Superstition in Odd Numbers.

The idea Of virtue in odd numbers is very
ancient. Virgil mentions It in his eighth
Eciogue, where many spells and charms then
practised are recorded. The whole subject is
a curious one, and would make an interesting
work if all the opinions in regard to it were
given. Countrywomen hold it an indispens-
able rule to use an odd number of eggs in
setting a hen. Falstaff, in "The Merry
Wives of Windsor" permits himself to be
entrapped third time, and remarks:-" This
is the third time. hope good luck lies in odd
numbers Away--go. They say there is
divinity in odd numbers. either in nativity,
chance, or DEATH" It is % very common be-
lief at the present day. ir tlis country, that
the number thirteen is ominous, and that when
thirteen persons meet in room, one of them
will die within year. This superstition is
supposed to have arisen from the paschal sup
per.
The seventh son Of a seventh son is ac-
counted an infallible doctor; and tho number
seven, blythe way, is the most curious Of all.
The g b day was appropriated as one Of
rest, ai7FMe seventh year was directed to be
Sabbath of rest for all things. AT the end
of seven times seven years commenced the
grand jubilee. Pharoh's dream foretold sew
en- years Of plenty and seven years Of fam
inc. Under the Jewish law, man was com.
manjed to forgive his enemies seven times
aud under the Christian dispensation, seventy
times seven times. When Jericho was taken,
they encompasstd the city seven times. Eli
sha sends Namaan to wash in Jordan seven
times Elijah, on the top Of Carmel, sends
his servant seven times for rain. Solomon
was seven years building the temple, at the
dedication Of which be feasted seven days
The children Of Israel ate unleaven bread
seven days David, in bringing up the ark,
offered seven bulIocks and seven rams, The
apostles chose seven deacons and some IN
quirinu person. who has investigated this sub
ject to aspicety, states that the Saviour spoke
seven Nc from the cross, on which be re-
NAMED seven hours; that be afterwards ap-
peared seven times, and in seven times seven
days sent the Holy Ghost.
The number nine is regarded with more or
less superstition. particularly IN connection
with seven. Augustus Caesar was overjoyed
when he passed bis sixty-third year. because
he considered il the cimacteric one and that
then be was to live long life. This is nine
times seven, and is said TO bring great changes
in the life Of man. The whole belief In
any thing of the kind may be grossly super
stitious. and yet we are not prepared to say
that it is.-Nei0 York Sunday times.
