MOURNING DRESS.

In Italy the mourning was formerly white for
women. and brown for men: in China it is
white; lnTurkey, Syria, and Armenia, it is blue;
IN Egypt yellow; in Ethiopia grey. Each of
these color~ had originally its mystical signif-
cation. White is the emblem Of purity celes-
tal blue indicates the space where the soul
ranges after death; yellow, or the tingc Of dead
leaves. exhibits death as the end Of human hope,
and man falling Ike the leaves in Autumn grey
presents the color of the EARTH our common
mother; and black, the funeral costume now
adopted throughout Europe, is an allusion to
the eternal night.
In England the King never wears hlack-he.
i, clothed in purple as mourning. Until the
the reign of Charles Y ILL., white was the funeral
Sarb in France. The Emperor Leopold, who
died in 1905, used to suffer his beard to grow
in disorder during the whole period OF his
mourning In this he initiated the Jews The
dowaser Expresses never left OIL weeds and
their apartments were hung with black till their
death
There is nothing easy as to rev engc offence,
but nothing SO honorable to pardon it.

GOOD NIGHT.

The clock strikes ten its warning sous.
Reprovcs my long delay
Yet who from scenes where bliss is found
Would wish to haste away
And who would stop to count the hours,
Where every path is strewed with flowers,
And beauteous prospects charm the sight
Forgive my faux Gool Night Good Night
And oh. if other words than these
warmer wish convey,
Ny heart tue welcome phrase would seize,
Its feelings to pourtray.
Whatever comfort nature knows,
Whatever blessing heaven bestows,
May these thy peaceful heart invite
TO constant joy Good Night Good Night
Sweet and refreshing be thy sleep,
And all thy visions blest
Angels Their watchfnl guard shall keep,
Nor evil dare modest.
And in the silent midnight hour,
When t.ucy. With her magic power,
Paints djstsn' forms in colors bright,
Remember me- Good Night Good Night

POETRY.
THE STRANGER BRIDE.

THE STRANGER BRIDE.
Why walk by the lonely strand,
He comes not with the tide,
Ills home is in distant land,
The stranger is his bride,
The stranger on whose lofty brow
The circIing diamonds shine,
Is now his love whose earliest vow
And pledge of hope were nine.
They tell me that my check is pale,
That youths gay smile is gone,
That Drawing thus the ocean gale,
Has child my heart to stone
And friendship asks what secret care
There is to work me wo
But vainly seeks grief to share,
Which none shall ever know.
1e waves that heard the false o~c 81 e,,r,
But saw him not return,
YEN not betray me if a tear
Should start in spite Of scorn
Yet no, wounded spirits pride.
Though PASSIONS pangs are deep,
Shall dash the trait'rous drop aside
From eyes that must not weep.
In vain, alas | have no power
TO quit this lonely strand,
From whence at the wild parting hour,
saw him leave the land
Though he has ta'en stranger bride,
Ny love cannot depart.
Its eal-too strong for woman's pride =
VIII be broken heart.
