HIS PAST, PliESEXT ASD FUTURE.
Interesting Information for One Dol

"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."
"Certainly net. What would you like

She gave me hack my large, round
half dollar and told me that she was al

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.

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-

when one of his lieutenants, whom he
had ordered to take twenty men and en

do it the mud was too deep."
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.
The battery, nevertheless, was built
