Is Iright> or ezpedient to s0ear mOaraing appayeI?-In advocating the negative of this question, do not mean to say that there are no arguments in the affirmative. am aware that it is debateable ground that much may be urged on both sides. l shall have that most powerful of all argu- ments-feeling-ar against me- When thought meets thought, tho power and the reaction may be equa! but not so when thought meets feeling. Truth is powerful, but not generally powerful e. nough to prevail in this unequal contest.
 Should tho arguments against mourning apparel succeed in convincing the under standing. they will probably fail to remove those predilections in its favor, which cns- tom and early associations have implanted in every mind. This must be Jeff to per- suasion and example, which are usually more efficacious on the practice than argu- ments are on tue understanding.
 The first and most prominent objection to mourning apparel is the sIPsnse. This, with the greater part of the community, IS a serious consideration. It is d heavy tax for men who usually do little more than meet the current expenses of their families, to array them all in new dress every time ,hex lose a relative. For those who are absolutely poor, it is an evil of no small magnitude. When, perhaps the expenses which sickness involves have pressed heav- ilv upon them, instead of practising their usual economy, this tyrannical custom obli- oes them to run in debt to obtain what is called decent mourning It is true that inc benevolence of the rich sometimes pre-

 "The envy of the world is as bad as its contempt; you have, perhaps; the one, and l share otthe other. We are match- ed there too. And besides, the world deals in this matter equally unjust with us both. You and live by our wits, instead ot living by our industry and the only difference between us in this particular worth naming, is that it costs society more to maintain youthan it does mel am con- tent with little, you want a great deal.
