Went back to the stable and obtained
one of better stripe. Drove out to the
Gipsey' 3 show. Found there three or four
men and about the same compliment of wo-
men with a number of children-all Of tho
deceptive stripe. Called up one duck
paid her good half to tell our fortune
Told us that we would marry shortly.
that our future wife was one Of short ac-
quaintanse-that she was duck of a
girl who lived once across water; that we
would live all the days Of our life; that
we would be forever poor in something's,
but rich in others; that our future wife
would be glib, talented and pretty, and
that we would finally attain by cxtraor-
binary exertion on our part, to the res-
pectable and honorable position of Edi-
tor of some country paper. A great
many other things she didn't tell us-too
mum erous to mention.
Mrs. Gipsey woman said If we would
give her dollar gold piece, she would
give another dollar, sew it up in our
pocket-yest pocket--and by coming
some Macbeth witch iucantatlons over it
change it by morning into treasury
note worth a hundred dollars. Took
the honey up on that proposition. She
told us also it was necessary for US to
leave her our watch that she might know
the exact hour to make the said 'incanta-
tons Handed cut our watch, also, like
wise After extending our gratitude to
the kind dear We bid her adieu and
came to town determined never more to
speak to poor folks, but to hold our head
somewhat higher.
Sat up all night waiting to see the
treasure fly in our vest pocket. Out of
al! patience Ripped open our pocket
and found small button where our gold
dollar was placed. Came to the conclu-
sion that we had broken the charm by
being too anxious and hasty. Gypsey
woman very good but too sharp for green
bugs like us. We must look after our
watch
Our Valentines in the next. Crowdi- s
in. Busily engaged in reading them.

TO THE PU BLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward notion.
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
70 strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Tive men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland & Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
THEY'LL charge but moderate for their labor,
So now | invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.
