EPISODE IX A SURG.2 N'J LIFE, I had been about a year a lecturer on auatomy in a large towo io the North: I shall uot name it, as the events I am about to relate really happened, nnd some ting lit rccrgaize them. At the date it their occur renco I was suffering from one of those Hoiven sent Hows under which the strongest and mo.-t philo,ophic succumb tor a time many forevtr. Aa 1 was neither stroa nor philosophic, the greatest a Miction mau can H.uffer parsed over me, and le ft rae walking, eating, sleeping, but in the manner oftho.se animals to which we anatomists attribute little or no .c!fconseiousi c.rS in their actions, and no pleasure in the fulfillment of them. We may be wioog; the hungry-look ing arms ol the aucmono may obey u inure than mere unconscious stimulus when they touch and s:eure their prey; but, at all events, man, who possesses all the nervous org iniz ttion lor beinar, doing and suiierin?, is iu as doubtful a case when in such circutn stances as those to which I a 1 t le. was sitting onu saowy December night, with my cigar and Cicero's Let ters to Atticu?, trying t past t! e time, to keep my eyes from that shad ow on the wall which tvery lo.v and then drew them from the large filio I t 1 . 1 i . 1 . leaves ou wnicn ine reai guoi man has unburdened his big heart io his friend; oUjd, too, tho empty chiir beside me seemed occupied by a figure which seemed substance till I looked, then shadow, then mere memory. Thus wis I wetrily getting through the night, when my servant brought me a note a saj.ill.long, black edged euvelope, addressed in a lady's baud; it was this : "Ikar Sir Is it p.j.ss.ble ti take a o ist from the face of one wtio hai la u for two weeks lu a colli u? The beater W ilts your answer." - ..... There was no signature. I tore eff the blank half of the note sluef, wrote " Yes " upon it, and g ive it to my servant. The mere taking of c sts from the dead body is part of the business of an anatomist, he by such 'meat a preserves thosj cu'lines which sink so s .on under the pressure of the atmosphere, of:er thoaa chemical C'laiigej have occurred which our tissues uuderjjo when The spirit leaves ui stranded here, lying wherever it may chance to desert us, in beds or on bleak waste lands, inside houses or ou doorsteps, until our bodiei take again their mysterious part in the formation of an immortal bciti. I had taken many ca-ts of the d i id, but had never beeu asked to do so be lore; by a small note in such dilicutc writing, it was clearly from some one oppressed with feelings much akin to my own. She is, I thought, influenced by that curious perplexity, or that perplexed curiosity, we all feel about our dead. It is not, I thought, the mere desire for a cast; human iustincts would answer her question as well as I could, but " What shall we do with our dead? ' has been a ques tion for each nation as it appeared. 1 thought how some aro now passing their four thousandth year in swathing and cerements, how others are lying in catacombs, pazjd - ou by curious visitors, who seem to think death but a mere national peculiarity and pa-siou. I thought of others, useless id their lives, who are alter death noble monuments, built up for usefulness in the minds of men. I thought, too, of the first time L h:id seen a funeral, it was in mid Atlantic; the laoon shining now and then pa t misses of black cloud, and the large ocean steamer plunging bows utsdor; how the dead wai was laid on the s-ponson, covered with a flag. A clergyman, who happened to be on heard as passenger read the service as we clustered round, holding on as best we could. I remembered how the word-, 'k I kno,v that my Redeemer liveth," rang out over tile rushitur of the water, and how in a little time we committed the body to the deep, till the sea shall give up her dead Then I thought of dust I had worshipped which had returned to dust, and ytarned for the time when mine too should comingle with its fits: e!ement?. . I was aroused from this halfL'cp .... 1 1 i - n Ktt niAfVft. 1 uuiiumuu uuuiu-.i Hug, aua presently another note in the same hand: "Sir: Will you beat C.'tuete y in one hour from now, and brin' with you wnai you mms necessary fer taking a cast? All expenses will b paid; no explanations are needed." "An hour!" I exclaimed; ' who ever took a cast in a cemetery at oue o'clock in the morning? It may b a misdemeanor, lor all I know; it may be a hoax, most 1 kely. No, it is, in all probability, what I thought at first. Here, too, is a poor brokecheartod one. doing what I would do were it my power. Why am I to set 4 difficulties in iter way or question the 1 wisdom o'' her oropo.-al? So ra Tug my servant, ) took a small bag of plaster of Paris, a tin basia, iron

FRIDAY.

il-Al the ether u?ce-a-rie?, and started. A oib was waiting us at the currier of the street. for which dragged as .slowlv throusib the snow to the cemetery. Another cab was standing at the gate, out of which two ladies stepped. I could just see that they were tall, iu deep mourning, and elooely veiled. Ooe, who seemed considerably the ehk-r, addressed me politely, and gave all directions. We walked along the trim gravel walks, a man preceding U3 with a lantern, which the crisp, unsullied snow rendered quite unnecessary; but it added a sort of mystery to the . i .:or scene as it snuu ou me suu, uugaioly inonurneEi ts, and glittered on the snov.'-covcred shrubs, and at last oa an iron-barred gate, which the in in unlocked. Here the two ladies glided past us and followed him closely, till, after a reference to his pocket book and -lioking at several colan-, he laid his hand on one, and sigued to my man to come and assist. It was f-oon pulled down and placed upon the trestles ; it had neither nama nor date, as is u-ual, but tho mau seemed confident he was right iu his selection. Then there was a burst of grief, and iho lder lady drew her compauion away. The man placed a screw driver and a lantern on the colfiu and followed them, leaving my man and myself alone. It was a pltceof very weird aspect, consisting menly cf a long gtlley with shelves in niches, ou which lay coffins of all shapes and sizes. I aui not a nervous man my days have been spent much among the dead but I confess to a feeling of di.-like to such a studio at one A.M., on a winler morning. We soon removed the coffin lid, and by the lantern's light saw a man's face, a sharp outline, waving black hair, a noble forehead, high nose, long black beard and moustache. lie must have been a handsome fellow, thirty. Uut how hollow cheeks, and how wasted Ion?, manly hand. not above were the the larga. A rustle of a woman's dress and the tall lady enters, throws up her veil. and kts.-es the damp, cold forehead, cuts olt some ot the hair, and vanishes e take the cist, close the coffin; it is atraio hoisted ou to the shelf, and, the cold and tedious business over, I am glad to leave the place. Again the dark figure of the elder lady ooa-es toward us, looking taller than ever, as her blaek garments contrast with the snow. She now addresses my S irvant, who was carefully carrying the pieces of still wet plaster. " Is that the cast?-' "No, mum; cast won't be ready till to morrow." "Give lhat to iie." " But, madam,': I said, " it is merely the mould, and scarcely linn; any one unaccustomed to handle such things is sure to destroy it." " Ue good enough, Sir, to give that to me, she said, in such a voice that the gravel walk was nearly being um pire in the dispute as my servant started at the touncl. Vry well, Malam." She shook tha to vcl in which they were and walke I away into thj darkness. ' Wl.o is she? ' I asked the man Wi li the lantern. " No ono knows." he said. " Who was the geutletuan?" '' No one knows; he came one ev-en-uiK to Hotel without any lug gage; his Hn.-n was uot marked; ho h id u ouey enough to bury him here 13 tlia vault, lie was lound uead in say, aail that's his bed, I heard them all I kuevv oi h 'm. Sir Wa i9' tli .'re n i suspicion of sui cIJ I tall joi, Sir, that's all k.no.v. but its suicide stopping tuf lure; so good uiorniog, Sir." f'O v drove hem 3 ard. I ue stars were sinning as tiny only do on a fivsty northern night; the aurora w.'uM .- otue iuus flicker aud die away, aud sometimes a s-far would shoot down anJ disappear, brirg n to my mind B ra'iiCrV tulle ode: "O i : v i, u in jv j ou sliootiu liiiht lie.ke I'l.ut fa.l fail-:, and is 'luenohed afar. . I don't kaowhat it betokeus, Sir, I'm Mire." said my servant, wakening iviih :i start, " but I expect no L'oo 1. Thai old xul knows more tint she set ius." " How do you nil aa?" want a cast, Sir! Not she. when. Sir, youVe seen as mueh aa 1 haw, jou'!l know 'em better; she'd lived long enough in the world to know that icee moulds can't be handled like tlint; she wanted to fee him, Sir, on'y If she's so very fond of him, let him have her properly looked after aecordiug to law." " Kut why should she wish to sec him?" It's curious, Sir; but so it is wheu people know too much about the deaths ot other people, they like to take a peep at them now and then. There was lill Simmonds, who killed the peddler. He covered him up, and would never have been suspectc d, but he would j;o in the night and uncover him, to see if be was still there; s he was caught, an I Here's home, Sir.' With the exception of having my interest a little excited by an advertisement iu tho Times, describing a gentleman who had never returned trom a jjurney to the North, whose features seemed to resemble those of some one I had ouee seen, I could not remember where, the incident just narrated faded from my memory as the ever varying pursuits of daily life occupied my mind. The spring was approaching and the long winter pession drawing to a cloie. when I got the following note from the medical man whose duty it ist) conduct such investigations: " Dear : Wiil you oblige nt3 by coining to my house at 3 V. M. to day, as I wish to conduct tho p. m. examination of a case of supected poisoning? Yours ever, J ." I desired my trusty John to bring the necessary instruments, and went to join my friend. His crrriaga was at the door. We got into it, and John mounted the box. " What Street is it in, G ?" I asked. " No stri e', only the cemetery. The body has bee a buried, or rather vaulted, for several mouths There is no need to remove more than is absolutely necessary for purposes of analysis. You don't mind?" I'Not I. What is the case?" ' Sure, I don't know; most likely nothinj- at all, but it seems a man died in a hotel, and died without medical aivue; he never had time, it would seem, and he was unclaimed ; 1 but as he left they sent him. He had ; some mocey, I suppose, else you'd have seen him in the rooms." i " Vou take things coolly here." i " What's tho use of making a fuss after a man's dead? However, his friends have traced him, and I am ' desired to see into it. I was very busy, didn't even ask his name; it will be in the warrant for exhumatioD, ' thoi!gi." , All this tie I wa3 puzzling my brains as to how all this seemed so fanvliar to me, and 1 was just going to say as much to G when I looked up aud saw John's face looking back through the window behind the eoachmau with the most comical expression of perturbation I ever saw

po-n, oil

on human countenance. In an in

stant the whole midnight scene at the ! cemetery returned to my mind; and ' what I had attached so little importance to then as almost wholly to for- ; -get, I now remembered in its every ,' detail. I need not go over the old story; all was the same except that! the spring flowers were rustling io. j the May day breeze, and children j wer-j playing in hide-and-seek among j the head stones and evergreens. The j rest was the same, as the same man I brought the same lamp, and he and my ( servant pulled down the same, coffin in the same way and put it on the same trestles. This beinir a lezitimate proceeding, the regular attendant removed the lid, and I could see but little change ia the face, so far aa decomposition was concerned there wa3 only an excessive amojnt of moisture about the face, and the grave clothes scorned as if they had been wrung cut of water. G was busily noting down the general appearances when he exclaimed, looking at the white particles sticking about the hair, " Ilelloa! they've been taking a cast of this." The murdfr was out; so 1 said, "Yts, I did with our friend Johu here." ,l Youf 4 Yes; John audi in December." "Before interment, of cour.-e?" "Not a bit; just where yoa are DOW. (i cast a look at the man, as much as to say, "You may go home and pack up any movables you may i care to take with vou." He said nothing more to me, wha had already begun my part of the revolting business; but I could hear mutteriogs, not loud but deep, of " unscrupulous" "unwarrantable," etc., etc., which I knew were inspired by thoughts of myself. concluded to-moeeow.
