Speaking of opals, reminds us of
Mrs. Beecher's superstition about pre-
cious stones. On one of their marriage
anniversaries Mr., Beeoher presented his
wife with set of opals, with which she
seldom adorned herself, A short time
before Henry Waid's griovous
trouble with Tilton she opened the
casket, intending to wear her lew
els, but noticed they had dim appear
anco, rs though covered by steam. She
tried 10 polish them but thew refused to
bo frightened, so she closed the casket
and returned them 10 their hiding place
with her heart full of foreboding. When
their trouble was the darkest, she be-
thought her of the opals, and took
out again tho precious gems, which
had lost their entire brill
llancy. When the sunshine broke
through the clouds, and there was a
prospect OF her husbands vindicatlon,
she consulted the opals as a sibyl inter-
rogates the cards, aud found them
| clearer, and when he had gained the
entire victory the opals welo restored
TO their natural HUGS, but have never
since been worn by the owner Said
one OF the ladies to whom tho story was
being related: "The language of opal h
