_May Marriages_.--It so happened that yesterday I had both a Colonial
Bishop and a Home Archdeacon taking part in the services of my church,
and visiting at my house; and, by a singular coincidence, both had
been solicited by friends to perform the marriage ceremony not later
than to-morrow, because in neither case would the bride-elect submit
to be married in the month of May. I find that it is a common notion
amongst ladies, that May marriages are unlucky.
Can any one inform me whence this prejudice arose?
