--where. This is the fact that makes life sopuzzling and terrible to a child of a believingand trustful character. These Oriental bogiesdo not appear in the dark alone, or only inhaunted houses, or at cross-roads, or in gloomywoods. They are everywhere : every man hashis own ghost, every place has its peculiar haunt-ing fiend, every natural phenomenon has its in-forming spirit; every quality, as hunger, greed,envy, malice, has an embodied visible shapeprowling about seeking what it may devour.Where our science, for example, sees (or rathersmells) sewer gas, the Japanese behold a slimy,meagre, insatiate wrath, crawling to devour thelives of men.
