ter Of deceased friend, and now hi
ward, who had arrived only that morning
and whom, presumiug on Madame Au

tured to present her. .I
Madame Auderly, a reader Of faces

she called Sybil's Circle, for which pur.
pose, Messrs. Heine and Sterne were dis
patched to bring forward round table.
Miss Rose went to cabinet to seek the
"Sy oil's Leaves" which she presently
produced. All then seated themselves
around the table.
The dead silence reigned. Rose shut
fled the cards, turned them with their
faces down, and then addressing her right
hand neighbor, Mr.. Sterne, in low
voice, she demanded
"Wha, would you with the Sybil?"
IL would know the future partner Of

and shouts Of laughter.
II was now Miss Jsssie's turn to test
her fate. Being young lady. she would
not put the question in the usual form, but

"Well, well-the commonds of young
ladies are not to be disobeyed," replied
the old man, gallantly, as he extended
his hand and drew card, which he
passed to the Sybil.
Amid a profound silence, and in SOL
emn voice, she read
" Thy fate looms full Of horror From false
friends.
Near at hand perdition threatens thee -
A fearful sign stands in thy house Of life -
An enemy--a fiend, Turks cose behind
The radiance ofthy planet oh, be warned ;"

"Draw !" said the Sybil, in tone Of
