Doubtless there are many who conceive
themselves comforted by Grape and bonn
bazine, and their feelings ought to be re-
spected. We are greatly the creatures of
habit. Among the Hebrews the conven-
tionsl expressions of grief consisted in
tearing garments, cutting the hair and
beard and going about baroheaded and
barefooted, weeping and shifting the
breast. The Greeks kept themselves So
Guided, wore coarse black garments and
walled bitterly. During the empirewomen
wore white mourning in place of black, a
chserfuloustom, at least. Among barbarians
mourning rites are horrible, including
burning and amputation. In the Sand
wich Islands the natives paint their faces
and knock out their front teeth.
The Chinese, more hopeful than the
Caucasians, believe their friends are alive
and happy in come distant cline and 80
usa white instead of black. Even the
Turkish mourning is cerulean, to repre-.
sent the sky to which their loved have
flown, while the Philippians typify the
dust Of which they are made by the
brown they don on funeral occasions.
Everywhere ii is conventional and more
or less barbaric. How unlike true CON
ception of that "other world" Of Mrs.
Stowe:
Sweet hearts around us throb and beat,
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the vail between
With breathibgs almost heard.
In multitudes OF cases families put
into polnpous funeral ceremonies and
costly mourning enough to gave them
from impending want. Who can suppose
that the departed would desire such
trappings, when no one is benefited and
no real respect shown by the unwisdom?
Modern oblations take different form
but amount to the same thing ss
the ancient. A sacrifice upon the altar
Of show and ceremony is sacrifice

poor certainly will. A costly oasket, 0

Commenting upon the showing, from
the tag receivers office, that 1856, 900 per.
sonal tax receipts have been issued mainly
to party committees in the city OF Phila-
delphia, the Ledger says: "Oertainly it ia
most unwelcome as we'll Bs uncomfort-
able thing to be brought face to face with
such q development. For look at the
other suggestion it carries with it. Let
US sift the matter ont little.
OF this hundred and thirty. five
thousand there are probably twenty
thousand who, when pressed by the near
approach of election day, have gone to
the tax cffioe or to the deputies and indi-
vidually paid their taxea for themselves,
and there may possibly be another fifteen
thousand who, because of sickness or dis.
ability, or lack Of employment, or other
unavoidable misfortune, are actually
unable to pay fifty cents every two years
we do not believe there are that many
men so situated, but give fifteen thou

two Glasses would take away thirty
five Thousand from the list, leaving
one hundred gthousand remaining as will

humiliating reflection il is to think that
there is or could be o hundred thousand
grown men in Philadelphia (who are not
disabled by disease or misfortune) SO
mean.spirited asto allow party committees
or other persons to pay the paltry sum of
SO cents to enable them to yote-25 cents

all wear laced shoes. These shoes be-
come united about five times every day,

minutes o day, and 100 girls lose 1000
minutes in the same time. That makes
about sixteen hours per day, or two days

the loss consequently means So per day,
