his appreciation of their persons and behaviour, in
manner truly laughable, threw his hat as if partly

him to Sophia, informed her of his generous inten-

DIFFERENT COLORS OF MOURNING
In Europe black is generally used, be-
cause it represents darkness, which death
is like unto, as it is privation Of life
In China zvhHe is used, because they hope
that the dead are in heaven, the place Of
purity. In Egypt yello7v is used, because
it represents the decaying of trees and
flowers, which become yellow as they die
away. In Ethiopia brown is used, be-
cause it denotes the color of the ground
from whence we came, and to which we
return. In some parts of Turkey blue is
used, because it represents the sky, where
they hope the dead are gone; but, in
other parts, Purple and violet, because,
