our labor and our money do WE’ €XPCD(la 110‘ for
ubefitlpurposes,’but merely to conform to cus-
’tcm. The real wants of man are few, and easily
gratified”; but those which custom, fashion, and
bzlbit have created are many, and hard to be sup-
plied. Custom, and fashion cost us inc-'re than all
the taxes we pay to support the government of
otircountry. \’Ve complain of those which gov-
ernment demand, but submit without a niiii‘iniir
{O those’ niorejiggrievoiis which our own folly im-
poses. And lienice, as lord Baconjustly _observess_
‘ since custom is the principal magistrate of
man’s life, let men by all means entlcavor to ob-
tain good customs.’
_ There is no law whiclijcustorri has more arbi-
:tl‘f‘ti‘lly imposed, none whose mandates are more
'generall_v,obeyed, and none by which some lam-
ilies suffer more severely, than that respecting
mourning apparel. When a person dies, custom
deuiands that all the relatives, particularly those
who are nearly allied to the deceased, should be
clad in ‘bloc/'r,‘a'iid wear that dress for a c0nsidel“a-
ble time. The lcngtliof time is different in dif-
ferent sections ofthe country; but the practice
pervades every part of the nation. This expense
is, indeed, borne by the wealthy without subject-
ing them to inconvenience ;‘ but it presses li_-artl,
not only upon the poor, but upon many families
who have such a portion of property as with e-
conomy and industry would render them comfort-
able. To such families their mourning apparel
is congdembje ; fo,.,1,e'Y think it must be bet,” ~Man_v of these. femtilies arc in a state of almost
tlian that of the class below them. I have known
many who were poor made poorer by this prac-
tice, and their suli'erings greatly increased I
have witnessed several instances of large lliniilies
who lived well so long as their parent existed.
but when he died the children were not only de-
prived, of his stipport, but the pittance of proper-
ty he left, them was materially impaired by the
unnecessary purchase ofsuch mourning. in pop-
ulous towns this practice is carried to an extrava-
gant height‘—-they wear for the first period a full
mourning dress", and for the second a half mourn-
ing dress. The evils resulting from’ it are seri-
ous. not only to the family, but sometimes to the

their just dues. Reason am‘ reflection condemn
the custom as unnecessary and useless. it is not
pretended‘ that it can better the condition ‘of the
dead, and certainly does not improve that ofthe
livinir. iNo other cause can be assigned for its
support, than that the tyrant ciistoma the l0!"—l Of
fools and the plague of wisemens denlahds it _
There is noreason in the nature and ltness of
‘things, wliy those who have lost a parent or oth-
er relative, should lay aside their former useful-
apparel merely to wear that of another colour and
form. There is no reaso -.-my the color of their
clothes should be black any more than that they
should be blue. Different nations have adopted
different colors as signals of their grief, .and those
have varied at different periods. In the United
States and Europe the ordinary color for mourn-
ing is black ; in China, it is white; in Turltey,
his or violet ; in Egypt. yellow; in Ethopia,
brown. White obtained formerly in Castile on
the death of their Princes. I-Ierrara observes,
‘ that the last time it was used was in 14.98, at the
"deatli of Prince John. Each people pretend to
have their reasons for the particular color of their
mourning: white is supposed to denote purity ;
, yellow, that death is the end of human hopes, in
regard tlit leaves _when they fall, and flowers
when they fade, become yellow ; brown denotes
the eartli, whither the dead return ; black, the
privation of life, as being the privation of light;
blue expresses the happiness which it is hoped
the deceased does enjoy; and purple or violet,
sorrow on the one side, and hope on the other, as
being a mixture of black and blue.’
Though mourning dresses have generally pre-
vailed, there have been indiiiduals, as well as re-
ligious sects, who have wholly abstained from
them. Of these, the Quakers, from their num-
ber, their uniform practice, and their moral char-
acter, form _the greatest example. 'l'l~.e death of
their nearest relations makes no visible change
in their apparel ; tliough in them the ties of kin-
dred are as strong, and their loss as sensibly felt,
as in people who wear the full habiliments of
mourning.
But the custom of mourning dresses has been
too long established, and people have been too

simplicity and the principle of economy on ,w'h'i;_;_h‘
it was founded. ' On the 20th of Q’Clobct', 177
,Congress unanimously agreed to certain’ articles‘
_of association, which w'e_r'e signed by every mem-
ber of that illustrious body. In those articles,
they pledged themselves, that‘ on the death ‘of a-
relation or friend, none of us, or any7..of_ our
families will go into any further mournnig dress
than a black crape’ or ribbon on the arm' or hat,
for gentlemen, and a black ribbon or necklace for
ladies, and will discontinue the giving ofiigloves
and scarves at‘funerals.’, Tliis frugal niode was
actually reduced to pt'actic'c b_v the members who
established it, by many of their successors, and
by characters of the first classes in society, as well
as many others. I well rcmeinber that V/Villiam
Vlfhipple, who was a delegate Congress from
New-Hampshire as early as 2776, when he lost a
near relative, wore no other mourning dressthan
a small piece of crape on his arm. It is a tribute
of respect due to the memory of that worthy man
to add, tliatsoon after the funeral obsequies were
past, he ascertained what the amount of the
mourning dresses for himself and family would
have beerl according to the former custom, and
that sum be distributed to the deserving poor.——
It is to be regretted that this simple mourning
dress has not continued in our country to the pre-
sent time. It would liave iinswered every useful
and necessary purpose, and saved much labor and
money to relieve want and increase the means of
enjoymen"t.._ _ _
If men of wealth and influence, if men who are
at the head of fashion, would tlicmselvcs revive
the frugal course adopted by the founders of our
independence, they would not only relieve them-
selves from trouble and expense, but would grad-
ually cliangc the custom, relieve the people from
the loss of much labour and much money, and
prove themselves public benefactors. But if peo-
ple will voluntarily submit to the heavy yoke and
galling chains which custom and fashion impose
upon their votaries, let them, at least. cease to
complain of the wants, the priv-ations.and the hard
times they endure. CINCINNATUS.

It may serve to reconcile our countrymen, to
bear with christian dignity their own sorrows and
embarrassments, when they _learn the great and
pervading distresscs of other nations. The situ-
ation of Scotland is at this season peculiarly aw-
ul. \Ve are‘ informed by a gentleman direct
from that country, and whose character stands
high and unquestionable, that dreadful as be pre-
sumcd the state ofthe country to be, from the
letters of his correspondents, the actual sufferings
of the people by far transcended all his expecta-
tions. Irle states that this distress is so general
and pervading, that it has afiiicted the higher
classes, the yeomanry ofthe land. The poor and
industrious mechanic, who is compelled to labor
sixteen hours in a day, does not make more than
five shillings in a week for his wages--some are
only able to procure, by the most rigid economy,
potatoes and salt for their wives and children, and
some are destitute even of that sorry meal. The
same gentleman informs us, that in those abodes
where formerly resided health, comfort and abun-
dance. naked ‘children are found crying for bread.
while the lean,hagg'.ird. and ghastly counteminces
of the parents betray symptoms of starvation.—----

late journal of the proceeding of Parliam_ent, we
find it mentioned that Lord Althorp prespnted a
petition front several persons confined inthe Fleet
prison for contempt of the Court of Chancery.—-
One of these persons was a woman, 81 years old,
who had been confined for contempt 31 years.—
Another person was 64- years old, and had been
confined 19 years : another was Q0 and had been
conlitiecl 8 years. __ There is another person who
would have signed the petition, but he was in a
dying condition, partly, it was supposed, on ac-
count of his confinement. One of the members
of the house of commons rose to bear testimony
to the severe sufferings ofrnany persons confined
for contempt. He had known instances in which
the parties had, after long confinement, endeav-
ored to purge themselves from contempt, but had
up means of doing so, the parties being all dead
and the cause quite forgotten. The petition was
laid on the table, [ti course pursued by all legisla-
tive bodics when_ the majority are determined not
to act upon the subject.)
-A Sparrow was remarked to By several times
with foodin her mouth, into a holein an old wall.
The curiosity of the person observing it, was ex-
cited to ascertain the cause; and, ascgncling to
the place uith a ladder. he found there a full

been accidentally entangled, by one leg, in such
a manner as not to be able to escape. Thus fet-

neuve has lately transmitted a quantity ofa pecu-
liar kind of soap, from Africa to Paris, with the
following note :--‘ Being in the village of Pastu-
dal, a few leagues from Senegal, employed in col-
lecting insects, and inviting the ncgroes to pro-
cure me sup-plies, one of them presented me with
it pot containing many thousands of a small insect
cf the carab enus. They were ready dried, and
the numbers showed that they had been collected
for some particular_ purpose. . On inquiring, I
learned that this insect entered into the composi-
tion of the soap used in the country. ‘_‘_The same
negro also showed me a ball of the soap, which
was of a blackish colour, but had all the proper-
ties of our ‘common soap ; andl afterwards learn-
that tliesc. insects are converted to the same
purpose all along the coast of Senegal. This ca-
rat: is black, but the edges or borders of the cor-
selet, and also the dlytt-cs, are ofa reddish color;
the feet and the antennae ofa pale color.’

Strong and urgent representations of ihe dis-—

had been systematically neglected. The azim-

made to give way to this idle pageantry and 0s-
tentatious ceremony. In Manchester, little for-

posing of their property at-alniost any sacrifice,

treat to foreign countries. bo pet*vad1:ig.;' is the
alarm of riot and rebellion, that when our inform-
ant called at the house ofhis partner, on the night
of his arrival, he immediately appeared with an
instriiment of offence in his liand, apprel:gcud.iug
him to be a radical.
He further states, that the best informed peo-
ple look with horror and dismay at the approach-
ing winter ; when in addition to hunger and
wretclicdness, this poor starving population will
be compelled to endure the cold of that inhospit-
able climate. VVhat is to be done, he declares
is the general cry : the advice ofourcorrespozid-I
cut to the young and robust of his acquaintance
was, to abandon the country and seek a residence
elsewhere.
VVe have given this nasty and imperfect out-
line, not for the diabolical object of insulting the
distresses of other nations, but to make our fel-
low citizens patient and resigned under their own
privations and embarrassments. VVe have abun-
dant cause of adoring gratitude to God, for his
but to provoke divine judgment. VVliat will be
the issue ofthis disastrous state of things, unless
some salutary change takes place, requires no
spirit of prophecy to tell.’ Men cannot batten

./Id-bavztage oj'Ig7zorance.-‘——Tlie following cir-
cumstance took place in a neighboring town a
short time since. A fellow hearing there was a
letter for him in the post-office, accordingly went
for it. On the post-master’s handing it to him,
he frankly confessed that he could not read, and
requested the post-master to open it, and let him
know the contents, which he very readily did.-
After getting all the information he wanted, he
knowingly shrugged up his shoulders, thanked
him for his politeness, and dt-ily observed,‘ When
I have got some change Pll call and take it.’
Two men, tired oflife, took the resolution of
drowning themselves. Chance led them, vvitli-
out knowing each other, to fix on the same spot
for the execution of their purpose, and they met
on Westminster Bridge, whence they purposed
to throw themselves into the Thames. Very dif-
ferent motives led to this determination. One,
born to a large fortune, was satiated with pleas-

solved to get rid ofa life which he thought pain-
