Text Appearing Before Image:
only son, and later hadhad her husband carried off before her eyes. The graveyard of the village was laid out along the river,on each side of a moss-grown path, overshadowed by tall andaged trees. All about grew delicate ferns and shrubs sacredto the dead. Almost at the end of this tall avenue I cameone day on a house of some dimensions, with a closed door,having a space in front cleared of vegetation, and kept neatlyin order. By peering though an aperture I could see inside,surrounded by a close pavement of stones, a solitary grave-stone. This was the resting-place of the Nene Poyang, orForefather, who had established the village. When any greattrouble overtakes the village, such as many deaths from tigers,or times of scarcity befall them, they assemble here, and killinga goat or a buffalo, they invoke the good offices of the spirit oftheir ancestor. If a man have a dispute with another and thematter be referred to his oath, it is over the stone of theirancestor here that he swears.
