A Few SuperstitiOns.

We copy below from the Phila. iSAa--
day Times, a few of the many superstie
tons nduIged i'll 10y certain class The
first one begins with the common rhyme
from Mother Goose, which is familiar to
all and was us follows:
See a pin and pick 1t up,
All the day you'll have good luck;
See pin and l,t t lay,
Bad luck youll have all day.
This superstition is common one.
shared by all classes, and doubtless orig
mated in past ages when pins were
scarce and valuable. We often hear it
quoted as an instance of Stephen Gil
rards economy that he was never known
to pass pin without picking it up, but
the question is an open one whether the
fact was due to motives of thift or sim
ply to the old superstition.
This is the season of building and it is
curious to observe how, when ladder
is erected against a wall, many persons
in fact, the majority of passers-b by
go round it, or out into the street. rath-
er than pass under, although danger to
life or limb from so doing there is abso-
lutcly none. And of those who sturdi-
ly walk under probably more than one
remembers uncornfortably the ill luck
which is said to attend the act.
The evil reputc which attaches to Fri
day is well nigh worldwide. Among
sailors the prejudice against this day is
especially prevalent.
In order to disprove and counteract
1t IN some measure Il wealthy English
shlp-builder once built a vessel which
was begun on Friday, finished on Fri
day, christencd The Friday and launch
ed on Fiday, 1t was with much Difficult
ty that men were found to man her, but
tempted by, high wages crew was at
last obtained and she set sail on Friday.
Unfortunately for the success of the ex-
pertinent she was never heard of again
sUPERsrGrIONs ABOUT DAYS.
Besides the prominence which Friday
has attained, every day of the week has
its superstitions attached and is of good
or evil omen. With most of them the
reader is probably familiar, vet an arti-
Gle OF this kind would hardly be com
plete without an enumeration of the
most common:
sundays child reer lacks in place;
Mondayss child is fair in the face;
Tuesdays child Is fun Of grace;
Wednesday child Is sour ard sad;
Thursday child is loving and glad
Fridays child is loving and giving;
And saturdays child shah wotk for its lly-
