SUPERsTTuoNs OF GREAT MEN.-Most great
men have been superstitious. The courier
bringing a letter from England in which the
death of his old physician Polidori, was stated,
Lord Byron remarked--"I was convinced some
thing unpleasant hung over me last night; |
expected to hear that somebody | knew was
dead; so it turns out. Scott believes in second
sight; Rousseau tried whether he would be
damned or not by aiming at a tree with stone
Goethe trusted to the chance of knife's strik
ing the water whether he was to succeed il
some undertaking; Swift placed the success Of
his life on the drawing of a trout, he had hooked
out of the water" Byron on another occasion
Observed" Several extraordinary things have
happened on my birthday; so they did to Napo-
leon and more wonderful thing occurred to
Marie Antoinette. At my wedding something
whispered to me that was signing my death
warrant At the last moment would have re-
treated if l could have done 50. | am great
believer in presentiments Socrates demon was
no fiction; Monk Louis had his monitor, and
Bonapart, many warnings" Byron had also n
belief in unlucky days. lie once refused to be
introduced to lady because it was on Friday
On the same ill-starred day he would never pay
visits.
