30 Eben Bonabben," cried the young Pfnce
''thOu hast revealed to me much Of the wisdom OF
the earth; but there Is thing ol.which remain
In ignorance and would lain be informed. Tell
me, then, thou most profound OF sages, what Is
the nature Of this thing called lover" Eben
Bonabben was struck as with thunderoolt. He
trembed ana turned pale, and felt as II his head
at but loosely ON has shoulders
TO those OF us who are familiar with Irving's
quaint and graceful story the astonishment or the
old philosopher is easily accounted iOr-shrcwd,
SUBTLE cunning as he was, familiar with every
detail Of crime, and Discerning that more than
half the Ills OF life were brought about by Q silly
and maudlin sentimentaity OF which there were
everywhere friends, both male and female to take
advantage; and, moreover. fully under
standing the natural tendency OF a young
mind. aroused by peculiar circumstances
into state OF temporary madness, to seek the
nnai elimination OF its desires by means OF for
tune telers and others of Spritualistic cast. the
old man mad secretly withdrawn the young Prince
from the Vaccinations and alurements of the Court
and conducted him to quaint old castle. standing
by itself, where, until the Prince had attained q
certain age, he was to remain in perfect ignorance
Of the thing called love.
THE OLD PHILOSOPHER
had good reason to be surprised, for he well
love OF the young Prince would vent
itself in all sorts OF indiscretions, Tor
the walks OF that age were dark with
charlatans and magicians. ali Of whom moved here
and there in every path, and all of whom by work
ing upon the superstiti0ns oil persons younger and
Billier than themselves, claimed to control the
AFFAIRS OF love and to satisfy the minds OF all who
sought their aid. Young women and young men,
Of every class and Of every calhng-the prince with
his purse of gold, the peasant with his meagre
earnings-all crowded within the chambers OF these
so-called seers. and, after the funment of numer-
Gus ceremonies, gradually developed amid lame
and smoke, ielt their spirits so awed that these
magicians could use and handle them at their will.
FORTUNE TELLING.
Above the doors OF these fortune-telling vaga-
bonds the phrase OF Dante could well be inscribed
for to many Of the innocent who entered therein
future existence was q misery and curse. All
these things we're identified with an age that was
dark and foul, when the armed knight and the
hooded priest swayed society, and when the State
stood in awe Of the Church. We look upon the is
sues OF this era relics OF barbarism OF which the
more enlightened ages are entirely free. The
claim that those FEELINGS of superstition and awe
which caused even kings and queens to kneel at
the shrine Of the ancient magician,
higher type Of civilization and a more
liberal religious government have entirely re.
moved, but when reflect upon the developments
made to my personal endeavors during the past
two weeks, am inclined to imagine that certain
element Of our society Is grovelng in deeper ruts,
and pandering to vices OF q lower, more inhuman
type than the elements Of any society in any by
gone years.
PHILADELPHrA's MORAL SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
We, too, have our sages, our fortune tellers, our
magicians and our seers. At certain hours Of the
day young men and young women throng their
chambers, and upon the face OF cards and dice are
content to read their destiny In precisely the
same manner as did the young OF Gen.
turtles ago, while the pure and the
Innocent the good and the bad, now, then,
finally yield to this same mysterious power and
drag out their existence in the same ignomlnious
shame. Ihave been among the healing mediums
and spirituastic doctors OF the Quaker City, Ihave
written to and have interviewed them all. Under
o maze Of deceit and multitude OF DISCUSSES,
have sought their abodes, became acquainted with
their measures ana gained a faint idea OF the ex-
tent to which their Infamous operations are car
ried on, until, by the aid OF the Mayor and hts po-
lice, have brought to immediate Judgment all
whom have by any means been enabled to ap-
proach.
MEETING THE CRIMINALS WITH ARTrPIcE
Let me state at the outset that have been
obliged to resort to deception OF every form in
der to entrap those who by means Of fouler mis-
representation than that OF mine, daily and hourly
ensnare Others. Their deceit is such as drags from
the paths OF virtue the pure and the innocent,
while mine has had no other end In view than to
break those tendrils which bind the young ana the
guileless, and bring to immediate Judgment the
guilty and the unclean. This deception upon my
part has not alone consisted Of cunnngly worded
