Then there is the moonwort, famous for drawing the nails out of horses' shoes, and hence known by the rustic name of "unshoe the horse;" while the mouse-ear was credited with preventing the horses being hurt when shod. We have already alluded to the superstitions relating to birds and plants, but may mention another relating to the celandine.
Another correspondent from the south relates, that when he refused to go on till one of the four horses, who wanted a shoe, was shod, his two postilions in his hearing commenced thus: "Paddy, where will I get a shoe, and no smith nigh hand?" "Why don't you see yon jantleman's horse in the field? can't you go and unshoe him?" "True for ye," said Jem; "but that horse's shoe will never fit him."
