ON AIounsns CosrunH Iti a mat
Ter of education. IL So far as high col-
ors have come to signify gayeiy and
pleasure, shore may be good reason
ioF aismisaing them. Ifone would mark
ones grief why not by the color chosen
BY tho Bible to express spiritual thingsf
White signifies purity, triumph, spirit
ual giadness, and this ought not to bo
uncongoniai 70 the modes Of Christian
grief
II j. not the custom of our people to
Symbolic their feelings by q change Of
dress, with this solitary exception. If
man becomes bankrupt or has his
house burned down, or loses heavily in
commercial operations, or has a son III
disgrace, or a child misled by evil COM
pany, Or any other experience Of grief,
be does not change bis garb The one
solitary and exceptional case is bereaye-
meut But there is in domestic sorrow
dehcacy, or ought 70 be, which should
shrink from an ostentatiousness such
as mourning APPAREL cannot fail TO have.
No one has right SO to express his
sorrows as to intrude them upon every
eye wherever he goes. Custom has
long justified it, otherwise it would be
esteemed an indelicacy for one to be a
walking advertisement Of his own pri-
yate griefs But, even if one were per-
mltted to announce this one side of do
nestle experience by change of garb,
the question yet remains, whether ex-
preston should be given to the weak
ness Of natural feeling, or the triumph
Of Christian faith ? Whether we should
symbolic the darkness Of the grave as
unenlighteued nature shows it, or the
grave made luminous by the triumph
ofour Savior and the glories Of immor
tality beyond it? We may be sure there
is something wrong in Christian com
munity where death IS surrounded with
associations of terror, where the young
are reared to a horrer Of the sepulcher,
where present grief rises up like dark
cloud and shut out the heaven, where
lin sermon service, conversation aud
dress everything con pirod to shrond
death aud the grave with darkness
Has sorrow a right to be selfish May
it bear false witness against immortal
ty Has Christian unler bereavement
a right to deslare by his conduct,
There is no light in the grave, none
beyond it, and no comfort for the be-
reayed but only black, black sorrow !"
] never met one mulli9d in black from
head to foot without certain horror.
The smell Of Grape is to me like the
smell Of charnel house. Did it ever
occur to mourners to ask, what, if those
for whom | grieye were to speak to me
out Of their blissfnl abode in heaven,
would it be their choice that / should
be shrouded like one in despair, or
robed as one who mourns, but with a
Christian hope? ?,

GBRAT DocroRs IN CONSULTATION.
When DIR Bethune and his wife were
in Europe, Mrs, Bethune had been
transported from Liverpool to London,
by water, in order to consult Sir Ash
ley Cooper and Sir James Clarke. At
this place her husband joined her, to
make the discovery that even the most
learned doctors may be found mapping.
The accommodations not being extern
siyo, when the two physicians retired
for consultation. Mr.. Bathune was in
position where he could overhear their
remarks. They had pleasant inter
view one relating how he on a certain
occasion came very near fighting a du-
el The difficulties and dangers Of the
position occupied some time TO describe,
and they were about to separate when
one recalled the patient. But what
shall we do with Bethune's wife?" 80,
give her the old pill, was the reply.
II is superhuous to add that this most
expensive medical attendance quickly
terminated.
