AFRICAN SPiRiTUALlSTS.
A Strange Belief Existing In the Western
Part of the Dark Continent.

BY all the tribes of these three lingual
groups>the indwelling spirit is believed
to afford some protection to man. 1t
receives occasional thank-offerings, and
the anniversary of each individuals
day of birth is held as dav sacred to
the spiritual tenant. On this account
the kra may be regarded in some re-
spects as a guardian spirit, dwelling in
the body OF the man; but 1t is more
than that Its close connection with
the man himself is indicated by the fact
of its nocturnal adventures during its
absence from the body being remem-
bered by the man when he awakes.
The latter even feels physically the eff
fects OF his bTd's actions; and when the
negro awakes from sleep feeling stiff
and unrefreshed, or with limbs aching
from muscular rheumatism, he in
variably attributes these symptoms 30
the fact of his krd having been engaged
in some struggle or some severe toll.
II, moreover. a man dreams of other
men, he believes that his kra has met
theirs; consequently, the krd is held to
have the outward appearance of the
man whose body he tenants. Hence the
&ra is more than a mere tenanting o.
guardian spirit He has, though doubt
less only in a shadowy form, the very
shape and appearance of the man; and
both the mind and body of the latter
are affected by and register the result
of the kra's actions. Major A. B. Ellis

Superstition of the Red Mouse.

According to Grimm it is the devils

runs in the shape of a red mouse. Thus
we are told that in Thuringia servant

were Smelling nuts, when they observed
a little red mouse creep out OF her part
ed lips and run out of the window. One
of those present shook the sleeper, but
not succeeding in awakening her, moved
her TO another room. Presently the
mouse returned to where the girl had
been sitting. but not finding her
vanished. The girl died instantly. A
miller cutting frewood in the Black
Forest fell asleep over his work. His
companion saw mouse creep out OF
his mouth and run away. Others were
called and a thorough search made for
the mouse, but it could not be found

years, and apparently sane on other
points, for the address of maker of
divining rods, or of the possessor of
one, or, failing these, for description
of the method of manufacture He
gravely informs us that his brother
possesses one, but will not let him
have the use of it, wishing for him
self the job in prospect, namely, hunt
ing for gold in Canada. We are also
informed that if the body of mineral
be large it will affect the rod from a
great distance; that the operation is
fatiguing, by reason of the sensation
communicated to the arm when there
is much mineral about; and finally,
that the rod will not work in every
ones hands. The last proposition, be-
ing the one solitary statement in which
the innumerable authorities on the
subject agree, may be safely believed
to contain at least a partial truth

And watched his angle on the tide
With thoughtful, patient eye.

And thence-her garb in damp hung plaits- .
The river spirit starts
She sang to him. she spoke to him:
"Whatl wouldst thou SO illude
With human skill and cunning grim
Ny harmless finny brood?
Ali couldst thou see how well it is
With them so cool below,
Down wouldst thou come to share their bliss
And Joys real meaning know
'oThe sun and moon both end their race
Within the seas calm deeps;
And how In time with fairer face,
Each from its cavern leaps.
Draws not thy heart the CLASSY stream
Its clear blue mirrored sky
And wouldst thou not here like to dream
While worlds and ages dieI"

The waves his feet caressed-
He feels as though new won bride
Lay on his longing breast.
She sang to him, she spoke to him,
His form passed from the shore,
BE sank beneath the river grim,
And came to life no more
He never had chance TO tell
OF that eventful day;
OF all the mighty FISH he caught,
OF those that got away
But, if such were each fishers fate,
How much of fancy's range
Mankind would lose in wondrous tales
Both picturesque and strange.
