yond the grave they were completely in
the dark. Some spirits they thought dl-
cd, some lived. Some said they live
and work in dark subtcrraneous abode,
and are eaten by the gods. Others be-
licvcd that, after death, human spirits be-
came aitus or inferior gods, and that the
splits of the chiefs went TO Pulotu, the
Elisum of some of the Polyncsians. They
say this is to the westward, but that is all
they know. Does not this opinion dimly
indicate the point of compass whence
they came?
From among their omcns, we select the
following: The matu'u, or stork, was one
of the Manono gods. If, when they were
proceeding to war, the matu'u flew before
them, as if leading them, if was token
of success; if in u contrary direction, it
was an i'll omen. A comet indicates q
hurricane, or some other serious calamity.
Soon after the last comet a dreadful storm
blew down all their trees and houses.
If the moon be dim, or Venus very
bright, the death of chief was bctokcn-
ed. The rainbow is sign of war and
bloodshcd.
The squcaking of rats is also an inlor-
tunate omen. SO, also, sneczing. On
hearing it they say, eff god, let live !;
if man, let die" If one sneezed on a
journey, they used to 60 no further that
day, thinking it unpropitious. 1t appears
from passage in Bishop Halls "Devout
Soul" that similar superstition formerly
prevailed in Europe.
MISCELLANEOUS CUsToMs AND OPINIONS.
A common method of eXecration, or
cursing, is to wish the party may be eaten
by some aitu (spirit) Another, that
their tongue may be baked.
At the birth of child the household
gods of the family, and other gods, were
earnestly invoked. The name of the one
last invoked, at the moment of birth, was
given to the child. Until the name was Civ
en-, the child was called ''thc cxcrcmcnt of
the gods" The navel string was placed on
a war club and cut, upon which the ope-
rator thus addressed the infant, ''Be thou
a brave warrior, mayest thou dance we'll"
This exactly indicates the two things in
which they chiefly delighted. The navel
string was then buried under that part Of
the house where they performed THEN
dances.
MARRIAGE. One method of courtshir
is for the young man to go and sleep and
eat nj the house of the young lady per-
haps several times, and, if a chief, accom-.
panied by train of attendants. If the
family show friendly feeling. and ca
with him, his addresses arc fayorably re-
cevcd. But the formal offer is made by
l sending a large present to the family of
the female. If accepted the match i
: made if refused the courtship is at al
end for it seldom happens that the par
ties themselves decide the matter. Th
parents or other relatives expect the youn|
Y folks to fall in with their schemes. TIL
I wives are, in fact, often purchased. Tn
malo party have also been in the habit o
g taking from the conquered such wives a
j they chose. Yet with all these disadvan
i tagcs many couple appear to live very hap
n PLY together, and many instances of yer
r strong attachment occur. Wives hav

The dance is accompanied by the beat
