rybil, after performing some cerensony,with a Bible and a key, fixed
upon a certain letter its the alphabet as the tint letterus (se person's
name win) stole the note, and that letteriisprening to correspond
with the applicant's name, the fortnite.teller and the landlady im-
mediately pointed him out as thedeiimqeent, and the Lady new
openly started him with having stolen . the note. He therefore
begged to know what to do?
An old Lady, mho happened tts be in the office upon other busi-
nesri seeing both the Magistrate and theeompiatuant ignorant of
these solemnities, stepped forward and said the would explaist. she
knew the fortune-teller alluded to, and she was leiter wrong in her
preeictions. l'ise ceremony was this Bible was placed upon „ne
end on a table, and on the other end the key of a street door w;:s
placed perpendicularly half-way down anteing the leaves, Whercref
they chanced to open, and in that position .thekkey Is Made 15.4, b
binding the Bible tight mood with a string, so that no Inate(
power, without breaking the string, could turn the key round
the honk. The inspired woman then repeats Curtain words, a:,..•
makes ceryin signs over the Billie. when the key is seen to hr-

alphabet is nearest the wards of the key, that Ic surely she first letter
of the name sought for. Haviog givesr this ustplanatimi, the uo
Lady turned to the complainant, and said • Soiyoung nun, if ti.,
kcy stopped at a letter that your 'tame begins with, I aut vet
sorry fur you."
" There, yr:or Worship," said the complainant," that's what they
all say, that I must he guilty; altd what am I t o do?"
" Why," ilia Mr. Hoe, " I am really surprised t€l licir a yo;:rg
man of your appeardr.ce talk seriously aboutsuch folly. The ohif
advice I can give you is, when your brall.stly, or any one tise,
speaks to you on the subject, take nountice of 'them, unless ft to
to laugh at them ; but if you can lay hold au the routine-tells:
whoperformed these ceremonies, and fix this charge upon her,
we will see if we cannot find some otberemployment for her, in she
Clouse of Correction."

The applicant thanked his Worship, but said he feared he sketahl
have no peace; and, as he was tetiring, the Old Lady in the
Office exclaimed, " What a pity so nice a young man should 10
such a thing !"
