symbolic Meaning of Colors

White was the emblem Of light re-
ligious purity, innocence, faith, JOY and
life. In the Judge it indicates integrity
in the sick man, humility in woman,
chastity.
Red, the ruby, signifed fire, divine
love, the Holy Spirit, heart Of the crea-
tive power and royalty. White and red
roses express love and wisdom, as in the
garland with which the ancients crowned
st. Secilia. In another sense red signi-
fes blood. war, hatred and punishment.
Red and black combined were the colors
of purgatory.
Blue, or the sapphire, expressed heaven
and the armament, truth, constancy and
fidelity.
Yellow, or gold, was the symbol Of the
sun, of the goodness of God, of imita-
ton, of marriage, faith or faithfulness.
In the picture of the Apostles, st. Peter
wears yellow mantle over blue tunic.
Yellow also signifies Inconsistency, jeal-
ousy, deceit in this sense it was given
to Judas, who is generally habited in
yellow. iiq
Green, the emerald, is the color of
spring, hope particularly hope of i'm
mortality, and of victory--as the color
of palm and laurel.
Violet, the amethyst, signified love
and truth, or passion and suffering.
Hence, it is the color often worn by the
martyrs.
Black expresses the earth, darkness,
mourning. wickedness, negation, death
and it was appropriated to the Prince of
Darkness. In some old Illuminated
manuscript Jesus in the temptation wore
a black robe White or black together
signify purity of life, and mourning or
humiliation. g1Hu

Health of New Orleans.

The New Orleans Crescent of Friday
says:
As usual, the reports about the cholera
visiting us are very much exaggerated.
All, however. who choose 10 know the
truth, viii disregard the alarmists and
the graphic and topographic accounts Of
sensation. mongers, and gather it from the
reports Of the Board Of Health These
so far, show the mortality to be, if any
thing, under the average Of the season.
Last year was universally proclaimed and
admitted to be one Of the bealthiest ever
experienced in New Orleans. The popu-
lation was not then as great by some
twenty five per cent as it is now During
the week ended on the 9Th of August,
1865, the deaths were l47; during the
week ended on the 9th inst, they were
only l93-an increase of little more than
ten per cent, or considerably less than
one-half of the ratio of increase in the
population. As long as cholera produces
no greater increase of mortality than it
has hitherto, it cannot properly be taken
ont of the ordinary category of causes
or forms of death.

Romauco in Massachr setts.

The Cambridge Press has the follow
ing "a few weeks since very wealthy
Southern gentleman visited Boston to
make purchases, and while sojourning
at a prominent hotel was taken suddenly
i'll. His mslsdy was of such a charac-
ter that it required the skill of an emf
nent physician, and the attention of an
experienced nurse, and such experience
was found in the person of young and
comely Irish girl, a domestic in the ho-
tel. She had but recently been en-
ployed TO do the work in the hotel, and
had, during the short time engaged,
given such satisfaction TO her employer
that be at once selected her TO minister
in the sick chamber of our young friend.
Watchful and attentive, hearing every
sound and answering every call, did this
faithful nurse perform her task, thinking
not of herself, nor feeling the fatigue of
broken rest Day after day did this de-
voted (for what else could It have been
but devotion7) ministering angel as
suage the pain and bathe the feyered
brow of her youthful sufferer and charge.
Skillful treatment and kind care sue
ceeded at last to produce the much de-
sired change, and our young friend rap
idly improved. Convalescence followed
the administering of proper restora.iyes,
and short occasional drive in the coun-
try gave that buoyancy and strength so
much needed after severe sickness 17

A Son Kills HIS Father.

A correspondent writing to us from
Hawesyille, Hancock county, Ky, re-
lates that a man named Chambers, while
working in his tobacco fields with his
sons, engaged in quarrel with them and
endeavored to chastise them. The old
est IS years of age, in the melee struck
him with hoe, inhicting wound of
which he died in few days The boy
was arrested and discharged on the
ground that the act was committed in
self-defense. Less than year since a
man killed his wife in the same vicinity,
and has never been called to an account
for it. Another killed his brother-in-law
with AN ak, and is still at large. Twen-
ty-two murders have been committed in
Hancock county, and not one of the ruff
fans has been brought to justice. - Gin

From the Sumter Republican, 4thl
On Monday last negro man by the
name of Charles Pagan committed one
of the most diabolical crimes known in
our land on the person of young and
beautiful lady, in the eastern part of this
county. We refrain from giving her
name. She was on visit to neighbor' s
when the negro saw her enter the house,
and waited for her TO leave On her way
home he overlook her and laid violent
hands on her; it was not until she was
so prostrated in trying to prevent his OBJ
ject that he succeeded in his hellish de-
sign. After accomplishing his purpose
he threatened to cut her throat, but by
her entreaties and promising to say moth
ing about the matter, he desisted. He
then made his escape, but was pursued
and overtaken near Sumter City He
was then brought before the young lady,
who identified him as being the person,
and he Immediately acknowledged. The
brother Of the lady then shot him, killing
him almost instantly. This is the right
way to serve all such scamps. ...
