THE DEAD ALIVE. Tho subjoined narrative, from Chambers' Journal, is stated to bo translated from a foreign newspaper. It is necessary to remind tho render that tho Island of Mauritius, apper? taining at this day to tho English, was originally colonized by tho French, and that the population yet consisted, in a great measure, of per? sons of that nation, to -whom, by a formal treaty between the powers con? cerned, their ancient laws and usages were preserved without any material alterations. Some time ago, tho Sieur Clodomir Frcnois, a rich merohant of tho island, was found dead and frightfully disfigured in bis own habitation. His body was discovered lying on tho floor, with his head and faco muti? lated by means of a pistol, and all doubts as to tho cause of the catas? trophe wero dispelled by tho disco? very of the fatal weapon by the side of tho corpso, and also of a paper in tho hand-writing of tho deceased. Thia paper contained tho following words : . "I am ruined! a villain has robbed mo of twenty-five thousand livres sterling; dishonor munt bo my por? tion, and I cannot await to survive it. I leave to my wife the task of distributing among my creditors the last which remains to us; and I pray that God, my friends, and my ene? mies, may pardon my self-destruction. ' Yet, in another minute, I shall bo in eternity. "CLODOMIR FRENOIS." Great was tho consternation caused by this tragic event, which waft tho moro unexpected as tho loss alluded to in tho note had never been made public Tho deceased had been held in great esteem all over tho colony, as a man of strict honor and probity, and was universally lamented. His attached widow, after endeavoring faithfully to fulfill his last wishes, found her grief too overpowering to permit her to minglo longer with the world, and took tho resolution of consecrating her remaining days to the service of religion. Two months after the sad end of her husband, she entered a convent, leaving to a nephew of her lato merchant, a physician, tho charge of completing the distri? bution of the effects of Frenoisamong his creditors. A minute examination of tho papers of the defunct led to tho discovery of the period at which tho unfortunate merchant had been robbed; and this period was found to correspond with tho dato of tho disappearance of a mau named Moon, long in tho em? ploy of Frenois. Of this man, on whom suspicion naturally fell, nothing could bo learned, on inquiry; but shortly after the division of tho late merchant's property, Moon re-ap pearod in tho colony. When taken lip and examined respecting the cause of his flight, ho stated that he had been sent by his master to France to recover certain sums duo to tho mer? chant there, in which mission ho had been unsuccessful; and ho further averred that, if Clodomir Frenoi?, in his existing correspondence, bad thrown any suspicion upon him, (Moon,) tho whole was but a protext to account for tho deficiencies of which tho merchant himself was the solo cause and author. This declara? tion, mado by a man who seemed to fear no injury, and whoso worldly circumstances remained, to appear- j unces, tho samo as they had over been, had tho effect of silencing, if they did not satisfy, tho examiners; and tho affair soon foll, in a great men? suro, out of tho public rocolloction. Things remained for a short timo in this condition, when, ono morn? ing, Mr. William Barnett, principal creditor of tho lato Clodomir Frenois, heard a knocking at his gato at a very early hour. Ho called up one of tho servants, who wont down and opened tho door, and immediately returned with tho intelligence that a stranger, who seemed desirous of keeping his person concealed, wished to speak with Mr. Burnett in private. Mr. Burnett rose, tnrew on his dressing gown, and descended to tho parlor, lie saw thero a stranger, a tall porson, seated iii an easy and famili?r atti tu do, -with a copy of tho Morning Post in his hand. The back of the visitor was turned to Mr. Burnett, as he entered. Bather surprised to see a stranger oonduot himself so like an old friend of tho house, Mr. Burnett said, aloud: "Sir, may I beg to know your busi? ness with me?" The stranger turned round, and ad? vanced to salute his host, warmly and courteously. Mr. Burnett started back, and uttered a loud exclamation of surprise and alarm. Well he might, for before him stood his old friend and debtor, Clodomir, whom ho himself had followed to the grave. What passed at that interview be? tween Mr. Bnruett and his strange visitor remained, for tho time, a se? cret. Mr. Burnett was observed to issue several times, palo and agitated, from his dwelling, and to visit tho magistrate charged with tho criminal process of tho colony. In tho course of that day, while John Moon was regaling himself with tea under tho palm trees of his gar don, in company with a Circassian female whom ho had bought some timo previous, ho was arrested an?J taken to prison by tho oflicers of jus ticc. On tho following day, ho wei brought to tho criminal court, ac? cused of robbing tho lato Clodom? Frenois, the crimo being conjoinec with breach of trust and violence Moon smiled at tho charge with al tho confidence of a man who had no thing to fear. Tho judge having de manded of him if ho confessed tin chargo, tho accused replied that th? chargo was altogether absurd, tba clear testimony was necessary to fi: such n crimo upon bim; and that, n< far from there being any such ovi dence producoable, neither tho wido\ of tho deceased nor any one persoi in his service had ever heard tho pre tended robbery oven onco mentioned by Frenois during bis life. "Do you then affirm your inna cence?" repeated the judge, gravely after hearing all that the other had ti say. "I will avouch my innocence," rc plied Moon, "even before tho bod; of my late master, if that be necc* sary!" [Such a thing of ten took pjac under tho old colonial law. J "JohuMoon," 6aid tho judge, i a voice broken by some peculiar erne tion, "it is before your lato maste that you wjll have to assert your inuc cence; and may God moko the trat' appear!" A signal from tho judgo accompr nied these words, and immediately door opened, and Clodomir Frenoii tho supposed suicide, entered th court. Ho advanced to tho bar wit a slow and deliberate step, having h: eye calmly but sternly fixed ou tl: prisoner, his servant. A great sensi tion was caused in the court by h appearance. Uttering shrieks of alan and horror, tho females, present Ile from the spot. The accused foll o his knees in abject terror, and shut deringly confessed his guilt. For time, no voioe was heard but hi However, os it became apparent tin a living man stood' before the cour the advocate for tho prisoner gaiue courage to speak. He demanded tin the identity of tho merchant bc c tablished, and the mystery of li existence bo explained. He said th tho court should not ho biased I what might provo to be a mero ace dental likeness between a man livii and one deceased; and that such i avowal as that of tho prisoner's, e tracted in a moment of extraordina terror, was not to bo held of rum weight. "Before being admitb bore as accuser or witness," continu* the advocate, addressing tho rcsus< tated merchant, "prove who and wh you aro, and discloso by what chan tho tomb, which so lately recoiv your body, mangled by bullets, li given up ita tenant, nud restored y< to tho world." Tho firm appeal of tho ndvocal who continued .steadfast to his du under circumstances that would ha closed tho lips of most men, call forth tho following narrativo frc Clodomir Frenois: "My story may bo soon told, a will suffico to establish my identi When I discovered tho robbery co mit ted by tho accused, he had th fled from tho island, and I speed saw that all attempts to rotako h would provo fruitless. I saw ri and disgrace before mo, and carno tho resolution of terminating my ] before tho evil day came. On 1 night on which this d?termin?t was formed, I was seated alone in : private chambor. I had writtei letter, which was found on my tal and had loaded my pistol. This do I prayed for forgiveness from Maker for tho act of despair I i about to commit. Tho end of pistol was at my head, and my lin on tho lock, when a knock at the 01 door of tho house startled mo. I c coaled tho weapon and went to door. A man entered, whom I roc nized to bo the sexton of tho pal in which I lived. He boro n sack his shoulder, aud in it tho body < man newly buried, which was < tined for my nephew, the physic then living with mo. Tho scarcit; bodies for dissection, ns tho com aware, compels thoso who aro ? ions to acquire skill in tho med profession to procuro them by possiblo secret means. Tho soi was at first alarmed at seeing 'Did my nephew request yon tob; this body?' said I. 'No,' replied mau, 'but I know his anxiety to tain ono for dissection, and too upon mo to como and offer him body.' 'For morey's sake,' con tinned the sexton, 'do not betray me, sir, or I shall loso my situation, and my family's bread. ' 4 'While the man was speaking, a strango idea entered my head, and brought to my despairing bosom hopos of continued hie and recover? ing honor. I stood for a few moments absorbed in thonght, and then recol? lecting myself, I gavo two pieces of gold to tho resurrectionist, the sam which ho had expected. Telling him to keep his own secret, and that all would be well, I sent him away and carried tho body to my cabinet. The wholo of tho household had pre? viously been sent ?ut of tho way on purpose, and I had timo to carry into execution tho plan which had struck mo. The body was, luckily, of the same stature as myself, and like me in complexion. I know tho man; he had boen a poor offender, abandoned by his family. 'Poor relic of mor? tality,' said 1, with tears in my eyes, 'nothing which man can do eau now injure- thee; yet, pardon me, if I rudely disfiguro thy lifeless substance. It is to prevent tho ruin of not ono, but twenty fnmilics. And should suo cess attend my attempt, I swear that thy children shall bo my children; and when my own hour comes, we shall rest together in tho tomb to which thou shalt bo borne before me.'" Tho most lively interest was excited in tho court. Frenois proceeded: "I then stripped oft' my clothes, and dressed tho body in them. This accomplished, I took up tho pistol, and with a hand more reluctant than when I had applied it to my own per? son, I tired it closo to tho head of the deceasod, and at once caused such a disfigurement as rendered it impossible for tho keenest oyo to de? tect tho substitution which had been mado.

THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, tho great American Alterativo and Blood Puri? fier, is tho most perfect vcgetublo com Sound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and iaphoretics; making it tho most effective invigorating, rejuvenating aiyl blood cleansing cordial known to tho world. In introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to thc public, observation loads ns to remark that too little attention is paid to tho "lifo of all llosb," tho blood. Many diseases, and, too, many complaints, which havo their origin tu a vitiated state of tho blood, aro treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if tho remedy bad been applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would havo been removed. The Queen's Delight is offered to tho afflicted as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from au impure condition of tho blood. It has a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is saul, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than bo begins to die, aud that thc characteristics of tho living organism aro ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless tho blood is pure, in supplying tho waste tis? sues with material, it must be thu eause of innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inllamma tious, Fevers, Ac. Life and health is only to ba maintained by tho circulation of puro arterial blood. We therefore advise avery ona whoso blood is in tho least vitiated by indulgence I or excess, and whoso constitution is im ?laired by discaso and is suffering from Uiuuniausm, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of tho Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughne ss of tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in tho Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Sypbilictic Borea, Indigestion, Inflammation of tho Rladder and Kidneys, Pains in thu Back, Goneral Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to use tho Queen's Delight. Females of deiicaiu constitution, suffer ing from weakness and depression ot mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, have a pleasant and suro remedy in the Queen's Delight. Children whoso fair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promise of health and beauty, but too soon become blanched and palo by some hereditary taint of thu blood, will havo the rich booii restored by using tho Queen's Delight. Tho uuaccliinatod and persons traveling into warm countries will find tho Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in a chango of climate, diet and life. Tho extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by tho Queen's Delight Compound is attracting tho attention of ovory ono, not only at homo, but abroad. Tho merits of this compouud aro being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say of it in Now York: "It is a remedy of much importance and value, exerting an influence ovor all tho secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known altorati vo. It is extensively used in all tho various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in which its uso is followed by thu most successful result?." Its proportios as a remedy wero first in? troduced to thu notice of tho profession by Dr. Tkos. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as 1828, as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring uso of mercury. Dr. Simona' state? ments havo been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. ll. Frost, of Charleston. From thc reports in its favor, tboro seems no reason to doubt the efficacy of this medicino in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints benefited by alterativo medicines.
