par erceLLence, the black letter day of the
seven, and it is astonishing how general is
the prejudice against that day. Farmers
dislike the day for all their operations :

day is rarely, if ever a wedding day, in any
class of society. How bride would shrink
with horror from the proposal to be married
on Friday Yet, as if to show mankind
how ridiculous are these kind of prejudices,
history can prove tLat Friday has been the
most fortunate day i'll the national calender
OF the United States of America. A few
