Superstition Attached to Stones,

The opal, one of the most beautiful
of all the precious stones. has had any
amount of superstition attached to it.
BY some the ill-luck attributed to it's
use is said to have arisen from Sir Wal
ter SCOTS mention of it in "Anne OF
Geierstein." He ascribed it to super.
natural agency; and long after that nov
Ell was published the belief in it's evil in
fuence was SO strong that no one would
wear an opal. That may have been the
first conception of evil from wearing
opals, but we think it sprung from East
ern superstition, or at least that there
were many and various legends connect
ed with it. Some believed that it often
changed from the brilliant luster to q
smoky, dull color, and that any such
change foreshadowed misfortune and
trouble, but did not bring it. We
know of an instance where a lady
brought an elegant opal necklace to a
jewelers., desiring to sell it. They at.
tempted to dissuade her from. such
folly, saying that, the setting being
old-fashioned, they could give her very
little for what was really valuable. 70
this she replied that the necklace was
given her asa bridal gift forty years be-
fore, and she never had had an hours
luck since they came in her possession,
and she would never carry them home
with her. No matter how little they
we're willing to give her, she would
leave them. She did so, but we have
never heard if, by disposing of her
opals for mere trifie, she escaped sub
'sequent misfortune.

To President Lincoln and large COM
pany at the White House, Mr.. Murdoch,
tragedian, once read Janvier's poem of
the "Sleeping Sentinel"-a poem written
in memory of Mr.. Lincolns clemency in
pardoning young Vermont volunteer at
the very moment when he had been led
out to be shot for sleeping at his post.
Before the reading Mr.. Murdoch private
ly pointed out to Mr.. Janvier that the
President had ridden in saddle to the
place OF execution, and that there was
therefore no sound of rolling wheels as
described in the poem. Mr.. Janvier
thought it a matter of trifing conse-
quence, and the reading went on. At
the end Mr.. Lincoln and many others
were in tears. The President, viping the
drops from his cheeks, said hastily, in a
smothered voice: Every touching, Mr..
