The Animal Was Old But the Guests Enjoyed lit. One hundred .pndmlrtenit men of New ark sat down to a dJunetr last evening which mis different from any other ever served in the dty. To outward (appearances ib was like others of a so cial nature, but every guest who sat alt the long tahOes knew ho *wus par- toklng of horseflesh. Dr. Richard Hopkins was the host. When a horse slaughtering establish ment was started in Harrison, N. J., several months ago (there was a great agitation over ifhe alleged fact that the meiut 'was being disposed of in this city and Nehv York Instead oif in Eu rope, us the proprietors of the Slaugh ter house ulleged. This led (to the breaking up of the business, for the 'board of health caught the firm in on Infringement of ibhe law. It had fats •buildings too dot** to a highway. There wus tv discussion 1 between the citizens ns to (the good and bad quali fies of horse fletfb, and utmost every one took slues. Dr. Hopkflns wHs one of those who asserted that horse meat wus ns good If not barter than •Chicago dressed beef. The dinner was the ouiioome of the agitation. The horse was an old one. He was, to foot, n veteran ,as he had seen twenty*six ye.irs of serried For four years he had been the property of George W. Marshull of New'ark. Mr. Marshall was at the dinner, but re fused to partttUco of tho meat. ONXjY ONE REFUSED. He eald flt’ wias not than he had nay repugnance to the flesh, but because he felt as though he would be editing an old friend. He was the only man who dM n.*t c-.U the meat. All seemed ito relish the dinner very much. The old horse was served up In all mannore of -ways. There were home steaks and horse chops, horse pot roasts nnVJ baked horse, hor»t rib poust nnd horse hash, horse liver end horse soup. There were other things, l»ut no ot)i«*r in-Ml was in the menu.

The hor^e -ads led from the iluble, w-here he hod been putting on a* few extra, layers of fat, and was slaugh tered in the most approved way. The ccmiss when dceased wus hung in an Ice box and tr«vted fci every manner the same as beef. When Dr. Hopkins sent out his invi tations ho wondered if he would have to 3IZ down alone to enjoy the horse; and vowed If such was the oaso he would eat the whole dinner and drink three thlnqu which had boon provided for drinking. It was mUde a rule that no one who failed to partlike of fihe horse would enjoy the rest of the good things. WELL KNOWN MEN THERE.

But mB it the old boat op a now ono? - THE LORE OF MARBIAOB. Quaint Superstitions Olu^tcroed! Round ithe BridJl Day. Any one Mving at tke present timo woi/jd mudh nesenlt Uto 'Idea tlia'b lie was at all superbtlitious, still tho fiiCt remtiins tilvat little guporatitlons, inoi- dcuts and coincidences aro treusured up for nepeilfitlon to tiwse who am> to listem. Grdit care is taken -wiluen deciding on tico mamrkige dUy tio avoid any imag inary ill omens; tihus they are wtannod: “Mamry in Ixcit and youti repent;” or, “Marry in May and you’ll rue the diiy,” both of which notions came fooan i'he time of the Ramains; while another ewys, “To wed in Mkiy is to wed pov erty.” In ne©a<id to the ill luck attached to •May It was said that women disobey ing tho oibovo preddottons wouid be childless, or if they did have children the flmat would be deformed or an idiot, or the married couple would live un- happ.iy togdtdtor. Juno is proarroed to be a highly fa vored tnoum. Any ono married in .Tune will be'blessed with, wealth, health and children, and live happily uul their lives. The days of the week have a peculiar slgnitictmce.' Friday is a day studious ly voided by .all contemplating mar- riuge,. foe'.ng moat unlucky, the couple, infringing this rule being doomed to lend a cat and dog life. ■Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday aro ail supposed to be good days, neither is Saturday a< bad day, but some consider Thurtdhy as bad as Friday. Theme are numorous odd oonens sup posed to be cOioncdtod with fthe coupie themselves. For instance, it is cons.d- ered unCortadifio for the lady’s sur name to ooamnencQ with 'tho same let ter as lier fiance, and all remember the oOd saying: To chili go Ihe name and not the letter. Is a oaange for the worse and not for the ibetiter. It Je considered by oewne to be ex tremely unlucky flor engaged parties ito entirely read through ichc mai*rle<d ser- vioe, <w It is said those who do so fre quently remain unwed. ‘Lang engagements are not recom mended; we lain know the couplet: Happy’s the wooing . Thlat is not long lu doing. While mioPher adage warns us thait too speedy murriaiges are not desirable, in ithose words: {Marry in h'asto and rope rut at leisure. A number of supersUltliana are at- itaohdd to ithe bride Wt a wedding. Wo are 'tefid thUt oire of the most unlucky •things she can do is >to return and look In Ohe .tndrror after her toilet Js once completed for Tho ceremony. Then •there is a popuOar one of it beinrg un lucky for the sun to /ttrfi.e upon her. Again, In eocne places it 5s considered ill Vuck f«r tfa bride «to Reap & pin Oibout her whlth rtie bias used to her bridal toTlet, while the -noaion that every wo man 4n nhe parity who Obtained one of these pins woutfd be married before .Che on.l of -the yoar gimeatuUy ontai’.p-d ’a scufiio on the bride’s return from church. It is oonafderOd unlucky for «fhe hap py ipalir to etttcr 'the church by one door and leave by ainother, and in many ipl^es fat fe conaixlercd very omi nous for 'Bhe brSkal .party to meet a funeral either going or coming from church, ft fudfaudtag ithat cfixly death of 'the wifle or husband according as Iho funeral is thaft of a male or female. I «qi once looked upon as most unfontisncute to meet dithor a dog. ealt, lizard or hare; but Jf the parity cume across <i toad or a spider this was s very good ccnen Indeed. Much has been written about* the welding ring, the “ring of gold.” This Js always re^aided os un absolute ne- ctsfity to ithe marriqige service, birt it is not lagu&’jy bo, although few core to brave superstltltlan nnd do without it. Then so many woman one prejudiced against taking off ithe ring after it has once been placed upon (the finger. A curious custom fan oMon times wns than of the eldest sHtero darning bare foot ait (the marriage of he younger ones, lest they should lose all cWance and die oM maids. In some parts of Engtand this custom is ntfa'l kept up. As on emblam of good luck, shoos are invariably thrown uifter the bride on leaving for the honeymoon. This te accounted for <n Itnvo ^oys. Some aay that the shoe (n olden tfamra being ec- oouxftted ns n sign of authority, this is the symbol off the transfer off parental rUlit to the husband, while others af firm fWat the shoe throwing is a pre- ftondtU awuiult on the huslxuui for car rying nwtvy- ithe bride. In G^me of the old parts of England, when <rhe kit el y fnAftd couple first enter (theCr house, a ihen 1s .brought fan and made to cackle as a rign off good luck. In bygone yriars the bride was •rot alWwtfd mo wane Oftfr tho doorstep in entering her new abode, blit was lifted ov*>r by her nwareeJt relative, this bAng done to preverit arltchcra/tt. . Many are the beliefs clustering toWBii the wedding rake. The girl frieinds off tte bride are most eager to pass a dny bit of the wedding cake three times through a wedding ring and place the same under their pillow to the 1*npe fvach may dream of her future husband, While rubbing shoul ders «4th the married ptfr fts Mdd to ludkOLte a gpeely marriage. . “WAITING.” O, ship that never heaves in sight. But laggard plays; Oh, for one glimpse of your sails whits In these dark days! Torouid lift my soul from the “Despond” In which it lies, • po see the beauteous land beyond The sunset skies, Whence banished is all care. O, weary, tired hearts that grope Through starless night, Vain-seeklng for some ray of hope Your path to light, Hold fast; The star of faith will shine When clouds go by— Your ships come bounding o’er the brine With full supply Of treasure rich and rare. -E.
