Recalled to Life.

The recall of a country girl to life by a sister’s shriek is one of the local topics Of the Journal , of Evansville, Ind. Thß young lady had been quite ill for weeks, and was thought to be dying of consumption. She had grown so weak and emaciated that her strength was no more than a child's. One afternoon, while lying upon her couch, her sister came in from a walk and sat by the bedside. A conversation began, and the invalid began to speak. As she uttered the first word, she felt a bewildering weakness, and a sinking flutter of her breath. Her eyes became fixed, the lower jaw dropped as in death,* and the body became motionless, while consciousness disappeared. The sister leaped from her seat, and ran to the door shrieking to her mother that her sißter was dead. The sound of the shriek penetrated through the veil of death, and ronsed the sinking faculties. The blood, which had congested in the longs, was sent back by the nervous shock, and gathering her strength by a strong effort of wUI, the invalid opened her eyes 'and awoke to life again, breathless and amazed at the thrilling peril she had escaped.
