CUSTOM OF ANCIENT EGYPTIANS.

The Egyptians had a funeral tribunal, by which
the dead were tried, before they could be buried,
After death, every Egyptian was brought before
the tribunal, and if convicted of having in his lie
acted unwortiiiy, he was denied a place in the
burlel pIace of his aucs stors This was GREAT
disgrace to his family, and, according to the Egyp
tsn theology, it deprived the spirit Of the decessed
of an entrance irto heaven. One of the tbipgs
which caused tie infection Of this mark of dis
grace. was that Of dying in debt. IT, however.

A third volce-''l object to the burial, for he

A fourth voice-''l object to the burial, for he
made over his property to a friend. and then took
