PERVIENOE. To mourn ia to griovo and be sor- rowftil on any account.' There ia.a proper, and an'improper timo for this. We sometimes mourn over losses and dissappointments, when we have had no agency in bringing ibcm about, and cannot in any degree be responsi¬ ble for them. We should never afflict ourselves, or grieve over Providential circumstances. "Forthe Judge of all the earth willdorigbt.' Thetimeto mourn is vtrhen'we have eiiined and dono wrong, violated the law of our God, and in¬ jured ourselves, and our follow beings; this is the time to mourn when wo see sinners on tho road to destruction, and our children living in violation of the law of God, and by tbeir actions show¬ ing themselves irreconciled to our kind and heavenly Father. There is some propriety in mourning over these. Thero appears to bo great cause of mourning at the present, in consequence of the sins of our Nation. Every person that has any interest at the throne of grace, should be_ in earnest boforo God in prayer, in view of the distrauted state of our beloved Republic. When wo loose our friends by death, a proper degree of sorrow is right. It should consist in an humble, meditative, and contrite heart, and a sorrowful mind. Not by making a great show, by putting on costly mourning-attire. 1 have somo serious objections to this kind of show at the death of friends. i 1. There is no real neccessity for it; it answers no very ' valuable puf-1 pose. 2. It frequently causes a great deal of bustle, and btir at funerals, calcula¬ ted to draw the mind off from those profitable meditations, that wo should endeavor to oursue on such occasions. 3. It often pioves burdonsomc to poor ])eoplu, because it is fashionable todrcisin mouriiius^- '-t tho death of friends, and thoy thmk they aro not treating tbeir deceased relations ^Mth duo respect, unles.i they imt on a show of mourning, and fr^,(iuently they arc not, able to do so, without mauifivst in¬ jury to tbomsclvcs and family. 4. It is no positive evidence, that persons arc truly inQarnur.s, becuiio we see themdressoutinmourning hab¬ its, for it is often the case,, that before they put off the black, they appear as light and vain, as if they, had never lost a dear friend. - In the,"Encyclopedia of :Eeligious Enowlodgo," we find the following on fashionable mourning. "Tho modesof mourning are various in various coun- taieSj.as, also, are the colors that obtain for that end. In Europe, the ordinary color for mourning is black, in China, it is white, in Turkey, it is blue, .or violet, in Egypt, yellow, in, Ethiopia, brown, Each people pretend to have their.roaaona for the particular color of their mourning. White is supposed tof denote purity; yellow, thatdoath is the end of humati hopes, as leaves, when thoy fall, and flowers when they fade, become yellow; brown , denotes tbo earth, whither tho dead returp; black, the privation of life, ,a8 being the privation of light; blue :expre|Be8 the happiness which it is hoped^fhe deceased enjoys, aud purple, or viol'et, sorrowon the one ,sido ^knd hopo*on tho other, as being a mixture of black and blue." All these superstitions are practiced, according to the traditions ofthe fathers, of the different ,nations. But tho most ridiculous mourning is, that done by substitutes. These aro hired to make dreadful lamentations over the dead—they learn to be export in this, and, may be called professional mourners—this practice has been car¬ ried on, both , among the Greeks and Egyptians. As light and knowledge increases in the world, these foolish and superstitious praotiqes will all give way to a rational course of con¬ duct and all hypocritical mourning will bo' done away, both among Christians and heathens. Sincerity in all things, is truly com¬ mendable. Every devoted pastor ofa church moots with 'times , to mourn. To see sinners haidening under the means of grace, cauBea him to mourn; to 'see members of tho church neglect-' ing duty, and living so as to be stumb¬ ling blocks in tbe 'Way of others caus¬ es deep pain and sorrow. Again, he often feels great cause of mourning ovorhisown neglect and failure, in consequence of imperfections in him¬ self. But we have ' the blessed promise, "That they that mourn shall be com¬ forted." IFriitcn/or.ffi'e Gospel Herald Pres.
