The soul has two lives, one animal, one intellectual; in sleep the latter is more free, and more clairvoyant. This, of course, suggests Home's experiments in handling live coals, as Mr. Crookes and Lord Crawford describe them. Compare the Berserk 'coal-biters' in the saga of Egil, and the Huron coal- biter in the preceding essay.
"Home's a delightful place and nobody loves to be with papa more than I do," said Max, "but for all that I'm glad I'm going to be a man and able to do a man's work in the world." "And I," said the captain, "am glad that God has given me both sons and daughters, and that you two are satisfied to be what God has made you."
So dies a human habitation left to natural decay, all that was seen above the surface of the soil sinking gradually below it, Till naught remains the saddening tale to tell Save home's last wrecks, the cellar and the well. But if this sight is saddening, what is it to see a human dwelling fall by the hand of violence!
Iamblichus mentions this as among the peculiarities of his 'possessed' men; and in 'Modern Mythology' I have collected first-hand evidence for the feat in classical times, and in India, Fiji, Bulgaria, Trinidad, the Straits Settlements, and many other places. To hold glowing coals in his hand, and to communicate the power of doing so to others, was in Home's répertoire.

And Mrs. Walker a miracle of aged neatness, trim, straight, little, in her somber black and immaculate cap looked severely back. "Be seated, Mrs. Walker," said the president. "Thank you." Mrs.
What actually occurred is not, of course, quite easy to ascertain, for the account in Home's Memoirs principally consists of noble speeches made by the medium which would seem either to have reduced Browning to a pulverised silence, or else to have failed to attract his attention.

The empress, having heard of Home's strange feats of table-turning and spirit-rapping in fashionable salons of the capital, was eager to witness his performances.
Unhesitatingly and without regret others give thee their lives in frenzied fight on the battlefield. But what matter the surroundings! Be they cypress, laurel or lilies, scaffold or open country, combat or cruel martyrdom, it is all the same, when for country and home's redress. I die while watching the flushing skies announce through dark mantle the advent of a day.
"What is it, then?" asked Mrs. Babcock sharply. "I dunno. I know one thing: home's the best place for everybody if they've got one." "I don't think 'tis always. I b'lieve when you're off on an excursion ticket in makin' the best of things, for my part. To-morrow's Sunday, an' I expect to enjoy the meetin' an' seein' the folks.
