XBADITTONS COSCKIISINO FBIUAV AND KUN DAY—THE NUMBuK THIItTUES. [From “Struggles and T. inmphs; <*r, Forty Yetirs’ Hof*ol lections of P. T. B. ruum, W ritten by Limsi j/.”] nur-AY. In the sacuner ol 1863, a lady who happened to bo at tliat timoiai inmate of iny family, noon hearing me sty thrd I supposed we must remove into our summer residence on Tbur ;daj, because our servants might not like to go on Friday, remark- and: “ What uouhense iLct .s ! It is as tonishing tint, some persons are so foolisli ns to thiiik there is air/ differ ence in the days I c. 11 it rank heathenism to be so superstitious as to think one day is lucky and smother unlucky; ’ and then, in tin- most inno cent manner possible, alio .added: “I would not like to remove ou a bWai- j day myself, for they say people who; remove on thelast day of the wttk don't stay long.” Os course this was too refreshing a case of undoubted superstition to be permitted to pass without a hearty laugh from all who hemd it. BAINY SEN DAY'S. * * * Several years ago an old lady who was a guest at niv house, remark ed on a rainy Sunday: “This is the first Sunday in the month, and now it will ruin every Sun day in the month; that is a sign which never fails, for I have noticed it many a time.” ‘“Well,” I remarked, smiling, “watch closely this time, and if it rums on the next three Sundays, I will give you a new silk dress.” Slie was in high glee, and replied: “Well, you have lost that mess, as sure as you are born.” The following Sunday it did rain. “Ah, ha 1” exclaimed the old lady, “wh it did I tell you ? 1 knew it would rain.” i smiled, and said: “All right, watch for next Sunday.” And surely enough the next Sunday it did rain, harder than on either of the preceding Sundays. “Now what do you think ?” said the old lady, solmenlv. “ I tell you that sign never fails. It won’t do to doubt the ways of Providence,” she added, with a sigh, “for His ways are myste rious, and past finding out.” The following Sunday the sun rose in a cloudless sky, and not the slight est appearance of rain was manifested through the day. The old lady was greatly disappointed, and did not like to hear any allusion to the subject: but two years afterwards, win n she was once more my guest, it again hap pened to rain ou the tirst Sunday m the month, and I heard her solemnly predict that it would every succeeding Sunday in the month, for, she remark ed, “it is a sign that never fails.” She had forgotten the failure of two years before; indeed, the coutinnance and prevalence of many popular supersti tions is due to the fact that we notice the “ sign” when it happens to be veri fied, and do not observe it, or we forget it, when it fails. THE NUMBER THIRTEEN Many persons are exceedingly su- j perstitious in regard to tiio number! ‘•thirteen.” This is particularly the I case, I have noticed, in Catholic coun tries I have visited; and I have been told that superstition originated in the fact of a thirteenth apostle having been j chosen, on account of the treachery of Judas. At any rate, I have known numbers of French persons who had I quite a horror of this fatal number. — j Once I knew a French lady who had taken passage in an ocean steamer, and j who, on going aboard, and finding her assigned state-room to be “No. 13, insisted upon it that she would not sail in the ship at all; she had rather; forfeit her passage money, though fi- j uallv she was persuaded to take an-. other room. And a great many people, j French, English, and American, will not undertake any important enterprise j on the thirteenth day of the month, j nor sit at the tacle with the full com-1 piement of thirteen persons. With i regard to this number, to which so , many superstitions cling, I have some interesting experiences and curious j coincidences, which are worth relating as a part of my personal history. ; W hen I was first-in England w.tt? j General Tom Thumb, X well remember diuing one Christmas day with my friends, the Brettelis, in St. Jame s Palace, iu London. Just before the dinner was finished (it is a wonder it was not noticed before,) it was uiscov-1 ered that the number at table was exactly thirteen. 1 “How very unfortunate ! ’ remarked one of the guests; “I would not have ! dined under such circumstances for j any consideration, had 1 known it. “Nor I, either,” seriously remaiked another guest. “Do you really suppose there is any | truth in the old superstition ou that • subject ?” I asked. j “Truth!” solemnly replied an old | lady. “Truth! Why, X myself have j j known three instances, and ha ve heard : of scores of others, win re thirteen: persons have eaten at the same table, and in every case one of the number ! died before the year was out.” This assertion, made with so much ! I earnestness, evidently affected several of the guests, whose neives were easily excited. I can truthfully state, how ever, that I dined at the Palace again the following Christmas, and although i there we’e seventeen persons present, i every one of the original thi.ken who | dined there the proceeding Christmas was among this number, and all in good health; although, of course, it would have been nothing very remark able if one happened to have died ! duiirg the last twelve months. “While T was on my western lecturing tour in 1.366, long hes ' e I got out of 'lllinois, I began to ol erve that nt v-u’ious hotels where i stopped my i room very frequently was .No. 13. in deed, ;t seemed c* if this number turn ed up to me as often as fo“r times r week, and so before zmuiy days I i almost expected to have that number : set down to my name whenever I sigm-d upon the register ,of the hotel Still, I laughed to nivself at want I was convinced was simply a eoineideuoe. Oii one occasi-ni I was gravelling from Clinton to Mount Vernon. lowa, and ! was to acl avc in (he college of the latter place that evening. Ordinarily I should have arrived at 2 o'clock, F. ! ! L hut owing to an incident which j had occurred to the train from the { West, the conductor informed me that j our arrival in Ab net Vernon would j probably he delayed until after seveu i o’clock. I telegraphed that fact to the ! committee who were expecting me, and j told them to be patient. When w T o had arrived within ten ; miles of that town i: was dark. I sat i vat'aer moodily in the car, wishing the train would “hurry up;” and happen ing for some cause to look back over my left shoulder. I discovered the new i moon through the window. This omen • struck me as a coincident in additioct 6 my ili-luck, and with a pleasant chuckle I muttered to myself, “Well, I | hope I wont got room number thirteen ! to-night, for that will be adding insult to injury.” I reached "Mount Vernon a few min utes before eight, and was met fit the i depot by the committee, who took me in a carriage and Lurried to the Bal lard House. The committee told me ; the hall iu the college was already ; crowded, and they hoped I would de i ter taking tea until after the lecture. I ; informed them that I would gladly do j so, but simply wished to'run to my room a moment for a wash. While | wiping my face I happened to think; about the new room, and at once step-; ped outside of my bedroom door to 1 look at the cumber. It was “ number | thirteen.” I After the lecture T took tea, and I | confess that I begin to think that “number thirteen” looked a little ominous, '‘here 1 was, many hun dreds of miles from ay family; I letl my wife sick, and I began to ask mv-! j self does “ number thirteen” mean any ■ thing in particularV Without feeling! willing even now to acknowledge that 1 I felt much apprehension on the sub ject, I must say that I began to take a serious view of things in general. | I mentioned the coincidence of my i luck in so often having “ number thir i teen” assigned to me to Mr. Ballard, j i the proprietor of the hotel, giving him ‘ 1 all the particulars to date. “I will give you another room if you ! prefer it,” said Mr. Ballard. “No, I thank you,” I replied, wuli a S semi serious smile; if it *s fate, I will i take it as it comes, and if it means '■ i anything I shall probably find it out in j time.” That same night before retiring to rest I wrote a letter to a clerical friend, | then residing iu Bridgeport, telling ! him all my experiences in regard to ! “ number thirteen.” 1 said to him in | closing: “ Don’t laugh at me for being i superstitious, for I hardly feel so; i | think it is simply a series of “ coiuci i deuces” which appear the more strange because I am sure to notice every one that occurs.” Ten days afterwards 1 received an answer from my reverend : friend, in which he cheerfully said: | “It's nil right; go ahead and get *i um ber thirteen’ as often as you can. It is a lucky number,” and he added: “Unbelieving and ungrateful man ! What is thirteen but the traditional I ‘baker’s dozen,’ indicating ‘good meas ure, pressed down, shaken together, ; and running over,’ as illustrated in i your triumphal lecturing tour ? By all i means insist upon having room No. 13 ! at every hotel; and if the guests at any ! meal be less than that charmed com plement, send out and compel some -1 body to come in. { ’‘What do you say respecting the Thirteen Colonies ? Any ill-luck in the i number? Was the patriarch Jacob ; afraid of it when he adopted Ephraim ; and Manasseh, the two sons of Joseph, so as to complete the magic circle of . thirteen ? “ Do you not know that chapter thirteen of the First Corinthians is the grandest in the Bible with verse thu-1 toen as the culmination of all religious j thought*/ And can you read verse 13 of the fifth chapter of Xfcveiiition with out the highest rapture/” But my clerical mend hud not heard of a certain curious circumstance which occurred to me after 1 had mailed my letter to him, and before 1 received his answer. * * * My experience with this num ber has by no means been confined to apartments. Xu ILG7 a church iu Bridgeport wanted to raise several thousand dollars in order to get freed from debt. I subscribed one thousand dollars, by aid of which they assured me they’ would certainly raise enough to pay oil the debt. A few weeks ! subsequently, however, one of the ; "brethren” wrote me that they’ were; still six hundred dollars short, with but little prospect of getting it. Ire i i plied that I would pay one-half of the 1 ! sum required. The brother soon af i terwards wrote me that he had obtain-! ed the other half, and 1 might forward : him my sybscipiiou of ‘ thirteen” hun dred dollars. During the same season j 1 attended a fair m Franklin Ilnll; j Bridgeport, given l y a temper ncj j organization. Two of my little grand • daughteis accompanied me, and idling ; them to select what articles they de sired, I paid thednil, twelve dollars and fifty cents. “Whereupon I said to the children, "I am glad you did fietmako it thirteen dolhus, aud 1 will expend no more here to-night.” "We sal a wide listening to the. music, and finally ■*,nrfi.t(nn r -<-Tri; ■ -• i starti and for home, and as we vr r ingl a lady at one of the stands m-ai thq ffinr pilefl ontp* Mr Baru#m,yj*«! 1 have-not .mo- FI ease take 1 a chance m r y lottery >” ‘‘Cei twinh ’’ [ replied, “give me n ticket.” I paid her tbe price (tif’y cents), and after I ar j rived home. I discovered that, in spi'e if my expressed determination to the coietnuy, I had expended exactly “13” doll irs. 1 invited a few friends to a “ clam bake’ in the summer of 1868, nnd ow ing determined the party should not be thirteen. I invited fifteen, nnd they | nil agreed to go. Os ouur.se, one mar. I and his wife were “disappointed." ami | could not go—and my party munber | F-d thirteen. At Christmas, in the ! same year, ray children and grand ! children <fined with me, and finding on •‘counting noses” that they would number the inevitable thirteen, I ex pressly arranged to have a high chair placed at the table, and ray youngest grand-child, seventeen months old, was ; placed iu it, so that we should number I fourteen. After the dinner was over i we discovered that mv son-in law, j Thompson, had been detained down; town, and the number at dinner table, notwithstanding my extra precautions, was exactly thirteen. Thirteen was certainly an ominous j number to me in 1865, for on the 18th day of July the American Museum was burned to the ground, while the thir-i teenth day of N saw’ the open-; ing of “Barnum’s New American Mu- J seum,” which was also subsequently destroyed by five. Having concluded this veritable his tory of superstitious conincider.ces in regard to thirteen, I read it to a clerical friend, who happened to be present, and after reading the inarm- j script, I paged it, when my friend and i I were a little startled to find that the j pages numbered exactly thirteen. 4 picture of 5 liutianooga, by a Hell-liuuuu Writer. Chattanooga, October ‘2S, ISG9. Mu. Editor: —I Lke Chattanooga— that is, wimt I liavn’t seen of it—l suppose Ido —they say here that I do. I’ve been all about thisrnorniu’ lookin’ at ’em—that is, at Chattanooga. 1 axed several which was the town; they were silent in language, but in look and gesture “ proudly imminent.” It, or her, or they, is so scattered arid splotclie 1 about, that J don’t know yet where it, or they, or her—Chattanooga is. But I suppose it is here, or litre-, abouts. It seems to me like the place had had the measles, and by reason of! the war the disease had turned into small pox,, and was now gitiin wtli in patches. Five railroads come in here, but 1 couldn’t find but one depot,, and one hotel—the through business won't just ify am more—everything goes through. They are afraid to stop on account of freshets. Ire diets are big things here. They have such high ones and so many of ’em that the folks have got proud of ’em. They talk about their freshets just Lke wo do about steam boats and rolling mills, and commerce and trade—just like nobody else ever saw a freshet. “Was you ever here in time of high water says a fellow to me. “ No,” says I. “W< 11, sir, you don’t know anything about maritime business,” says be. '* Why, sir, I’ve seen the whole town from seventeen to forty-seven feet, deep in water. VY liv, t , there ain’t a city m these United States that has such floods. Old Noah, sir, would have been proud of it. He would have complimented us, sir ” ‘ I’ve no doubt of it myself. I no ticed the effects of ’em—they are per manent and progressive. I counted one thousand seven hundred one-story shanties, about seven feet high in the pitch, and the boards in the roof drawn by the sun until they looked like one of those frizzly chickens that Mr. Griffith has entered at the Fair. You see the freshet gits over ’em and re tires, and while they are wet the sun comes out and cups the board? like reap Looks. I didn’t s< e any shingles here much, and narry tin or slate.— Such things arc entirely too expensive to risk in a fresnet. The houses, 1 should say, with a few exceptions, cost about thirty-seven dvllaw and fifty cents apiece, on an average The City Council has passed an ordinal, ee for bidding the erection of stone or brick | buildings on Main street. I suppose j thev did, for I didn’t see but two or | three, and it must have took some ; bribery to have got such a privilege for ! them. Neatly all of ‘lie stores have a : front shed over the sidewalk. These sheds dpn’t cup down like Mr. Gam ! mon’s, but all of ’em tup up, fer the purpose. I suppose, of holding water when the freshet conies. The houses and stores are all built low, and have barrels on the ridge poles. They arc built low to keep them from turnin' over when the freshet comes; and the barrels arc tiled from high tide on such occasions, and don't evaporate all out until the next one comes along.—- The merchants here have a bard time in the way of insurance, for they have to ts ke out both fire and marine insu rance, and what in more, they can’t buy any'goods on time, unless they make their notes payable before the next freshet. But J like Chattanooga—that is. if 1 : know which one of 'em it is. i do know that there arc tnatty high hills I around her, or it, or them, which pro- j I .‘Sent a romantic appearance, and alj of ; which are wisely and graciously iir ! tended Ararats in time of trouble.

A CHAPTER IN THE LIFE OF A RED IUTEB TRADER. The following story is told by a Minnesota paper: “Among the most prominent mer chants iu iiio Janeiro, Brazil, some tif teeu years ago, was a young English man, who was possessed not only of a tine form and handsome features, but also of a snug fortune, the result of his own industry and business ability. His business required that he should, make occasional visits to England, and he had crossed the Atlantic many times. During one of these visits he met his fate in the shape of a beauti ful orphan girl, who accompanied him, on his voyage back to Rio Janeiro as Lis wife. For a number of years they led a happy married life, and two children were born unto them. The husband prospered in business and continued to make occasional visits to England, leaving his family at Rio Ja neiro. It was after his return from one of (hese visits that lie heard for the first time whispers against his wife. She indignantly denied the changes made against her, and dured him tQ, produce proof of his assertions. Tins he could not do, but a coolness arosd between them which became insup portable, and a separation was agreed upon. They w« re divorced according to the laws of Brazil, the husband aeG, Ring upon her a handsome annul y, which should continue dicing her life, or until she should marry again, when it should cease, she retaining the cub-* tody of the children. “Unable to remain at Rio Junejjp, the husband uqjirul up his lm converted his property info iron ay, and became a wanderer up6:u th# earth.
