A friend of mine applied to Nine
M and came to great grief in con
sequence. He sent twenty-five cents
with fitting letter, to her address. a.
it was given in her advertisement, but
unfortunately. her landlady had al
that time decided not to take any more
letters for her and nv friends letter
was consequently sent to the Dead
Letter Office. As it contained postage
stamps, it was there treated as regis.
tered letter and returned as such to my
friends private address. which he had
very inuocently given. 1t arrived when
he was absent from home, and his
wife. who was requested by the post
man to sign the receipt for it, had the
curiosity-the very culpable curiosity
to open it. Twill ask all my married
readers to picture to themselves the
countenance of the poor lady when
she saw in her husbands too we'll
known hand the following letter: ..F
/. s., who has seen Madame Ms
advertisement in the - journal, will
be glad to receive her advice as to the
best mode of winning the affections OF
young lady to whom he is devotedly
attached. He incloses twenty five cents
and stamped, directed envelope, as
desired"
When F. /. S. returned home that
evening But no. Let me not reveal
the secrets Of the domestic prison
house. Drop, little curtain. Drop on
the horrors Of that appalling scene.
F. !. S. afterward contrived by less
hazardous means to obtain Madame
Ms secret As might be expected,
it came in the shape of little pamnh-
let and was hardly so well worth
twenty-five cents as he could have
wished. On one of the covers was a
little advertisement, in which Madame
M called the attention of ladies to
her recipes for the complexion. On
the other cover was another little adj
vertisement to her male clients, VIII ch
began thus: do you want beautiful
whlskers?" Madame M further
states that there is no actual necessity
for her clients to have a personal inter-
view with her." This is very fortunate,
for as it has been ascertained beyond
doubt that Madame M is not
Madame NJ at all. but Mr.. -,
it is clear that q personal interview
would result in disappointment
The reader Will perhaps be prepared
to learn that the following advertise
ment is very successful:
"YouR FUTURE HUSBAND OR wIrK,s TRUE
PHoToGRAPH.-Mr. W.. the celebrated as
trologer, will send the true photograph OF
your intended. with name. age and date OF
answered for twenty five cents. State age
and sex. Send stamped directed envelope.
Address w. Answers in two days"
There are good many astrologers
in the field. There is il, who
calls himself the only original astrol-
oyer. There is E-C-, the ancient
Egyptian astrologer. who teaches
astrology in twelve lessons, and who
has the following passage in his little
pamphlet: Il may remark that the SON
of one of the wealthiest butchers in
Buffalo was told by me that he would
meet lady on horseback on a certa n
day who would be his wife, although
he had never. seen her before. This
happened as Predicted" Then, again,
there is Mr.. W, No. 2, who, oddly
enough, lives in the same house with
Mr.. W-No, l. Last Of all. there is
Madame de B. who calls herself
the celebrated clairvoyant, but dabbles
in prophetic photography like the rest
For the lone touch of nature which
makes all these people kin is that they
all send you photographs of your fu-
ture wife. Ihave the photograph Of
nv future wife which I obtained from
Mr.. W the .Astrologer to the
Spanish Court" He tells me that her
name il Helen. that her age Is twen-
ty-seven. and that we are to be mar
RED on the 18th of July, 1887. It seems
to me, Is / look at her speaking coun-
tenance, that If she be only twenty
seven-years of age che photograph has
hardly done her justice; and again. as
look. perceive sternness in her line
aments thatmakes me tremble for the fu-
ture. MIR. We evidently good and
prudent man. In one note to the print
ed circplse which accompanied the
photograph he tells, me that he will
answer no question Of an improper or
evil character. and IN another note he
very justly observes: BE kind enough
to send as large stamps as possible, the
one cent stamps often making the let
tiers appear bulky and temptation to
