ANECDOTE OF PROFESSOR JUNKER OF THE UNI- VERSITY OF HIALLE.
Many, who were personally acquainted with this celebrated character, have frequently heard bim relate the following anecdote:
Being professor of anatomy, he once procn- red, for dissection, the bodies of two criminals who had been hanged. The key of the dissect- ing-room not being immediately at hand when they were carried home to him, he ordered them to be laid down in a closet whichi opened into his own apartment. The evening came, and Junker, according to his custom, proceeded to resume his literary labours before he retired to rest. It was now near midnight, and all his fam- ily were fast asleep, when he heard a rumbling noise in bis closet. Thinking that, by some mis- take, the cat had been shut up with the dead
bodies, he rose, and, taking the candle, went to see what had happened. But what must have been his astonishment, or rather his panic, on perceiving that the sack which contained the two bodies was rent through the middle! He approached, and found that one of them was gone.
The doors and windows were well secured, and he thought it impossible the body could have been stolen. He tremblingly looked round the closet, and observed the dead man seated in a corner.
Junker stood for a moment motionless; the dead man seemed to look towards him, he mo- ved both to the right and left, but the dead man, still kept his eyes upon him.
The professor then retired, step by step, with his eye still fixed upon the object of his alarm,

A figure of so hideous an ap- pearance. naked, and in motion-the lateness of the hour-the deep silence which prevailed -every thing concurred to overwhelm him with confusion. He let fall the only candle which he had burning, and all was darkness. He made his escape to his bed-chamber, and threw him- self on the bed, thither, however, he was pur- sued : and he soon felt the dead man embracing his legs, and loudly sobbing.
Repeated cries of " leave me! leave me!" re- leased Junker from the grasp of the dead man. who now exclaimed, " Ah! good executioner! good executioner! have mercy upon me!"
Junker soon perceived the cause of what had happened, and resumed his fortitude. He in- formed the reanimated sufferer who he really was, and made a motion in order to call up some
of the family " You wish then to destroy me!" exclaimed the criminal. " If you call any one, my adventure will become public, and I shall be taken up and executed a second time. In the name of humanity, I implore you to save my life."
The physician struck a light, decorated his guest with an old night gown, and, having made him drink off a cordial, requested to know what had brought him to the gibbet. " It would have been a truly singular exhibition," obser- ved Junker, " to have seen me, at that, late hour, engaged in a tétc-à-téte with a dead man, decked out in a night. gown."
The poor wretch informed him that he had enlisted as a soldier; but that, having no great attachment to the profession, he had determi- ved to desert; that he had unfortunately entrus- ted his secret to a kind of crimp, a fellew of no principle, who recommended him to a woman

in whose house he was to remain concealed; that this woman had discovered his retreat to the officers of Police, &c.
Junker was extremely perplexed how to save the poor man. It was impossible to retain him in his own house, and keep the affair a secret, and to turn him out of doors was to expose him to certain destruction. He resolved to conduct him out of the city, in order that he might get into a foreign jurisdiction; but it was necessary to pass the gates, which were strictly guarded. To accomplish this point, he dressed the man in some of his old clothes, and covered him with a cloak, and, at an early hour, set out for the country with his protege behind him. On
arriving at the city gate, where he was well known, he said in a hurried tone, that he had been sent for to visit a sick person who was dy- ing in the suburbs. He was permitted to pass. Hlaving both got into the open fields. the deser- ter threw himself at the feet of his deliverer, to whom he vowed eternal gratitude; and, after receiving some pecuniary assistance, departed, offering up prayers for his happiness.
Twelve years after, Junker having occasion to go to Amsterdam, was accosted on the Ex- change by a man well dressed and of the best appearance, who, he had been informed, was one of the most respectable merchants in that city. The merchant, in a polite tone, inquired

whether he was not professor Junker, of Halle; and on being answered in the affirmative, he requested, in an earnest manner, his company to dinner. The professor consented. Having reached the merchant's house, he was showu in- to an elegant apartment, where he found a beautiful wife, and two healthy children: but he could scarce suppress his astonishment at meeting so cordial a reception from a family with whom, he thought, he was entirely unac- quainted.
After dinner, the merchant, taking him into his counting-room. said, " You do not recollect me?" -- " Not at all."-" But I well recollect you, and never shall your features be effaced from my remembrance. You are my benefac- tor. I am the man who came to life in your clo- set, and to whom you paid so much attention. On parting from you, I took the road to Hol- land. I wrote a good hand, was tolerably expert at accounts; my figure was somewhat interest- ing, and I soon obtained employment as a mer chant's elerk. My good conduct, and my zeal
for the interests of my patron, procured me his confidence aud his daughter's love. On his re- tiring from business, I succeeded him, and be- came his son-in-law. But for you, bowever, f should not have lived to experience all these enjoyments .- Henceforth look upon my house, my fortune, and myself, as at your disposal."
Those who possess the smallest portion of sensibility can easily represent to themselves the feelings of Junker.
