ings preceding the act when,
coffined, cribbed, confined, my re.
mains, so-called, were committed to
the tomb of the d'Orsay. OF q sud-
den, when writhing in pain, holy
calm set in. I awoke, as it were,
to find myself a spirit, an inhabitant
of aery space. On noting the time,
for we spirits calculate time as NOR
tails do, by the setting of the sun, I
found that my last experiences were
already six weeks old. The inter-
walls had passed unperceived.
discovered I possessed form
resembling my earthly self, but re-
fined and glorifed, and, as might
be expected incorporeal; while from
the spot that in an ordinary being
would be known as the shoulder
blades. had grown q pair OF mag
nificent diaphanous wings. With
these I found I could, with only 20
much SxextionsansWns plsasaEAbss,
ascend or decend at will; or that ex-
panding them I could sail, hawk
like, horizontally as I might list,
with no effort whatever. The cur
rents of air that aid and trouble
mankind have no existence for Us.
I say for US, because this new
world was peopled. If numerously
inhabited, there was room enough
for all. The space above seas and
barren mountains was as suitable
for our existence as that above the
gardens of the earth. And although
it was our delight to hover where
people most do congregate, it is
easily demonstrable that in world
that knows nothing OF u surface, that
has comparatively no confines, either
in height or depth, dozen gener-
atoms Of the human race could ex-
ist without crowding.
But I discovered very soon that
the possibility of this earliest after
world (if so it may be called) need
not be contemplated. Cecil Amber
girls, who was drowned some twelve
months before I died, was the first of
my old acquaintances that fell in
with in this new sphere, and he ut
once briefly told me much of what
I was soon to learn by inquiry and
experience. While one single being
toward whom love is felt yet remains
on earth, we spirits make the terres-
trial atmosphere our home. But
when the last loved one is no longer
human. it is time to wing . fight to
another world. Whittier, no one
knows. This also has bourne from
which no traveller returns. The
