" We Doctors sometimes meet with strange adventures," once said to me a diatingnished phjician, with whom I was oa terms of inti¬ macy.
" I have often thonght," I replied, " that the secret history of eome of yonr profession If written out in detail, would make a work of thrilling interest."
"Ido not know that 1 eiaedy agree with you in regard to detail," rejoined my friend; " for we medical men, like every one else, meet with a great deal that is common place, and therefore not worthy of being recorded : hnt grant us the privilege of you novelists, to select our characters and scenes, and work them into a kind of plot, wilh a striking de¬ nouement, and I doubt uot many of us could give you a romance iu real life, comprising only what we have seen, whicli would equal, if uot surpass, anything you ever met in the way of fiction. Bye the bye, I believe I never told yon of the most strange and ro¬ mantic adventure of my life ?"
"You never told me of auy of your adven¬ tures, Doctor," I replied; "but if you have a story to tell, you will find me au eager listener."
" Very well, then, as 1 have a few minutes to spare I will tell yon one more wildly ro¬ mantic, more iucredibly rem.arkable, if 1 may SD speak, than you probably ever found in a work of fiction."
"Twenty-five years ago," pursued the Doctor,  " I entered the medical College  at
F , as a student.   I was  then young, in-
expBrienced,and inclined to be timid and sen¬ timental ; and well do I remember the horror I experienced, wheu one of the senior students, under pretence of showing me the beauties ofthe institutiou.suddenly thrust me into the dissecting room, among severel dead bodies, and closed the door upon me ; nor do I forget how my screeches of terror, and prayers of release from that awful place, made me the laughing stock of my older companions.
" Ridicule is a hard thing to bear; the coward becomes brave to escape it, and the brave man fears it more than he would a belching cannon. I suflFered from it till I could bear it no more ; and wrought np to a pitch of desperation, I demanded to know what I might do to redeem my cbaracter, and gain an honorable footing ,imong my fellow students.
" I will tell you," said one, his eyes sparkling with mischief; " if you will go at the midnight hour, and dig up a subject, and take it to your room and remain alone with it till moming, we will let you off, aud never say another word about your womanly fright." " I shuddered, it was a fearful alternative, but it seemed less terrible to suffer all the horrors that might be concentrated into a sin¬ gle night than to bear, day after day, the jeers of my companions.
" Where shall 1 go 1 and when ?" was my timid inquiry, andthe very thought of such an adventure made my blood mn cold.
**To the Eastern Cemetery to-night, at twelve o'clock," replied my tormentor, fixing his keen, black eyes upon me, and allowing his thin lips to curl with a smile of con¬ tempt. " But what is the use of asking such a coward aa yon to perform such a manly- feat i" he added deridingly. [ " His word stung me to the qulcic; and without further reflection, and scarcely aware of what I was saying, I rejoined, boldly:
" I am no coward, air, as I will prove to you by performing wbat you call a manly feat." " You will go ?" he asked quickly "I will."
"Bravely said, my lad ! " ho rejoined, in a tone of approval, and exchanging his espres- aion of contempt for one of surpriae and ad¬ miration. " Do this Morris, and the firat man that insult* you afterward makes an enemy of me."
Again I felt a cold shudder pass through my frame, at the thonght of what was before me, but I had accepted his challenge in the presence of many witnesses—for this conver¬ sation occurred as we were leaving the hall after listening to an evening lecture—and 1 was resolved to make my word good, should it even cost my life; in fact, I know I could not do otherwise now, witbout the risk of being driven in disgrace from the college.
" I shonld here observe, that in those days there were professional resurrectionists; and as it was absolutely necessary to have sub¬ jects for dissection, the unpleasant business of procuring devolved upon the students, who, in consequence, watched every funeral eagerly, and calculated the chances of cheat¬ ing the sexton of his charge and the grave of its victim.
" There had been a funeral that day, of a poor orphan girl, who had been followed to tbe grave by very few friends ; and-this was considered a favorable chance for the party whose tnrn it was to procure the next sub¬ ject, as the graves of the poor and friendless were never watched with the same keen vigilance as tho.-e of the rich and influential. Still, it waa no trifling risk to attempt to ex¬ hume the bodies of the poorest and humblest —for not unfrequently persons were fonnd on the watcb even over these ; and only the year before, one student, while at his mid¬ night work, had been mortally wounded by a rifle ball; and another, a month or two subsequently, had been rendered a cripple for life by the same means.
" All this was explained to me by a party of sis or eighj, who accompanied me to my room—which was in a building belonging to the college, and rented by apartments to such of the students as preferred bachelor'a hall to regular boarding; .ind they took care to add several terrifying stories of ghosts and hobgoblins, byway of calming my excited nerves, but as I have before observed old women stand around a weak feverish paiient, and croak out their experience in seeiug aw¬ ful sufferings and fatal terminations of just snch maladies as the one wiih which tbeir helpless victim was then afflicted.
"'Is it expected that I should go alone?' I inquired, in a tone that trembled in spite of me, while my knees almost knocked to¬ gether, and J felt as if my very lips were white.
"Well, no," replied Benson, my most dreaded tomienter ; "it would be hardly fair to send yon alono, for one individual could not succeed in getting the body from the grave quick enongh; and yon, a mere youth withont experience, would be sure to faU al¬ together. No, we will go With you, some three or four of us, and help you to dig up the corpse; but then you must take u on your back, bring it up to your room here and spend the night alone with it!"
"It was some relief to me to find I was to have company during the first part of my awful undertaking; but still I felt far from agreeable, I assure you; and chancing to look into a mirror, aa the time drew near for setting out, I fairly started at beholding the ghastly objeot I aaw reflected therein."
" Come boys," said Benson, who waa al¬ ways, by general consent, the leader of what¬ ever frolic, espeditioD, or undertaking he was to have a hand in—" Come, boys, it Is time to be on the move. A glorious night for ua I" he added, throwing up the window, and Ut- tinginaflerce guat of ^rindand rain: "the d—4-himself would hardly yenture out in lUOli&BtDmir*
"He lit a dark lantern, then threw on his long, heavy cloak, took up a spade, and led the way down stairs; and the rest of ua, three besides my tlmffi. self, threw on our cloaks also, took each a spade, and followed him."
"We took a roundabout course, to avoid being seen hy any citizen that might chance to be stirring, and in something lesa thau half an bour we reached the Cemetery, scaled the wall without difflculty, and stealthily search¬ ed for the grave, till we found it, inthe pitohy darkness—the wind and rain sweeping past us with dismal bowls and moans, that to me, trembling with terror, seemed to be the unearthly wailings of the spirits of the damned.
"Here we are," whispered Benson to me, as we at length stopped at a mound of fresh earth, over whioh one of the party had stum¬ bled. "Come, feel round, Morria, and atrike in your spade, and let us see if we will make a good hand at exhuming a dead body as you will some day at killing a Uving one with physic."
"I did as directed, trembling in every limb; but the flrst spade full I threw up, I started back" with a yell of horror, that, on any oth¬ er but a howling, stormy night would bave betrayed us. It appeared to me as if I had thrust my spade into a buried lake of flre— for tbe first dirt was all aglow like living coals ; and as I had fancied the moaning of the storm the wailings of tormented spirits, I now fancied I had uncovered a small por¬ tion of the Bottomless Pit itself.
" Fool I" liissed Benson, grasping my arm with the gripe of a vice, as I stood leaning on my spade for support,'my very teeth chatter¬ ing uith terror ; " another yell like that, and rU make a subject of yon !—Are you not ashamed of yourself, to be scared out of your wits, if you ever had any, by a little phos- pherescent earth'.' Don't you know that it is often found in graveyards ?"
" His explanation re-assured me, though I was too weak, from my late fright, to be of any assistance to the party, who all fell to with a will, secretly laughing at me, and soon reached the coffin. Splitting the lid with a hatchet, which had been bronght for the purpose, they quickly lifted out the corpse and then Benson and another of the party taking hold of it, one at the head and the other at the feet, they hurried it away, bid¬ ding me follow, and leaving the others to fill up the grave, that it might not be sus¬ pected tbat the body had beeu exhumed.
" Having got the corpse safely over tbe walls of the cemetery, Benson now called upon mo to perform my part of the horrible bnsiness.
"Hero you quaking simpleton," he said, "I want you to take this on your back, and make the bast of your way to your room and remain alone with it all night. If you do this bravely, we will claim you as one of us to-morrow; and the first man that dares to say a word against your courage after that, shall find a foe in me. But bark you 1 if yoa make any blunder on the way, and lose our prize, it will be better for you to qnit tbis place before I set my eyes on you again.    Do you understand me ?"
" Y-ye-ye-yesT' 1 stammered, with chat¬ tering teeth.
"Are you ready ?" " Y-ye-ye-yes," I gasped. " Well, come here, where are you ?" " All this time it was so dark that I could not see anything bnt a faint line of whltei which I knew to be the shroud of the corpse ; but I felt carefully round till I got hold o f Benson, who told me to take off my cloak ; and then rearing the cold dead  body up against my bat-k, he began fixing   its cold arms about my neck—bidding me take hold of them, and draw them well over, and keep them concealed, and be snre and not let  eo 01 them, on any consideration whatever,   as I valued my life.
" Ah! the torturing horror I experienced^ as I mechanically followed his directions !— Tongue could not describe it 1
" At length, having adjusted the corpse so that I might bear it off with comparative ease, he threw my long black cloak over it and over my arms, and fastened it with a cord about my neck, and then inquired :
" Now Morris do you think you can find the way to your room ?"
" I-I-do-do-don't know," I gasped, feeling as if I should sink to the earth at the first step.
. " WeU, you cannot lose your way if you go straight ahead," he repHed. "Keep in the middle of the road and it will take you to College Green, and then you are all right. Come, push on, before yonr burden grows too heavy; the distance is only a good half mile 1"
" I set forward, with trembling nerves, ex¬ pecting to sink to the ground at every atep ; but gradually my terror, instead of weaken¬ ing, gave me strength ; and I was soon on the run—splashing through mud and water ¦—with the storm howling ahout me to fury, and the cold corpse, as I fancied, clinging to me like a hideous vampire.
"How I reached my room, I do not know —but probably by a sort of instinct; for I only remember of my brain being in a wild feverish whirl, with ghostly phantoms al about me, as one sometimes sees them in a dyspeptic dream.
" But reach my room I did, with my dead burden on my back; and I was afterwards told that I made wonderfnl time ; for Benson and his fellow student, fearing the loss of their subject—wbich on acconnt of the diffi¬ culty of getting bodies, was very valuable— followed close behind me, and were obliged to run at the top of their speed to keep me within hailing distance.
"The flrst I remember distinctly, after get¬ ting to my room, waa the finding myself awake in bed, with a dim consciousness of something horrible having happened—though what, for some minutes, I could not for th^ life of me recollect. Gradnally, however, the truth dawned upon me ; and then 1 felt a cold per.^piration atait from every pore, at the thought that perhaps I was occupying a room alone with a corpse. The room was not dark ; there were a few embers in the grate which threw out a ruddy light ; and fearfully raising my head, I glanced qnickly and timidly arouud.
"And there—tbero on the floor, against the right hund wall, but a few feet from me— there, sure enough, lay the cold atUl corpse robed in its white shroud, with a gleam of firelight resting upon its ghastlv face, which to my e,\'cited fancy seemed to move. Did it move ? I was gazing npon it, thrilled and fascinated with an undescribable terror, when as sura as 1 see you now, I saw the lids of its eyes undone, and saw its breast heave, and heard a low stifled moan.
"Great God!" I .shrieked, and fell back into a swoon.
" How long I lay unconscioua I do not know, but when I came to myself again, it is a mar¬ vel to me that, in my excited state, I did not lose my senses altogether, and become tbe tenant of a mad house; for there— right be¬ fore me—standing up in its white shroud— with its eyes wide open and staring upon me aud ita features thin, hoUow, and death- hued—Was the corpse I had brought from the cemetery.
"In God's name, avaunt I" I gasped. " Go back to your grave, and reat in peace! I WiU never disturb you again."
"The large, hollow eyes looked moro wild¬ ly upon me—the bead moved-the lips part- ^omewhat sepulchral

"I aprung to the door, tore it open, and shouted for help.
"QuickI quick!" cried I; "the dead is alive!—the dead is alive I"
"Several of the students, sleeping iu ad¬ joining rooms came hurrying to mine, thinking I had gone nad with terror, as some of them bad heard toy voice before, and all knew to what a fearfil ordeal I had been subjected.
"Poor fellBw!" exclaimed one, in a tone of aympatby; "I predicted this,"
"It is too bad," aaid another; " It was too much for hb nervous aystem."
" I am no", mad," comprehending tbeir sus¬ picions ; "fcut the corpse ia alive I hasten and see!"
"They hurried into the room, one after another; and the foremost stooping down to what he stnposed was a corpse, put his hand npon it ani instantly exclaimed :

"Wbat became of her, Doctor ?"

"Andthat is exactly what sbe did I" re¬ joined tbe Doctor.

THE ATTTTTMB" AHD ITS 3ffEM0BIES.
A solemn fellow is this Autumn, with whom we now have to do. Summer, who has just heen among ns, is a fickle maiden, who smiles and weeps by turns: she dresses in all the gayest attire—she adorns her garments with the sweetest flowers, and arrays herself in all the paraphernalia of fashion, hoops included. Beneath ber magic touch all beautiful things spring into Ufe ; bnt she often coys with the sleep-god, who perfers her to any mortal, and leaves ns, poor children of earth, to toss in provoking inquietude and flght musquitoes • Such is the damsel who has just left us ; and now the cool Autumn steps in with a majes¬ tic beanng. We feel his manly presence in the refreshing air, the chill of dawn, the tem¬ pered sunshine, and the delicious sleep we experience ; for he puts a step to all the flir¬ tations of Morpheus, and leaves him to attend to his legitimate duties. Yes, we know the Autum:i by the strength with which he invi¬ gorates us, not less tban by his gracious in¬ fluence upon our linen j for, behold I our collars just flaccid and languishing, now again stand erect. Starch can perform its uses, and the heartless perspiration no long¬ er drenshes our under garments,
Bnt tbis Autumn, though a very pleasant and agreeable gentleman jnst now, will cut some sorry pranks before he is done with us. Behold how he invades our  gardens, where onr choicest fruits and flowers bave gladden¬ ed our eyes I see how he reaches up to the tall branches of tbe forest, and plucking their leaves with his long flngers, scatters them to the  four  winds  of heaven!    See how   the green grass pales in his footsteps !    He grows stern and frowning as he grows  old—he is cross and acrimonious in his latter days ; as if displeased with his reign, he would avenge himself npon his unfortunate subjects.    We sball Lear from the old fellow before he dies, you can depend upon it! he will speak in a voice tbat wiU moan through your lattice¬ work and rattle your windows, and chill you again and again!    He will weep over his de¬ caying fortunes, and  his  tears   wiU drench our fields  and roads, and the streets of the great cities ; be wiU speak in dismal accents, and bis frown shall bide the Ught of heaven. and we shall  button our overcoats in his chiUing presence, before he is done  with us. Bat many are the deligbtfnl memories tbat come with the returning visit of the Autumn. Aroid tbe  noise and bustle of the crowded streets, the mind wanders back to the scenes of early times.   The friends of childhood— the cherished forma  and faces of the days gone by, come  fioating around  ns in  the dreamy remembrances these cool days awak¬ en.    Some of them, alsa! are no more of earth —their voices are hushed forever; the light •f their eyes went out in life's young years, and we shall see them uo more, till the glad spring-time of immortality, of which the good heart and true feels the hallowed inspirations long before  it passes the dark portals  of death.
The Autumn—how it carries us back to tbe ripened com—tbe stubble-covered fielda, and the meadows with beauty faded. It will indeed be a long time before we shaU forget them. And long shaU we remember the pleasures of those times—the parties, the apple-bees, and the huskings
We wiU relate an incident of a long-ago Autumn. It sball have a catastrophe not uncommon to stories, and by no means un¬ known to tbe drama.
We remember old Deacon Smith, and we wiah you could all have so pleasnt a memo, ry. He Ueved on the hill near onr eariy bome, in a stately stone house, well befitting hia solid character. The deacon would not have been at home in a wooden dwelling—a structure so frail would not have e^ressed the substantial manner in which he did every thing—for a piece of unfinished husiness never oame from his hands—it was aU done and wonld last. A stem countenance bad Deacon Smith; and yet there was a world of generoua and manly feeling and Christain ohuity In Mb honest heart.   The poor' ooold
never passed witbont a numher of invita¬ tions to all of ns iu the vicinity, to meet at his stately habitation. Gladly did we an¬ swer his summons ; and these occasions were looked npon as the climax of our pleaaant hopes. Sometimes the occasion was a party, sometimes an apple-bee, aud sometimes a husking. At these latter, the young men were expected to husk com an hour or more in the bam, and then adjourn to the house, where bright eyes and well-served tables awaited them, and generally (you muat er- ouse the pious Deacon's apparent inconsis¬ tency, for it caused him a world of trouble with bis pastor) the old fiddler of Woodside was in attendance, with his rosined bow and dry jokes.
In JUr neighborhood lived a widow witb a daughter, her only child. The rude dwelling and the few acres of rough land, whicb her husband left at his death, with the toU of her industrious handa, were her only means of support. Yet she met her misfortunes in a brave, true spirit, and bestowed inflnite care upon her child, who grew up with a re¬ finement and beauty rare indeed in the vi- vinity of Woodside.
One evening io those days, we had alt been invited to the good Deacon's to a husking. We had done all the work supposed to be re¬ quired in the bara, and had adjourned to the joyful entertainment in tbe house. Upon tbis occasion there was a young man named Stanley with us, a noble, generous fellow from the viUage, who Hometimes visited the Deacon, and bad now come to participate in our rude sports.. But we were many of us disappointed in not seeing Ella, tbe widow's daughter. She was the light of our circle, and we all felt tbat we could ill afford to spare her even for once. But the merry pro¬ ceedings soon made us forget her absence; and we were in tbe height of our enjoyment, when the door was suddenly opened, and the widow entered with a pale countenance, agi¬ tated in every feature. We all paused in¬ stantly to leam the cause. It waa explained in a few simple words.
"I sent Ella to the post-office tbis moraing, and sbe has not re turned. I have been through the woods calling her, but she did not answer. I fear sho is lost, or has been seized with sud¬ den illness, .and is left alone to die, or that some terrible evil has befallen her."
Warm aud sympathizing hearts throbbed beneath the rude garments of that assembly and tbere was a chain of feeling linking us all to a single purpose, and that wa4 to com¬ mence the search instantly, and continue it till tbe painfnl mystery was solved-
" Sbe bas lost her way," said tbe good Dea¬ con, to whom we all instinctively looked for counsel. " There are many paths at the otber side of the woods ; she took a wrong one and got bewildered. Let us all go at ouce and search till we find her. Give yourself no uneasineris, Mr.s. King; but stay hero till we bring her to you," said he, addressing the excited mother. But she wonld not listen to him, ;iud joined the party.
The Deacon directed us to separate, and go through the woods within hailing distanoe. In tbia wav we could take in a wide ranp;e at each journey through the forest. We pro¬ ceeded, calling "Ella;" but we found our¬ selves upon the other side with no response. The moonless nigbt, the deep woods, the an¬ guish of the mother, our own sympathy and forebodings, made it an hour of awful and intense interest. Having passed the woods without finding her, we formed again and re¬ tumed over a now section with the same re¬ ault. We again formed, and the waning moon now came up, throwing a dim ligbt upon tbo scene and making onr task more eaay. But we again passed the woods with no response fromthe object of our search. "Form again," aaid the Deacon; but we needed not tbe word of command—our sorrow gave strength, and we had no thought but to search tUl Ella was found. The mother, now almost frantic witb despair, urged ua on. You must all kndw it was a time of intense feeling.
As we were tbia time returning through tbe woods, we beard the stentorian voice of Stanly calling out, " She is found! " and tbe joyous cry "She is found! " rang throngh the old woods, as each one took it up and shout¬ ed the glad tidings to his neighbor in tbe search. The Deacon had sunniged the trae canse of Ella's absence. She took the wrong path, and had wandered a long way, wUhont knowing whither she went. Night overtook her, and bewildered and overcome witb fear, her strength failed, and sinking upon the leafy earth, she fell asleep. Stanley's atrong voice aroused her, and be it was who brought her to her grateful and weeping mother.
The Deacon insisted that tbe entire party should go to his house, and the dim ligbt of the dawn was awakening upon tbe hill-tops, when we entere 1 it. The old fiddler thought a lively tune and a jig would be a fit cele¬ bration of the rescue ; but tbe honest Dea¬ con bad graver thoughts: " Pnt up your fid¬ dle," said he, '* this is a time for thanksgiv¬ ing to our heavenly Father. Let us thank him that in Hia good providence the lost is found;" and faUing upon hia knees, he pour¬ ed out a prayer of earnest and heartfelt thanksgiving.
Bnt I promiiied you a dramatic finale to this reminiscence of Autumn; and it oame about iu this wiae. The generoua yonng Stanley was captivated with Ella; and though many of ua wished ourselves as fortunate as be, we all thought it right when they were married a few years after; and we have look¬ ed with satisfaction upon the happy yeara that blessed their after life.
