Ehite raven, with pale pink eyes and red
sgs, recently received admission to the

ary to remove him to separate cage.

OUR SUPERSTITIONS.
WHAT OLD LADIES SAY ARE THE s'sIGNs.

The following superstitions, handed
iown by tradition, are yet fervertly be-
ieved in many parts of America:
White specks on the nails are luck.
Whoever reads epitaphs loses his
memory.
I, rock the cradle when empty is in
furious to the child.
To eat while a bell is tolling for fu-
uneral causes toothache,
The Growing of hen indicates some
approaching disaster.
When mouse gnaws hole, some mis-
fortune may be apprehended.
He who has teeth wide asunder must
seek his fortune in distant land.
Whoever finds four-leaf trefoil-
shamrock-should wear it for good luck.
Beggar's bread should be given to
children who are slow learning to speak.
If a child less than twelve months old
be brought into cellar he becomes fear
full.
When children play soldiers on the
roadside, it forebodes the approach of
war.
A child grows proud if suffered to look
into the mirror while less than twelve
months old.
He who proposes moving into new
house must first send in bread and new
broom.
Whoever sneezes at an early hour eth
er hears some news or receives some
present the same day.
The first tooth cast by child should
he swallowed by the mother, to insure
new growth of teeth.
Buttoning ihe coat awry, or drawing
on stocking inside out, causes matters
to go wrong during the day.
BY bending the head to the hollow of
the arm the initial letter of ones future
spouse is represented.
Women who SOW fax seed should, dur
ing the process, tell some confounded
lies, otherwise the yarn will never bleach
white.
When women arc stuffing beds, the
men should not remain in the house,
otherwise the feathers will come through
the ticks.
When person enters room he should
be obliged to sit down, if only for mo
ment, as he otherwise takes away the
children's sleep with him.
The following are omens of death: A
logs scratching on the floor or bowling
in peculiar manner, and owls hooting
in the neighborhood of the house.
Domestic harmony must be preserved
when washing day comes, in nrdsr to IN
sure fine weather, which is indespens
able, as that ceremony is generally per.
formed out of doors.

FROM an exchange: The Emperor is
in his eighty fourth year, and is remark
ably well preserved for an octogenarian
and for one who has lived through the
wear and tear of nearly fifty years of
court life, in addition to the rough and
tumble of a long military career. He
looks though at present twenty years
older than when / saw him at Homburq-
les bans eight years ago. His height is
SIX feet six. or it was then; he had fine
military figure, and did not appear to be
over sixty or sixty five; but now he has
grown heavier and stoutcr: his face is
full OF wrinkles, and old age is fast set
ting down upon him. Old age is also
crushing hip down in stature, for he
does not look as tall by several inches az
when | saw him taking his daily prom
enade at Homburg. / hear it told that
when he reached his seventieth birthday.
ne promised his faithful physician who
had attended him for many years, that if
ne would carry him through the eighty
he would make him a count or baron-I
forget which. Reaching eighty, hale and
hearty, he again promised the faithful
disciple of Esculapius that if he would
extend his life ten years more, he would
make hlm prince. Appearances indl-
cate that the physician will receive the
promised title. How high he will rise in
the scale of nobility by his powers of
extending life, aud to what great age the
Emperor will attain, remains to be seen.
