deposited; it gave the whole town an odor OF
death. I must now explain the philosophy Of

it is beloved that the body contains ghost OF
spirit, or soul which lives after death. Some be-
llnve that this ghost or soul inhabits the grave
and fits around its neighborhood, and comes to
it, old homo aud frequents tho company OF those
whom 1t formerly loved. With eavages OF I
higher type it is believed that the souls lire in

tho ground, though some place it above the
sky. One step moro aud We have tha
belief Of the Persiuns and some other
ancient nations, that there are two worlds out

one of pleasure for the good. Now, it il the be-
lief OF savaoes that lot only human bodies hare
