The days ot the week were each sacred to a certain deity; Sunday and Monday to the mm and moon respectively; Tiwday has its name irom Tuesca, whom the Saxons supposed to be supreme ruler; Wednesday, named alter Woden, the god of war. Here is an explanation of oue of Falstaff's questions coneeruinir "honor." "Who hath it?" "lie that .lied on a Wednes day" that 1ft, killed in batt'.c, in the service ot Woden. Thursday is irom Thor, the cod of thunder; Friday from Frie-rn, the deity supposed to preside over trade; and Sat irdav from tsacter. the pod of liberty. From which last I suppose has defended the cuwtom of observim: that day as a holidav, and which I am thankful to say, is prettv duly kept by all who t in aiford tlie need Jul relaxation, wiU one remarkable exeentnn, namely, those who follow the u-elul cratt of Hhoonmkintr. It is well knov. 11 that they favor Monday as their day ot n.-'-re uion. which custom is said to have had its mi -in in the time of Oliver Cromwell. The story is that one of his penerals, namod Mundav, com-.iiiiti d suicide. Tho Protector offered a regard for the most suitable epitaph oommcmoratina the drath of his Irund. The siiccessl.il competitor was a worthy son of Crispin, who earned oil the palm by the lollowius epigram: God blees tho Lurd fiotoctoi ! And cursed bo wor'uiy poll; Tuesday shall betfiii tuo week, t-ineo Monilay 's hmxea himsell. AN An-ciiotp of Tm: Eurem Kucir.Nttf.
