FOLLY OF FUNERAL FASHIONS.

The New York Sunday Alas discourses
as follows upon that arbitrary law of
fashion which requires people to go into
mourning'-in other words, to attire
their bodies in black clothes-on the oc-
caSion of the death of relation:
Let every man or woman who mourns
the death of a near friend or relative
make bold stroke towards demolishing
the foolish, expensive and uncouth system
Of going into mourning. Let the be-
reaved refused to array themselves in
sables. and say with Hamlet:
Genuine grief is not made up in grapes
or broadcloths, although fashionable
sorrow could not be delineated without
the aid of those fabrics. 1t is unrighte-
Gus to allow Fashion to play the tyrant
in the graveyard. For the sake of trade,
let that monarch rule and reyel in the
saloon. the opera house, the drawing
room, and aristocratic street but when
the tomb is in question, let Fashion be-
set aside. The custom of going into
mourning, disresses many poor family
beyond calculation. Ifthey Go not wear
black, they are heartless, the world says,
and DO not respect the father, the brother
or the sister, OF mother who has sudden
Iy departed to life eternal. Asifa broken
heart is not as often found under light
colored vestments as under Grape. Eye
serving griefis no grief at all. We de-
spise, We almost scof at il. We have
no objection to it however, where people
can as well afford ii as not. But we
most decidedly oppose it if the poor are
compelled, by the fiat ofFublic opinion,
to be enslaved and farther Impoverished
by it. In matters affecting life and lis
gaieties we have nothing to say against
Fashion; but when it interferes with
death, peers into the coffin, prescribes
sumpiuary rules for the funeral cortege,
and the style of mournei'S s costume, it
usurps position and duties for which it
has neither claim nor fitness.

HONESTY.

There is no virtue in life more neces-
sary. five say word to the young,
we shall do them a kindness if it only
serve to keep them in the path of honor.
which, We assume, they now are tread
ing.
Beware of the slightest betrayal Of
your virtue by appropristing any, even
the slightest thing. of your employer.
You cannot prosper if you do so. And
every hope of your success in life de-
pends upon your characters for trust-
worthiness. Reduce your wants to
your income, and never fix upon yourself
a poor habit of getting credit. Pay with
your own money for whatyou buy. And
buy only what you can pay for, and you
will not tempted to draw upon means not
your own.

They only sleep below
While winter winds shall blow;
To breathe and smile upon you soon again.

And angels silver voices stir the air.
