ghost than animated clay, assumes to tell
by the grounds of tea in cup, not onl,
What has happened and what will occur
but also to reveal the secret emotions o
hearts and tell the amount of bidder
affection which may be lavished upon tn,
subject under examination.
A married couple in this city, who al,
old enough to have better control ov.'
their feelings and more judgment in ths
formation Of opinions, have been haunted
by the greeneyed monster, each being
Jealous of the other, and out of this con-
dition of things have sprung numerous
family jars-sometimes one being the
subject of blame and then the other.
For final settlement of their troubles,
they agreed to visit one of these fortune
ceiling women, each confident of startling
revelations concerning the other Both
being elated with the prospect of final
triumph, they bore their way with light
steps to the dingy apartments of the
sorceress, paid her stipulated fee and
gained her consent to examine each in the
presence of the other.
Finally, the dirty old tea cup, which
had seen years of service in revealing hid
den mysteries to gaping specimens of
Eank credullty, was brought forth, ready
prepared with the Wisdom-laden grounds,
and the wizard began her we'll learned
rlgmarole about heart-matters, for the
theme upon which they can best trust
their wonderful powers of penetration is

and action in love affairs t8a q
She first consulted the tea grounds with
reference to the wife, who wore an air of
confident reliance upon life of rectitude
to sustain and bring her forth from the
fiery furnace unscathed The lady put
ON her wisdom face and turned her eyes
knowingly into the bottom of the old tea
cup to read the revelations awaiting her
attention, and commenced:

bands hair is blacker than the hinges of |
midnight, and his eyes sprane wide open
at this step towards confirmation of his
worst suspicious. In the eyes of one
who loves him, he is quite handsome.
He is deeply in love with one who belongs
TO another. Husbands hair begins
moving toward perpendicular position,
while he chokes down his rising wrath |
with an emphatic ahem = The lady

than she dares to tell, and if matters

countenance bore expressions of the
greatest rage, and in angry tones he said,

These fortune-tellers know it all and you
need not longer deny it; you do love

The husband was satisfied with the
Developments already made and dc sired
no more, while the wife turned pale and
knew not what TO say that would ward
oT the blow which the oracle had given
her. Before either husband Or wife
recovered fully from the effects O. { the
