OLD-TIME FUNERALS. An old-time country funeral was an occasion of no ordinary importance. A simple service of song and prayer was usually held at the grave, but the regular funeral sermon was preached at a place and time duly appointed and widely advertised, weeks, and often months after the burial. When a man's wife died, the accepted code of etiquette prohibited him from showing any signs of a disposition to make other matrimonial arrangements for the future, till after the funeral of his lam...ented companion. When a woman lost her husband, she disgraced herself if she received any attentions at all from the sterner sex, before the funeral. The period between the burial and the funeral was a season of mourning, and society would not tolerate anything re- motely resembling a courtship in either widows or wid- owers during that time. On tins account, there were probably cases in which precocious relicts lamented the customary delay of such memorial services cpiite as much as the original bereavement.
