From time immemorisl, Friday has
been irowned upon as day of i'll omen.
And though this prejudice is less preva-
lent now than it wasof yore, when super.
stition had general sway, yet there are
many, even in this matter of fact age of
ours. who would hesitate on day so in
auspicious to begin an undertaking of mo-
mentous import. How many brave mar
liners, whose hearts unmoved could meet
the widest fury of their ocean home, would
blanch to even bend their sails on Friday
But to show with how little reason this
feeling is indplgeu in, let us note the fol-
lowing facts in our history as nation,
aud see how little reason we Americans
have to dread the fatal day:
On Friday, August 5, 1899, Christie
pher Columbus sailed on his great voyage
Of discovery. On Friday, Oct. II, 1492,
be first discovered land.
On Friday, January 4th, 1893, he sail
ed on his return to Spain, which, if he
had not reached in safety, the happy re-
suit would never have been known which
led to the settlement of this vast CONT
pent.
On Friday, March 10, l4e3, he landed
at Palos in safety
On Friday, November ED, 1493, he
arrived at Hispaniola, on his second voy-
age to America.
On Friday. March 9th. l494, Henry
VII Of England, gave John Cabot his com
mission, which lead to the discovery OF
America. This was the first American
State paper in England.
On Friday, September Z, 1865, Melen-
DEE founded St. Augustine, the oldest set
Element IN the United States by more than
forty years.
On Friday, November 10, 1920, the
Maybe with the Pilgrims, made the
harbor of Proyincetown, and on the same
day signed that august compact, the
forerunner of our present Constitution.
On Friday, December 22. 1890, the
Pilgrims made their final landing at Ply
mouth Rock.
On Friday, February %, 1899, George
Washington the father of American free
dom, was born.
On Friday, June Is, 1875, Bunker Hill
was seized aud fortified.
On Friday, October Z, 1877, the sur
render of Saratoga was made, which had
such power and influence 10 inducing
France to declare for our cause.
On Friday, September 2s, 1880, the
treason of Arnold was laid bare, which
saved US from destruction.
Ga Friday, October l9, 1871, the sur
render of orktown, the browning glory
Of American arms.
On Friday, June 7, l776, the motor
in Congress was made by John Adams
seconded by Richard Henry Lee, that The
United Colonies were, and OF right ough
to be tree aud independent.
Thus by numerous examples We see
that. howeverit may be with other nations
Americans need never dread to begin OF
friday any undertaking no matter how

THE GATE CITY,
Important, Medical Discovery.

Important Medical Discovery.
A Londen correspondent of the Liber.
ator gives this account:
A great discovery is just now engaging
the attention of the scientific and medical
world. Few English names are more ia
miliar to Americans than that of DIR.
John Chapman, once the leading publisher
of heretical books, now editor oft West
minister, and always a devotee of science
and medicine. He is we'll acquainted
with many scientific and literary Ameri-
cans; and many of them, amongst Others
Mr.. Emerson, have resided in his house
when in England. This DR.. Chapman
has been for years engaged in studies and
experiments connected with the nervous
system alone, with such men as DR.. Brown,
Sequard and Claude Bernard, of Paris.
For the last year be has been proving a
tremendous discovery, viz: The cure Of
epilepsy, and many diseases hitherto
deemed incurable, by means of the extsr-
nal application of ice and hot water. In
dia rubber bags. at various parts of the
spinal cord, acting thus upon the sympa-
thetic nerve, and through it upon the
most important and vital regions of
the body. Many eminent physicians have
accompanied DR.. Chapman to see the
marvels which he had wrought upon pa
tients who had long ago despaired of
health. Some physicians, amongst others
DIR. Wilkinson Though homeopathist)
have so recognized the importance of the
discovery as to commit to DR.. Chapman's
care some Of their patients. Cases are
attested where man for six years had
three fits, on an average, daily ; girl
who had two from the ages of thirteen to
seventeen, had been entirely cured by ice
just as wonderful have been the cures of
paralysis. Many of the worst and most
inyeterate female diseases have yielded
to the new cure. The treatment is as
simple as it is grand. Any one who is
troubled by the pressure of the blood on
the brain, will find tina. by holding bag
of ice on the nape OF the neck ten minutes.
at equable flow of blood can be secured.
Those who are troubled with habitual cold
feet may find relief by applying ice to the
small OF the back in the lumbar region.
1t is hard to estimate the importance Of
this discovery, which will ere long be
rahked by the side of that of Jenner.
Several hospitals are already under DR..
Chapman's practice, and, as yet, no one
can bring an instance Of failure.

BETTER LATB THAN NEVER.


Life is race where some succeed,
While others are beginning
'Tis luck at times. at others speed,
That gives an early winning.
But il you chance TO fall behind,
Meier slacken your endeavor,
But keep this wholesome truth in mind,
'Tis better late than never.
If you can keep ahead, It's we'll,
But never trip your neighbor;
'Tis noble when iou can excel
By homes, patient labor;
But il you are oulslripped at last,
Press on as bold as ever
Remember, though you are surpassed,
Ills better late than never.
Meier labor for an idle boast
OF victory DER another
But while YOU strive your uitermosf,
Deal fairly with a broIhs<s~a
Whate'er your station, do your best,
And hold your purpose ever /;
And If you fail to beat the rest,
IT'S better late than never.
Choose well the path in which you run,
Succeed by HobIe daring !;
Then, tho the last, when once Ills won,
Your crown is worth the wearing.
Then never fret il left behind,
Nor siacken your endeavor.
But ever keep this truth in mind
It's better late than never
