COnjuring a Lover.

A young woman down town imagined
that a young man, who had been very
attentive to her for six months, had de-
serted her, and an old woman of her &C.
q%uaintance advised her what to do.
"Take one of his letters, the very sweet
est of all that he ever sent you, and put
Il lock of your hair in it and then put it
back in the envelope. Go to the White
Spot, and on your way up hunt a piece
Of thin witch-hazel wood" Here the
old woman gave a full description of
this mysterious bush. "Then come
back and try to remember a place where
he kissed you standing on the ground.
As near as you a remember, bury the
letter, lock of hair, and witch hazel
right on the spot where he stood and
kissed you and let it remain there three
days"
The young woman followed the adj
vice, cut off a lock of her hair, went and
procured the witch hazel, and then she
set to thinking where she last had been
kissed. She could call to mind no out
side kiss that she had everreceived from
him, excepting n that he gave her one
night while they were walking down Ca
nal Street toward Bingaman, opposite
the Eckert friedrich works. Four nights
ago she repaired thither with a trowel
that she borrowed, and she quickly
buried the articles. The third night was
last night, and she went to watch that
little grave. What she saw she after
ward related to the woman She said
she saw sparks of fire shoot up from the
ground. "All right" said the old con-
%jurer; "his conscience is burning and
torturing him. He'll come back in less
than ten days. BE of good cheer. On
the third night 60 and get your things
out Of the ground and bury them under
the caves of your house somewhere, SO
that the rain drops will fall over them
And that is how the young woman test
ed the fidelity of her negligent lover

SalOnica.

The scene of the fatal riot between
Christians and Turks, reported by tel
egraph, is a city and seaport of Euro
pean Turkey, the next place in CONNER
cial Importance after Constantinople.
1t is situated at the northwestern ex-
tremity of the Gulf of Salonica, and is
the seat of an Ottoman departmental
government. The population numbers
about $4,000 persons, the larger pro-
portion being Israelites; most of the
remainder Turks, Greeks, and Franks.
The city has a very imposing appear
ance. 1t stands by a hill slope, sur
rounded by whitewashed and painted
walls, and it is ornamented by numer.
u minarets and domes, and laid out
with gardens of cypress. 1t is com.
manded by "a large citadel named the
Seven Towers. One of it gates was
built in honor of Augustus after the
battle of Phillippi. Within the citadel
is Il triumphal arch erected under Mar.
Gus Aurelias. Several of the mosques
have been originally pagan temples
one, which is wholly uninjured, was a
temple of Venus. The mosque of st.
Sophia is a handsome model of that NJ
Constantinople. Salonica has a large
trade in British produce. The exports
consist chiefly of wheat, barley, maize,
wool, sponges, raw silk, tobacco, and
slaves. Cicero resided in the city dur
ing his exile. 1t was raised to the rank
Of a Roman colony by Valerian.

A Sad Story of Unrcquited Love.

Seldom in those dramas in real life
that in tragic .pa'hos surpass all that
eve was writ by playwright, has been
brought to light any thing more touch
ing than the few lines, in schoolgirl
scrawl, addressed her parents and sis.
tiers, by Julia Sichel, a beautiful young
Jewess of San Francisco, who Il few
days since committed suicide. Hers was
simply the old story of unrequited love.
There was no faint Of guilt about it to
awaken remorse, nor broken VOWS to
be reproached, but only blank despair.
AS in those few lines she unwittingly
betrays, her love was unsought, but so
accomplishing was it, that, with I'M
maidenly boldness, she sued for love in
return, and, finding that hopeless, the
light went out of her life and she sought
refuge in death. Her letters tell it all
with that transparent simplicity which
no art can simulate. To her parents she
wrote:
DEAR MOTHER n FATHER: / pray you
will forgive the sorrow | cause you by nv
rash act, but life is one dun BLANK to me
now. DO not blame Ben, for he has tried
to reason with me, but all in vain. He can
give me no hope that | shall ever he more to
him than q friend, and, rather than live
without his love, ! have determined to take
my life. There are a few requests ! would
ask Of you, and then ] am ready 10 die.
First Of all, promise me, dear father, that
you will hold Ben entirely blamcless, and
for the love ! bore him treat him ever as n
friend. do not want mother, Annie, or
Mollie to wear mourning for me, for the
black garments would only be a reminder Of
my sad end. Let me be buried where the
sun shines, and try 10 keep my grave green.
Say / died for love. That is all ! want the
world TO know. Try to bear my death
bravely, and take comfort from my sisters
and brothers. Dear parents, forgive and
pray for your poor daughter. JULIA.
More tenderly girlish is a note to her
sister:
DEAR MoLLIE; would ask OF you a few
favors. They are these: When | am dead
give mother my gold set, Annie my tor
quoise ring, keep my watch and chain and
pearl ring fer yourself, and give TO Fannie
hat set Of fancy work I had commenced.
Let me be buried with my plain ring On my
finger, and put the buttons Ben gave me in
my coffin. Keep on with y.ur music and
play often, for | always dearly loved to hear
you. Now, dear Eugene, Fannie, Jake,
and Annie, Maurice, and Mollie, al good.
bye. Kiss me before l am laid in my grave.
