dm't know of any business more Halter'onie than the tavern business.
