A VERY strong opposition is being
developed in some parts Of the State
against Mr. Camden for United States
Senator. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that no such bitter feeling may be
engendered rs when he was last a
candidate. Mr. Camden has a per-
feet right to run for Senator, and if
the majority Of the Democrats are

is rather good thing, after all, that

THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.

The wide spread superstition concern
ing the unlucky thirteen at table, ac-
cording to which one of the number
is doomed to soon die, doubtless has
its origin IN the fact that at the Last
Supper there were that many persons
assembled at the table with our Lord.
In that instance, Judas Iscariot was
the one who gave up his life; not,
however, from any superstitious notion
regarding the number in question. but
from remorse at his dastardly betrayal
of his Lord and Master.
Among the many notable intances of
implicit belief IN this omen, that quoted
by Bishop Burnet in his story of the
conversion and death Of the famous
Earl OF Rochester Is particularly Inter
esting. He states that his lordship
told him of an old presage his chaplain
had of his approaching death in the
house OF the earl's motherin- -law-the
Lady Ware. This chaplain had
dreamed "that such day he should
die; but being by all the family pu1
out of the belief of it, he had almost
forgot It, till the evening before al
supper, there being Muteen at table
according to a fond conceit that one
of these must soon die, one of the

PREACHING AND. PRACTlClNG.

We boast OF our beautiful, Godliko creed
OF the love we feel for our brother man:
But do practice well as preach,
Whenever, whoever we can?
DO We pause for the weary one by nc way,
And help them along from day to day?
We tell OF the erring whom Christ forgave,
When he walk ed. on the sinful earth,
How he cheerfully, grandly cast his lot
With ignorant people OF human birth;
DO we cast from our hearts all pomp and pride,
And welcome earth's Iowly ones to cur side?
We talk OF the masses. and strive TO frame
A law that shall right their every wrong;
We stir tie pulse OF the listening world
With eareSt speeches and rythmc song;
Do we stoop with charity pure and sweet,
To the struggling brother clole to our feet?
We say that Gods love embraceth all
Who have ever lived OF who ever Will;
That it bids US succor the poor, in need,
And render good for each passing Ill.,
We love to talk of our beautiful creed,
But how doas our daily record read?
Do we turn aside from our chosen way,
That another may share the pleasant road?
DO we wipe the tears from the mourner's eyes
And help the laden to bear his load?
Do We keep the Golden Rule in our mind,
And strive for the good OF all mankind?
Alas. we are all too prone to err;
Too often we bhudly 20 astray,
And wander TAR in the downward path,
While showing another the upward way.
Lord help US to practice the creed We preach.
And honor the truth we iain would teach.

dream, fell into some disorder and

superstition, be said he was confident
he was to die before morning but he
being in perfect health it was not much

Among the French every precauhon
is taken to avoid the seating of thirteen
al dinner. In many cases the host
has been known TO dispatch messengers
to bring in fourteenth friend to dis
pei the supposed fatal charm, when by
some inadvertence or accident the
original number Of invited guests
was reduced to thirteen.
As an instance OF the hold this sup
erstition has on our Gallo friends, it is
related that several years ago DINNER
was gwen by fashionable club of
New York to the officers of a French
frlgate lying in the harbor. Upon sitt-
ing down to the table 1t was discovered
that the COMPANY numbered but thir-
teen. Another person was vainly
sought after, to break the spell. There
upon one OF the officers arose, from
the table and left the room, thus leaving
his friends in the security of safe
dozen, although denying himself a
most enjoyable and tempting repast.
In Paris there are men who make it
a profession to be always in readiness
to act as the fourteenth guest, beng
known by the title of quatorziemeS,
or fourteenth men," One of these

The sky is the clear atmosphere,
unobscured by clouds. Its beautiful
blue color is supposed to be due to
the waterY vapor that is dissolved in it.
There is almost more or less of this
vapor in the atmosphere, the amount
depending on the temperature of the
air. At seventy-seven degrees 1000
cubic feet of air holds in solution I 900
grains or over two ounces of water.
This has naturally blue color, inherent
in it, and the color Is caused by the
effect of light. But there is remark
able fact which explains why the color
is so intense, and this is that it is due
to the presence in the air, and the
vapor as well, of unaccountable small
particles of dust floating in the atmos-
phere. This dust is made up of al
most every substance in existence,
organic and inorganic, which in its fine
state of division from various causes
has been carried into the air and dlf-
fused through it by the winds. Some
of this matter is the product of the
decay Of organic matter, some comes
from volcanoes during erup.ions, and
some of it is meteoritlc, and produced
by the decomposition of meteors in
the atmosphere when they are con-
sumed as we see them as shoStiHG,.
stars, so called. 1t is known that this
! atmospheric dust also exists IN water,
and the refraction of the light from
these innumerable particles either in
water or air, or in this case here ex-
plsined in both of these, greatly in
tensifies the blue color. 1t is not ozone
IN the air that produced this color, for
this is nothing more than a mere form
of oxygen dissolved IN the air, and so
rare IN its condition that hight has no
effect upon it, but simply this atmos'
phenc moisture and the dust that IS
contained IN it and in the air. IL Is

! No sooner had he cast his eye upon
! the marble face than he too went back
in years farther than his brother in the
church had gone.
/ The very day was like this day. The
scent OF roses filled the air, and the
sound of children's laughter came in
through the open window. He remem-
bered how it smote his sore little heart,
for the baby, the best beloved of the
household, was dead. From that day
to this he had never seen a dead baby.
He bent over the little face. He could
see the faint blue outline underneath
the pale lid just as he saw it through
his boyish tears SO many years ago,
and felt that if he waited patiently
the dear eyes would open and look up
again.
He had forgotten his brother deacon.
Never had he forgotten him in the
church when IN bitter silence they had
met and parted.
You remember, don't you-he said,
softly, then stopped suddenly, for the
sound of his voice called him back
from the past.
The tall lank man beside him was no
longer the school fellow who had led
him away after the baby was buried
and had given him his "new fish-pole
to kind O. take his mind off," but
brother deacon who refused to speak
to him even after communion.
What-what did We say? stammeied
the lank deacon, mildly.

my baby brother that died when we

tul face at one another. The lank dea-
con said not word, but over the tiny
folded hands his big hony palm closed
closely oyer the fat hand of the little
deacon, and the troubled soul of the
young parson grew calm, and his ever
charged heart found relief IN tears.
That which he had struggled and
prayed to accomplish through nearly
the whole of one administration had
been achieved almost in the passing of
a moment.
The deacons went their way, and as
they walked up the main street, the
villagers, seeing them together in friend
ly converse, wondered, sneered, smiled,
or reiolced, each according to his ma
ture.
The parsons wife crept back beside
the little shape to lay her aching head
upon the same pillow, where the sun
still fingered and the tiny yellow rings
seemed lost in golden glory that was
not of earth. And 1t seemed to her
that at same moment she heard the So
norous voice of her young husband
from the old pulpit, where he had
read, only the Sunday before, her
favorite hymn, beginning,
