SUPERSTITI0Y ATTACHING 70
GEMS,

It is II curious superstition which associ-
ates with each month in the year its char
acteristic gem. II is thought to this day
among Eastern nations-and the same be-
lief prevailed among the old Romans-that
the fortunes of human being are inAuenc-
ed by tho stone which belongs to his birth
month.
The fiery garnet is the stone of January,
and it insures "constancy and fidelity in
every sort of engagement.
To February belongs the amethyst, and
and he who is born in February should
wear the purple stone as a preservative
against "violent passions and drunkenness,
to which fate will tempt him"
Stormy March has, and needs, the blood
stone, which gives Courage and wisdom in
perilous undertakings and 6rmness in af-
lection"
To tickle April, all smiles aud tears, be-
longs the deep-blue sapphire, which "frees
from enchantment and denotes repentance
and kindness of disposition"
The emerald belongs to May. and its
brilliant green suits the spring verdure.
at discovers false witnesses and insures
happiness in love and domestic felicity.
The agate, which belongs to the Aowery
month of June, "causes it wearer to be in
vinciJle in the feats of strength, and iusures
long life, health and prosperity"
To burning July tho glowing ruby be-
longs, and it is a bene6cent stone, for it
both discovers poison, nnd cures all evils
springing from the unkindness of friends"
The sardonyx to him who is born in Au-
gust ensures conjugul felicity
Tho chrysolite "preseryes from despair"
him who is born in September.
To ripe October belongs the pale opal,
with the CLINT of ere at its heart-"stoue OF
misfortune, but also of hope"
The pearl, meaning Clears and pity" is
assigned to sad November, but let him who
is born in December take heart of grace,
for the light blue turquoise assures to him

He went from the old homo hearthstone
Only two years ago,
A laughing, frolllcking fellow,
1t would do you good to know.
Since then VIC haYo not seen him,
And we say with nameless pain,
The boy we knew and loved SO
We shall never see again.
One bearing the name we gave him
Comes home to us to-day,
But this is not the dear fellow
We kissed and sent away.
Tall as the man he calls father,
With a mans look In his face,
Is he who takes by the hearthstone
The lost boys olden place.
We miss tho laugh that made music
Wherever the lost boy went,
This man has q smile most winsome,
His eyes have grave Intent;
We know he is thinking and planning
His way in the world of men,
And we cannot help but love him,
But long for our boy again.
We are proud of this manly fellow
Who comes to take his place,
With hints of the vanished boyhood
In his earnest, thoughtful face;
And yet comes back the longing
For the boy we henceforth must miss,
Whom we sent away from the hearthston
Forever with kiss.
