Superstitions And Customs Connected With Judas Iscariot.
Customs of Durham , "—we find it stated of a Judas' cup that it was a " goodly great mazer , " edged with silver , and " double gilt , " with a foot of the same to stand on . This was used on Maunday Thursday , at night , when the convent met . They have a curious custom in Wales of boiling puddings for each of the Apostles on Christmas Eve , except Judas Iscariot . The last one is eaten as the year is up to ensure good luck .
Out Of Tune.
OUT OF TUNE .
BY . W . CORBETT . IT seems but yesterday that we , Together side by side , Stood in the church in unity
, And thou wast mine—my bride ! Our future seemed as fair and bright As that bright day in June ; Our hopes were gay , our hearts were light , And danced to merry tune !
To " cherish and protect , " that day , I vowed a vow to thee ! And thou did ' st promise to " obey "To " love ancl honour " me . And we were very happy then , But time did changes bring . Well—I became like other men , And thou didst cease to sing .
The billing and the cooing clays Have long since passed away , Ancl we have trod our sep ' rate ways , And further gone astray ! The love , which in the early years Of wedded life was known , Departed long ago in tears , And has for ever flown .
Alas ! ' tis true what thou hast said , I love thee now no more 1 Thy temper fills my mind with dread , Thy presence is a bore ; Hence at my club I spend each ni ght , For I am happy there ; And if I sometimes do get " tight , " There is no one to care .
