Tun subjoined narrative, published origi- <
nally in Chambers' Journal, is stated to 1
have been translated from a foreign newspa- I
|?er. It is necessary to remind tlio reader
(hat the Island of Mauritius, appertaining at <
r this day to the English, was oiiginally colo- t
' nized by the French, and that the popttla- I
lion yet consists, in a groat measure, of per- i
eons of that nation, to whom, by a forma) i
treaty between the powers concerned ; their \
f ancient laws and usages were preserved i
without any material alterations. i
1 About twelve years ago, the Sieur Clodo- t
inir Frenois, a rich merchant of the Island,
was found dead and frightfully disfigured in j
his own habitation. Ilis body was diacov- i
ered lying on the floor, with the head and
face mutilated by n pistol, and all doubt as ;
to the cause of the catastrophe was dispelled |
by the discovery of the fatal weapon by the

This paper contained the following word* :' |
'I aid ruined. A villain has robbed ine j

Oreat consternation was caused by this 1
tragic event, which was tho more uiiexpecljjr

> A minute examination of the papers of
Che defunct, led to the discovery or the pe7^
friod at which the unfortunate merchant had |
beau robbed ; and this poiiod was found to
ft Correspond with tbe date of tli? dlaappeariMce
of a man. named John Moon, being in

| shortly after the division ^ the Utc^iner
colony. When taken up nud examined respecting
the cause of his (light, he stated that
he had been sent by his master to France to
recover certain sums due to the merchant \
there, in which mission he had been unsnc- ,
cessful. lie further averred, that if Clodo- ,
mir Frcnois ir. liis existing correspondence
lind thrown any injurious susnicion* nnon
him, (Moon) tiie whole was but h pretext to
Hccouut for the defhionces of which the merchant
himsclt was the cause and author.?
This declaration, made by a man who seemed
to fear no inquiry, and whose worldly
circumstances remained to nppearnnce the
same as they had ever been, had the effect
of silencing, if it did not satisfy the examinators
; and the affair soon fell, in a great
measure, out of the public recollection.
Things remained for a short time in this
condition, when one morning Mr. William
Burnett, principal creditor of the latcClodouiir
Fretiois, heard a knocking at his gate
i\t a very early hour. Ho called up one of
his servants, who went down and opened the
door, and immediately returned with the intelligence
that a stranger, who seemed desirous
of keeping his person concealed, wished
to speak with Mr. Burnett in private.?
Mr. Burnett rose, tlnew on his dressing
gown, and descended to the parlor. lie
saw thero a stranger of tall person, seated in
?n easy and familiar attitude upon a sofa,
with a number of the Morning Post in his
liatid. The back of the visitor was turned
to Mr. Burnett as lie entered. Hather surprised
to see a stranger conduct himself so
like an old friend of lite house, Mr. Burnett
uiid aloud :
Sir, may 1 beg to know your business
ivitli me ?'
The stranger turned round and advanced
to salute his host warmly and courteously.
Mr. Iturnclt started back, and utlorcUa loud |
exclamation of surprise and alarm. Well (
lie might; for before his eyes stood his i
friend and debtor, Clodomir Frenois, whom '
lie had beheld nearly a year before, a inuti- i
lated corps-e, and whom he himself, had fob (
lowed to the grave ! <
What passed at that interview, between i
Mr. lUirtielt, and his stinuge visitor, remain- j
?d a secret. Mr. Ihirnelt was observed to i
issue several times pale and agitated, from i
his dwelling, and to visit the magistrate i
charged with tbo criminal processes of the (
colony. In the course of that day, while i
John Moon was regaling himself with tea <
tinder the palm trees of his garden, along ~i
with a Circassian female whom he had |
[>ought sometime previously, he was arrested
wd taken to prison by the oftiecrs ofjusticc. I
On the following day he was brought before
the criminal court, accused of robbing
iho late Clodomir Frenois, the crime bo:ng
conjoined with breach of trust and voileuce.
Moon smiled at the charge with all the confidence
of a ;uan who had nothing to fear,
l'hc judgo having demanded of him if he
confessed the crime, the accused replied that
the charge was altogether absurd ; that clear
testimony was necessary to fix Mich a delict
upon him ; and that so fur from there being
my such evidence produceablc, neither the
widow of the deceased, nor any one person
in hie service, had ever heard the pretended
robbery even once mentioned by Frenois
luring his life.
4])o you then affirm your innocenco}' repeated
the judge, gravely, after hearing a!I I
rvt 11 As* I. a. 1 ?a >* ?
'I will avouch my innocence,' replied I
Moon. 4even before the Uxlv of my late master,
if that be necessary.' i
(Such a thin# often took place under the 1
Did colonial law.)
'John Moon,' said the judge, in a voice
broken by some peculiar emotion, 'it is before
your late viasler that you will have to 1
issert vouf innocence, and may God make 1
the truth to appear!'
A signal fiem the judge accompanied
these words, and immediately a door open
cd, and Clodomir Frcnois, the supposed suicide,
ctftored the court. Ifc advanced to
the bar with a slow and deliberate step, having
his eye cnlmiv, siemiy fixed on the prisoner,
his servant. A great sensation was
caused in court by his Appearance. Uttering
shrieks of alarm and horror, the females
present lied front the spot. Tho accused
fell on his knees in abject terror, and slntd
tiering confessed Ins guilt. For a time no
voico was heard but his. However, us it
became apparent that a living man stood
before his court, the advocate of the prison*
er gained couritge to speak, lie demanded
that the identity of the merchant he established,
ntid the mystery of bis existence be
explained. He said that the court must not
bo biased by what might prove to be a
mere accidental likeness between a person
living and one deceased ; and that such an
avowal o? that of the prisoner, extracted in
a moment of extraordinary terror, was not
to be held of much weight.
llefore being admitted here as an accuser
or witness, continued the advocate, addressing
the resuscited merchant, 'prove who and
what you are, and disclose by what eliance
the tomb, which so lately roceiyed your
body, mangled with bullets, has given up
its tenant, Mid restored you to the work! in
life and healtl?.' jfe
The firm appeal of the advocate, who con*
tinned steadfast to his duty under circum*
stances th(it would, have closed the lips of
L ' ' '
most men, callud forth the followiug narrative
from Clodomir Frcnois:?
'My storv may soon be tolj. awl will suffice
to establish my ideotitv. When I discovored
the robbery committed by tho accused,
he had then fled from the iidnud, and
I speedily saw that attempts to retake him
would prove fruit lex. 1 saw ruin and disgrace
lmfore me, and catno to the resolution
ef terminating my life before the evil day
came. On the night in which this determination
was formed, 1 was seated alone in
u?j private chamber. 1 had written the letter
which was found on my table, and had
hauled iny pistol. This done, I prayed for
forgiveness from my Maker for iho act I was
sboui to commit. The end of the pistol
was at my head, and my finger on tho lock,
when a knock nt the outer door of the house
itartlcd ntc, I concoalcd my weapon, and
went to tho door. A man entered whom 1
recognized to la; the sexton of the parish
in which 1 lived. He boro a sack on his
shoulders and in it the body of a man newly
buried, which was destined for iny nephew,
the physician, then living with inc.?
The scarcity of 1 todies for dissection, as the
couit is aware, compels those who are anxious
to acquire skill in the medical-profession
to procure them by any possible secret j
means. The sexton was at first alarmed j
when he met me. 'Did my nephew request 1
you to bring this laxly ?' Said I. *No,'replied j
ihe tnan ; 'but I know liis anxiety to obtain i
one for dissection and took it upon mo to I
offer him this body/ 'For mercy's sake,' J
continued the sexton, Mo not betray n>e, sir,1
or 1 shall lose my situation uud my family's
brawl'
'While this tnan was thus speaking, a
strange idea entered my mind, and brought
to my despairing bosom hopes of continued j
life and honor. I stood for n few moments
rtbsorbed in thought, and gave to the resurrectionist,
the sum which he had expected,
felling hitn to keep his own counsel, and
that all would be well, i sent him away, and |
carried the body to my cabinet- Tho whole
of tho household had been sent out of the
awav. on numose. and 1 l?n?l
into execution (lie plan which had struck
inc. The body was fortunately of tho same
ttature n$ myself, and like rue in complexion.
1 know the man ; he had been a |>oor
iifiender, abandoned by lii? family, iioor
relio of mortality !' said I, with tears in my
pyes, 'nothing which man may do can now
injure thee; yet pardon ine if 1 rudely dis-J
figure thy lifeless substance. It is to prerent
the ruin of not one but twenty families
! Aud should success attend my attempt,
T swear thai thy children shall be my cliil- i
iron ; and, when my hour cornea, we shell j
rest together in the tomb to which thou ;

At this portion of the merchant's narra
live, the most lively interest was excited in
lire court, and testified even by tears from
many of the audience. Freuoi* thus pro- i
coeded:
'1 then stripped off my clothes, and dressed
tho body in them. This accomplished, 1
then took up the pistol, and with a hand
more reluctant than when I applied it to my

keenest eye to detect tho substitution which |
had been made.

court, and that ho had formed connections

1 liavo been equally fortunate
in other respect*. While my unworthy

I liavo been successful in discovering the

and strangely laid bare to the world, did

conception of the subject.
And now let mo give you some
facts from the history of one of my
own friciuls, whom I loved well-nigh
as a father, one ot the noblest men that|
ever trod this globe, lie left us near- j
ly six years ago. Although not one of;
the earliest, he was in the field at a ;
j sufficiently early date to entitle him to |
I the name of a pioneer preacher.
lie too was a specimen of young
America, for he began to preach at,
the age of sixteen years. As I remcm- j
tier, he had never received three'
months' schooling in his life. He was
remarkably handsome. For five and
! twenty years he was called the Appollo
of the AVest?albeit for a good portion
of tlie time Appollo in ho.nespun.

ncnry way, who isiiohki nave uoen a
good Judge in such matters, prononnced
him the most eloquent mail he ever
lieard open his lips.
I have said ho was very handsome, j
and that, in t lie esteem of many of his j
I brethren was equivalent to heresy. I
! have known many well-meaning sinv ,
| pletons, couldn't abide him because lie
' looked so like a "dandy." Many of
the old brethren of the laity and cler-j
gy thought it "wasn't in him to be aj
preacher. When they saw him com- i
ing towards them with his ingenuous
face and kindly carriage, their countenances
would lengthen to a preternatural
longitude, and uttering what they :
meant to be a pious groan, the}' would :
murmur among thomsolvcs, "ho'll ncv
or do."
1'here was one old brother, who,
i while ho shared this prejudice, nevertheless
felt some interest, in the strip- j
ipling; blunted, indeed, must have'
been that nature which refused res- j
ponsc to the generous spirit of 1113'
friend. The old gentleman Ux>k it upon
himself to deliver admonitory lectures

fry to l>e like a preacher, and look j
like a preacher ? You'll never bo worth
shucks as long as you live."
"I don't mean anything by it," modestly
responded the young man?never i
have I known a woman more diffident i
tliun he was, except in presence of
peril, where lion was never bolder?
can't help tho way I took; I am just
the way God made me."

"I have to wear the clothes that arc
given me; you know I have 110 money

"It that is all," said the ohl man, "it
can soon bo fixed. "NVill you wear a
suit of clothes I'll have ina?lo for ^*ou t"
"Anything in the world," rejoined
the other.
"Very well, trust me. I'll make
you look like a preacher."
"I wish vou would, with all my
hoart;-nothing would please mo better"
said the future orator.
They parted, the young man going
to his work, the old man to see to the
* tttiloriftg*. A,1 *1*3 ?nd of six weeks,
the ap]>ointed time, tho -> young man
made ins appearance. The aged saint,
standing in the midst of a number of
friends whom he had summoned to
witness the transformation of his deformed
protege, rubbing his hands in
idee, pleased with his anticipation of
success, pointed to a thicket of bushes
behind whieh the new suit waa deposited?for
houses were small, and the
only dressing-room was the "timber."
The remmearanco of the vounir cler
gy man in his canonicals was impatinctlv
awaited. At length, attired in
his new habiliments, with manly stride
and noble person he approaches. The
old gentleman looks, then stares, unable
to believe the evidence of his senses.
He hastens to meet the person,
then withdraws a pace or two, and
performs a circuit round him. Some
trick has been played upon him ; these
are not the clothes ho caused to be
manufactured. Hushing up, he turns
the young man round and round.?
''Yes, it is the very suit?copperas
homespun, shad belly coat, a vest to
match, breeches as nearly alike as possible.
Whirling on his heel, his countenance
expressive of disgust, mortification,
and contempt, he exclaims, as
ho marches off, "tut, tut, boy ! there's
no use in the world trying to lo anyi
ing with you. You look more like
a dandy now than ever, you did in
vour life."

One other incident of his eventful
career, let nie relate as he told it to me
himself. Jle was preaching in a large
country church on a brignt Sabbath
morning. The house was crowded to
its utmost capacity ; the windows were
all open, one of which was immediately
behind the pulpit, overlooking the
rural graveyard. The preacher was
indulging in a description of the various
typical forms and manifestations of
the llolv Soirt. Wlm tlint ev??r IhmimI
him in one of his happy moods, docs
not remember the cnchnuting power
of his oratory ? Spell bound, breathless,
the audience hung upon his lips.
It was the baptism of Jordan. With John
they saw the opening heaven, the Spirit
ot' God, in the form ot a dove nestling
upon the Savior, when silently suddenly
as an apparition, a milk-white dove
rfew th rough the open window at the
rear of the pulpit, and nestled on the
preacher's shoulder. Astonished, ho
paused ; an instant it sat, then rose,
and describing a circle round his head
away liew the snowy bird to the vernal
pastures and summer \vood3. The
effect of this startling coincidence upon
tho audience I leave to imagine.
1 have said he persevered. Ho became
a Doctor of Divinity, and deserved
bis degree, which is no faint
praise in tho United State. He became
the President of a University,
and graced the chair ho filled ; he be
came a Bishop in tho Church ot God ;

On a beautiful summer's day, a clergyman
was cnlled to preach in a town
in Indiana, to a young Episcopal con
grcgauon. i\c rue close ot ins uiscotirse,
ho addressed hid young hoarold
in such words as these:?
"Learn that the nrescnt life is a
preparation for and has a tendency to
eternity. The present is linked with
the luture throughout creation, in the
vegetable, in the animal, and in the
moral world. As is tlio seed, so is the

is the boy, so is the man; and as is
the rational boing in this world, 60 it

from God in the next; and Enoch walk

Napoleon was accustomed to wear
n coat of mail under bis clothes, and
which lie rarely went without. On
his departure for Belgium, he thought
it best to guard against these dangers
with which ho was threatened, by every
means in his power. He accord* ',
ingly sent for a clever workman and
asked if ho thought himself competent;
to make a coat of mail of such texture
that no weapon whatever could penetrate.
On the artificer answering in
the affirmative, Napoleon agreed to
give him 18,000 francs, the sum asked.
On the day fixed, the man
brought his work to the palace. Napoleon
quickly examined it, and ordered
the workman to put it on himself.
The man obeyed. Napoleon
took two pistols, saying, 'We shall
now sco whether this coat of mail is of
the texture you promised me.' lie
fired at his breast, the cuirass resisted.
! Turn around ! tho man obeyed. The
i second ball struck his hack with thei
same result. The poor artificer half
dead with fright, thought these trials
would l>e sufficient, but ho was mistaken
in his calculation. Bonaparte
next armed himself with a long fowling
piece, and made the same experiment
on the shoulders, back and breast
of tho trembling patient. Happily the
cuirass resisted, and saved the inventor
from so cruel a trial. How muck
