MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY s, 1858.
SUPERSTITION.


We meet with the following paragraph in
an exchange We know not to whose credit
it 10 due:
ais FRIDAY AN 'UNLUcKY DAY The Year
1858 begins and Gods uu Friday. January,
April, July. October, and December have
Eve Fridays, each. April and December end
on Friday. aud January and October begin on
Friday. There are SO Fridays 10 the year.
We trust, however. it will not prove more dis
astrous than 1857"
Some author, weknow not v hum. cay the! Q
il a certain degree Of superstition lying at
the bottom of every human breast, unknown.
frequently, even to the subject Ut it. We
quote the substance not the words w" be-
lieve there ia truth in this statement. Eirly
education, habit, the conversation of servants
in childhood, are almost sure t. generate
certain degree of superstition OF which the
mature understanding never gets entirely rid,
although it may be convinced OF Its folly
The grown man does not teieve in it. when
be can bring his reason to bear upon 1t, and
yet, by some strange process OF its own, it
has an io6uence upon his actions in spite Of
his reason. There are. for instance, few sen
sible men of the present day who believe in
spparitions. No man has seen ghost him
self, or known anybody else that has seen
one. Yet few men, even toe boldest, care to
ride by a grave yard at midnight, or can
b, induced by any circumstance to sleep
all night in a lonely country church, or a
lonely house that had the reputation of being
haunted, if he can get lodgings half as good
any where 10 the neighborbood. He may
laugh at superstition, and it's follies in the
light Of day, but, we say, he prefers to sleep
in come house that has good reputation.
OF all the unscknowledged superstltions,
extsnt, the most wide spread we believe that
to be, to whichsbe paragraph above quoted
alludes. We have met With hundreds OF
persons in our day, many OF them we'll edu-
Gated enlightened persons-most OF them
men not at all addicted to superstitious prac-
tices-who have felt an instructive aversion
to commencing an enterprise, or beginning
journey on Fridy. They know that, in point
of fact, it is as good as any other day, yet
there is something lurking 10 the mind that
Restraints them 10 spite Of themselves. FRI
day is an uulucky dsy-it is haug-man's day
it has bad name-ssilors do not like to 60
to sea on Friday. All these things cross .
mans mind and overwhelm his reason, in spite
of it's resistance. No man was ever married
on Friday, and no lady gives ball on Friday,
unless in return for another ball.
What is the reason Friday has such bad
nsmef Is it because it was the day on which
our Saviour was cruci6ed? We know not,
we are sure, but bad name it certainly has.

A STORY OF WATERLOO.

The world has been listening for years to
stories Of Waterloo, the scene OF the last great
action of Napoleon. but it would seem like n
certain commodity long since familiar to our
readers "that there are few more ct the
same sort left"
An individual who owned q small tavern
near the eventful field, was frequently ques-
toned 40 to whether be did not possess some
relics OF the battle, and as invariably ard bon
estly answered in the negative. But be was
very poor, and one day while lamennng to
neigbbor not onl y,his poverty. but the annoy
ance to which travellers subjected bim, bis
frier ds cut him short with:
well, make one help The other. Make
some relics"
bot what can l d.? inquired the poor
man.
"Tell them that Napoleon or Wellih gton
entered your shop during the battle, and ss'
down on that chair"
Not long after 40 English tourist entered,
and euquiring for relics, WAS told the chair
story. The chat. was bought at an incredl-
BILE price. The next conner was informed that
Wellington had taken drink, and the "We!-
inpton tumbler" was accordingly Sold
Tue third arrival gszed with breathless Won
der at the nail on which Bonaparte had hung
his hat" The fourth purchased the door
posts between which he entered; and the nth
became the happy purchaser OF the floor On
which he had troden.
Attic last advices the fortunate tavern,
keeper had not a roof to cover his head. and
was sitting on bag Of gold in the ce ntre OF
deep pit, formed by selling the dirt on which
the bouse had stood!
