By what means the subjoined reached
uie is a matter of no consequence. It re
lates to commonplace experiences which
are not often elaborated, and which are
possibly curious enough to warrant pub
lication. As to the existence of astral bodies there
is unquestionably a general unbelief.
Still, there are thousands of men nnd
women of high culture and intelligence
who are linn in the faith that each human
life is comixjsed of at least two entities,
the physical Imily and an astral body,
which is semi-physical and semi-spiritual,
and which is'very like the ordinary
frame of IIchIi blood, nerve, miisclennd
tissue anil which differs from the other
in heinir more attenuated in fiber. It is
an etherealized quality, with human ele
ments and the capability, at tunes, 01
separation from the corporeal frame and
an independent existence. At death it
dues not lose its mtlividiinlity, ana con
tinues to live either for an indefinite
period or, possibly, forever.
It is in the nature of a vitalized sentient
shadow of the body, and yet with aspecies
of tangibility that permits it, under cer
tain favorable conditions, to become per
ceptible to, and hold converse with, some
in the tiesli. Bucn are uie oencis in re
gard to this double of the human being
that are held by someof the most eminent
thinkers of the day.
I who write this am the astral body of
a man who lies deatl before rae. As bis
double, although 1 am living, I am, In a
sense, also the dead man, and us if 1
were he, I shall speak.
The gradual approach of dissolution,
the illness, the physical, mental, moral
and emotion.'-.l disturbances which pre
cede and accompany it, are rarely re
lated with exactness. What is often
presented as characteristic of the mori
bund is a perversion of tho facts.
My life, including its course anfl eat
ins:, was not especially remarkable. 1
was of robust youth; w as religiously ed
ticiiled in the straightest fashion; had a
fair education In the schools and busi
ness, and pursued an occupation which
without overexertion furnished 1110 with
a moderate competence. 1 enjoyed, as
a rule, superb health, and also enjoyed
ail almost total exemption from injuries.
Life thus passed equably nnd unevent
fully until 1 had reached a hall century.
It was at this period thai slight ripples
beuaii to disturb the level of tho hitherto
pacitic surface of the sea of life. Sleep,
always undisturbed and refreshing, be
gan to lie broken. Always had I fallen
asleep when iny head touched the pillow
and tho rest would last for hours without
interruption. Now it would be hours
before I would drop into a fitful and
restless slumber, which would be haunt
ed by frightful visionsof demoniac forms,
bottomless chasms and towering heights.
adown which 1 was hurled like Lucifer
from the battlements of heaven.
My splendid appetite began to fail; my
disposition for physical ana mental ex
ertion lessened; my average good nature
became tainted; my nerves, always
sheathed In Impenetrable defenses, be
came bared, as age wears the enamel
from a tooth, leavlug its tender libers
exposed to incessant and painful contact.
Irritation took the place ot tlie ordinary
endurance of my nature Strange and
violent pains at times Beized me with
eroeity.
All these changes did not come 111 a
month, or a year, or in five years. 1 hey
were almost imperceptible in their ap
proach. It was a half score of years be
fore all lliese changes lorcetl themselves
on mv attention, anil 1 uiscovereo tnav 1
tad grown thin and was losing my
strength.
Well meaning friends contributed to
the hasti'iiiug of my awakening from the
unconsciousness of failing health.
What in the world ails you? Have you
hei'ii sick? '
So, I never felt better in iny life, I
would reply, at the time a chill shudder
ing along my nerves as their remarks
forced themselves on me as adeadly por
tent. "What makes you think 1 aiu not
looking well?"
"Oh. you're so thin and pale. You
want to see a doctor."
Another effusive acquaintance: "Why,
old boy. you're getting old. Anything
tho matter with you?"
Then 1 suddenly began to notice the
deaths among my acquaintances. It
came to tue with the suddenness and
pang of a dagger thrust that So and So,
who were younger than 1, were dead 1
glanced itlmut among the people I knew,
searching for those wuo were my cnutus
and companions ten and twenty years
before, and 1 discovered with a throo or
pain that only here and there one re
named.
I began . unconsciously taking an ab
sorbing interest in the death notices.
Youncer than II was the sinking com
ment when such was the fact, and for a
moment I came to the verge of hating
those who had thus set an example of
death at their age. When the decease
of the octogenarian and those who cliniD
ed to the very summits of the century
wa announced. 1 warmed to their mem
ories as those who afforded examples of
the canacitv of men for long hie.
1 grew weaker in health anu ueruoreu-
ized in temperament. The slightest oo-
tacle ruffled me, 1 fell into despondent
moods, and lost mv tasto for society.
amusement, labor and study. The ine
vitable burdens of life became unendur
able and 1 lost all ambition. The once
populous future changed into a waste In
vhich there was nothing save gray anu-
tv and a lowering sky.
Meanwhile, so far as I know, I was
possessed at that period of uo malady,
and yet my fancy supplied scores of dis
eases. I felt the languor and waste of
consumption, knew absolutely that I was
affected by organic hearl dimi iiiiy. anu
at times felt the premonitory gnawinge
of a cancer, the insidious Bymploms of
Bright's deadly disease and the warnings
of paralysis In this labyrinth of imag
inary evils I wandered constantly and
suffered as poignantly as if they had lieen
real.
1 consulted medical men, who exam
ined mo and found nothing "a low
nervous tone: a little tonic, less work and
a rest No organic trouble; some little
functional disturbance of no conse
quence." At times, after awhile, clouds,
as it were, drifted over the sky of my
brain and Bhrouded everything in a mist.
I could not always think witli clearness
I now antl then lost cohesion in thought,
my memory occasionally was impaired,
and 1 would forget names, dates and
faces. I apprehended softening of the
brain.
It was at this period lhat night became
a gloomy and dreaded inferno with in
finite tortureB. Sleep was in brief
snatches, disturbed by atrocious visions.
I swung over tlie brows of heaven high
precipices'. I was chased through caverns
of hideous night by monsters, and con
stantly awoke shivering and sometimes
screaming with affright and bathed in
perspiration.
The waking period between tho mo
ments of sleep were more intolerable
after a time than the nightmare of slum
ber. Thev were the arenas of retrospec
tion in which memory and conscience
foucht unceasing battles. A blow that
I had given a baby brother; a (lying
cripple in the playground whom I had
kicked in a moment of rage; the re
proachful, gentle blue eyes of a dying
dove, that 1 had wantonly shot in a
grove one glorious June afternoon; mean
nesses that 1 had lieen guilty 01, even to
the most minute details: neglected oppor
tunities, misdirected aelion all these on
such occasions gathered about me ana
broke the solemn stillness of the nighl
with clamorous upbruidings.
After a time the most terrible phan
tom, the most pertinacious monster of
them all, made its appearance, and hov
ered leering at me in the somber night
It was the suggestion of death. "Vor
must die!" it said and Hew away.
"Well, what of it? Tens of billions
have died, and everybody living must
also die. There's young lllank, with all
his youth and wealth, he is sure to die
somedav, and so has the boaiiiil'ul Miss
Fleurette and the newly married couple,
the Jeunesses ail of them; not one of
them will bo spared! Suppose I must?
They'll till follow along sooner or later."
And yet these reflections that every
6on and daughter of man must undergo
the same fate gave me 110 consolation. !

I wanted to live just to live, only to
live! It may be that 1 was not more of
a coward than the majority of htimai.
beings when they lii'sl begin to contem
plate the approach of the great butcher.
Kor months and months I fought his up
pearance; I felt for myself a great com
miseration, an acute sorrow that I was
obliged to die. It wasonly when I found
him close enough to 1 eel the urea 111 or
bis nostrils that 1 ceased to fear him.
Early, orthodox, religious training
made "itself felt potentially, and there
were moments when the child taught
idea of an "angry God frothing with
nine." and an ocean of flame rolling on
forover its sulphurous billows, with its
shrieking and damned souls, tilled me
with indescribable terror and apprehen
sion. Again, the suggestion of annihila
tion would possets me with its awful
menace. To ue olilileraieu, to ue separ
ated forever from friends whom 1 loved,
was even more terrifying than the an
ticipation of eternal torture.
In time the inspection of these various
horrors dulled their hideous intensity,
as tho victim on the wheel is said to bo
come insensible to pain after tho first
few blows. A species of numbness, a
lethargy permeated me. The subject
grew wearisome. 1 said:

In time all these phantasms, visions,
doubts and apprehensions disappeared
Then a profound peace took possessior
of mv soul. It was not the pacitic re
pose of hope, but the relief which came
from the disappearance of tho black
