THE nOHOSCGPE. Bill N je Visits a Professional Star Reader. r HIS PAST, PliESEXT ASD FUTURE. Interesting Information for One Dol lar Warned to Beware f I JCertain Bad STen. "Ring the bell and the door will open, is the remark made by a email Ubel over a bell handle on Third avenue, near Eighteenth street, where Mad. La Foy reads the past, present and future st so much a bead. Love, marriage, divorce, business, speculation and sickness are there bandied with the most impunity fey "Mad. La F07, the famous scientific astrologist," who has monkeyed with the planets for twenty year, and if she wanted any information has "read it in the stars." 1 ran the bell the other day to see if the door would open. It did so after considerable delay, and a pimply boy in knee pants showed me up stairs into the waiting-room. After a while I was re moved to the 'consultation room, where Mad. La Foy, seated behind a small oilcloth-covered table, rakes op old person alities and pries into the future stent rates. Skirmishing about among the planets for twenty years involves a great deal of fatigue and exposure, to say Dothing of the night work, and so Mad. La Foy has the air of one who baa put in a very busy life. She is as familiar with planets, though, as you or I might be with oar own family, and calls them by their first names. She would know Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Adonis, or any of the other fixed stars the darkest night that ever blew. "Mad. La Foy de Uraw," said I, bow ing with the easy grace of a gentleman of ttie old school, "would you mind peer ing into the future for me about a half dollar's worth, not necessarily for publi-j cation, et cetera."

She gave me hack my large, round half dollar and told me that she was al ready weary. She asked me to excuse her. Hhe was willing to unveil the foture to me in her poor, weak way, but she could not guarantee to let a large flood of light into the darkened basement of a be nighted mind for half a dollar. "You can tell me what year and on what day of what month yoa were born," said Madam Da Foy, "and I will outline your life to you. I generally require a lock of the hair, but in your case we will dispense with it." I told her when I was born and the circumstances as well as I could recall them. "This brings you under Venus, Mercu ry and Mars. These three planets were in conjunction at the time of your birth. You was born when the sign was wrong and you have had more or less trouble ever since.

That day I went to Gbteaevid, where, as yoa know, the marshy meadows are rich in curious plants, infusoria, and diatoms. I was returning, and was almost in Dub lin with my box fall of rare specimens, on which I expected to make a report that woald astonish the botanical society, when I saw a little girl certainly not more than five or six years old, who was all alone, crying as if her little heart woald break. I apptoached her, bat at sight of me she redoubled her cries. I could see that the little one was lost, and that she did not know where to go; so I spoke to her kindly, and, by dint of promising her unlimited bonbons, got her to tell me that her name was Lizzie, and that she lived near Beresford Place, in Lower Ab bey street. I took her band, and we soon started off, talking like old friends. She wss a beaut if nl child, fresh and rosy, with great, candid eyes and fair hair, which was cat short over her eyes and fell in golden ringlets about her shoulders. She trotted bravely along, her soft, little hand holding my great, ragged paw confidingly. As we walked she told me remarkable tales, in which figured a big, black horse, a little knife, a doll, and a number of people I did not know. Lizzie was afraid she would be scolded when she arrived at home, but she was not. and I I was received with trans- "Thank vou."

Colonel Serrel, of the New York Engi neers, had the charge of the construction of the "Swamp Angel," at Morris Island, "Sam, how's Tallier getting along now adays?" "Oh, so-so.

Colonel Serrel ordered him to try. He did so, and returning with his men cover ed with mud said : "Colonel, the mud is over my men s heads: I can't do it." The Colonel insisted that it must be done, and told the lieutenant to' make a requisition for anything that was neces sary for the safe passage of the swamp. The lieutenant did make his requisi tion in writing, and on the spot. It read as follows : "I want twenty men eighteen feet long, to cross a swamp fifteen feet deep. The joke was a good one. It secured, however, not a cabit to the stature of the lieutenant or his twenty men, but rather his arrest for disrespect to his superiors.
