Concerning Mourning Apparrel.
I certainly have, no scitiples of conscience
about it ; and I hold myself at liberty to
consult the wishes of friends, or other oir
communes, though I should not consult
my own feelings and wishes, in the (mane.
ional adoption of the custom. The truth is.
these trappings of grief seem to me Willer
en; and childish where there is real grief,
mad where there la not they a are mockery.
If the mourning garb were of a coarser tex
ture, like the ancient sackcloth, there might
be something perhaps to plead for its in
trinsic fitness ; but, as it is, it differs from
another garb only in the color, and strati
fies the pride of appearance, the love of
dress, scarcely less then any other appar
el. Besides, if any color were to be selec
tied. black would seem to be most of all un
fit for a Christian people. The cypress
shade, night and darkness, were fit objects
and images to be connected with death a;
mong those who '.sat in the region and
shadow of death ," "who mourned as ha
ving no hope." But Christians are for
bid to mourn as they did. Among us, the ,
while used by the . Chinese, in token of'
their hope that the dead had gone to .a pu
rer world, would seem to be a fitter em
blem ; or the blue of the Turks.,es repro`
seining the sky, whither they hope their,
fronds have gone.; or evnn.the drown of
I the Ethiopians, enoting the color et the
earth to which we return or the yellow
' of the Egyptian, likening the decay of life
to the seared leaf of autumn. . ,

ed victims of affliction brought forth to be
dressed as pageants, and harassed with
inquiries about mourning gowns and bon
nets, or heard intermingled with their
sighs and tears, paltry and vain discussions
about the adjustment of mourning caps and
ribande—who, I say, has not felt that ail
this is inconvenient, ill-tinted. and unbe
coming, beyond what any force of lan
guage can express ?
But the greatest objection, after all, to
the use of mourning apparel is the expense.
That the expense presses heavily upon
the poor is a matter very well known, and,
I believe, very generally regretted. But
this, is not all: at presses heavily upon,the
body of the community. None but die

A ,FAITHFUL OLD HORSE.
A lady-friend not a thousand miles from
Gothero. relates the following, which has
struck us, rightly .conaidered, as posses
sing au element of the:pathetic in no or
dinary degree: •
An old horse, that bid served his mast
er faithildlY for some 25 .ears, was sold
to a drover from one of the Long Island
Sound villages near Nor Haven, and tak
, en to that n16101114)1 town for shipnient to .
the Westindies. As the' old fellow went
sway, in new hatidi,le seemed to have a '
kind of instinctive presentiment that
return he
was to retu no mote. He cast "Many , I
• a ' longing, lingering - look behind." and ,
whinnied his
apptrehentins so affectingly
that his old owner atm it' relented, and,
but for seeming childish, he tiould have
followed and revoked the bargain—a
. course which hischildren, who were watch
ing the old horse depart, strenuously urged
him to adopt. Ile disappeared, however,
with hie new master, and soon .after, inr l
company with a large drove of other hors
es, he was placed on board a vessel which. '
one afternoon in March, set sail rrein New
Haven for the West ladies. The vessel
had hardly reached the open Sound, at
night-fall, before a storm began to "brew,"
which by nine o'clock became so violent
that the safety of the ship, captain, and
crew was placed in imminent jeopardy...-.
The crafrlabored so heavily that it: was
(mind necessary to throw over much of the
live freight, which greatly encumbered the
deck. 'The oldest' and least valuablebors.

feel great confidence in reuommendingittet

give my views of the character skid effica
cy of lime, as a manure. I will mate to
the first place, that the use of this /worn
is so imperfectly understclod, as welts 4
the office which it perferme; that it is .pro ms
per to place it in a practical form;
Lime forms a constituent pan tif soma
grains such as wheat and rye..se is miaow
tained by chemical analysis ; and where
no hale exists in the soil, the crop becomes
sickly and imperfect. But in tiaostregei_
tables it is a inure decomposer tit the se..
getable matter in the soil, furnishing by
this. means a constant nutriment to the%
plant. This, at once, explains the reason).
why light soil, containing but little vege
ble matter, requires less lime, than that
which is more strongly impregnated. 1!
have tested this in various ways, and on I
variety of soils, and every , experintent
confirms its truth. If 1 were-to put one,
handred bushels of lime upon an a acre of ..
• poor soil, 1 an, certain I should raise no.
crop-for two or three years, fur the -simple
reason that there would hot be sufficient
vegetable matter for the lime to ar.t, &mita •

process shall have taken place, It willprot.
duce in abundance. Twenty or thirty
bushels to the. acre, for the drat dreading
is suffieient. It plainly fellows from sting
has been said, that a different sod, deepl*
impregnated with vegetable mould, *ill
bear a much larger quantity of lime. For.
such land, one hundred bushels to the eat
is not a large quantity. I would not ex
ceed that quantity upon any land, but for
the first dressing ,would graduate it trout
twenty to : one hundred, according to. the
nature of the
Now as to the mode of its application..
Generally, it is put upon a ploughed field,
in heaps; anti spread, and afterwards plow
ed tinder. I regard this as a must pernicious
mode of liming. In the first place, the
spots Where the heaps are, receive_ um
large a quantity, anti in the next place by
plowing it under, the lime gets tou-deep
to act successfully upon the vegetable tgat
ter in the soil--consequently its beneficial
effect is lust. Lime is heavy and its ten
dency is to sink. The great object is to
keep it as near the surface as possible. For
several years I have adopted the method
of spreading it upon the sod, and this fur ,
lushes the most successful mode of rents ,
vating an old meadow. It is spread front
the wagon, and it requires but little eta
perience to graduate the quantity accord-, .
ing to your wish. In a short time the
lime sinks into the spongy sod, and ,tie
composes all dead vegetable matters,Whielt
at the same time nourishes the roots of die.
grass and causes the Mimes to spring up
with extraordinary vigor. I have had old,
meadows double their usual quantity. .4,
hay the first year after this process.
Then again, WiloH you desire to plimth
the same meadow, the lime having intik :
into the sod is still upon the. surfuce t and
ready to act as a decomposer of the titid p ,
and manure in rase the laud should requite
it. If the ground should be left in Mea
dow, it will be found that successive crepe
of grass.will be greatly increased.
