Whence comes it that man has such a
desire to interrogate the future - '?, In eve
ry nation I discover traces of the impru
dent curiosity. The Jews had their witch
es, the Greeks their sibyls,:the Persians
their magi, the Spaniards their gipsies the
Romans had their augurs, whose oracles
they respected ; the French have had their
sorcerers, whom they frequently finished,
by burning them with great ceremony.
In former days the business of sorcery
was not exercised in France with impuni
ty, and those who were given to shuffling
fortunes from cards, answered for it too
often-with their lives. Our good ances
tors were in the habit of burning without
scruple all who were guilty of witchcraft;
and my good ladies Villenuve, Michel,
and Le Normand, now in full career, if
they had been born a century earlier,
would have infaliuly ended their days at
the stake. But chiromancy, cartomancy
and necromancy are at present fashionable
sciences, and lucrative branches of trade,
and sorcery, instead of leading to a funeral
pile, conducts to fortune. All Paris have
in succession paid their respects to the
cards of Lady Villenuve, the whites of
eggs of Madame Michel, and the black
Eachjof
these practisers has been celebrated in her
turn; but a young sorceress is now before
the public who promises to surpass them
all.
The temple of this new sibyl is in one
of the most frequented quarters of Paris.
In the morning it is open to the beauty,
tender and timid, but who confides in the
turn cf a card ; to the greedy speculator,
who would know what success may at
tend his enterprises; to the modest and
innocent girl who is anxious to discover
whom she should fall in love with ; to the
unquiet husband whose dreams are dis
turbed by an ugly major of dragoons, in
big bouts and monstrous mouslachios; to
the gamester who would win back at
whist, what he has lost at faro—The nu
merous equipages ranged before the en
trance, indicate the rank of visiters.
I had heard the oracles of this modern
Pythoness frequently cited with great
praise. Some ladies spoke to me in high
terms of the vivacity of her mind, the deli
cacy of her questions, and especially of
the promptness with which she divined
what they dared not to tell her. Gentle
men had described in raptures the sweet
ness of her features, the elegance of her
manners, and assured me that she was a
most exquisite creature. These eulo
gies excited my curiosity; and I. deter
mined to ascertain for myself the merits
and beauties of this celebrated personage.
The clock had just struck eight as I
presented myself at the door of her hotel.
On declaring the object of my visit, I was
ushered into a little saloon, furnished with
the greatest simplicity, with nothing to in
dicate the profession of the occupant. This
was a young lady about twenty-five years
of age, tall, well made, expressing herself
with grace, very agreeable and various in
her conversation. There was something
a little malicious in her glance, and sar
donic in her smile, and she jested freely
upon the inconveniences of her art, and
attempted to convince me ofits excellence.
I saw that she was not herself very well
persuaded of the truth she wished to im
press upon me; and 1 thought that of all
who came into her House, the young sibyl
herself had the least faith in the infalibilli
ty of her oracles.
After having conversed with me a few
moments, she ascended the sacred tripod ;
already the prophetic spirit had begun to
movethe delicate fibers ofher brain, when
a light hand rapped three times at the
door of our apartment and uttered in a
troubled voice—“ Open, it is I.” My
pretty prophetess was evidently embar
rassed; and I was preparing to take my
leave. She prevented me. “ You have
the air of a gallant gentleman,” she at
length said to me, smiling. I bowed as
sent. “I am sure of it,” she added, “go
into this cabinet.” She>pushed me gently
into the cabinet, shut the door upon me,
and to prevent all accidents took the key
with her. 1 consoled my captivity by
making immediate use of a crevice, thro’
which I could see every thing that was
going on in the saloon.
The lady who entered was younger and
more beautiful than the sibyl. Her face i
was a picture of innocence and candor. I
At length said she, laughing, I have sue- i
ceeded., Madame de Bassac, after having
managed to inflame the jealousy of my
husband, has prevailed on him to pay a !
visit to you, he will be here in a minute,
and do not forget our agreement.
The sound of a bell put an end to the
conversation; the young visiter disap-.
peared, and her friend prepared to receive
De Julien.
He enters, looks about the room with
nonchalence, and th« better to decide up
on the powers of the magician, observes
to ter that her art must reveal to her the
object of his present visit. Do you doubt
it ? said the sibyl, in an offended tone, give
yourself then the trouble to be seated, and
condescend, to listen to jne. He took a
a She collected herself and ar
ranged the cards upon the tabic, byway
of prelude to the following dialogue.
You are married, sir. sixteen or seven
teen months ago you espoused a young
lady about half your age.
What, madam?
Who has given you a thousand proofs
of affection, and yet you continue to sus
pect her.
I confess it, said he, in utter amazement.
Queen of Diamonds—these suspicions
you have imbibed from a female friend of
your wife.
I admit the fact.
Seven of Spades—she has carried her
effrontery so far as to advise you to apply
to me.
Astonishing 1
She takes up the cards, and hands them
to De Julien, who cuts them, while the
sybil continues with a gravity that nothing
can disturb, your wife is faithful.
Do you believe so ?
1 know it; but she complains of your
co nd net.
Os my conduct ?
Yuur suspicions barrass her.
O no, she is not aware of them.
She has discovered them; you enter
tain at your house a very dangerous man.
And who is he?
The King of Clubs.
I do not know him, madam.
A dark man, thirty-six years old.
It is my best friend.
He is desirous of becoming your wife’s
best friend, sir.
■ You amaze me! lam thunderstruck !
For three months past he has been try
ing to induce her to accept a set of dia
monds that he knows .you have refused
to purchase.
U is true.
But she declines his offers with digni
ty; it is from you only that she is willing
to accept any ornament that may add to
her beauty.
Poor woman! exclaimed the relenting
husband.
Here our sibyl again took up the cards
and divided them into three parcels, which
, she thus explained;
You blush at the suspicions you have
entertained.
Because you assure me of the honor of
my wife.
Shedreams of nothing but your pleas
ure; at this very moment she is engaged
in some scheme to advance your happi
ness. But, what do I see! Eight of Clubs
aud Nine of Hearts!
Is it b .d fortune?
Quite the contrary; you are thinking of
a present for your lady.
O! a present!
The set of diamonds,
Indeed, indeed—
■ln order that having no wish ungrati
fied, she may be exposed to no tempta
tion.
But these jewels are very dear.
Ah! sir, can you too generously re
: ward the virtues of a woman who adores
: you?
, My wife adores me!
Eight of Hearts and Ace of Spades,
Madame de Julien loves no one but her
husband!
At these words, which proved the ex
tent of the young magician’s science*de
Julien rose from his seat in transports; he
cast upon the table a purse of indefinite
weight, and ran to the jeweller to purchase
the happy talisman which it as to restore
felicity to his household. Good fortune
all that day followed his footsteps; the jew
eller, in an excess of good humor, made
him a considerable discortnt, and the vir
tue of my lady cost much less than he an
ticipated.
As soon as her husband was gone, Ma
dame De Julien re-appeared from her hi
ding place, and embraced her friend with
every expression of kindness and tender
gratitude. But they immediately separated
for it was necessary that the young wife
should return home to receive her spouse
and her diamonds.
'I he suby liberated me, and prevented
every manner of reproach on mv part, by
laughing herself, with a pretty grace, at
the scene of which she had made me
a witness. I will not propose to you, now
said she, to cast your horoscope; what you
have just seen and heard, forbids the de
gree of confidence that is required in those
who come to consult me; but I would ask
you not to judge my conduct with too much
l severity. Men are but grown up children,
; who pay to be decieved; and the error
I which flatters, is better than the truth
| which afflicts them.
I Instead of tearing away the veil that
i conceals the faults of De Julien’s spouse 1
: darken them more deeply, and take the
same care to render his future days hap
py, that another would take to make them
miserable, Shall 1 predict to the opulent
banker who astonishes all Paris with his
magnificence, that he will one day envy
the lot of the wretch he now repulses with ’
disdain? Shall 1 say to the father exult-!
ingin the birth of a son, this child will
cover your old age with shame and bring
your gray hairs with sorrow to the grave?
Shall I tellFlorio the flirtations of Lisette
and Lisette the infidelity of Florio? No!
were I to do so, I should soon destroy my
own credit, and see nothing more of this
multitude of visiters who crowd about
my house to receive the approbation
of their follies and the confirmation of
their hopes. I have taken a surer path !
I tickle the folly of every one of them.'
Vy ithout compromising my character, I I
m!| VC fortune to the whole world, j
le J &° away from my house quietin'
heart and mind, and promise themselves I
o pay another visit to the little sorceress
who makes them so happy at such r tri
fling expense.

REV OLU T1 ON ARY INCI DE NTS.
JAMES MARTIN*
The following sketch of this active and
indefatigable partizan officer, has been
received from a valued friend, who was
himself the intimate companion of Capt.
Martin, and personally acquainted with
many ofthe incidents here related.
Mr. Martin was a native of Virginia,
but was brought to York District, South
Carolina, by his parents when a child.
His father dying shortly afterwards, he
was taken by his uncle, Maj. Francis
Ross, and brought up in his family. At
the age of fifteen, he volunteered his ser
vices in an expedition against the Chero
kee Indians. He served in a company
commanded by his uncle, Francis Ross,
and in the Regiment of Col. Neel, of
Y ork District.—The Militia were march
ed into the Cherokee Nation, and had a
severe engagement with a large bod}’ of
Indians, at a place called the'Black Hole.’
The Indians were completely routed,
their towns burnt, and their crops destroy
ed. On the return home of Col. Neel's
Regiment, young Marlin was elected Cap
lain of the company in which he had ser
ved ! —So active, gallant and prudent had
been his conduct in this expedition, that
ail his associates in arms were strongly
attached to him, and reposed implicit
confidence in his judgement and capacity
to command.
Not long after this flattering promotion,
Capt. Martin was ordered with his com
pany to join the American Army under
General Ashe, of the North Carolina Mi
litia. He did so in the Regiment Com
manded by Col. Ross, and was in the no
ted Briar Creek expedition. Just before
the unfortunate defeat of General Ashe, he
was sent some distance from the Ameri
can camp on a reconoitering expedition.
On his return he found the encampment
of General Ashe in the possession of the
British, rnd m approaching, it was fired
on by the enemy. This unexpected fire
from a camp where Capt. Martin and his
company expected to meet their friends,
produced great confusion in the ranks of
the reconnoitering party. The horse on
which Capt. Marlin was riding threw him
and by this means he became separated
in the night from his company. After
making the best of his way from his en
emy, he found himself in a short time in
the midst of a large swamp. Not know
ing much about the topography of the
mud, logs and water by which he was
surrounded, he deemed it prudent to wait
patiently for the morrow’s light. At the
dawn of day he was able to stir himself
out ofthe swamp, and came directly to the
bank of the Savannah river. Another dis
ficulty now stared him in the face—how
to reach the Carolina side.. After some
hesitation, he stripped himself of his
clothes, which he tied around his neck,
threw away his shoes, thrust his sword
through his bundle of clothes, and com
mitted himself to the hazards of the water.
But being a good swimmer, he reached
the opposite bank in safety. He now had
to pass through another swamp, thickly
covered with briars, cane and brushes.
His feet became very much torn and lace
rated by the briars and cane stubble. But
making his way thro’, he found a cottage
i not far from the swamp, tenanted by a
, lonely woman, and from her he got some
i directions about the country. His object
I was now to get to Liberty Hill, an Ameri
|can station, where General Williamson
I commanded. He had not travelled far
before he met a man on horseback, with a
rifle on his shoulder, and soon discovered
that he was a Tory. Capt Martin now
i bethought himself of playing off’ “an old
soldier trick” on this armed and mounted
enemy of his country. He asked him to
look at his gun, which he praised very
much on account of its appearance, and
finding it to be loaded, he deliberately
cocked the rifle, and presented it to the bo
i som of the Tory. The horse was deman
ded, and no sooner demanded than given
up by its owner, who had no disposition
to risk his life in a squabble about a horse
Martin mounted the horse, and found this
mode of travelling much preferable to
that of walking barefooted through briars
and canes.
On reaching Liberty Hill, Capt Martin
had the pleasure of meeting his uncle,
I Col. Ross. Inthecourse of two orthree
days, Ross and Martin were despatched
with a body of men by General William
son, to attack a parcel of Indians and
Tories on the Georgia side of the river.
I hey came up with the enemy at a place
then called Dunsing Hill, and after a
! hot engagement, routed them entirely,
i After the battle was over, Col. Ross was
walking over the battle ground, looking
at the dead and wounded, when he receiv
j ed a shot from an Indian in the side. The
I Indian had been wounded, and was lay
ing concealed in the bushes. Col. Ross
f«ll and died in two or three days after
wards.
After the death of his uncle, Capt Mar
tin returned home, but was soon ordered
again tojoin the American Army under
General Lincoln. He did so, and was '
in the battle ofStono, where he displayed
great gallantry and bravery. He then
returned home, and found that a large
number of Tories were stationed in York
District, at Col. Brayton’s, under the com
raand of Capt. Hook. But being too weak
to give Hook battle, Martin went over in
to North Carolina,and with the assistance
of some other officers, he raised about I
three hundred men. With this strong :
re-inforcement. he killed Hook and the '
greater part of his men, after a slight en-1
gagement. This gave relief to that part I
of the country, which had been very much I
infested with marauding bands of Tories
and plunderers.
Flushed with victory, Capt. Martin and
his North Carolina troops now determin
ed to march into Lincoln county, and
give, battle to a large body of Tories a
Ramsour s Mills, on the south fork ofCa.
tawba river. The Tories were under the
command of Col. Moore, well known in
our revolutionary history. The Whigs
were greatly inferior in numbers, but
their attack was crowned with a complete
victory. A great many of the Tories
were killed, and many others drowned, in
attempting to make their escape over the
Mill pond, in their rear.
Capt Martin, shortly after this signal
and important victory, received orders
from Col. Neel to join him at Rocky
Mount, which he did; and was in the en
gagement at that place when Col. Neel
i fell He was next in the battle of Hang
ing Rock under Col. Sumter, and then
in’the battle of Fish Dam Ford, and also
in the battle of Musgrove’s Mills. Some
time after this, he received orders from
Gen. Pickens, to raise as many men as
possible; and join him under Gen. Greene.
This he did with great promptness, and
was in the battle of the Cowpens. He
I continued with Greene until the battle of
‘ Guilford, and after that severe engage
ment, returned to South Carolina. Pre
| vious to this, Capt Martin was in the bat
j tie of King’s Mountain and also with Gen.
Sumpter when he was defeated at Fish
i ing Creek.
I There are few men, during our glori
ous struggle for Liberty, who were more
active or in more engagements than Cap.
Martin. And wonderful to tell he was
j neither wounded nor taken prisoner in
i any of those engagements. After the rev
olution was over, Capt. Martin was a
member of the Legislature, and also ofthe
Convention which framed the State Con
stitution. He was living not long since
i near Y’orkville, and has always sustained
I a high character for integrity, morality,
land honorable feelings. Long may he
• continue to live in the enjoyment of those
blessings for which he toiled so arduous
ly in his youth. B. F. P.
A PLEA IN ABATEMENT
In one of the Quarter Session Courts
of Tennessee, one Joe Phillips was in
dicted for assault and battery. Thesoli
. citor called him to the Bar, and addressed
him thus—you are i dieted fora misde
meanor,and stand charged in these words
—The Jun rs for the State, upon their
oaths present, ‘that Joe Phillips, late of
the county of on the 10th day of Au
gust, 18 , with force and arms in and
upon the body of one John Scrogins, with
malicious intent an assault did make, with
guns, swords, pistols and clubs, with ma
lice aforethought Stop, Mr. Lawyer
says Joe—there was somt thing of it, but
you’r making it a d—d sight worse than
it wits. Well, how was It Joe? says the
Solicitor—Why, land John met one day
I on the road, and says 1 John, this is a bad
| day for snaking, then says he to me, not
• very bad neither, for 1 killed one near up
on a rod long; then says I, that’s a lie, for
there’s nara snake in this county half so
long—then after a good many such com-
j pliments passed between us—says John to
rne, says he, I does’nt milk my neighbors
cows as some folks do-and then I hit him
a clew with my fist side of his head—and
then we set to and had a real scuffle, a
fair fight—then just quit so—and we had
no gun nor pistol nor club neither, so you
need not be talkin all that nonsense over
■ to the court, when there was no such thing
—and John says he’s willin to fight again
if I’ll let him strike first.— Watchwan
Jefferson's opinion of Partners.— Those
who labor in the earth, he early declared,
are the chosen people of God, whose
breasts he has made his peculiar deposit
for substantial and genuine virtue. It is
the focus in which he keeps alive that sa
cred fire, which otherwise might escape
from the face ofthe earth. Corruption of
morals in the mass of cultivators, is a
phenomenon of which no age nor nation
has found an example. It is the mark
set on those, who not looking upto heav
en, but their own soil and industry, as
does the husbandman, for their subsist
ence, depend lor it on the casualities and
j caprice of customers. Dependence be
j gets subservience and venality, suffocates
■ the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools
I for the designsofambition. Thus, the
. natural progress and consequence of the
: arts, has sometimes, perhaps, been retard-;
led byaccidental circumstances; but gen-1
I erally speaking, the proportion, which
the aggregate ofthe other citizens bears,
in any state, to that of its unsound to its ,
healthy parts, and is a good enough ba
rometer whereby to measure its degree
of corruption.

ton papers relates the following anec
dote in such a manner as to say disbelieve

on the absolute necessity of being born a-1

much afflicted, and with tears in his eyes,

I of little Hamburg, in South Carolina, with old

recently had occasion to censure. There are
the names of M’Dt; (He, and Ha milton, and Pres

sing spirit and capability to manage any thing
that is manageable—that is all well enough.

of their .signatures tested on the other side of

! Doctor :
. After reading your editorial about the col
umns for the entrance to the City Hall lot, “a
l thought struck me ’ —that the Council might or
; nament their Hall to more advantage, by sub
stituting the “two living skeletons” of Mr.
Long and Mr. Short, and capping the climax
with the Sentinel’s ’. Should the programma
be found to have superfluous dimensions, the
defect might be rem -died by placing Mr. Long
in Hell’s } acre, and locating Mr. Shoitin the
centre of Green street. Since the dying melo
dies of the ‘Swan of Avon” have chang. d those
two worthies into statues, the Council should
make such disposition ofthem as to forcstal the
probability of their becoming a nuisance to the
corporation.
