WEDDING SUPERSTITIONS.
A bride who finds a spider on her wedding dress may consider herself blessed.
The bride who dreams of fairies the night before her marriage will be thrice blessed.
If the wedding ring is dropped during the ceremony the bride may as well wish herself unborn, for she will always have illluck.
Marry when the year is new, Always loving, kind, and trueWhen February birds do mate, You may wed, nor dread your fate. If you marry when March" winds blow, Joy and sorrow both you'll know. Marry in April when you can, Joy for maiden and for man. Marry in the month of May, You will surely rue the day. Marry when June roses blow, Over land ancl sea you'll go. They who in July do wed, Must labour always for their bread. All who wed in August be, ->____, Many a change are sure to see. 'jV Marry in September shine, Your living will be rich and fine. If in October you do marry, Love will come but riches tarry. If you wed in bleak November, Only joy will come, remember. When December's snows fall fast,
If you marry love will last,
If the groom carries a miniature horseshoe in'his pocket he will always have good luck.
No bride or groom should be given a telegram on the way to church. It is positively a sign of evil.
Kiss a bride right after the ceremony, and before the newly-made husband has a chance to do so, and you will have excellent luck throughout the year.
Should a bride perchance see a coffin while being driven to the railway station prior to departing upon her wedding tour she should order the driver to turn back and start over again, or else she will surely meet with bad luck. —"M'Call's Magazine."
