mas- In many Of the old towns and
villages IN Europe, the ancient supersti-
tions still exist, and are believed in as
religiously in this day of enlightenment
and progress as they were an hundred
years ago. "The fi flowing gross case in
point, which occurred recently in mar.
ket town in the north Of Devon, is rela-
ted BY an eyewitness A young woman,
living in the neighborhood of Holsworthv
having periodical fits of illness, endeav-
ored to effect cure by attendance at
the afternoon service at the parish church
accompanied by thirty young men, her
near neighbors. Service over, she sat
in the porch of the church, and each of
the young men, as they passed out in
succession, dropped penny into her
lap ;; but the last, instead of a penny,
gave her half-crown, taking from her
the twenty-nine pennies which she had
previously received With this half
crown in her hand, she walked three
times around the communion table, and
afterwards had it made into n ring, BY
the wearing of which she believes she
will recover health.

A WISE LANDLoRp.-One night, a
Judge, military officer, and a priest, all
applied for lodging at an inn where there
was but one spare bed, and the landlord
was called upon to decide which had the
better claim Of the three.

rlson at b." said the officer.
II have sat as Judge twenty years at
R." said the Judge.
with your leave gentlemen, | have
stood in the ministry for twenty five years

"That settles the dispute" said toe
landlord. ''You, Mr.. Captain, have lain

twenty years; but the aged pastor has
stood FIVE and twenty years; SO, he GER

sa5" Fashion, says the Fufllo Reppb-
pubic, plays some queer freaks with its
wand. The last innovation is, we be.
lieve, the using Of the middle name and
dropping the first and "chrislcn" index.
For instance, Jones, wh, always was
distinguished in bis younger DAYS bv
plain John D, or Jack" has concluded
that appellation to be "vulgaw," and is
now known as J. Daw Jones, more ap-
proprlate TO be given in full, and would
doubtless be most correct index to the
fellow. Peter G. jenkins has become
convinced that Peter is too homelv a
cognomen for one who walks 50 hich in
arlstocratic circles. and brings him too
much on u level with the common herd !;
he therefore now plumes himself P.
Green Jenkins. Just so with Isaac G..
Bacon; all the fellows are making the
change, and he cannot see how he can
keep IN good standing at the club, and
not join in the revolution, away goes the
Isaac, and |. Cooke Bacon is engraved
upon his card. So goes the new mania,
