CONFESSION OF A PIANIST.
An Amateur Tells What the Eject
of Her Readings Is Upon
Some People.

A young woman who worked her way
into the hearts, but not the pocket
books of a large circle of friends and
chance acquaintance by her talent as
a fortune teller was recently moved, at
the witching hour of twilight and after
noon tea, to betray deep-buried conf
dences.
Indeed" she said, merely for the
study of human nature, it pays to mas
ter the mysteries Of the hand and to
pose, either seriously or otherwise, as
an oracle. My old nurse taught me the
tea cup-that is, to read the grounds
and picked up the cards from a Ger
man governess used to see. But palm
istry is the most fun, because even the
steadiest and most conventional Peo-
pie are believers in it. It is a science,
though the gypsies, who were once its
greatest exponentsh have brought it into
1isrepute. Their are certain tricks of
the trade which allow myself, merely
to relieve its monotony, for you know
you get tired of the line of the heart,
the line of luck, and so on, with varia-
tons.

and have positively developed the in

For instance, there crowds up to me in

is pretty safe to tell people that they
had chances to marry long ago and will
have soon again. It does no harm and
often great good, for a general fixing
up mentally and physically frequently
results and brings the very thing i
dared to prophesy.
'Then there is the ambitious young
fellow, with clear eyes and tremulous
smile, who walks off with the step of
Julius Caesar when tell him he viii
succeed. And the married belle of ma
ture years, who is trying to bluff her
new friends with details of her past,
the peaceful, dear old lady, whose face
is as sweet and smooth as her rosy
palm, the woman with mission or
career, and the old fellow whose hand
and features are sure give away of a
checkered past. The middle aged man,
who has lost both illusion and fortune,
is the hardest subject to deal with, for
he will watch me as / scan his lines to
see If am not fraud. But once I win
him he is my strongest adherent.
Strangely enough, happily married
couples are not angry when I foreten
a second marriage to either man or
woman, and widowers are generally
provoked when I say that they viii
remarry. A widow, unless she is very
old and 'cappy.' usually smiles mys-
teriously and bushes when I hint at
another affinity. If I can once guess
how many children an elderly lady has
had she will vote me a witch. After all,
quickness of intuition and tact are the
essential talents of an amateur sooth
sayer, who asks no fee and pleasantly
entertains both young and old."-N. Y.

HARD WORK COUNTS.
The Genius of Labor Alone Produces
Lasting Success.
Famous Americans Who Have Had
to Toll Patiently and Long Be-
fore Arriving at the Goal
of Their Ambition.
Especial Washington letter.

"HE boys and girls, young men
and women, of this country are
- taught to respect old age, but
that is not enough. They should be
taught to seek the society of the old
men and women in every community
and listen to the stories of their expert
ences in the years that have passed.
There is dear old man or lovely
old lady in every little toVn or village
who could be helpful to the individuals
of the rising generation, and who would
be glad to be so. Every young man or
woman who would seek their society
would not only bring pleasure into
their fast fading lives, but would derive
benefit by drinking from the fountains
of wisdom which flow like well springs
from the minds of those good people.
These reflections come forth as the
result of an evening with an elderly
gentleman who was once a command
ing figure in the national councils, but
who is now living a quiet life in his de-
Ginning years. He said to the writer:
"You are perfectly welcome to tell what
has been said, but do not like to see
my name in print, and so you must not
make mention of me. There was time
when 1 sought newspaper notoriety, for
the newspapers make and unmake pol
iticians. But when man leaves all that
behind him he does not want to be men
toned in any manner, except in the
obituary notices."
The venerable statesman and philos
opher narrated incidents which surely
ought to be laid before the reading peo-
pie of the country, for they afford food
for thought and encourag cement to
those who may be discouraged. He said
that there are times in the life of every
man when the world seems very dark,
but that the skies always brighten to
those who keep on doing their duty to
the best of their ability. One of his il
Illustrations was this:
$50 into any city, big or little, and
you will find street corner so crowded
with wagons and other vehicles that it
is dangerous to attempt to cross. But
If you will wait awhile you Will find
that all the distractions have natural
1y removed themselves, and the street
is as clear of Instructions Is a country
road. Therefore, when distractions
come in the pathway of life, if you only
wait, they will remove themselves. If
people would only understand this sim
pie truth, they would do less worrying
when they find their desires Temporal
rily thwarted."
Then he added: There is a line in
one of the classics which says: The
frozen river and the ieafess trees do
not complain. They wait for the sum
shine of spring and summer Wise
men and women learn to labor and to
wait. Many a man who has been de-
feated in his dearest aspirations has
risen afterwards, and been stronger
and greater than he might otherwise
have been"
By way of illustration he referred to
the career of Andrew Johnson, of Ten
nessee, the unlettered tailor who was
