Our people all believe that the spirit lIves m a future state that it has great distance to travel after death towards the west that it has to cross a dreadful, deep and rapid stream, which ishemmed

 in on both sides by high and rugged hills; over the stream, from hill to hill there lies long slippery pine log, with the bark peeled off. over which the dead have to pass to the delightful hunting grounds. On the other side of the stream there six per- sons of the good hunting grounds, with rocks in l their hands, which they throw at them all when they on the middle of the log. The good walk on safely to the good hunting grounds, where there is one continual day, where the trees are always green, where the sky has no clouds, where there are continual 6ne and cooling breezes, where there is one continual scene of feasling, dancing and re-

 jocing. where there is no pain trouble, and peo

 pie never grow old, but forever live young and en-

 joy the youthful pleasures The wicked see the stones coming and try to dodge, by which they fall from the log and go down thousands of feet to the water. which is dashing over the rocks, anG is stinking with dead fish and animals, where they are carried round and brought back to the same place in whrlrools, where the trees are all dead and the waters are full oftoads, Hazards and snakes; where the dead are always hungry, and have noth- ing to eat, are always sick and never die; where the sun never shine and where the wicked are con- tinually climbing up by thousands on the side of the Eigh rock, from which they can overlook the beautiful country of the good hunting grounds, the place ofthe happy, but never can reach 1t.
