the superslitious in Europe as an unlucky day,
has served to usher in some Of the most important
events Of modern times. 1t was on Friday, as
ascertained by the calendar, that Columbus set
sail on his successful voyage for tile discovery Of

first made the land. II was on Friday that the
Pilgrim Fathers of New England landed on the
rock of Plymouth; and it was on Friday that

were born.-PhiIu. Ledger.
