Popular Superstitions.

The moon has much to answer for
in the fortunes and misfOrtunes of SUI
perstitious people. There are, to this
day, those who will not butcher pigs
while the moon is waning, lest the
pork should shrink in boiling; nor
plant seeds in. the "down sign,"
lest they should not come up. People
will look at the, profile Of the new
moon and pronounce oracuiarly
whether the mouth is to be dry or wet.
A certain magical Importance is given
to the state of the weather when the
moon changes :" that is to say, when
the almanac marks the quarter, as if
the moon were not changing all the
time. In small and primitive sea-
port towns it is verify believed that
while the tide is rising a sick person
can, not die, and that sIite will not go
till it ebbs out with the tide. To re-
vert again to the moon, the word
iunatic," of universal application to
Insane persons, is only potter form
of moon-struck, the moon having once
held answer for all dementia. Herbs
f3r medical purposes were once gath
cred with great care, ut certain times
in the moons age. Southey, in one OF
his books, has preserved an account of
an ancient a superstition, viz: that
warts on the hands could be cured by
washing them in the moonshine in q
silver basin that is, going, through
the form of washing without water
in the moonlight, and speaking of
warts and excrescences recalls the
fact that to this day many people will
affirm that they had warts removed
by "powwowing," which means the
rnuttering of some senseless jargon
over them. TOO '.t-'I p ~

Incorporate Confessions.

al President Hopkins, of William Col!
lege, is thoroughly good and greatly
loved, and he is stately and dignifed
old gentleman withal. All these ex-
cellent qualities added a quaint effect
of contrast to the suddenness of the
following answer which the, worthy
president once received, and which IL
illustrates the principle that ''ridicule-
is the test of truth In the railroad
cars one day the President deserted
one of his students, a youth of regret
table habits in point of dissipation,
and wearing at that moment the hag-
gard and dishcvelled looks of one not
yet over the effects of hard debauch.
Stepping up to the young man, looking
him sternly yet sadly in the face, the
president said in deep and impress
sivetpne: II
'sBeen on a drunk!''
$50 have 1, was the answer.
Those confessions, however, do not
imply anything inconsistent with a
right belief about intemperance. The
following, fheEever, does: A we'll
known physician in one of our large
cities was walking one evening, when
coming up behind rather forlorn-
looking couple, he perceived that they
were jan Cling about something; and as
he passed Tie husband reproved what
had evidently been some expression of
repining on the part of the wife, in the
following terse though morally I'M
sound propositions:
"You was drunk yesterday, and you
was drunk day before yesterday, and l
should like to know what more you
could have unless was a hangel in
heaven!"-GaLary Cqub-ROon, for
HpriE.

We Are All Sinners.


There is no man that lives vhS sdoes
not sin. There is no man who lives
that cannot be made to 'si1,. All semen
cannot be made to Gin in tkesaA6e way.
Some men cannot be, made ITO vsin by
meat and drink.-0ther can. And of
those who cannot be made to sin by
meat aud drlnk, soma gamble paa2e to
sin by temptations Of moneys There
is many and many o man whose
morals are pure enough, - but
whose avarice is as intense as q furnace
of fire; and he might be made to sin
there. He might not at one,. two or
three degrees, but he might at. twenty
or thirty degrees. Some are fusible at
allow temperature, like lead, and 9TH
ers require the. compound blowlpipe
to fuse TENN; but there is. no man who
cannot be fused at some point. Some
may be warped by their sympathies
and affections who could not by their
pride. But though one might not be
toppled over by pride. he might by
vanity. And though one might, net be
made to yield l,y vanity shb iad9M he
led into compliance by ,beneYolence
and gentleness and good will Some
men can be overc ome.in one way, and
some In another. Somewhere or other
there is joint in the harness through
which the arrow could go. The impi-
cation is that every man is temptable,
and that no man, being tempted, has
power to cure himself.-H. w BeecIaer.
