Strange Credulity---A $4,000 swindle.


About two weeks ago, as a gentleman
farmer, living in Madison county, was
riding towards his home, not far distant,
he observed a man and a woman by the
road side engaged in repairing tinware.
A few days afterwards woman allied
at his house, and after some conversation.
asked him if he did not recollect her
He replied that he did not She then
told him that she had seen him on the
road few days before, and that his ap-
pearance had made such an impression
upon her mind, that she was compelled TO
call and see him She told him that she
was an astrologcr, and that she was well
acquainted with its mysteries. She saw
at once that he was an extraordinary per-
son, and knew that he had been born un-
der particular planet, and that great
things might be expected of him. She
then took from her apron a book which
seemed to contain a number Of diagrams,
figures, &c. and read from it, in an un-
known tongue, a few "hocus pocus' SEN
tences, after which, closing it and putting
it back into its hiding place, she went in
to the kitchen, bought a few pounds of
butter of the wife of the gentleman, for
which she paid literally, and went on her
way.
A day or two afterwards, the woman
called again, roiterating what she had
said on her first visit, the farmer paying
but little attention to what she said, look
ing upon the whole affair as an attempt
to humbug him. Not at all discouraged, 3,
the woman called again the next day,
and wound up her conversation by say
Ing that she knew where three hat crowns
full of gold had been buried upon his
farm, and that, if he would do as she di-
rected, they could recover it but that it
was necessary to allay the spirits that
stood guard over it; that a large sum OF
money must be present with them at the
ncantation She thought five thousand
dollars would be required, but was not
sure as to the amount and she proposed
if he would go into it, and furnish the
money, that she would give himtwo thirds
of the treasure, while she would reserve
the other one-third for her share.
Up to this time, the farmer appears to
have had no confidence in the woman :;

mysterious lines therein, telling him the

Fortunes of Q Pin.

In the year 1889, hoy called Laftte,
first appeared in Paris. He was poor,
and greatly desired to obtain an inferior
place in clearinghouse. Furnished with
a letter of introduction he went to the
house Of 4 rich Swiss banker to ask for
employment. He was frieudless, timid
and careworn, and the banker, thinking
him unfit for a clerk, told him he had no
room for him in lis Office.
The lad left the bankers richly gilded
room with sad heart. While crossing
the courtyard, with dropping lead, be saw
a pin on the ground; he stopped down,
took it up, and placed it carefully in the
corner of his coat, He did not think at
the time that this act, 30 trifing in itself,
would be the turning point in his life, and
tie means Of his future spleLdid success.
The banker saw from his window hat
had taken place, and, attaching great i'm
portance to triles, he was impressed by
the circumstance. This simple action
gave him a key to the character of
LATTE. 1t was a proof OF order and
prudence. Aud he thought that young
man who could thus take care of pin,
would surely make good clerk, and
merit the trust and good wishes of his
employer.
The same evening LATTE received a
note from the anker, Offering him a Sit
uation in his counting house, and asking
him to come and FIJI the place at once.
The discerning banker was not deceiv-
ed in his hopes; for he soon found that
the young pin-saver possessed all the
good qualities he expected.-From clerk
Laftte soon advanced to be cashier, aud
at length was received into partnerships,
and afterward became the owner of the
largest bank in Paris, and one of the
richest men in the world. He was not
only rich, generous, great and powerful,
but was chosen a deputy of the people.
and made President OF the Council Of
Ministers, and was in every respect the
most influential citizen Of France.
We see in the eventful history of this
once poor and unknown lad, AMI after
ward rich and honored statesman. the
power of honesty, and the success which
crowns industry.

twenty third Psalm during his wander
ings in the night, he was overcome by
drowsiness, and in few minutes was in a
deep sleep.
1t was about the hour when the gentry
were accustomed to take their morning g
airing. \ carriage drove up to the man
sion in front of which Theodore was lying.
a gentleman alighted from it, with lady
in morning. They could not help noticing
the lad, for he was lying not far from the
door; and, having once seen him, they
could not take their eyes off, but gazed at
him with deep attcntiyn. 1t was not ow-
ing SO much to the strange attire in which
he was clad, or his long black hair which
touched the pavement; but over his feat
ureS might be again seen that sweet gen
tie smile which played upon them when
he lay, little one, as we have described, :,
in the cornfcld. Perhaps he saw again,
in a dream, the angels ascending and de-
sccnding on Jacobs ladder. The sor-
rowful eye of the lady was fixed on the
sleeping youth, and could not withdraw
itself. Soon, also, the gentleman became
equally interested. How is this?' he said
to his wife, would not our Theodore, if
he were still alive, be about the size of
this lad!' But the temale-O holy, moth
ers love, who can fathom thee only
that Being who gave the eye that instan-
taneously saw the image of her own lost
boy, with the liveliest distinctness, en-
bodied before her in that sleeping beg
gar-boy!
When Theodore awokc, and could use
his eyes and lips, question followed que$-
ton; and by every fresh answer the COLI
Viction was increased that they had be-
fore them their lost child. But in such
a case not mere probability, but certain
ty, is longed for; and this could only be
obtained by inquiries on the spot. They
resolved, therefore, to set out for Lucow-
liza the next morning. Meanwhile, The
odore was brought into the house, and
suitably clothed; yet he could not, all at
once, adapt himself to Lis altered circum-
sqances. On waking the next morning
he said: Mother, to-day is fine one for
NE; no rain, no snow, no storm; capital
begging weather this!; My poor child "
replied his mother, while her tears flowed
apace, there is now an end of thy beg
ging. have mourned for thee ever since
we lost thee, and constantly dressed in
black. To-day [ shall put on white, and
from this hour thy life toll is at an end;
but thy begging-walIet, which thou lro't-
est home SO empty, we will keep as me-
mortal, that thou mayest continue humble
and grateful to the Good Shepherd, who
has guarded his wandering sheep, and
brought it back pniniured to the fold
Next day they travelled all together to
Lucowiza, which its former proprietor
had long before sold. Some Of the form
er inhabitants had fixed themselves on
the same spot again; but no one could
give any account of the lost child. From
Lucowiza they proceeded to the village
where Theodore had passed six happy
years. The poor widow, whom l nell
toned before, was still living, and was
delighted to see the boy once more. From
her his parents learned enough to satisfy
them that Theodore was their son.

ceased, aud the din of war seemed with
drawn to another quarter. They vcntur-
Cd to retire 10 rest for they had kept
anxious watch on several preceding nights.
But at midnight the Inhabitants Of the
village we're startled out of their sleep by
the discharge Of artillery; aud, before
they had left their beds, part Of the village
was in flames. which were carried by a
violent east wind from one thatchcd roof
TO another. The FIRE had broke out in
the neighborhood of the castle, it soon
caught the outouildiDgs; and, when the
Baron woke out of his sleep, be could not
tell whether his rest had been broken by
the noise of cannon, or by the flames
which glared upon his chamber windows.
While putting on few clothes, the dang
er became so great that be could not hope
70 DO more than escape with his life from
the burning castle.
Have you got the child p cried the
Baroness to the nurse, whom she saw run
ming out of the house.
Yes, | have it, she answered; only
make haste
The parents hurried through the gar
den-walks after the maid; but she was
soon out of sight, and, though they cal
led after her, the sound Of their voices
was lost amidst the report of musketry,
the cries of distress, and the crash of fall
ing buildings Urged forward by the fu-
gitiyes from the village, they fastened to
the adjacent wood for safety, and strain
ed every nerve to get beyond the reach
Of the cannon, and the tumult OF var
The nurse, they thought, could have taken
no other way, and would be found again
in the morning. Day came, as it surely
will, after the longest and most troubled
night. They had left the wood behind
them, aud had reached the clear open
country. Here and there might be seen
a little band of fugitives; some with a
bundle, small or large, Oh their backs;
others with only scanty supply Of clothing
which they had hastily put on. . how
earnestly and inquisitively did the afilic-
ted parents cast their eyes around after
their lost child! They FASTENED breath
less from one group to another, in order
to find their precious treasure with the
nurse; and every moment the quleknesS
Of their pulse and the anguish OF their
hearts increased, as each inquiry in sue
