FmnAV.—The general prevalence of the superstition as to Friday, has lately received curious confirmation. M. Minard, a French authority, states that Friday in Franco is considered the unlucky (lny, the number of travellers being smaller on that day, even in omnibus traffic, and the English Registrar General in his last report says: "Seamen will not sail, women will not wed, on a Friday, so willingly as on other days of the week." Out of 4.0f7 marriages in the midland districts of England! not 2 per cent, were celebrated on Friday while 32 per cent, were entered into on Sunday. The Tlie next day in favor was Monday AVITH 21 per cent, then Saturday with 17 per cent. Per contra., Mr. Watson, the City Chamberlain of Glasgow, in his last statistical report, says:

It is a well established fact that nine-tenths of the marriages in Glasgow, are celebrated on Friday only a few on Tuesday and Wednesday Saturday and Monday are still more rarelv adoptod, and I never heard of a marriage on Sunday in Glasgow."

So that, in Scotland, Fridav is the lucky day of the week, at least for marriage/ In this country few people pay attention to the superstition which marks Friday as an unlucky day.

LIFE IN MADRID.

It was upon a fine bright morning in the month of February, 18RI—I have not the almanac by me, or I would tell you the clav of the*month but I know it was a M'ondnv—that I happened to be sojourning in the fair city of Madrid. Some travelers in Spain are apt

tiles as being the very reverse ot «Jair both in its aspect and its manners. The Madrilenos themselves occasional ly abuse their own capital, although they take in high dudg criticisms passed upon and describe the climate as nueve meses le imicrno, trr.s meftc* dc infierno nine months winter, and three months Tophet." But I am singular enough to be veiy fond of the city of the Mancan ares and mv stay there, perhaps, seemed all the pleasantcr to me for the reason that I had come straight to

Untcr den Linden that dull Kroll's (iarten the Berliners are always boring you with and that eternal, obtrusive, pipe-clay-and-heel-ball helmet! The change from Berlin to Madrid was to mo as delicious as.that from the schoolroom to the phiv-ground—from the straight-laced alleys of Versailles to the unsophisticated pastures of the Green Park. You can do what you like in Madrid. Dull sticklers as to precedence do not puzzle themsolves as whether you are wohlgeboren, or have any right to. tack a "von" to your name. You are in Spain prima facie a gentleman. Ex ca ball era como yo *"Ustcd," the beggars say, pointing to the grandee. You are allowed to be as lazy as ever you like. You take your chocolate in bed, rise at noon, smoke at the table-d'hote, go to the club, and play rouge-et-noir without any danger of being takeil for a professed gambler (every body gambles), look in at the opera house or the Zarzuela, then go into "society,"rove from tertuliato tertnlia—at which pleasant but modest entertainments you may reckon on a hearty welcome," plenty of tobacco (if vou take it with you), and oceans of cold water—and come home humming thc air of a jota aragonese at half past three in the morning, at which hour, so it appeared to me, the last editions of the evening papers were generally publ ished. At least, as you approached the Puerta del Sol, which is in every bodv's way, to bed, you heard the little news-boys' squalling forth, La Iberia!" "Las Novedad&s!" "El Cascabel!" and that their squalling clid not seem to cease till cock-crow. This was life in Madrid an easy, tranquil, giving-and-taking existence. All you had to clo was to be pleased with the people you met, and to fall in with their little ways and they were infinitely pleased with you, and fell in with your little ways forthwith. Which is not a bad way, mi fili (as Chancellor Oxenstiern did not observe to his son), of getting through this ill-paved world. Occasionally you might wake up to a momentary and somewhat uncomfortable consciousness that things were not going precisely as they should that you were wasting about sixteen hours out of the twenty-four that you were drifting into a shiftless, dreamy, moony existence that the customs of the country were sometimes very barbarous that ignorance, idleness, dirt, and superstition were rampant all around you that you were not dancing, but dozing over a volcano that thirtysix hours were consumed in sending a six-line telegram to London, and that the telegraph clerk usually cheated you in the reckoning that the newspapers were mainly full of lies and swagger that the women didn't comb their hair that the bull-ring (whither you always went on Sunday afternoons) was a hot-bed xf the beastliest cruelty that this was a country without liberty, without industry, without principle, and well-nigh without hope and that nine out of ten of the common people were afflicted with an incurable propensity for passing bad money. But so soon as ever that ugly ghost of consciousness arose, you cut its head oft, and laid it in the Red Sea. You kindled another puro, and linked your arm in that of another caballcro, who told you that his house was at your disposition, and that he hoped you might live a thousand years. He was a humbug? Well: and what then? "[Sure," said an Irish lady to me once, "and aren't some of the nicest people in thc world humbugs?" There could not have been a nicer lady than she was. And I knew another lady too, not Irish, who once observed to a friend of mine, "I know vou don't love me but humbug me, and that'll do quite as well." T—.that is to say, my friendhumbugged her, and she was happy. /Wiediecl.

THE SECRET^ OF ELOQ UENCE. How truly has it been said, that, if you wish to touch the feelings of others bv the means of music, your heart must- first have been touched by its gentlo power if you wish to express consolation or sympathy, .you must havo suffered if you wish to start the tear, you must have wept it if you wish by your strain lo raise us to heaven, you must yourself havo been there in your faith and, if you wish to move

an audience to tears by your eloquence, vou must have felt the truth and fervor of the words you adddress to them. Herein lies the secret and power of the great musicians and 'composers, as well as the poets and orators who move select circles and promiscuous, audiences by their beautiful pathos and "words "that burn." With words you mav deceive, with their aid you may cover the barrenness of your heart, but when entering thc domain of music you cannot betray or deceive us. You cannot impart what you yourself do not possess. These facts were recently beautifully illustrated by America's most eloquent female orator, Anna Dickinson, on the occasion of a recent visit to the Soldier's Home at Dayton, Ohio. When she turned to the veterans, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, whicli she tried in vain to fling away with her white, jeweled fingers, and then, after a half sob, she said, "I knew—when—'I—was—asked—thatI— —couldn't—talK—to you, but I can cry with you!" Had it been mere acting, it would havo been perfect, but everybody saw how truly womanly it was. It made other people, not used to the melting mood, whip out their handkerchiefs. The women in the audience cried like women, and the men fell very much in love with Anna. However, after this little episode, Miss Dickinson was herself again, and her eloquence glowed as only a rainbow can at the clearing away of a summer shower. Eloquence flowed as freely from her charming lips as water from Horeb when the rod of inspiration opened the rock. She reminded the gallant men before her of the trials and struggles of their warfares of the cause which enlisted their services of the principles for which they bled of the honors they had won of the gratitude to which they were entitled, and of the love they commanded from good women and good men. Full of passionate earnestness, she had the veterans, at this moment, roaring with the mighty voices of soldiers in victory, then weeping like women. The scene was hard to describe, though delightful to witness and feel. Anna, as the woman, surpassed all she had ever accomplished as the advocate of the cause which has engaged her eloquence for so many years. Nobody could describe the enthusiasm of the veterans.

ARE A UTIFUL INCIDENT. A young man recently ran away from'the galleys of Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous, and soon made his way across the country, and escaped pursuit. He arrived next morning before a cottage in an open field, and stopped to get something to eat, and get refuge while he reposed a little. But he found the inmates of the cottage in the greatest, distress. Four little children sat trembling in the corner— the mother sat weeping and tearing her hair, and the father was walking the floor in agony.

The galley-slave asked what was the matter, and the father replied that they were that morning to be turned out of door, because they could not pay their rent. "Yous^eihe the^tbir»^

I will grve you means. I havo just escaped from the galleys. Whosoever brings back an escaped prisoner, is entitled to a reward of fifty francs. How much does the rent amount to?" "Fortv francs," answered the father. "Well"," said the other, "put a cord around my body. I will follow you to the city, where they will recognize me, and you will got fifty francs for bringing me back." "No, never!" exclaimed thc astonished listener. "My children should starve a thousand times before I would do so base a thing."

The generous man insisted, and declared at last that he would go and give himself up if the father would not consent to take him. After a long struggle, the latter yielded, and, taking his preserver by thc arm, led him to the citv, and to the mayor's office.

Everybody was surprised to see that a little man like the father had been able to capture such a strong young fellow but thc proof was before them.

NORTH CAROLINA 'STRAIGHT DRINK: Some years since, when they were buildin' the locks on Coal River, I was over thar at Peytona, an' I stopt in at Dr. Kelluill's.

There was a famine just then, and great sufferin' among' men, women and children, for want of the necessaries of life.

Leastwise it was about the same thing. Thar was plenty of meat, an abundance of corn, and no skarcity of chickens but the rivers were dry," an whisky run entirely short. Some prudent people had lain in sufficient stock but inore had not, and the suffering was enormous.

Dr. Kellum was in trouble, too—he sympathized with his neigbors, but lie had a half barrel of ninety-five per cent, alcohol in his office, ancl as far lis he was concerned, ho managed to fix up with sugar an' water, an' gum an' ether, an'sich truck, until he -made a purty fair drink. Seein' I was a friend of his, he invited me to sample it. Well, it kinder filled the room with the smell, an just then a man from the Mud River country came in on his way to Raleigh cote house. He smelt the smell, au says, I've been nigh two days from "hum, an I'm almost starved. 'Oh,J says Kellum, pintin' to the cask, 'that's it. Help yourself.'

The chap brightened up an' he drawed a level tumblerful of that alcohol, an' afore you could say 'scat, you beast,'down it went. ",

Kellum ho turned pale. '. ,fSays the man: 'I'm much obleeged to you, that's sarchin! an'he turned and Avalked out.

Kellum set as if he'd bin shot, and then jumped up. 'That won't do,' says he. 'That's enough to pizen a crowd. I'll call him back and give hiiii an emetic.

We both went to the door. He wasn't in sight, I run up to the crick, an Kellum, he run down the road, but it wasn't no use.

I shouldn't wonder, says Kellum, ^cf that chap hasn't gone and died somewhar by himself. Thar'll be a corpse found directly, an lots of trouble.

Well, we sot thare for about an hour talking about the chap's melancholy fate, when all to wonst, in walks the chap himself, as pert as a wild cat.

Doctor says he, I'm a gwine a long way up the river, and liquor isskcerce, an if it's all the same to you, could you spar me another tumblerful? It's the most satisfyin liquor I ever drank. —Old Guard.

HOW TO EN JOY HEAL TH. That people oat too much for good health, is conceded by all observing and educated people and that such gluttony is in most instances causcd by tempting the appetite by too great a number and variety of dishes, is equally true. Fowler, many years ago, proposed, as a partial remedy for this, that puddings and pies be eaten first, inasmuch as people usually eat as much as they want before they come to dessert, and' then eat that*because it is so palatable they cannot help it. Dr. Hall, in his recent work, "Health by Good Living," takes a similar view, only recommending simplicity, and not so great a variety, in our bills-of-fare. He gives a formula of what one should eat at different meals and on different days, and says his object in doing so is not to confine one to those precise articles, but simply to discourage the use of so many dishes. He says that persons at times have felt at the table that they had eaten enough but on seeing a very inviting dish unexpectedly brought in, a good meal has been eaten of this last variety. The general and hurtful error is that too great a variety is spread on our tables, not only occasioning trouble of^preparation and great loss, but also a positive injury in the temptation of thc appetite. 'The reader may try it upon himself on any two days. A dinner of one vegetable, one kiiid of meat and bread at dinner next day, let a great variety be presented ho will cat double the amount at this repast, with this remarkable difference an hour after the first meal, he will be entirely comfortable, will feel as if lie had eaten quite enough an hour after the latter, tlicre will be decided discomfort, a fullness, a feeling as if some kind of relief were desirable, and in too many cases a resort to thc decanter, with the vain hope of a riddance in sonic way. The doctor further says that the first step toward intemperate habits have been taken in using liquors to remove the unpleasant consequences of ovcr-eat-ing. There is doubtless a great deal of truth in this latter statement, and it is worthy of consideration from all who desire to enjoy good health at all times.

SALARIES

were paid, and the

prisoner sent back to the galleys. But, after lie was

gone,

the father asked a

private interview with the mayor, to whom ho told thc whole story. 'Ihe avor was so much affected, that he not onlv added francs to the father's purse, but wrote immediately to the Minister of Justice, begging the noble voung prisoner's release. '1 he minister examined into the aflair, and finding it was a comparatively small offense which had condemned thc young man to the gallevs, and that he had already served'out "half his term, ordered his release.

Mr. Jeflerson, thc famous Rip Van Winkle, can always obtain five hundred dollars a night for weeks, even months, in succession. Mr. Booth is reported to be worth several hundred thousand dollars." Mr. Lester Wallack is rich. Thc wealth of Mr. Forrest is well known. Even very ordinary actors accumulate comfortable fortunes by starring it in the small towns. It will be seen by these facts that succcss on the stage is accompanied by a pecuniary remuneration which no other profession can at all equal, lie is a very successful lawyer or doctor whose income is twenty thousand dollars a vcar. Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Booth or Sir. Fcchter, can make in less than two months a sum equal to the entire annual salary of the President of thc United States. In two weeks cither can make the annual salary of a United States Judge, a Cabinet Minister, or a United States Senator. In one week either can make as much as thc annual salary of many of our Governors.

His master was in the habit of giving him two pennies every morning at breakfast time, and sending him to buy a Sun of the newsboy.
