Charms and Amulets.
In olden Rome and Greece parents
used to suspend charms about tho necks
of their children bearing their names,
ulld a | s0 the dovicB o£ Mme g()d . ’j j leg0
served a twofold purpose—first, the pro-
teotion ot the god was invoked, hut if
t)l0 god did llot ,, rop erly attend to his
business, and permitted the child to get
lost, tho name of his parents would serve
as a guide for of his safe return. These
,.|, ann8 were gold, silver, and other
, neta | g> according to the wealth of tho
parents. The older people also woro
charms to insure good luck, and it seems
to httve been the general custom of all
n Iltttion8 in oI(l <W Even the
( , urly Church did not discountenance
’
t | le wearing of Christian relics ns
(im ulets until the eighth century; and
a f ter that the custom was much practised,
though not recognized by those in
au i ority. In Oriental countries to-dav
every body wears an amulet to guard
a g {ll i ls t sickness and other misfortunes,
and in our own land some people are
» ipewtitious enough to believe in certain
properties said to be possessed by
j» r eeious stones. When you come to
consider the matter, it is very foolish
to believe that an opal will bring you trial
Hndill | llcki but 8ome people actually
The colored people of theSouth are
extremely superstitious, and they wear
n u 8 or t s of curious amulets to guard
uga ; ns t witches, in which they are firm
believers. It is much tha same as carry¬
ing around a horse-chestnut as a charm
against rheumatism, as many do. There
who „ ;iSa believed man, a bright intelligent person,
in the horse-chestnut charm
g0 thoroughly his pocket, that ho always kept one
,| in fjtii and just as regularly as
le o.ime around he would be laid
up with rheumatism for weeks, yet ho
believed in tho charm. The amulets
that believed the Egyptians wore were as firmly
in and just as much used us
slut horse-chestnut charm of this civi-
zed man, or the rabbit’s foot worn by
tho negro of the South.— [Harper's
