SATURDAY. BKPTEMBeII*. W 4.
Ills DESTINY FORETOLD.
"What nboorb rubbish 1 I’roy don't re
peat it. Clam, or I shall think I’ve given you
credit for more common serine than yon
posses..;” and tire hreakfiutl-cttp waa rattled
down into the MMer, and the newspaper
spread as a kind of barrier against further
argument.
But Mrs. Clara Gray was not to be put
off in that cavalier fusoion, and showed no
intention of letting the matter drop, so
she persisted.
"I tell yon, George, it is not nonse.nso;
!>th I and Mrs. Clive liave consulted Mail
ante Borgia, so has Miss Taylor; and the
two Ht. Georges sre going, and—"
‘•For mercy's sake, Clara, don't favor
me with any more information. I knew
your catalogue of acquaintances included
a good sprinkling of idiots; hut there are
more than I thought—Clife, too V
The last two words were spoken in a
tone of contempt, and Mr. Gray onoe more
Used his newapaja-r ss a shield.
But it did not silence the lady.
Hbe kept talking lit. more than to, her
husband, whs, npp, 'y absorbed in the
leading article, vouclissfed uo further rqf
ply.
Mrs. Gray continued;
"Madame Borgia is nooommon fortune
tellcr, hut an educated tody, gifted with
tbo power of second sight. Every ono who
has consulted her says she tolls of post
events with lerfect accuracy, besides ro-
Voaling what is to happen for years to
come.
"She has received immenso patronage
in London, and seems to be in much rc*
quest. She professes to boa phrenologist,
and has rooms ostensibly to read characters
by that scionco, where she can tie Seen
without her real business being suspect
ed."
Tho lady stopped; sho had heard a
rather triumphant sniff behind the news
paper, and had hastened to reooTer lost
ground.
Slie roanrnl:
“In my opinion, fortune telling ought
to l>o numbered among the sciences; it was
snoe, and I've no doubt It will be again.”
Hero tho little elook on tho mantle
struck nine; Mr. Gray rose, and donning
his hat and gloves, was soon in tho train
on his way to business down town, whoro
wo accompany him.
Fooplo said ho was a "good man of busi
ness certainly he was a prosperous one.
Homo and wife wore all that could ho
desired; he had boon married seven years;
his pursuits brought him in contact with
a number of people; yet, somehow, ho had
very fow friends.
No one found fault with him, but ho
sever won the oonfldonco of those who
knew him.
His most intimate acquaintance novor
came to him with a talo of sorrow or n
story of Success, and tho reason of this was
a failing which George Gray possessed—
•hat sometimes led him into great errors—
this was a most inordinate love of secrecy.
Never mind how trivial tho matter, it
must he kept to himself.
He had fostered the habit as a youth.
It grew upon him, and, ns a man, it
governed his actions in trade.
He knew that “knowledge is power,"
but sometimes forgot that it should bo
united to judgment and high principle, or
it may prove it dangerous acquisition.
When George Gray was twenty-eight,
h astonished ovory one who knew him by
getting married—not that there was any
thin® extraordinary in the act, but he had
never even hinted he was engaged.
When his fellow-merchants congratula
ted him, they said he was a sly fellow.
110 considered iliey wove •onrplimcnt-
ary.
Now, George had been deeply in love
•ome four or flvo years previous to meet
ing with his wife.
The object of his admiration likod him
well enough, but she was ambitions.
So George, who was at the time a clerk
on a very small salary, was rejected for a
wealthy, but much older suitor. ..
Asa matter of course, ull'commmriention
ended.
The lady—now Mrs. Thompson—was
borne by her middfe-ngw) adorer to a dis
tent country.
After this event, George devoted himself
to business, and in tho event found himself
more successful in commerce than in love;
and by the time he married was a well-to
db, if not a wealthy man.
A year before our story opens, George
Grey was enjoying a stroll in the Park.
Tho hour vmlMo ia> tho afternoon,
Strolling down the Mall, he crossed into
the ineloßurc, and down a devious path
leading to the lake, when be same sudden
upo*i a lady in widow’s weeds.
Heeaw..approaching, MVs. Thompson.
MhtuaP recognition instantly followed
tfcis ohanoe meetings
Tho lady was quietly pleased, the gon
ttemnn demonstratively gratified.
They strolled together around tho orna
mental waters.
Some slight allusion woe mado to her
bereavement.
'Mr. Gray sighed, ami moralized on the
“common lot of mortals,” (he had cordial
ly hated “old Thompson”); aud the widow
murmured something in which the words,
“Best of men, ami most indulgent of hus
kauds,” were audible.
It was just upon the hour for closing the
gate s, and Mrs. Thompson told her cava
lier that she “must be getting home.”
She also, informed him that her carriage
was waiting at the Park entrance, to which
quiet spot he gallantly escorted her.
Not unwilling to renew an acquaintance
w Uieh had been a bright, spot in the oasis
of her mercenary recollections, the buxom
widow invited her old'flame to.a seat be
side bur.
Gray readily accepted tho proffered va
einoy; and at the very moment when he
should hsvo been sjiceding to Tremout in
a Harlem Kailrsld train, to join his wife at
dinner, he wns mounting the steps of the
widow's elegantly-sp(>ointed brougham,
which soon whirled the pair through to
the door of a pretty little villa not many
miles from Carmansvillo,
Everything about this charming little
honao bespoke taste and wealth.
The dinner was delicious, the widow
fascinating.
Altogether, there was such an stmos
phero of comfort ami ease, that Gray drew
a mental picture, contrasting this bright,
sparkling, cheerful retreat with his own
sombre-looking place at homo.
Thu comparison did not end there.
lie found himself comparing the witty,
gay mistress of the house to his own tiiuid,
half-frightened wife.
Ah! silly Mr. Gray, did you remember
that your hostess was supreme ruler in her
abode, while your wife held only the place
of a subject in yours, decision would be
more favorable.
Friends would soaroely have known him
ss bo sat talking and laughing with the be
witching widow had they seen him, so
completely lid sho thawed the reserve
which had hitherto so marred his manners,
and rendered his company irksome.
What a pity it is that custom, whilo it
has put a ring on the Anger of the woman
to denote wifohood, has omitted to give
some corresponding signal to the man I
llad such been the case, Mr Gray would
Dover have adorned this tale—if, indeed,
adorn it ho does.
During the walk in the park, it would
have been easy enough for George to have
told his companion of hia marriage; btttbc
did not.
Ho had no motive for secrecy, Imt sim
ply held his tongue, on the principle that
rotioonco should only be broken on com
pulsion.
Bo when at parting, rather late in tho
evening, the lady ititiniutod that ho might
repeat tho visit, he suddenly remembered
that he had not spoken of bis wife.
Mrs. Thompson thought him still un
married.
It would have been rather awkward to
liavo told thu lady at tho last moment he
hod a wife, and it would have been abso
lutely rude not'to huvo accepted the plain
ly implied invitation to call again.
80, with the request to be permitted to
call on tho following Haturday afternoon,
ho took his leave, thinking, as ho stumbled
along the dark lane, on his way to the sta
tion, that on tho next visit he would men
tion the somewhut important fact of his
marriage.
But tho next visit carno, and then many
others.
Ho nothing was mini,
He meant no wrong to his wife, nor to
tho widow; liut as ho allowed so many
months to pass away without mentioning
the widow to the wife, or tho wifo to tho
widow, he became a coward, and looked
forward to his visits to tho The Ferns with
as much shame as pleasure.
Mrs. Thomi>son wondered why her once
ardent suitor did not resnme his lovo-mo
kiug.
She thought, “He has been faithful to
my memory; ho must he fond of me. I
wonder why he does not propose?”
Soon the mystery was solved.
By accident, which is not necessary to
detail here, tho lady became aware that
her frequent visitor wus not in a state of
single blessedness.
The intelligence did not break hor heart;
she was a sensible woman, and a very
practical one.
So on the- very day on whtah sbo had
mado the discovery, she called on Mrs.
Gray, at Acacia Lodge, Tremout, and told
her afl.
She softened the news s mneh ns possi
ble to the wife, and they had a long talk
together,
That same afternoon Mr. Gray received
a note from ltfrs. Thompson, saying that
important business would compel her to
lenvo Germnnsville for an indefinite period.
No word of her destination did the note
oontniu, and George thought it, on the
whole, “rather cool}" still, it was "a good
thing, perhays,” as he wus getting him
self “a little bit involved in the affuir.”
The morning following Mrs. Thomp
son's visit was the one m which our story
opens.
Truly Shat fatly fuuT booir fully employed
on the day in which she wont to Mrs. Gray
in the morning.
She had made her discovery oir the pre
vious afternoon; she bad visited the lady,
and written to the husband, and in the
evening she had sought and obtained an
interview with a dark tady, who lived in a
suit of rooms over a dentist's and under an
artist's, and lectured on astro-phrenology.
Mow, as my readers will havo already
guessed, the dark lady was Madame ltor
gia ; and Madame not being iusensible to
the value of money, agreed (for a liberal
prosent) to lot her visitor personate her at
any bow which she might demand, Mrs.
Thompson being permitted to wait in the
ante-room.
We must here tell our readers Mrs, Gray
was not the first person wlio'had told Mr.
Gray of the fortune-teller; he had hoard
of her a day or two before through the
widow, from whose lips he received the
information in a far more courteous und
forbearing manner than he did when men
tioned by his wife.
In. fact, Mrs. Thompsons rather fond of
wielding her power over her serious friend,
hnd actually elicited from him a promise
that ho would himself consult the oracle.
Ha was Bather superstitious, and what
ho heard from his wife at the breatfast
talile marie him secrotly resolve to “aer
! tainly go and sec tho woman, in the Bow
ery
Tlw afternoon ol the same day saw
| George Gray minutely studying some ar
tificial teeth hi a dentist's window; then
I examining with great interest a large case
| photographs just inside the door; next
carefully inspecting a china-faced model
I lv head-mapped out in a curious fashion;
! and lastly, plunging two steps at a time up
the carisited stair-case, and disappearing
through a door on the second floor. ■
He found himself in an appartmeut
almost totally dark.
There was just artificial light enough for
him to see a tall, darkly draped and vailed
figure.
Briefly ho told the nature of hia buai
nesa, and requested an immediate deci
sion on his destiny.
It was not without some slight trepida
tion that the merchant confessed to him
self that his conduct bore some slight
resemblance to stupidity, since he remem
bered the ridicule ho had cost on the sub
ject when Clara persisted in trying to
convince him that fortune-telling ought
to bo classed among the exact sciences.
Tho mysterious personage, however,
soon woke him from his reverie by ad
dressing him by his Christian and sur
name.
George Gray was not prepared for this
ready knowledge of his kinship.
It, to use a vulgar expression, took him
quite aback; but he was still more aston
ished when the oracnlar voice told him,
in minnto detail, tho many important
ovents of his past life, dilating largely on
his visit to Carmansvillo, and the deoeit
ho was practicing on tho two ladies.
Oeorgo was suddenly overcome with
conscientious qualms, and began to fancy
that tho gentleman in black himself must
1)0 in the woman, when the voice ceased.
A lull of a few minutes, and it resumed:
"And now I will tell you of the future,
which not tho Fates, but you yourself
have planted. Tho wretched habit of ex
treme secrecy on which you think your
success in life has been based, has in re
ality been your bane, and will prove your
ruin. It has already made for you a
cheerless home; alienated your good,
patient wifo from you; caused your friends
to suspect you, and been the means of
your deceiving an honorable woman.
"Go homo, George Gray, place your
confidence in your wife, and love her as
she deserves to be loved; mix more with
your fellow-men; care for tho poor, let
your servants feel that they have a master
who takes an interest in their welfare; and,
above all” added tho voice, after a short
pause, “keep away from The Foms."
Here the figuro recedod, and was lost
behind some heavy black curtains at the
back of the room.
George does not know to this day
whether it was five dollars or ten dollars
he paid to the prophetess.
Ho remembers well how glad he was
to see the handsome shop in the Bowery
once more, and that he hastened home to
his wife as full of good resolutions as of
astonishment.
All George's frionds wonder “whnt on
earth has dome to Gray," he is so altered.
Kind, gentle, and most sociable, every
body likes him, and his wifo positively
adores him, but is not quite so much sur
prised at tho transformation as one might
suppose, becunso she was the first to try
and conviuce him that his destiny might
bo foretold.
■ ■ ■— l
Deafness.
Probably tho most frequent way in
which tho ears are injured is by the at
tempt to clean them. It ought to be un
derstood that the pnasngo of the ear does
not require cleaning by us. Nature un
dertakes that task, aud in the healthy
state fnlfllls it perfectly. Her means for
cleansing the ear is the too*. Perhaps
the reader has nevor heard what becomes
of the ear-wax. I will tell him. It dries
rtp into thin, fine scales, and these peel
off one by one from tho surface of the
passage, and fall out imperceptibly, leav
ing behind thorn a perfectly clean, smooth
surface. In health the passage of the ear
ia never dirty) bul if we attempt to clean
it, we infallibly make it so. Here—by a
strange luck of justice, os it would seem,
which, however, has no doubt a deep
justice at the bottom—the best people,
and those who love cleanliness, suffer
most, and good and careful nhrsos do a
mischief uegligont ones avoid. Washing
the ears Out with sonp aud water is bad; it
keeps the wax moist when it ought to
become dry ami scaly, increases its quan
tity uuduly, aud makes it absorb the dust
with which the air always abounds. But
the most hurtful thing is introducing the
corner of tho towel screwed np, and
twisted it round. This does more harm
to oars than all other mistakes togotlier.
It drives down the wax upon the mem
brane much more than it gets out. Let
any ono wlio doubts this make a tube like
tho passge, especially with the curve
which it possesses; let him put a thin
membrane at one end, smear its inner
surface with a substance like tho ear-wax,
and then try and get it out so by a towel I
But this plan does much more mischief
than merely pressing down the wax. It
irritates the passage, and makes it east off
small flakes of skin, which dry np and
become extremely hard, and theso ore also
pressed down upon tho membrane. Of
ten it is not only deafness which ensues,
but pain aud inflamation, and then
matter formed wliich the hard mass
prevents from escaping, and tho membrano
becomes diseased, and worse may follow.
Tho ear should nevor be cleaned out with
tho serewed-np corner of a towel. Wash
ing should extend only to tho outer sur
face, as far as the Anger can reach,—
