OLD CUSTOMS RECALLED.
How the AuoIents Buried and 5IOurned 10
Their Dend.


How the AnoIents Buried and SIourned for
Their Dead.
DEAR FRIENDs-Awaiting your decision
regarding my moral fitness to again min
gle or not mingle with you as q lover of
true reform. and a member of your band,
l will say few words on subject which.
not wholly neglected, seems yet to stand
sadly in need OF necessary care and atten-
ton. The subject l desire TO touch upon
is that OF funeral ceremonies and mourn
ing for the dead.
Amongstthe ancients the prevailing idea
with respect to what constituted the soul
was OF course very different to what it is
with U.s. The Jews. as contra-distinguished
from the Romans and Greeks, believed
in the immortality OF what they consid-
cred the spiritual part OF man, and this
may partly account for the custom strik-
ingy manifested among them of embalm-
ing the body; while on the other hand the
pagan nations meantime considered burial
the most important partin the ceremony,
they thought that the soul of the unin-
tered was not admitted into the abode Of
the dead. Since the Jews believe death TO
be- an expiatory act. they are said to arise
upon hearing OF the death of Jew and
say, Blessed art thou. o Lord. king of the
universe, who art tho true judge" but tho
sight OF the funeral OF Gentle calls
forth, MAY the memory of the wicked
| perish" The Jews also have spe-
cies OF purgatory in their faith,
and among the Polish Jews a
doctrine OF TRANSPORTATION to a certain ex-
tent is said TO assert that the soul is per-
mitted to animate three human beings in
severality, ere its final goal is reached.
however this Is drifting. We read that
with the Jews, like with the Greeks and
Romans, the body was also sometimes
burnt, though this was not usual meth
od. In cases OF the more strict way OF
embalming-for the Jews had two
ways-the corpse was generally kept
in ointment for seventy DAYS.
After which II was washed and wrapped
in fine linen prepared with gum. Each
family generally owned a separate piece
OF grouL1-a vault hewn out of solid rock,
10 tho routh OF which large stone was
rolled after the body had been deposited.
Wealthy people often had the entrances OF
these vaults adorned with line carvings

That a very large potion

But think slight correction
In regard 10 infant industries should be made
That will keep out all obstruction

And lay their gilded titles in the shade.

How girls ache to wed title
You would want to put the tariff awful high,
And keep our pretty girlies
From among the dukes and earlies
And never let the English come a-nigh.

For her whom his love is all alame,
And then comes baby Lula,

That love is far moro precious than 4 name.
