SOMETHING ABOUT BABIES.
English Superstition of Newborn
Infants-Ihe Grooming Cake

According to Yorkshire notion, new
born infant should be laid first in the arms
of maiden before any one touches it; and
in some places the infants right hand is eft
unwashed in order that he may gather riches,
1t is, too, considered very important by
many that an fnfant should go up in the
world before it goes down. Thus in Clesve-
land, says MIR. Henderson, if child should
be born in the top story of house, for
want of a flight OF stairs one of the gossips
will take it in her arms and mount table,
chair, or chest of drawers before she carries
II down stairs. La the north of England,
when an infant for the first time goes out of
the no Sc, tits presented with an egg, some
salt and little loaf of bread, and oc ssion-
ally n small piece Of money these gifts be-
ing supposed to insure that the child shall
never stand in need of the common necessa.
RIGS f life. Ia the East Riding of Yorkshire, a
few matches are added to light the child to
heaven. II was, too, in former times, Gus
tomSry, and the practice is not We, obsolete,
to provide a large cheese and cake and cut
them at the birth Of the child. These were
called 'the grooming cake and cheese" and
were distributed among all the neighbors.
In Yorkshire this cake is termed the "pep.
per cake" 1t is the source of species of
divlnition, for, being cut into small pieces by
the medical man, it is divided among the un
married Of the female sex, under the meme
of "dreaning bread" Each one kes a
piece, places it in tho foot of the left stock
inc srl thrntvs n ,,nr tho ric,ht shn,,ldnr
This being done, they must retire to bed
backwards, without uttering word, and
those who are lucky enough to fall asleep
before miinieht aro fyo'ed with q sight Of
their future husband in their dreams.

PEEP INTO THE PREACHERS MEETING


1t was Wednesday morning when your
correspondent dropped in. Roberts of Mt.
Holly in the chair. Question for discussion
Capital Punishment" c. f. Smith, after
considerable pleasant bantering, opened the
debate was opposed 10 the death penalty,
thought it was not warranted by Christ's
teachings, and exerted no restraining inhu-
ence, as it decreased the probabilities of con-
viction it stood upon the same footing as
war, and was only justifable in self-defence.
Mr.. Smith concluded by telling the story of
the lrishman who was given the liberty 10
choose the tree from which to swing and
promptly named the goosebery. When the
judge protested that it was not large enough.
his ready reply was "And it is no matter at
all, yer honor, as can wait for il TO grow. ="
T. L. Frost told another story, and then
pitched into the late political triumvirate and
handled it without gloves He thought il the
ring or machine, the miserable ungodly ele.
ment in politics, was 10 predominant, capital
punishment would be a necessity. After ALL
he could not fully endorse it. Culver was
decided in his opposition. We had no bust
ness to take Gods prerogative out Of his
hands. He did not want to die for somebody
else, or to deter somebody from committing
crime. Markham was opposed to this promis-
cuous hanging; the whole thing was repug-
hhhI W MS very nature. hODertS thought II
very singular that If this is an underlying
principle in Gods government, that He did
not hang Cain; thought the man who tied
the rope around the criminals neck was gull
ty of murder. Enright believed in hanging
would rather see one man hung than a dozen
killed. SWEET, Bartlett and Clayton were also
in favor of the swinging process The dis
cussion was interpreted with witticism and
pleasantries, the members seeming to be in
remarkably good humor, which rendered the
discussion quite entertaining. Rev. Mr.. Wells
of Wardsboro next took the floor and deliver
ed very interesting address, contrasting
modern preaching with that of 80 years ago,
when he first entered the ministry Mt the
conclusion of which the Getting rendered
unanimous vote of thanks. s.
