Unknown to apy one she answered that letter aceepting bis love, forgiving and venturing excuses even for his past conduct, and informing him that she was now prepared to give him that inber- itance which to them bad been the source of so much unhappiness. That letter of hers was destined never to reach him. To avoid any conjectures which might ever arise if seen to deposite a letter addressed to that name, she induced, by a liberal reward, a neighbor's servant, whum she kmew could not read, to take the letter to the post office. This Servant, to get leave of absence, took with her one of her mistress's children. To amuse the child she allowed it to oarry the letter ; and the little one, pleased with the red stamp, as they walked along, succeeded im removing it. The letter was deposited in the office with- out a stamp, and never of course sent A few words more closes this brief history. t the Iady’s former guardian, ician, received a Chicago news- h had been sent to him becau: contained a political speech; after reading it. he laid it down with some remark upon the extraordinary growth of the city from whence t es came.

In that paper was the anuouncemeut of the marriage of her destroyer.—Chicago Times. Lucky and Unlucky Days. The belief in lueky and unlucky days is une of the most prevalent of human superstition. There are traces of it among all the nations of antiquity, and some of more recent date. The Lith of the first month was esteemed aus- nus by the Jews, because it ended their captivity in Egypt. On the other hand. the 10th of August iil-omened; for on thut day the first temple was destroyed by Nobu- chadnezzar, and the second by Titus six bun- dred years after. The Romans would never undertake any business on the 13th ef Fob- ruary, (Dies Alliensis.) which was the anni- versary of the battle of Allia, when the nation was almost annihilated by the Gauls. The Carthagenians had the same superstition a}ont the 22d of August. Louis XI. of France es- teomed it an evil omen if any one spoke to him on business on Innocent’s ay. There have been some remarkable ooinei- dences of days in the lives of distinguished men. The same day of the month bas not unfreguently been the day of birth and of death. and the date of some memorable event Alexander the Great was born on the 6th of April. On that day he won two of his most important victorieson; that day he died. Ua that day his father, Philip, conquered Poti dea, aud on that day Parmenio, Philip's Gencral, overcame the [llyrians. Pompey the tireat was born and died on the 30th of Sep tember, and on the same day triumphed on his return from Asia. Augustus was opt. ed by Julius Cesar om the 19th of August, and on the I of August he died. The wife of Henry VIL., was born and died on the Ith of February. Sir Kenelm Digby was born and died on the 11th of June. He eonquered at Seanderoon on the same day. His epitaph commemorates the coincidence. ‘* Under this stone the matchless Digby lies, Pk he great, the valiant, and the wise: This Skilled wonder for his noble parts, in six tongues and learned in all the arts ; Born on the day he died —theeleventh of Junc— On which he bravely fought at Scanderoon Tis rare that one and seif-same day should be iis day of birth, of death, of victery.”’ Raffaelle, was born and died on Good Friday 3 eare's birthday was also the day of his de April 234. The 25th of February was thrice memorable to Charles V. of Spain, of his birth, the day of his victory over Francis, King of France, and the day on which he re- eeived the imperial crown at Bonoma. Charles II. of England was born and restored to throne ef the 2¥thof May. The 3d of Soptem- ber was merked in the history of Cromw :!] as the date of the victory at Dunbar, a f thet at Worcester, and as the day of his death ys of the week have sometimes been sig- nalized in a similar manner. Tuesday was a day of note to Becket the English saint Ox Tuesday the Lords passed judgment upon him at Northampton: on Tuesday he went into exile; on Tuesday he hada vision in which his doem was forctold to him; on Tuesday he returned from exile; on Tuesday he died, and on Tuesday was canoaized.

Heary VII. ealled Saturday his fortunate day, as that on which he gained the battle of Bosworth, and that on which he entered London. It is remarkable that four of the Tudorsin succession died on Thursday, beginning with Henry VILL., the second, and ending with Elizabeth, the last of the lino Ancieut calendars designate tw: ays in each month as unfortunate, namely, of Jane ary the first and seventh, February the third and fourth, March the first and fourth, Apri! the tenth and eleventh, May the third and seventh, June the tenth and fifteenth, July the tenth and thirteenth, August the first and second, September the third and tenth, No- vember the third and fifth, December the sey- enth and tenth. Lach of these days was de- voted to some peculiar fatality. Whether the change of ‘style’ introduced towards the close of the last century, by deranging the ealendar order, has affected the character of these days, we are unable to say or our own part, we agree with Heraclitus, who blamed Heriod for calling sume days lucky and others unlucky az not cerning that * the nature of every day is the same.’” Aud we heartily subscribe to the saying of St. Paul, who, after meutioning that “‘one man esteemeth one day above smother, but the wise man esteemeth every day alike,” adds “let every man be fully persuaded in bis own mind.”’"—Civsistian Enquirer. oe E93" A young Irish student at the veterinary college being asked, ‘‘If a broken winded horse were brought to him to cure, what would he advise?’ replied, ‘* Sell him as soon as pos- sible.’’ This reminds us of the reply of a gentleman of this city, when examined for admission to the bar.
