They are the shades of those who have died natural deaths, and have been decently buried. " They go to their proper country, and renew their earthly employments. As the North American Indian, with his dog and bow, seeks food in the beautiful hunting-ground of the world of the departed, so the Karen, with his axe and cleaver, may build his house, cut his rice, and conduct...

Again, " Anciently, when the earth was deluged with water, two brothers, finding themselves in a difficulty, got on a raft. The waters rose and rose, till they reached to heaven ; when seeing a mango-tree hanging down, the younger brother climbed up it and ate ; but the waters suddenly falling, left him in the tree.
Seite 411 - Thus it was; and we comprehended with our knowledge the forces which were with him. And he prosecuted his journey from south to north, until he came between the two mountains ; beneath which he found certain people who could scarce understand what was said.
