Quaint MARRIAGE superstitlons.

There is no period in Il woman's life
that so completely changes her whole
existence as marriage, and for that
very reason she is apt to be more su-

epochs, nimeiy, the Calends, on the first
Of the mont;: the Noi,as, about the 9th
Of the month, and the Ides, which were
the middle CT the month. I1stead,
however, of counting forward from
