.Mourning.
Like most f.tlß'r customs, ami outw,ml
forms ntnl erroritonies, that of ilonninp;
black apparel ns it token that a friend lias
passed from earth, is frequently fraught
with hypocrisies and repressions of nat
ural tastes and impulses.
It the world requires some sie;n of re
spoct fiom relatives, and him k were worn
| simply as that token, then it would be a
superfluity and uneaßed ter inconveni
ence of the livinpr, for those who have
gone so far away from worldly consider
ation that they care not for the sacrifice.
But worn ns it so often is, simply us a
false indication of grief and sorrow, the
garment of woe becomes a hollow and
meaningless emblem.
Why should the widow, who 1 tys off
her weeds for bridal robes, ever have
gone into black cxcludvelv ? Certainly
the sudden casting off of “mourning”
subjects her to ridicule. Wearing black
for the dead is too often an empty
form, which in the gui e of sadness cov
ers a multitude of vain motives, such as,
black being “so interesting,” &c., and a
widow’s cap the very climax of coquetisli
and fascinating amusement, that the fair
wearer is again in market.
Many people have discarded the cus
tom altogether. Yet it requires consid
erable courage to brave, the criticism of
those who are bound by worldly appear
ances, for those who wholly disapprove
it, to follow their own judgment and,
preference in the matter.
Many a woman wears black because'
she is afraid of what the wpi'id might
say. when blight colors would cheer her
spirit and dispel many a sombre and :
gloomy hour.
There is no dress more slavish than
mourning. Neither sit less expensive
than colors if fresh and elegant. Every
speck is a blemish on crape and bomba
zine. And it is very difficult to fashion
cool and comfortable toilets out of deep
mourning goods for summer weather.
The poor woman whose life is desolate
because her loved ones return not to
clasp again the broken home circle,
needs no change of attire to show the
world that her heart is mourning, waitsi
ing, watching for tire step shg never
hears, and listening for a voice which is
silent, and that her sleep is troubled by
false hopes, that her darlings are in her
arms once more, never again to wander.
The heavy eye, anxious, careworn face
and languid steps, all tell with touching
and unmistakable eloquence that she is a
mourner.
Life is too short to cherish and nour
ish sorrow. There is too much to be
done to allow the thoughts always to lin
ger among clouds arid wcaking depres
sion.
The real mourner should have bright
colors and bright influences around to
lift the broken spirit and bring back tire
ro c es of health which weeping and hcart
sickness have taken away.
Blue, the heavenly color, blue, should
be substituti and for black as a sign of
mourning. And it would be done if Dame
Fashion were kind and considerate of
the health of the afflicted. —Elm Orlou.
A Triuic-Umoi Sample.
The strike of sixty men in a single
rolling mill in Chicago, says the Commer
cial Advertiser, a few days ago, threw
fifteen hundred men out of employment.
This may have been fun to the sixty, but
it was very hard upon the remaining
fourteen hundred and forty. All be*,
longed to a Trade-Union, and when the
sixty quarreled with their employers on
a question of ten cents’ pay, the others
had to “go out,” or bo tabooed and per
secuted. It was a signal illustration of
the beauties of the Trade Union system.
The rebellious sixty were finally beaten,
and returned to their word,-, but, in the
interval, the fourten hundred and forty
stood unwillingly idle, while their fami
lies wanted bread. That is to say,
counting the usual average of five per
sons to a family, more titan seven thous
and persons were left to suffer while the
sixty strikers fought out the battle with
the masters. The Chicago Inter Ocean
says this Union of the iron workers “h*
one of the strongest organisations of its
character in the country, being second
only to the Typographical Union in ca
pability to enforce its orders.” The in
justice and tyranny of (he whole system
is exhibited in a very strong light in this
instance.
M. D., a distinguished French advo>
cate, was recently conducting a suit for
separation brought by a woman against
her husband. The counsel for the latter
having exhausted his stock of arguments,
proceeded to read to the court a number
of letters written by bis client to the
plaintiff before their marriage, copies of
which had previously been served upon
his opponent. “The court shall deter
mine,” be cried, “whether the writer of
letters glowing with so pure and-tendera
flame of love could be capable of com
mitting the enormities charged against
him.” M. D., quietly placed an open
volume upon the Judge’s desk, observing
as his opponent began to Lead, “The
! court would perliap3 like to' follow the
*nvt. M The letters bad been stolen from
uvelle IJeloise.’

\ Note of Despair.
One of our Northern Republican ex
changes, after speaking in doleful num
bers, of the wretchedly low standard ol
morality in Administration circles and
the country generfitly, thus despairingly
cries out for a savior :
“Who and where is the clear-thinking
statesman —no, not statesman, common
than—ewery day man —hard fisted, rough
and hearty, but honest way down, true
to wife and family and bis own \na-nhood, 1
who will roll away the Stone from the
sepulchre of public virtue? The -tirn=e,
calls out for him. The country waits i
his coming. A nation bowed down with
the shame brought on it by its trusted
servants, with its face in the dust, prays
in its anguish for some convulsion dlaat (
shall rend the heavens and purify the air,
and elect to the chief magistracy of the
nation a clever, honest, talented and
whole-souled Southern gentleman—some
body who would put a stop to the stealing,
and teach Radical officials better man
ners_who would appoint trustworthy
and efijeient oftieers to the public places,
and set the country, as several Southern
Presidents have done before, an example
of honor, integrity and patriotism—and
then the face of things would be changed
and the moral atmosphere purified once
more.” . i
A Wonderful Story.
The Oude (India) Excelsior prints the .
story following: “Very recently a na
tive, having ornaments on her person
worth about'4Oo or 500 rupees, accom
panies! b) her daughter, who also wore
ornaments worth about two hundred rti
pees, alighted from the train at Hurdui,
and hired an ckka to carry them to their
village. On arriving at a lonely spot,
about six miles from Hurdui, there being!
no villages within miles,, the -ekka drew
up at the side of the road, and the driver
suddenly demanded the whole of the
jewelry to be given up to him. On be
ing refused, he tied the wotflan and the
girl up to the ekka, and coolly dives'ted
them of every article. He then drew a
knife, with the intention of murdering
them, but in the excitement of the mo
ment let the weapon fall info a ditch,
about three feet deep. lie jumped
down, and was just in the act of
clutching at the knife, whep a liink!
mke darted ffom a hole and fixed its
fangs in his hand; knowing the snake to
be an extremely venomous one, be fe*f!
down almost senseless with terror and
died in a feW minutes. The woman and'
girl remained there about two hours,
when, seeing some villagers at a distance,
they screamed for assistance, and onhe-j
ing released gave ..information at thej
nearest thannah. The police came to
the spot and found the corpse of the
ekka driver and the snake still, there.—- (
The corpse was tsfken Ho jfhe nearest sta
tion for an inquest to be held ; the snake
was blocked in its hole with a large
stone, as the police had not the courage
to kill it. The ornaments were found
tied up in the kuminerbund of the corpse,
and restored to their owners. The
foregoing facts were related to us by one
whose vcraci'y we havfc no reason (o'
doubt. 0
The craving of children for i!wefcts is
well-known to bo one of the most impe
rious of their appetites. It has reference
probably to that ceaseless activity which
especially characterizes the age of child
hood. It may be that sugar performs
in tl.eir systems the part enacted by fatty
substances in the bodies of adults. As
it undergoes oxidation —is burnt up,
circulating with the blood—it may be
the source of that power which enables
them to keep in motion from morning till
night. Besides this, it is known that it
renders easier and more perfect the di
gestion of the nlbutpinous food upon
which growth depends, ftn respect to
these offices, it is therefore nearly ,essen-j
tii to their well-being. And yetihowj
strong, from generation generation,
has been the prejudice against sugar!—
Tinder what difficulties, and in the face
of rthat discouragements and protests,
have our children obtained the luxury.-

'Western Arithmetic*
A freetern hotel keeper was lately victim
ised in tle following manner :
B. went to him and engaged board by the
week ot $lO per week, ,
‘Now.’ said TL ‘I may be absent occasion
nl’y : what deduction will vnu make for that ?’
‘Fifty cents a meal and fifty cents a lodging,’
repli 'd the landlord.
Time wore on. and B. was sometimes there
and sometime* not. After a while the land
lord presented a bill for three weeks’ board
f3O dollars. In a short time B. appeared with
a counter bill of deduction for meals and
lodging missed. Meals enten, three, sd.f>o ;
led "ing*, seven, $3.50; meals missed,
S3O - lodging missed, fourteen, $7; Balance in
favor of 8., $?. The (landlord, pf,course, wa
a little astonished at the result of the reckon
ing, and, thovofure, xaU pot .p .wordjfor the
best reason, that die.opuld not think of any
thing that would do justice to the euhjeet.—
Whereupon 8., to relieve the landlords per
plexity, remarked with cool urbanity :
‘Well, never mind the $2 ; I’ll take it out in
bo Tho landlord oouidn’t eee how to keep even
with such a boarder, add so the connection
between him and B, as landlord! and bodrdor
came to an end*

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes, Aug. 7
“There is no doubi that a scheme will ho
introduced in the next Congress contem
plating the assumption, by the General
Government, of the indebtedness of this
Southern States. .John W. Forney and
Gen, Butler, of Northern Republicans,
art* already represented to be committed
to the scheme.’.’
The old Trojans), did tot have better
cause to bewaro of the Greek horse than
the South has to distrust this scheme.—
A proposition to give the amount to the
Southern States, (to do with it as they
pleased, would receive very litile North
ern support, while this scheme may be
supported by some of oyr bitterest ene
mies in that section. , And why ? We
think that the Nashville Union gives the
true auswef, when it says: “This mat
ter was talked of at the last session of
Congress, and members were sounded as
to their views on the subject. But it was
ascertained to be too late in the session
to consummate the necessary legislation,
and so the matter was dropped (or the
present, but it is to be brought up in
the new Congress., 0/ coiprse this effort
to havp the General Government assume
the debts of the Southern States is not
made from pure lovo for the people of
these States. There is nothing ot the
kind at the bottom,of the movement. —
It is in the interest of speciilatprs. A
large portion ot the bonds, and other
evidences which represent the indebted
ness of the Southern States, is in the
hands of Northern speculators, mainly
in new svfio have bought up these
evidences, of debt at very low figures.—
Some of thesi, and pot a very small pro
portion either, ere fraudulent and could
not be eddeeted from the States by which
they purport <0 have been issued. But
if Congress passes a bill authorizing the
General Government to assume the
debts of the Southern States, these fraud
ulent bonds will be paid the same as the
other bonds. There is a great deal of
rascality in this movement, and it should
be thoroughly exposed.’’

A correspondent gives to the Hopkins
ville New Era the following as a speech
made by General Jack3on, when.,he was
yet a poor bfekwoods lawyer in Tennes
see and unknown to fame:
He was employed to prosecute a negro
foi the njurder of another, in a fit of
jealously, p.nd his speech to the jury was
the following paragraph: “No more
phalli the voice of the poor murdered man
‘he heard in tfhe songs ctf the merry corn
huskings. No more shall he pluck the
snowy cotton ball. No more shall the
