COUNTING BY PROXY.

A pretty piece of scandal--no, it does not quite
belong to the Scandalous Chroncle-but piece OF
love strategy has recently made noise here, and
has become the talk of the salons. Let me add,
PEASANT, that Bit of scandal is no where received
with more govt than in the salons of Paris-no, not
even in the drawing rooms Of New York. But to
my tale,
The Due de Broglie is widower--so is NJ. Cur
rot The Due had one wife-namey, the daugh-
ter of Madame de Stael M. Cuizot had two The
Dues first venture had been so happy that he was
not disinclined to make a second NJ. Guizot being
a bold man, thought he would make third trial of
ma,rimony
And here, as an episode, allow me TO say, that If
two wives are good, three must be better Pour
guoi What says Cornelius Agrippa, IN his treatise
on Occult Philosophy In the exemplary world the
Hebrew name OF God is expressed by the two let
tiers Ian and Eli In the intellectual world there
two Ineligible substances, an angle and the
soul. In the celestial world there are two great
lights, the sun and the moon In the elementary
world are TWO elements producing living soul,
earth and water. In the lesser world are two prn-
cpal seats of the SOUL the brain and the heart In
the internal world two chief devs-Behemoth
and Leyiathan So are there two sexes--two poles,
and two of each animal entering the Ark. But, says
Agrippl, 1.-TWO Is unfortunate number" while
"Three is perfection Pliny, Pythagoras and Nir-
Gil, cali It lhe golden number. There three hi
eIarchies Of angels-supreme, middle and lowest
Three quarieInions OF signs-moveable, hrsl and
common. Three parts IN the body--heau, breast
and belly Three furies--ihree internal judges
three degrees Of the damned. Every thing is three
fold--beqinnng, middle, ending. Time Is three
past. present, future Magnitude-line, superhces,
and body Harmony is three-Diap1son, Hsmisii-
on. Diatessaron The Princes Of the work las The
Magi saw are three-Oromasis, MItris, and Arami-
MS Three multiplied by itself makes the irsi
square The Planets have three Circumstance
graces three fstes, AID three theological virtues
Faith, Hope and Chany ] hope this reconcile
matter proves the superiority OF three. Therefore,
/ NJ Guzo, was justified 10 looking for a third wife
g1OI erdi den0astrdaduSn, as We used 10 say when
we proved one Of Euclids propositions.
Now il happens that the Due de Broglie and NJ
Guizoi as leading politicians m this rHe de PdrI
are very intimate Therefore Guizot knew vel
iha, the Due had pretty cousin, one Mademoiseiie
De Broglie who has very pretty property IA her
own right-abOui f2O00 year, which Is not 20 b.
sneezed a. especially "a Pans which does not ooas
very great private incomes. Bot NJ. Guizoi is u
basg with politics that he really has lime 10 pa,
his depssrs 70 the lady and her property with the de
yoiedness that the occasion demands, and he com
pissioned the Duo 20 act for him, and win the LADY
Now there wa calculation IN ihisior, the LADY,
cousin. the Due might be supposed 10 have some In
fuence wiih her.
Wei. the Duke visited the lady, and eramine'
her face form and carriage, with attention
,han lyc had ever done before. You know ono get
