THE FRIDAY SUPERSTITION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In the last Sunday number of the HERALD. under
tho above title, observe letter written by W. I.
Matthews. who quotes passage from Chaucer's
knights Tale" in confirmation of the superstition.
With sailors this Friday superstition is common at
the present day. Hence arise objections to sailing
on Friday or launching vessels. 1t seems to be
so engrafted on the minds Of seafaring men that
nothing but the advance Of education ever up
root il. Mr.. Matthews letter is intended TO show
that the Friday superstition was Older than the sail
ing OF Columbus for the West, and as remember the
language of poet who wrote several centuries be-
fore Chaucer, l will here transcribe some lines
from virgls 'Gcorgics." Book l. 276:-
Ipsa dies altos aiio dcdit ordno Luna
Fclices operun- Quintam fuge; pallidus Orcus
Eumenidssque sate; tum partu Terra nefando
Cteumque lapetumque croat sievum que Typhoeas
Et conjuratos curlum rescinders fratres.
The ancicnts supcrstitiously thought that some
days of the month were lucky and others unlucky,
tho 18th q happy day. tho 9th lucky
for travel &c. ''Avoid the hfth," they said.
which corresponds to our Friday. The reason
Is that palo Orcus and tho Furies then
born, as also the notabilities Tisiphone, Megmras
and Alecto and the cruel Typh1a the giant sons OF
Titan aud Terra, who attempted to scale the skies
and dcthrone the Gods. The conspiring brothers
Included the whole fraternity engaged In the enter
prise This all written before the Christian era
but tho superstition has continued to this time by
reason Of the Roman Catholic profession Keeping
that day sacred the day of the crucixion Of our
Saviour. Thereby 1t has been and will be for many
century, superstition to Friday that 1t IL day
In the week unlucky for the commencement Of an~
enterprise connected with tho otherwise.

tered the room. The young girl looked at him re-
proachfuny through her tears and accused HIM of
