DoNT STAY LATE To-N1aHT

The hearth OF home is heaming,
With rays Of rosy light,
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
As fall the shades Of nlghts- ~
And while thy steps are lel Wing
The circle pure and bright,
A tender voice half grieving
Says, Don't stay late Tonight
The world IN which thou movest
Is busy, brave and wide
The world or her thou lowest
Is ct the ingle side;
She waits for the warm greeting.
Thy smile is her delight;
her gentle voice entreaung,
Says, Don't stay late tonight"
The world, 50 cold, inhuman,
z VIII spurn thee II thou fall:
The love Of one poor woman
outlasts and shames them all
Thy children will cling around thee,
Let fate be dark or bright.
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then "DOut stay late tonight"

SuDerstitiOnS,

There are men, aye, and women too,
who still cling with the utmost tenaCity
and bull-headedness to long exploded
theories of the effects of the supernatu-
raj, and believe implicitly as they do in
heaven that mysterious causes control
the affairs of life, despite all of educa-
ton and enlightenment and the repeated
sweeping away of these cobWebs of the
brain.
1t is a common belief that the moon
exercises q marked control upon veget-
able matter: that those growing above
the ground must be sowed in the light,
and those to mature beneath the soil in
the dark of the "silver orb" when III
fact the time of planting has no more to
do with a successful yield than it has
with the growth of rocks. Given 4 good
soil, proper cultivation, freedom from
weeds and plenty of food, and they will
produce a bountiful return despite such
ioundationless superstitions, and the cold
man" the children are wont to discover
will laugh at the idea rs the yeriest
mOonshinel
With sailors such things are very COM
mon. A horseshoe must be nailed to
the heel of the fOremast; a ship must
never have its keel laid or be launched
or sail on Friday; the Sabbath is a lucky
time for leaving port; killing black cat
on board will produce terrible storms, if
not shipwrecks; a minister among the
passengers is a bad omen; rats will leave
ship about to be lost; sharks will fol-
low a ship if there is to be death on
board, and so on through a thousand
variations.
"Haunted" houses are SO common as
to be scarcely worth the mentioning.
Every locality has at least one, and
village lacking this exquisite topic for
gossip is to be pitied. The
old belief that the head must lie to the
east, and the doors and windows opened
for the passage of the spirit (after Ieav-
ing the body) is not altogether abolished,
and the senseless superstition that no
one can die upon feathers, certainly not
if any of them are from wild birds, has
its advocates.
Don't kill toad! 1t will make the
cows give bloody milk, is asserted by
many who should know better and yet
it would puzzle the most profound phi
losOphers to trace the Connecting linkn
between the batrachian (even though of
the geniaes 5rgo) and the bovine. If
the butter don't come easily, drop a red
hot horse shoe into the churn, and sing
+brn your nose, burn your nose, and
some old witch's probOscis will suffer
and your labor be made easy! Don't
cut the nails of young child; it will
make a thief of it! Don't look at the
new moon over your left shoulder; it is
very unlucky.
To repeat even a hundredth part of
the floating superstitions would fill an
entire paper. Some people, ancient
DANES especially, have "sign" for every
thing, or rather make of everything a
sign" Strange how the relics of witch
craft have endured the light Of centuries;
how education and science and religion
have not been able to Danish them how
such intangible things as ghosts and
"spoeks" and dreams Influence the lives
OF those who are looked upon as sane;
how age doats upon them and children
are taught

and this we presume is the reason why
women find their fortunes predicted by
the grounds at the bottom of the cup!
It is high time such nonsense was
banished, and forever. They belong to
unlettered age, and should not be- tol-
Grated in the present. The mother who
permits her child to hear such rubbish
is not fit for her place, and the nurse
who retails it ought to be sent TO the
Pillory. We earnestly protest against it
in these days of a higher civilization

Don't let your children's mindsbe stained

yourself a fool by advocating it.
