Friday.

From time immemorial Friday has been
frowned upon as day Of ill-omen; and,
though this prejudice is less prevalent now
than it has been in days of yore, when super
stitiOn had general sway, yet there are many,
even in this matter-of-fact age of ours, who
would hesitate, Oh day so inauspicious, to
begin an undertaking Of momentous import.
And how many brave mariners, whose hearts
unquailed could meet the widest fury of their
ocean home, would blanch to even bend their
sails on Friday But, to show with how much
reason this feeling is INDUCED, let us examine
the following important facts in connection
with our own settlement and greatness as a ma
ton, and we will see how little cause we
Americans have to dread this fatal day:
On Friday, August Sd, 1892, Christopher
Columbus sailed on his great voyage of dis
covery
On Friday, October 18th, 1892, he first dis
covered land
On Friday, January 4th, 1893, he sailed on
his return to Spain, which, if he had not
reached in safety, the happy result which led
to the settlement of this vast continent would
never have been known.
On Friday, March 18th, 1893, he arrived
safely at Palos.
On Friday, November 22d, 1902, he arrived
at Hispaniola on his second voyage to
America.
On Friday, June 18th, 1894, he, though uu-
known to himself, discovered the continent OF
America.
On Friday, March 5th, 1896, Henry VII. of
!, England gave to John Cabot his commission,
: which led to the discovery OF North America.
This is the first American state paper OF Eng
land.
1 On Friday, September 7th, 1884, Melendez
founded st. Augustine-the oldest settlement
Y in the United States by more than forty years.
r On Friday, November 10th, 1920, the, May,
9 f0lcer, with the Pilgrims, made the harbor OF
t Provincetown; and on the same day was signed
t that august compact, the forerunner OF our
e present glorious Constitution.
e On Friday, December 22d, 1920, the Pilgrims
It made their final landinig on Plymouth rock.
is On Friday, February %, 1892 George
a Washington the father of American freedom,
d was born.
h On Friday, June 10th, l775, Bunker Hill
e was seized and fortified.
3 On Friday, June 7th, 1776, in Congress, 8
motion was made by John Adams, seconded
ir by Richard Henry Lee, that the United
r Colonies were, and of right ought to be, tre'
G. and independent.
t. On Friday, October 7th, l777, the surende'
lg at Saratoga was made, which had such power
a full influence in inducing France to declare fo
e. our cause.
: On Friday, September 22d, 1880, the Treason
" of Arnold was laid bare, which saved us from
i'll destruction.
u On Friday, October 10th, 1881, occurred tn
E. surrender of Yorktown-the crowning glory Q
OF the American arms.
IN Thus, by numerous examples, we see that
ed however it may he with other nations, Ameri
te cans need never dread to begin any under
ne taking on Friday, however momentous or In
an portant it may be.
