WHITE MOURNING DRKss.-Hew yery
beautiful and appropriate is white ut the
funeral of young maiden-typical of
purity and expressive Of gentleness and
freedom from the stain of earthly bIem-
lSh. There is lightness and ethereal
character about it admirably adapted to
the occasion, contrasting with the solemn
Sack-clolh with which grief is accus-
toned to be clothed.
We wish We could see it generally
adopted-and that the old fashion of
black mourning should be confined to
special cases, and for definite periods, in
stead of the requisition of social custom
IN protracting its use beyond certain ap-
propriate limits. We always pity the
poor widow who is doomed by the tram
melS of society to envelop herself in the
heavy folds Of bOmbazine for years
and to be weighed down with it's oppres-
Siye heat at the summer solstice, because
it is expected Of them. We have oftsn
telt for them, and known their health
seriously injured by such necessity. Is
IT not really fashion--yes, a fashion it
must be called-and should it not be
modified so as to be expressive of sorrow
withost being destructive of comfort or
of health! Why should there not be
summer costume adapted for mourning,
if black must be used, which is only
suitable for winter !! A plain white cam
bIic dress-with everything white and
plain to suit, with single black ribbon
to show that it is mourning-would be
better for health and comfort, and equal
ly as expressive of respect for the memo
~ of the departed. 1t requires only
beginning by few sensible persons to
become generally adopted. Core
LniQn.

THE ESJoYN9NT OF OocUPATIoN.-The
mind requires some object on which its
powers must be exercised, and without
which it preys upon itself and becomes
miserable. A Aperson accustomed to O life
of activity longs for ease and retirement,
and when he has accomplished this pur.
pose finds himself wretched. The pleas
ure of relaxation is known to those only
who have regular and interesting occups-
ton. Continued relaxation soon becomes
a weariness: and on this ground we may
safely assert that the greatest degree Of
real enjoyment belongs not to the luxu-
rious man Of wealth, or the listless vota-
~ of fashion, but TO the middle classes
Of society, who, along with the comforts
of life, have constant and important oc-
cupation.

JOHN CHINAMAN AHEAD or xYASxux

- ~ -
A San Francisco paper relates the fol-
lowing incident as having occurred lately
at shoe store in that city. The parties
concerned were the proprietor of the
store and John Chinsman. Examining
pair Of boots, the price Of which was
five dollars, John inquired:
"How muchee you aXes for umbootee3"
In spirit of waggery, it is presuma.
bic, the ownerreplied:
Two dollar and halfee, John. Very
cheap bootee, anitee?"
Cheap bootee, said John, who there
upon examined q pair and concluded to
buy, offered quarter eagle.
"But," said the dealer in leather, "this
Is only enough for one boot. They are
two dollars and half pieoe-two boots
cost five dollars"
John was somewhat astonished-said
he would not buy-and demanded the
return of his money but the leather deal
er was inexorable.
No, John, " said the latter, "you have
got one boot and have paid me for it.
Now give me another piece just like this
and take the other"
John saw the drift Of the game, and Was
at once resolved.
We'll" said he, "this bootee mine,
may bel paid for um?"
YES" said the dealer.
"And you no give me tho other
bootee?" asked John.
Not without the money" said the
oher.
"Well," said John, 81 do um bootee
what 1 please cuttee um up.
And thereupon John whipped out Q
knife, cut the boot to pieces and threw
1t into the street exclaiming as hs de-
parted
THAT am my bootee-that other be
pour bootee, you sell um to next fool
Chinaman what come along"
At last accounts the boot dealer was
looking for the man with the wooden
leg, to whom he nigh sell the odd boot,
and thus save expenses.

LIFE ON THE FsoyrIER


Aletter in the New York Herald, dated
Fontenelle City, Nebraska, Territorv.
April l, gives description oflife on the
frontier, in the course of which the writer
says: ..--
Yesterday some seven Punka Indians
visited us. They came down fully equip
ped for stealing or fighting, in single file !;
we received them In the Glowing order:
The edit r Of tie Arrow, lyinr on his
back, with a harmless old yauger lean
ing on his body; Marshal of the Terri
tory leaning against q wood pile, with
Gorse pistols in each hand Colonel of
the Rangers with chin resting on double
barrelled shot gun: an honest Scotch
man, just back Of the wagon, watching
the warlike display the Commissary
Genera, with huge club ready to train
the first red skin that showed fight, ard
the rest OF our company variousiy en-
gagged around the door. They shook
hands around with US, spent an hour in
trying to make us understand Indian.
shook hands again, and filed off in search
of better market for horses and sealps.
In few days we purpose going up the
river as far as the old Omaha Indian vii
lsge, and perhaps across to the Pawnee
Indian village before returning to the set
Elements.
Talk of comfort and pleasure, sur
rounded by the turmoil and confusion of
city hfe-why, it is no more to be com.
pared to this than wolf meat is to good
jerked venison. Ten million acres OF the
loveliest country in the world around
us-not white man in twelve or fifteen
mlles-no corporation restrictions, or &C.
tons for treSpass plenty of geese, ducks.
brants, deer, wolves, prairie hens, &c.
DC, within r fie shot-plenty of good
coffee and whiskey to drink-no wives to
scold us-no women TO tease-no heat
ing feather beds to sleep on-no Sormali.
ties to be bored with-no rents to pay
and plenty of COED, strong buckskin
b:eeches to wear. Why, We would not
change one hour Of this glorious natures
life, surrounded By lovely scenery fresh
from the hand of God, for months of pam
pered city life. There is an unalloyed
pleasure in 1t, concerning which your old
fogydOm of the States know as little bew
to appreciate as Hottentot does Of the
blessings Of civilization or the hog Of the
glorieS Of salvation.
