CHINESE GHnST SEFRa- "To n Chinese, evnrv
eracc around, above and heneath him is crowded
~ith ghosts, hohgoblina end spirits nf every char
actcr and sort, good, bad and Indifferent. He
believes these invisible beings are capable of
heStowing good npOn him, of effecting delveran-
crs in his behalf Of overwhelming him and his
family with dire calamitips A Chinese, therefore,
is a mortal of the most craseless superstitinns,
and lives, literally all his lifetime under bondage
Of the most painful dread and fear, and trepida-
lion.
HIS position is most pitiahle one, for he never
can reach point of reace and security, inasmuch
as after he has conciliated any number of the
ghosts, and gained their friendship and good will,
there are still hosts of Others filing the air all
around him, whose power and malice may he at
any time brought down upon him from neglect
or other canses. SwaTms of hungry ghosts there
are, too, who wander about from realm TO realm,
having no one in particular among the living to
care for or feed them. To meet the necessities
OF this state Of things, therefore, great public
feast is held in the seventh month of each year,
got up by subscription for the purpose of propi-
tating and feeding these hungry ghosts And
there is another thing in which the Chinese Spir-
iualiss are far ahead of their American brethren,
and that is in having real weddings among their
tsprits. You will sometimes see a marriage
procession pass along the streets, and instead of
the handsomely decorated sedan chair being
occupied by the living bride, only her spirit is
within it, and all the usual nuptial ceremonies
are solemnized, and the spirits duly united in
NEsrriage. This truly singular custom is observed
~ behalf of young people who had been engaged
while living, but both died before the marriage
ceremony was consummated.- baptist Circular.
