The Seven Whistlers.
There is an old English superstition, which it
is not easy to get at the bottom of, concerning
a certain cry or sound heard in the night, sup
posed to be produced by the Seven Whistlers.
What or avlio these yvhistlers are is an unsolved
problem. In some rural districts they are popu
larly believed to be witches, in others ghosts, in
others devils, while in the Midland counties they
are supposed to be birds, either plovers or mar
tins—some say swifts. In Leicestershire it is
deemed a bad omen to hear the Seven Whistlers,
and our old writers supply many passages illus
trative of the popular credulity. Spencer in his
“Faerie Queene,” speaks of
‘ The whistlers shrill
That who hears doth die.”
Scott, in the “ Lady of the Lake,” names the
bird with which his character associated the cry:
“And in the plover’s shrilly strain
Tae signal whistlers heard again.”
When the colliers of Leicestershire are flush of
money, Ave are told, and indulge in a drinking
bout, they sometimes hear the warning voice of ’
the Seven AVbistlers; they get sobered and [
frightened, and will not descend the pit till the I

next day. Wordsworth speaks of a countryman
who
"The seven birds bath seen that never part,
Seen the Seven Whistlers in their nightly rounds,
And counted them.”
A year or two ago, during a thunder storm
which passed over Leicestershire, and while vivid
lightning was darting throng.i the sky. immense
flocks of birds were seen flying about, uttering
dol-ful affrighted cries as they passed, and keep
ing up for a long time a continual whistling like
that made by shme king of seabird. The number
must have been immense, for the local newspa
pers mentioned the same phenomenon in differ
ent parts of the ueigbborirg counties of North
ampton. Leicester and Lincoln. A gentleman,
conversing with a countryman on t’.ie following
day, asked him what kind of birds he supposed
them to have beet'. The man answered, "They
are what weeall the Seven Whistlers :" and added
that whenever they are heard it is considered a
sign of some great calamity, and that the last
time he heard them was on the night before the
deplorable explosion of tire-damp at the Harley
Colliery. Soldiers, too. in time of tierce war. are
said to be not quite free from a superstitious be
lief that such cries in the air denote an approach
ing battle with great slaughter. A stranger no
tion than any of these associates the Seven Whis
tlers. or the shrill birds of some indefinite num
l>er. with a very old myth of past days. One
evening, some years ago. a gentleman was cross
ing a moor in Lancashire, in company with an
elderly man belonging to the district. As they
were passing along they were startled by the
whistling overhead of a flight of plovers. The
old man said that in the days of his youth the
Lanch ishire hill folk considered such occurrence
a bad omen, foretelling ill-luck to the person
who Lears the whistling. Further questions
brought out the fact that these birds are called
Wandering .lev- the bodies of the birds contain
the sxiuls of tiie Jews who assisted at the cnici
tixion. and who are doomed to float in the air
forever.
In Hot Spring- 3 , those who are not prosperou
express it in this wise: "Im J. Cooked: I'm
Tuckered: I'm City Scriptied; I'm Grapliieised ;
I'm jimjammed. l-arst-i. suspended, played out.

“It would awaken the seven sleepers” is a com
mon saying ; but we venture to say that half who
use it do not know its origin. Tiie legend runs
that seven noble youths of Ephesus, during tl.e
of Christians by Decius, a Homan
Emperor of the third century, fled and took refuge
in a cavern; having been pursued anct discovered,
were walled in and thus left to perish. They are
said to have fallen asleep, and in that state were
miraculously preserved for nearly two centuries,
when their bodies having been found in the cav
: ern, were taken out and exposed to the venera
tion of the faithful. Then it was said these holy
martyrs Avere not dead ; that they had been hid
in the cavern where they had fallen asleep, and
that they at last awoke to the astonishment of
’ the spec tators. The spot is still shown at
Ephesus xvhere the pretended miracle took place,
[ and the Persians celebrate annually the feast of
the Seven Sleepers.
A LaFayette, Indiana, man drew bis money
from the savings bank and invested it in a pair
horses and a carnage, bis idea being that if Ave
were all goimg to smash he would at least go in
i style.
A gentleman who is rather given to story tell
ing, relates the following:
“When I was a young man, I spent several
years in the South, residing for a while at Pott
Gibson, on the Mississippi river. A great deal
of litigation was going on there about that time,
and it was not always an easy matter to obtain a
jury. One day I was summoned to act in that
capacity, and repaired to court to get excused.
On mv name being called. I informed his honor,
the judge, that I xvas not a feeholder, and there
fore, not qualified to serve. lam stopping for
the. time- being in this place.”
“You board at the hotel, eh ?”
‘ I take meals there, but have rooms in anoth
er part of the town, where I lodge.”
“So you keep bachelor’s hall ?”
“Yes. sir.”
“How long have you lived in that manner?”
“Abaut six months.”
“I think yon are qualified, for I have never
known a man to keep bachelor's hall the length
of time you have named who had not dirt enough
in his room to make him a freeholder. The court
does not excuse you.”
"I had more money than he had to carry on
the suit." said a very mean individul who had
just won a law suit over a poor neighbor, “and
that's where I had the advantage of him. Then
I had much better counsel than lie.and there I had
the advantage of him. And his family were sick
while the suit was pending, so he couldn't attend
to it. and there I had the advantage of him again.
But then Brown is a right decent sort of a man
after all. "Yes." said a listener, "and there he
has the advantage of you."
Daughter—" Well, to tell the truth. Ido not
think much of the close of the sermon.” Father
: —"Probably you were thinking more of the
• clothes of the congregation.”
No a n r. according to the Danbury Aeicsman,
has yet been able to counterfeit that expression
, of joy which a man shows when discovering a
, ten cent stamp in his paper of tobacco.
