From an English Paper. GOING INTO MO URNING. The ancients were more consistent in their mourning than the civilized people of the present tiny. They sal upon the ground and lasted, with rent garments, and ashes strewn upon their heads. This mortification of the flesh was a sort of penance inflicted by the seh-lorlured mourner for his own sins and (nose of ihe dead, If this grief were not of a deep or lasting nature, ihe mourner found relief for his mental agonies in humil'alion ami personal goffering. He did not array himself in silk and wool, and fine linen, and garments cut in the most approved fashion of the day, like our modern beaux and belles, when they testify to the public ibeir grief for the loss of relation or friend, in the most ex pensive and becoming manher. Verily, if we must wear our sorrow upon our sleeve, why not return to the sackcloth and ashes, as ihe most consistent demonstra tion of that grief which, hidden in the heart, surnasseth show > But then, sackcloth is a most unmanage able materia!. A handsome figure would be ios,, ouried and annihilated, in a sackcloth gown ; it would be so horribly rough, it would wound the delicate skin of a fine lady ; it could not be confined in graceful folds by clasps of jet and pearl, and ornaments in taaci. anc gold. “Sackcloth ! Faugh! nw.ii win, i. Ii smells of me knulied scourge and the charnei house. 1 ' We sav ‘ Away with u!" True grief has no need of such miserable provocatives to woe. Tne barbarians who cut and disfigure their faces for (he dead, showed a noble contempt o r the world by destroying these personal attractions which the loss,of the beloved had (night them to despise. But who now would nave furnlude and self-denial to imitate such an cxantple > The mourners in crape and silu, and French merino would rather die themselves than sacrifice their beauty at the Minne of sut-h a monstrous sorrow. How often have I heard n knot of gossips exclaim, ns some widow 01 a eenlleman in filled circumstances glided by in her rusty w eds;—“ What shabby black lhal woman wears for her husband 1 i should be ashamed to appear in public in such faded mourning." And yet the purchase of that shabby black mav have cost the desolate mourner and her orpnan children the price of many a neces sary meal. Ah ! this pulling of a poor fam ily in black, and all the funeral trapping for ml! bearers and mourners, <»hat a terrible affair n is 1 what anxious thoughts! what bilicr heart aches it costs I But the usages of society demand the sac riuce, and it mus! be made. The head of 1115 family has suddenly been removed from ms eanhlv lolls at a most complicated crisis O' ms affairs, which ore so involved lhal scarcely enough can be collected lo pay the expenses of (he funeral and pul his family i/ik mourning; bu! every exertion mus’ br mule In do Ibis.

The sorrow of obtaining ims useless outward grief engrosses all the available means of the family, and lhal is expended upon _(hc dead which;' might, with caretu management, have kept the living troni starving. O, vanity of Vanities! Ibere no fully on earth that exceeds the vanity 0' till; ' '! nere are manypersons who pul on their (tnei when they pul on their mourning, and 11 is a miserable satire on mankind to see Djosp aombre-clad being* in festive halls mingling wiih the gay and happy, (heir mel ancholy garments offordiog a painful con irasi to high laughter and eyes sparkling with pleasure.

To mourners we would say Weep on; nature requires your teats. They ate sent in mercy by him who wept at the grave of h)s friend Lozarus, The man of sorrows himself taught ua lo weep. We once heard a very volatile young la dy exclaim with something very like glee in her look and tope, after reading a letter she had received by the post, with its ominous black bordering seal:— “Grandmamma is dead ! We shall have to go into deep mourning. lam so glad, for black is so becoming to me.” An old aunt who was present, expressed her surprise at this indecorous avowal, when the young lady replied with great naviette.; — “I never saw grandmamma in my life. I cannot be expected to feel any grief for her death,” “Perhaps not," said the aunf, “Bui whv, I hen, make a show of that you do not feel 7” "0, it is the custom of tho world. You know we must. ft would be considered shocking not to go into deep mourning for such a neai relation.” The young lady inherited a very nice leg acy, too, from her grandmamma ; and had she spoken the truth,, she would haveaa.d, I cannot weep for you. Her mourning, in consequence, was of'lhc deepest and most expensive kind; and she really did look charming in her “/one of a block crape bonnet !" as she skipped before the glass admiring herself in it, when it came fresh from the milliner’s. In contrast to the pretty young heiress, we know a sweet orphan girl whose grief for the death of her mother, to whom she was devotedly attached, lay deeper than Ihe hol low tinsel show, and yet the painful thought that she was too poor to pay ihis mark of respect to the memory of her beloved parent, in a manner suited to her birth and station, added greatly to the poignancy of her sor row. A family who bad long been burtbened with a cross old aunt, who was a martyr to rheumatic gout, and whose violent temper jtept the whole house in awe, and whom they dared not offend for fear of her leaving her whole wealth to strangers, were in the habit of devoutly wishing the old lady a happy re lease from her sufferings; When this long anticipated event at length look .place, Ihe very servants were put in the deepest mourn ing. What a solemn farce —we should say lie—was (his 7 The daughters of a wealthy farmer had prepared every thing to attend the great agri culiural provincial show. Unfortunately a grandfather, to whom they had seemed great ly attached, died most inconveniently the day before, and as they seldom kept ihe body in Canada over the second day, he Was bur ied early in ibe morning of ihe one appoint ed for their journey. They attended the re mains to the grave, but after the funeral was over they put off their black garments and started for the show, and did not resume them until after their return. People may think this very shocking, but it was not the laying aside of the black that was so, but the fact of their being able to go from a grave to a scene of confusion and gaiety. The black clothes bad nothing to do with this wan L-of feeling, which would have remained the same under a black or a scarlet vestment. A gen tleman in this neighborhood, since dead, who attended a public ball the same week that he had seen a lovely child consigned lo the earth, would have remained the same heart less parent dressed in the deepest sables. No instance that 1 have narrated of the bnsiness-like manner in which Canadians treat death, is more ridiculous than the fol lowing The wife of a rich mechanic had a broth er lying, it was supposed, at the point of death. His sister sent a nolo lo mef request ing me to relinquish an engagement I had made with a sewing girl, in her favor,,as she wanted her immediately to make,her mourn ing, (he doctor having told her that her broth er could not lire many days. “Mrs ■*— is going to be beforehand with death,” 1 said, as I gave Ihe the desir ed release, “I have known instances of per sons being to late with their mourning to at tend a funeral, but this is the first time I ever heard of its being made in anticipation.” After a week the girl returned to her for mer employment. “Well, Anne, is Mr dead ?” “No, ma’am, nor likely to die this time, and his sister is so vexed that she' bought such an expensive mourning, and all for qo purpose !” The brother of this provident lady is alive to this day, the husband of a very pretty wife, and the father of a. family, while she, poor body had been, consigned to the grave for more than litre? years. . , ( f j . During her own dying lllnes? a little.gtrl 1 greatly disturbed her sick mother with the poise she made.

I heard from every one that called upon Mrs. L , the relative and (rieod with whom t was slaying, of the magnificent fun eral (hat would be given to Miss C . Ah! little heeded that pale crushed flowers of yesterday, the pomp that was to convey her from the hot bed of luxury to the cold, damp vault of St, Giles’melancholy-looking dhurch. I stood at Mrs. L ’s window, which commanded a view of thb whole square, to watch the procession pass up Russell street to the place of interment. The morning was intensely cold, and large snow flakes fell lazily and heavily (o the earth. The poor, dingy sparrows, with their feathers ruf fled up, hopped mournfully along the pave ment in search of food ; they, “Id spite of all tbeir feathers were a'oold.” The mutes that attended the long tine of mourning coaches stood motionless, leaning on their long staffs, wreathed with white, like so many figures that the frost king had stiffened into stone. The hearse, with its snowy plumes, drawn by six milk-white hor ses, might have served for the regal car of his northern majesty, so ghost like and chilly were its sculptural trappings. At length the coflin with black velvet, and a pall lined with while silk and fringed with silver, was borne from the house, and deposited in the gloomy depth of (he Stately hearse. The Aired mourners in their suble dresses and long white hat bands and scarfs, rode slowly for ward, mounted on white horses, to attend (his bride of death to her last resting place. The first three carriages that followed con- Um'mJ tKo family JUid 8 clergyman, and the male servants of (he house, in deep sables. The family carriage, too, was there, but empty , and a procession , in which one hundred and forty-five private carriages made a conspicuous show, all but those enumerated above were empty. Stran gers drove strange horses to that vast funer al, and hired servants were the only mem bers of the family that conducted the last scion of that family to the grave. Truly it was the most dismal spectacle we ever witnessed, and we turned from it sick at heart, and with eyes moist with tears—not shed for the dead, for she had escaped from this vexatious Vanity, but from the heartless mockery qf'all this fictitious woe. '■ The expense of such a funeral probably involved many hundred pounds, Which hatj been belter bestowed on charitable purposes. Another evil arising out of ’(his Absurd custom, is the high price attached to black clothing, on account of the necessity thaf compels people to wear it for so long a peri od a Tier the death of a near relation, making it a matter of still greater difficulty for the poorer class to comply with the usages of society. A Case. —Not many years ago, a citizen of this Boro’ was elected lo the office ofCon stable. After his election it was discovered thal he could not enier upon the discharge o( his official duties for the reason that he was not a freeholder. To remedy this diffictllly a philanthropic fire Company’ of which, it seems, the officer elect was a member, deeded to him a piece of ground, about three feet by four, near their engine house, with the under* standing that the ground was to revert bach lo the company ns soon as the officer should be* come a private citizen again. Of course this act was orompted by hindness only, as no con sideration was given for the “freehold” -But “white man mighty unsarlin," said Mr. Snows itt, and we must record another evi* dene of the correctness of the remark. A few dayd ago the same fire company received notice lo close the door of their engine house, Which opened upon this piece of ground, ns said piece of grbund had' been purchased by a gentleman for the sum of five dollars from the ouondam officer!

There are people in the world who are short sighted enough to believe that their interest can be best promoted by grasping and clinging to all they can get, and never letting a cent slip through their fingers. As a general thing, it will be found—other things being equal—that he who is the most liberal is most successful in business. Of course, we do not mean to be inferred that a man should be prodigal in his expenditures; but (bat be should show to his customers, if ho is a trader, or to those whom he may be doing any kind of business with, that, in all bis transactions, as well as social relations, he acknowledges the everlasting fact, that there can be no permanent prosperity or good feeling in a community where benefits are not reciprocal. We know of instances where traders have enjoyed the profits of hundreds of dollars worth of \niP, and yet have exhibited not (he slightest disposition to reciprocate even to the smallest amount, NoW, what must nec essarily follow from such a course ? Why, the loss of large profits per annum in the loss of trade, .which, under a more liberal system, mighi have been retained.. The practice of some then seems to he to make as little show in (he. way of business as possible. Such a one, if a trader, takes iio pains with the appearance of his store. Everything around him is in a worn out, di lapidated, dirty condition. To have it other wise it would cost a dollar fur whitewash, and perhaps five fur painting, and a few dol lars besides for cleaning up autopolling things' in order. And so he plods on and loses hun dreds of dollars’ worth of custom for the want of attention to these matters, while bis more sagacious neighbor, keeping up with the limes, and having an eye to eppeersnee, does s prosperous business.

YonUo Sam at his Meais. —Among the statuary at the Palace, there is a group in maible or plaster, by Jones, of London, la belled “Ptolemy Lagos, nourished by- an eagle." The bird is represented as in the act of shielding an infant from the cold with its wings, while a bit of something, which might be a date, or some such edible, is being placed in the open mouth of the little fa'low, by the beak of its feathered nurse.

After this period I shall be absent from home so much, T visiting schools in different parts of the county, that teachers would not probably find me if they came. We hope thefe are not many yet to be examined. We have been greatly pleased with the disposition of teachers to avail themselves of every opportunity to improve themselves in the art, the difficult, delicate art of teaching school. In the Institute at KoqXville there were fifty-seven on the roll. At Tioga there were but twelve. At Wells boro’ there were eighty-eight; making one hundred and fifty seven in all. About two thirds of these are practical teachers, who are found in our schools summer or winter, or both. Judging from the sixty or more letters I have had the pleasure of reading from these teachers, I know that these Institutes have been very highly appreciated and promise much, very much good. One of our best teacher* expressed the feelings of the majori ty, when be said, “I feel that 1 can go baok to my school a much better teacher than 1 have ever been before.” Our plan in these Institutes is our own, whatever be its merits or defects. In exam ining the records of many others, we see no reason to change our order of exercise, but only strive to improve them. We feel very grateful to Dr. Cutter of Massachusetts and to Prof. Gaul of Philadelphia for efficient aid, but for want of menus to pay foreign help, we shall roly hereafter mainly on the efficient board of teachers which the academies and some of the Common Schools of (his county afford. “There is no royal road to educa tion,” and there is no palent-righi, stereotyped way to teach school. It is our deliberate con viction that there are teachers male and fe male in the county, possessing as happy fac ulties to illustrate and demonstrate; in short to leach the branches required in our highest common oohoolo, as iho State affords.' We have turned these Institutes far as we could into familiar experience meetings, call irtg out the experience of each teacher to set forth hi* own practice on each topic as they come up, systematicaly", from day to day ; and after we had before us the systems of all the teachers, we have tried to review them impartially, and state the systems evolved by our most experienced teachers and writers on the subject under consideration, after passing over the methods of teaching each particular branch, the subject of school order, manage ment and government has .occupied a promi nenl portion of our thnej The evenings have .generally been given to lectures, general discussions or to essays of the teachers. W 0 believe that these meetings have marked a favorable era for the Common Schools of , this, county. Teachers are waking up to the importance.of knowing their .duties and their rights, and. are rallying in aasocialions for mutual improvement. We will venture (he assertion that every teacher who attends 1 these Institutes will leach a better school than he or she has ever taught betbre—and we would' most respectfully suggest that every teacher, who thinks he or she knows enough about teaching school without embracing theso om) every other available means to im prove, had better leave the profession. The wages AC teachers ore already too high for such. We hope (hat directors will discrimi nate between those teachers who are anxious and pains taking to improve in their profes sion ; snd (hose who (each to get rid of other labor. I enclose the resolutions passed by the Knoxville Institute, as those passed by the Wellsboro' Institute have been furnished you by the Secretary of the meeting.

I think from three to five hundred per cent ‘belter than Tioga having a very dprk colored soil from four to njoe feet deep,.with good water, a sufficient quantity ofodk,sugar maple, ash, elm, hack-berry, asp, codon-wood, butternut and black-waloot for all purposes ; in the line of fruits we have straw berries, goose berries, crab apples, plums and grapes in abundance, the climate is well suited to the growth of apricots, plums, apples, pears, quinces, and smaller garden fruits, besides wheat, rye, barley, oats and corn to very near four limes the quantity per acre ihat can be raised in your section .of the country. In raising melons and pumpkins we are acknowl edged to be “some;” I have seen as many as seventy of the latter growing on one vine. We have In our vicinity many excellent quar ries of limestone, with a far more healthy climate than you are possessed of in your lo cality. Merchandise is afforded here at about ten per cent advance on Wellsboro’ prices; sugar and molasses, in consequence of the river trade is offered at half your prices; coffee and tea at about the same as in your place, while bread and meat are much cheaper and money plemier with wages twice or thrice as high as with you. And now with this scrap of information before them some yet enquire, why don’t you tell as the disadvantages of your country and duelling to iit Well if it be any disadvan tage I must let you know that if you coma with y our own conveyance you will find a road similar to what you are acquainted with until you get to lake Erie, after which you will-have a much .smoother road and plenty of natural grass to feed as many cattle as necessity will require you to bring along, (which feed will be free of cost,) or if you ■wish to come by public conveyance you can have good rail road accommodations to Ga lena or Rock-Island, where you can gel first rate steamboat fare to almost any rpoint on the upper Mississippi. But disadvantage No. 2 is rather more grievous, particularly in gathering our field crops, when single handed we approach a pumpkin that one man can hardly load, (of which we have some grown to (he weight of two hundred and forty pounds,) or when we lay hold of a squash weighing two hundred aftd twenty pounds, we can’t root them op alone but we, change work with our neigh bors and thus lessen the burthen of disad vantage and hope for better limes. If some of ihese truths seem to you im probable you are referred to Hon. Daniel L. Sherwood of Tioga county for testimony. Yours, &c., GEO. HUYLER. “You make the child look like a fool, wife, with all that toggery on him,” said Mr. Fogg, angrily, as they were starting out for a walk. “Dear me,’’ said Mrs. Partington, meet ing them at the door, “what a doll of a ba by, apd hbw much he resembles his papa I” Mr. Fagg coughed, and then passed on. A gentleman meeting his coal merchant, accostedhim with ‘Well my good sir, how are coals!’ ‘lndeed sir,’ he replied, ‘cools are coals!’ now!’ ‘I am glad to hear it,’ returned the gentle man, ‘for the Inst you sent me were half date .’ An Islagisative Irishman' gave utterance to this lamentation :—“I returned tothehalls of my fathers by night, and 1 found them in ruins! I cried aloud, “My fathers, where ore they?” and echo responded, “Isthat you, Puthtick McGtathcry I” A California paper gives the following as the best title to a lot in Sun Francisco: “A shanty, and yourself in it, yith a revolver. If the title needs confirmation blow some: body’s brains out.” “Ain't >cu afraid you’ll break while Tufting so ?” said a chap in the pit of a circus to a clown. Why so I “Because you are a tum bler," replied the wag. The clown fainted. Affection, like the spring, flowers, breaks (brought (he most frozen ground at last ; and the heart which seeks but fur another hear( to make it happy, will never seek in vain. An exchange thinks ii rather embarrassing to lift your, hat (o a lady in the street, for (he sake of politeness, and let a couple of dirty collars roll upon (he sidewalk.
