FORTUNE TELLING. There is no infamy
80 hard to be crushed as this of the fortune-tel-
lers; for no person that has any reputation to

ing money under false pretences. If any Of
them succeeded in securing any considerable
sum from their dupes, no doubt an explosion
would sometimes occur. But, fortunately,
their customers are for the most part with as
little means as brains, and therefore with not
much @ to lose The consulters of the spiritua-
list mediums, it is probable treat their advisers
more liberally. a few years ago Mrs. Lyon,
in England, made Home, the spirituast, Il
present of f70, 900 in mortgages. Home pre-
tended to bring up the spirit of Mrs. Lyons
deceased husband and this so charmed the
beuighted old woman that she adopted Home
as her son, and was continually heaping pre-
sents upon him. She at last rcpented, and
filed Il bill in Chaucery to compel him to re-
fund the 10000. The Court decided in her
favor, on the ground that Home obtained the
money by means of undue influence. This de-
cision, no doubt, was correct in every sense. 1t
is due, however, to Home to say that he had
not turned the mortgages into cash, rs u swind-
Ter would have done SO the dupe got back
all her money, Still later Il Mrs. Borrodalie
had Madame Rachel of London, sent to Jail
for obtaining money from her for the purpose
of getting her married to Lord Rancagh The
Lord was falsely accused but as he was seen
sometimes in Madame Rachel's store, his re-
putation suffered somewhat, though not Sc
rrously The Madame 'Rachels' and clair
voyants of New York pursue, probably "a lucra-
tive trade, though it is not likely they realize
the large sums the infamous Rachel of London,

WHICH SHALL IT BE:

A rich man, who had no children, proposed
to his poor neighbor, who had seven, to take
one of them; and proposed, If the parent would
consent, that he would give them property
enough to make themselves and their other
six children comfortable for life.
Which shall it be? Which shall it be-?
| looked at John-John looked ut me,
And when | found that | must speak,
My voice seemed strangely low and weak;
Tell me again what Robert said;
And then [ listening bent my head;
This is his letter. -
Il will give
A house and land while you shall live,
IF, in return, from out your seven.
One cAild to me for aye is given.
[ looked at John old garments worn;
I thought of all that he had borne
Nf poverty, and work, and care,
Which I, though willing, could not share
thought of seven young mouths to feed,
Of seven little children need,
And then of this.
'Come, john said l.
''We'll choose among them as they lie
Asleep" So, walking hand in hand,
Dear j John and | surveyed our band;
First to the cradle lightly stepped
Where Lillian, the baby slept
Softly the father stopped to lay
His rough hand down in a loving way,
When dreams or whisper made her stir,
Aud huskily he said Not her.
We stopped beside the trundle-bed,
And one long ray of lamplight shed
Athwart the boyish faces there,
In sleep so beautiful and fair.
saw on Ja,nes's rough red cheek
A tear undried Ere John could speak.
Hes but baby, too, said I,
And kissed him as we hurried by.
Pale, patient Robbie angel face
Still in his sleep bore suffering trace,
"No, for thousand crowns not him,
We whispered, while our eyes were dim.
Poor Dick bad Dick our wayward SON
Turbulent restless, idle one
Could he be spared? Nay, he who gave
Bade us befriend him to the grave;
Only mothers heart could be
Patient enough for such as he;
''Aud so, said John, II woud not dare
To take him from her bedside prayer.
Then stole we softly up above,
And knelt by Mary, child of love.
Perhaps for her 'twould better be-,
| said to John. Quite silently
He lifted up a curl to lay
Across her check in willfui way,
And shook his head. Nay love not thee, y
The while my heart beats audbly
Only one more, our eldest lad,
Trusty and truthful good and glad
So like his father. mo, John, no;
cannot, will not, let him CO.
And so we wrote in courteous way,
We could not give one child away;
And afterward toll lighter seemed,
Thinking of that Of which We dreamed,
Happy in truth that not one face
Was missed from its accustomed place;
Thankful to work for all the seven,
Trusting the rest to One in Heaven.

The Mobile (Ala.) Register, speaking OF
the South, says: "We have done our
duty to the cause of American liberty,
and have failed. We know as we'll as
any that these institutions are in grenter
danger now than they ever were. But
we go no moro to the battle field in their
behalf. That duty and responsibility
deyolves on other sections. The danger
has now come to their doors. for Grant
is dictator in New York and Ohio just as
he is in Virginia and Alabama. If you
OF the North and West can stand loss
OF freedom, under IN imperial sceptre,
30 can we. We propose to wait and SOC,
meantime obeying the laws as they are,
rendering unto Caesar what is Clcsar y,
and voting steadily at the polls against
all Radical measures Of usurpation and
destruotiyeness. IF the North and West
manifest the msnlincss to defend their
birth-rights. MI right---we shall be glad,
for wo are all in the Same boat. But as
for the South arming a man or pulling q
trigger to begin the struggle, is as utter
ly foreign to Southern thoughts or in.
tentions as it is to build Indder to scale
the moon. When the North begins and
oalls on us for help why. then, .we'll
think about it, No more secession for

TIE HOLY LAND Several years ago,
society for the prosecution of re-
searches and discoveries in tho Holy
Land was formed in England. The ex-
aminations made under its auspices hive
brought to light number of interesting
matters. Last year, nm American society
was formed with the same object. Il
has been arranged with the parent So
oiety that tho Americans shall pursne
their explorations East OF the river Jor-
don, o region OF country hitherto com
paratively UNEMPLOYED It is estimated
that $4,000 will suffice. according to
the plan OF the society, to carry ont this
purpose for the first year. Among the
discoveries already made have been the
buried foundations of the ancient tom
pie, the Moabite stone, the pavement Of
tho, ancient city, worn smooth by the
tread of Jews who lived aud moved in
the days of our Saviour, and the ancient
bed OF the brook Kedron, whose waters
flowed by the base of Mount Moriah..
