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 SOUTHERN NURSERY. ■' t Z 1 ' ’ I Vr. . ■ V V //-7 ■ ■ ’ ■ • N, ir IIJAViN” & THURMONIJ, I’roprietors.

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. ■ ■ ■. ■ st ed and moe n.itc cuss of the ea:i’t-pav c’a-s in the coimtrv.' “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. »—« M ich is said in these days of woman's sphere.
