Ancient Marriage Superstitions. Since marriage became an institu tion, there have been certain signs and superstitions, that have clung to its celebration through all ages and in all countries. Even to-day, in the most civilized nations, wo have not entirely rid our minds of these superstitions, and I warrant there is never a bride but indulges herself in looking for some happy men. Few people are daunt less enough to be married on Friday, and we all have the most unlimited confidence in that old shoe thrown af ter newly wedded pair. Nearly every bride of to-day wears about her when sho is married some trifling thing bor rowed from a lady friend, and all know that “ blest is the bride on whom the sun doth shine,” and are equally cer tain that " To chhngo the name and not tho letter Is a change for the worse and not for the better.” So on, quite indefinitely, it is won derful how these ancient signs are hnnded.down from generation to gen eration and how impotent reason is to do away with their hold upon the human mind. Say what you will, we are naturally given to superstitious fears, and there are the few est people who are not more or less af fected by them. But let us recall a few of the olden beliefs concerning marriage superstitions. In the earlier weddings we read of among the Jews, we find that the fourth day of the week was considered an unlucky day for virgins to wed, and the fifth day for widows. The Romans also believed that certain days were unfavorable for the performance of marriage rites, and these were the Kalends, Nones and Ides of every month, the whole months of February and May, and many of their festivals. June was considered the most propi tious month of the year for matrimony, especially it the day chosen were that ®f a full moon, or the conjunction of the sun and moon. The month of May was especially to be avoided, as it was under the in fluence of spirits averse to happy households, and for centuries this su perstition seemed to prevail in Italy against May marriages, and even to this day it prevails in some parts of England and our own country. In China marriages are positively prohib ited in certain times and seasons, on account of their being unlucky. There was at one time a superstition current in England against marrying on Innocent’s Day, the 28 th of Decem ber, a day of ill-omen, because it was the one which commemorated Herod’s massacre of the children. And it is still thought unlucky to marry in Lent. “ Marry in Lent and you’ll live to repent.” An old line also says, “May never was a month of love,” and another, “ Who marries between ye sickle and ye scythe will never strive.” The old rhyme that we have all heard tells us to marry on “ Monday for wealth, Tuesday for health, Wednesday the best day of all; Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses, Saturday no luck at all.” At one time it was thought that all those who married on Tuesdays and Thursdays would be happy. Among the Romans, no marriage was cele brated without an augur being first consulted. In the middle ages it was considered an ill omen if the bridal party in going to church, met a monk, priest, dog, goat, lizard or serpent; while all would go well if a wolf, spider or toad were encountered. It Ls lucky if the initials of a wed ded couple spell a word. In the south of England it is said to be unlucky for a bride to look in the glass after she is completely dressed before she goes to church, so a glove or some other article is put on after the last look has been taken in the mirror. Gray horses at a wedding are lucky. It is supposed to be unlucky il' a wife does not weep on her wedding day. In Scotland it is considered an unhappy omen if a couple are disap pointed in getting married on the day first fixed for the purpose. In the Isle of Man it is believed that it insures good luck to carry salt in the pocket when going to be mar ried. In Hull it is considered unlucky to go in at one door and go out at an other when a pprson gets mai l led. Whoever goes to sleep first on the wedding night dies first. If there is an odd number of guests at a wedding, one is sure to die within the succeeding twelve months. Cheap Railroad Prosperity, There are some very cheap railroads to be bought up now. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad has just been bought for 51,750,000 in currency, a railroad 272 miles long, and on which there was a bonded debt originally of 89.000,000. The Frank fort bondholders foreclosed and took the road (the St. Louis, Rock Island and Chicago), and have now sold it to •the Quincy road, and received a gold draft for the amount. The accumu lated and unpaid interest would amount to double what they got back. On the other hand the Quincy road gets for jess than $6,500 a mile a property which it can make some use of, in the way of parallel tracks, and which another SI,OOO per mile will put in very fair condition. This makes the Ch icago, Burlington and Quincy the second largest mileage operator in the west, controlling 1,570 nines, the JTortli western railroad being the first. — JYew Haven Register. Merchant’s Gargling On,has wen for itself a werld-wido reputation as a liniment useful in rheumatism, sprain:., burns, scalds, &c. This preparation was first manufactured in 1888, and since th n has steadily grown into the favor at and confidence of the people. The long term of years during which it has constantly been brought to the notieeof the public, together with its immense sale, give evi dence of an inherent value which cannot be doubted. An objection to its use— thatof staining theskin, hasbeenentirely removed, so that it now leaves no stain whatever. Although called “Family Oil,” and prepared intentionally lor hu man flesh, it answers well for beasts; and will be found one of the best remedies for all purposes, where a liniment is re quired, that has ever been manufactured. The Druggist, New Lebanon, N. Y. We would advise those of our readers whose buildings or fences require paint ing, or whose roofs are in need of re pairs, to send at once for pamphlet and price list of Asbestos Paints, Roofing, Roof Paint and Cement, These articles, which are of unquestioned reliability, are also the most economical of any in use for such purposes. The Centennial Exposition medal and diploma of merit have been awarded to the manufacturer, Mr. H. \V. Johns, 87 Maiden Lane, New York, who within the past twenty years has built up the most extensive and suc cessful business in this line in the world. Mr. Johns also manufactures Asbestos paper, cloth steam pipe and boiler cover ings, steam packing, sheathings, etc., which are in use in every civilized coun try. Fortune Favors the Heave. In days gone by, when civilization had just begun to dawn upon the human race, Chance reigned predominant in the affairs of men. The Goddess of Fortune smiled on those as Chance prescribed. Armies fell, and were shorn of glory in one day, while wealth and opulence crowned the victors. Men rose from the verv haunts of poverty, and by a lucky stroke of the sword gained honor and riches. But time has wrought a material change. He no more struggles in blood for wealth, when a more pacific opportunity af fords itself. For instance,sl2, $6 or $3 gives an ecpial chance for the good, round gifts of SIOO,OOO, $50,00, $25,000, etc., to those who may feel inclined to invest in a bona fide and legitimate enterprise like the “Kentucky Cash Distribution Company,” of Frankfort, Kv. See their advertisement elsewhere. We often see a large stock of cattle which do not seem to thrive, and come out “ spring poor,” all for want of something to start them in the right direction. One dol lar’s worth of Sheridan’s Cavalry Condition Powders, given to sneh a stock occasionally during the winter, would be worth more than an extra half ton of hay. CHILLS, CHlLLS . —Wmtersmith’s Tonic Sy rup or improved Chill Cure, is a certain remedy ior every form of Fever and Ague. Its superiorly over all other remedies is in the fact that the cure is a permanent one— the Chill,when broken, does not return. Unlike Chili remedies generally, it requires no pur gative to lie taken with it; the medicine itself act ing gently and agreeably upon the liver and bowels, effectually removing the cause of the disease, not merely temporarily checking it, as in the case oi quinine. Sold by all Druggists Chapped nanas, race, pimples, ring worm, saltrhenm, and other cutaneous affec tions cured and rough stein made soft and smooth, by using Juniper Tar Soap, lie careful to set only that made by Caswell, Hazard & Cos., New York, as there are many imitations made with common tar, all of wich are worthless. Have von a severe wrench or sprain? Have you rheumatism in any form? Have you stiff neck, or bunches caused by rheu matic pains? If so, Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment is a specific remedy, used intern ally and externally. Premature loss of hair, which is so common nowadays, may be entirely pre vented by the use of Burnett’s Cocoainb A Kit,ACM CHABACTEIt is awful, but pretty black hair and whiskers is not. Use Da. Tutt’s Hair Dye, and in fifteen minute you will have them as natural as in youth. If your Druggist does not have it he will order it for you. WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW. MEMPHIS.
