81 do not know him, madam"
"a dark man; thirty-six years DID,"
"It is my best friend"
"Knave of hearts: He is DESTROYS of be-
coming your wifs's best friend, sir.
"You amaze me; | am thunder-struck."
"For three months past he has been try
ing to induce her to accept set OF dia-
monds that he knows you have refused to
purchase"
1T ia true.
"Queen Of hearts But she declines his
offer with dignity; it is from you only she
is willing to accept any ornament that may
add to her beauty"
"Poor woman!n exclaimed the relenting
husband"
Here our sibyl again took up the cards,
and divided them into three parcel, which
she thus explained
"You blush at the suspicious you have
entertained" ----..
Because you assure me of the honor of
my wife"
"She dreams of nothing but your pleasure;
at this very moment she is engaged in some
scheme to advance your happiness. But,
what do see Eight Of clubs and nine of
hearts,"
as this bad fortune?"
"Quite the contrary you are thinkig of a
present for your lady"
30! present."
"The set of diamonds
Tndsed, indeed"
FIN order that having no wish unqualified
she may be exposed to no temptation
"But these jewels are very DEAR"
ooh! Sir, can you too generously reward
the virtue of a woman that adores you ,
my wife adores me! -
Eight Of Hearts and Ace of Spades
Madame DeJulien loves no one but her hus-
band"
THESE words which proved the extent
of the young magicisn's science DeJulien
rose from his seat in transports; he cast up
on the table purse of indefinite weight;
and ran TO the jeweller to purchase the hap
py talisman which was to restore felicity to
his household. Good fortune all that day
followed his footsteps; the jeweller in an ex
cess of good humor, made considerable
discount, and the virtue of his lady cost
much less than he anticipated.
AS soon as her husband was gone, Mad
anne De Julien re-appeared from her hiding
place, and embraced her friend with every
expression of kindness and tender gratitude.
But they immediately separated, for it was
necessary that the young wife should return
home to receive her spouse and her dia
monds.
The sibyl liberated me and prevented ev'
cry manner of reproach on my part, by
laughing herself, with very pretty grace,
at the scene of which she had made me
witness. Il will not propose to you now
said she, to cast your horoscope what you
have just seen and heard forbids the degree
of confidence that is required for those that
come to consult me but would ask you
not to Judge my conduct with too much Sc
verify. Men are but grown up children
who pay to he deceived and the error
which hatters is better than the truth which
affiots them. Instead Of tearing away the
veil that conceals the fruits OF De Julien's
spouse dsrken them more deeply, and take
the same care to render his future days hap
py that another would take to make them
miserable. Shall predict to the opulent
banker, who astonshes all Paris with the
magni6cence that he will one day envy the
lot of the wretch he now repulses with dis
dain? Shall say to the father, exultng
in the birth of son, this child will cover
your old age with shame, and bring your
gray hairs with sorrow to the grave? Shall
I tell Forio the firtations of Lisette, and
Lissette the infdelity of Florio? Mol
Were to do so, should soon destroy my
own credit, and see nothing more Of this
multitude of. visitors who now crowd about
my house to:feeeive the appreciation of their
follies and the Confirmation Of their hopes.
| have takenIa surer path | tickle the fol-
ly of every one of them. Without COM
promising my character, give good for
tune to the whole world. They 60 away
from my house quiet in heart and mind,
and promise themselves to pay another visit
to the little sorceress who makes them SO
happy at such trifing expense.
