FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23.
SUPEKSTITIOUS NeGBO COASTMEX.?No
reward could induce the negro 6urfmen on
the Xorth Carolina coast to walk along the
bsach at Dight, especially during a etorm,
when the lightning ia flashing and the huge
white capped breakers come sputtering in
on the sandy beach. They imagine tbey
can see in the phosphorescent light the
forms of eailors who were lost at sea, riding
in astride of the huge billows. On account
of this superstition it has been found im
possible to induce negro coastmen to euter
tbe life saviog service, no matter how well
adapted they may be for the w ?rk. The
odious night patrol along tbe desolate sea?
shore is what tbey object to. The average
seashore negro would almost rather die thau
encounter the vague form of a departed sailor i
man in the surf or on tbe beach.?Brooklyn
Citizen. _^ ^_
There is & Scandinavian tradition to the
effect that kissing was first introduced into
England byRowena, the beautiful daughter |
of Hongist. Again, in Cromwell's ?me,
when tbe banished Cavendish visited a
French nobleman at his own chateau, the
mistress of the house, at tbe bead of htr
maideos, thus greeted him : "Forasmuch as
ye be an Englishman, whose custom it is in
your country to kiss all tbe ladies and gen
tie women without olfense, and a though it be
not so here in this realm, yet will I be so
bold as to kiss you, aud so shall all mi
maidens."
"Fools Rush in. Where Angels Fear
to Tread.'*
So impetuous youth is often giveu lo foiiy
and indiscretions ; and, as a re.-^it, nervous,
mental and organic debiliu follow, memory
is impaired, self-confidence is lacking; at
night bad dreams occur, prematuie old age
seems setting in, ruin is in tbe track- iu
confidence, you can, and should write to
Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., ihe au?
thor of a treatise for tbe benefit of that class
of patients, and describe your symptoms and
sufferings. He can cure you at your home,
and will send you full particulars by "mail.
