The varieties of expressing grief are nu-
merous. The Chinese imagine that it is nee
esssry to raise an immense rev and wear
white clothes to show how profundly thew
feel the loss of a relative or dear friend,
while Europeans are less demonstrative
and wear black. But it has been reserved
for Philadelohia merchant to originate a
touching testimonial TO the dead. His wife
had died, snd day or two after the funeral
there was grand opening at bis store,
which was made to serve the purpose of
mourning. All the goods were arranged
tastefully, and draped with black in sort
OF sober-cheerful manner. For instance, a
beautiful hem-stitched handkerchief would
have neatly laid upon il pair of black kid
gloves. This and other ingenious devices !
were resorted to.
