OORCUDBD.J Pmith'i drvBm, ab the reftder mtj suppove. tended scmewbBt to confirm me in the truth of tho reve'niions I had received. Taken in connection with thoae of my wifü and my little daughter, I confess it troubled me. The twtnty thounnnd dot in especially seemed to indicate IsM truthfulness on the Dart of the raDS I hud heurd. The

journey by electric telegraph was also, to say the least, a wonderful coincidence. And yet I had doubti. Something more than alt this wits neeesaary to diapel my skeptici tm. For-1 tunately, or unfortunately if the read er prefer, while reading the morning paper my eye fell upon the advertiswin nt of M 1 1 mi Cftrftboni, the evendi daughter of a seventh diiugh cr. Site prufessed to bo able to read (he future; lo tell whom the applicant would marry, and even to ahow the face of the intended wife or husband. Of course, being married, I eared rothing about her skill in this line. Rhu added, also, that aha had power to foretell all matters relative to deaths and pecuniary peculations, assuring the reader that many penoni had made fortunes by attending to her prognostications. Now, aaid I, am I auch a fool aa to put any faith in the skill of this mis erable i' ipoator? To think of visilii.jr Mich a. hag I I will not doit. An I yet I might call upon bit just in the edge of the evening. She promises the mo.it profound secreay. Who will be the wiser for my visit? On nn ordinary occasion, ot course I would not o a step out of my way to gain all the knowledge that Madam Caraboni pretends tc possess. But now, with my mind distracted between faith and unbelief, on a subject that so nearly concerns my own interests and those of my family, ought I not to nvail myself of everything in my power to produce conviction one way or the other? But I will not dwell upon lbs logio or the sophistry that dnnced through my brain nil that day, and prevented mo from attending properly to my business. Nor need I attempt to describe how contemptibly mem I tVI: when, having paid mydol lar, I was shown into the room of this pretended revealer of secrete. I was satisfied before I went that she wai an impostor, and all that she toldmu confirmed that opinion. The reader shall judge. After a few minutes of apparent conversation with a Urge black tornoat, which sat upon a high chair by her side, and while shuffling and cutting a greasy pack of cards, she muttered in what was intended for broken French, but which I shall not attempt tn imitate: "Yes, yes, a widower! Wife dead; let me mo, three, four years, or eUe three yeara and four months. Wanting another partner. Hieb? Yes nine of diamonds -very rich." "How much ishhe worth?" I asked, much amused ut the absurdity of thu revelation. "Uow much? Let me see. Clubs, houses; seven of spades, Jack, too, ten thousand, twouty thousand dollars !" "Is that all ?m,0nly twenty thousand?" "Let me see; let mo see," she reElied. More? Yes. Mayb more. I t) he twice as much. Soon, too. Hearts, hearts, hearts. Iu a few weeks. Less than a month. Uaddv. S v happy man!" There was much more gibberish of the same sort; but I have told all that is material, and went home profoundly FmpreMcd with tho idea that I had been humbucd. At our tea table I found that most troublesome fellow, Sykes, or, hs he atyles himself, T. Jefferson Syke-. I supposed, of course, that he had connto borrow money, or to ask my assistance in getting him out of some scrape, or to give him a note of recommendation to some vacanl oflke, one or other of those objects being theu-u al inducement for favoring u with his presence at the tea-table. Svkes i one of that class of men with which 1 Mippose everybody is familiar. My wile calls him a hanatr on. She never liked him, nor did 1. for that matter; but he atuck to me like a leech. I bad frequently said things which ought to huvo offended him, but without effecting that object, aud he persisted in regarding me as tho bent friend he had in the world. "Well," said Lj "Sykes, what's wrong now?" "O, nothing wrong now; all right, right as a trivet. I thought I would just drop in and seo if 1 could do anything for you in my H e." "Your line?" said I, laughing, "and what may that be?" With creat complacency Sykes oxplained himself. Without any assu rance from me, and, indeed, without my knowledge, ho had obtained a situation likely lo afford him a competent support. He was an agent for a newly-started Life Insurance Company, and received a per contain ou the business which he brought mto tho concern. I am 'bus particular in this Sart of my nsrrative, not only because ykes has an important part in it, but because on of tho most villainou schemes that ever haunted any man's brain now began to torture me. Thia was to tfect aninturanet ontkt Mfe of my UneU Jerry. And why not? Is there anything wrong in it? Something seemed to answer tho question in the affirmative. Jerry is dead and you know it. Tho Company is ignorantof that fact, or, of course, they would not insure for you on any termi. But then I do not know that my uncle

is dead. I do not believe he in Do 1? The Company, Syke said, would mime the UU o( any man in Alabama,

or anywhere else, if they were sstisfiad he was living at the latest dates for any length M time, and for any amount as high as ho was not quite sure on that point, 'out he thought for a figure as high as twenty thousand dollars ! What did Madame C irboni say? Was it not that I ahould come into the possession of twenty thousand dollars in less than a month, and that

I might make it twice ns much if I EleitM'ii? Something like that, 1 think; ut then shu told mo such absurdities about my being a widower in search of another wife, that I could not help thinking of the little law-Lstin with which I wns acquainted. fnUa invito, folia in omnibut. But then could this maxim be applied to a ote of thia kind? Was it not tho province of a reasonable mun lo sepsrale what might be true from what was palpably

And as lor his mo ney perish the thought that but it would certainly be a great help to mc, : and if he is dead, why there is no harm in knowing it. But here, iig.tin. my perverse disposition showed itself, and I exclaimed, "The whole thing is R delusion und a sham. Jerry is nlive and well, and I shall have a dispatch from him assuring mu of the the fact. I will expose these wretched rspp rs and denounce them bb impostors!" Thus the hours of the day pntsed on. Just as the clock whs striking ItO, MJdl was about to, ...urn to my home the long-expected dispatch from New Orleans was put hands. I did not hasiilv teat it open. est i y i inln t . i t r e I laid it on my desk ami looked nt it. I was alone in my office. There was Rcold sweat upon my brow. My fancy conjured tho dis'i.ttch, in ils yellow envelope, into a fearful thing. It ccmed u me to have a supernatural appearance. The fact is, if I must own the truth, 1 fell afraid lo open it. Hut I could not tell why. 1 reasoned with mysulf: but, like Milton's devils, thu inoro 1 reasoned, the more I found j mysolf "In waaderlag tnaset I .: "Fooh !" 1 exclaimed at length, "I am a tool!" I tore the sealed envelope, and road rs follows: "NBW 0ftLRANS,a-16 I M. Left here six weeks. Sick. Faid his bill. Said to Alabama. A small valise. Trunk here." What now? Is Jerry dead, or is he not? That he had left New Orleans I could not doubt, nor that he wm sick, or at least th .t he hud been sick. Said to Alabama. That menns, Jerry said ho was going there. Of courso. How natural nil this was to an unprejudiced mind ! and so far as circumstantial evidence can go. how does it corroborate the truth of the revelation made by the rappers! And yet, strungu as it may seem, 1 still had double. All thi' might very well be, ami my uncle be tili in the land of the living- "Of course " said I to myself, "a coincidence." Nothing moru. At this moment, softly ami unnnnouncod, ns was his custom, Sykes popped into the office. "Well, said he, "have you made up your mind about your uncle?" My uncle? What do you mean?" "insuring his life, you know. Our folkswill do it.One and a half per

cent Twenty thousand dollars, if you like!" 0 how guilty did 1 feel! If I bad actuidly been instrumental in bringing about Jerry's death, and had purposely deceived and cheated the insurance company, I question if I should have felt worst. "I never had any intention to insure my uncle's life,'' I erid, in a tone tlmtwaa intended to terrify, but which seemed to hage quite a conti t ry effect, for Svkes laughed, and his laugh is one of the most disagreeable you ever hear I. It sounded then more hideous than the howl of a hyena. "IUI ha! hal You didn't, hey? Tit it's a good one.

No one of us obtained any satisfaction. I he raps came, indeed, but in such a helter-skelter way that it was impostiblo to translate them into decent English. The lady made many apologies, and assured us that such things did not often occur. She would return our ... - j m0ney if we wished. 0 no! of course not. Wo were too polile. It was not h r t'.iult. I had scarcely left her house, ou my way home, when it occurred to me that, tfter all, I had been rash in reaching the conclusion that the spirit had revealed nothing of importance. I will state tbo fact just as it wm. and let the reader judge. The question I hnd proposed, mentally was this: Who is my best friend on earth' I forgot to mention that on this oci J our que(llion, were pr0pos.:l , :, . -- . ,K.. 5, to speak, or even write lhefo , h(d previo.a,v Mked nlcon. ceivable questions about the one. thing uppermost in my mind, the death of Jerry and the twenty thousand dollars, hut, is before observed, had received no satifactory response. Now I asked, and, as directed, endeavored to keep my mind intently fixed upon tho question; " Who i my best friend on earthf" Of course the answer ought to have been, as the reader very wells knows, Hm Jane. For that I was prepared, but it did not come, and instead of it; these three unmeaning letters, t-j-s. "Like all the rest," said 1, "it moans nothing." Some one else then engaged tho attention of the circle, and not until I had left the house did it occur lo me that these letters wero tin mit. als of T. Jefferson Syk s! Curious, wasn't it? Of course I returned immediately, hnd anothtr interview with the indium, and ssked if she could recall that spirit. Weil, no; she" thought not. The influence, was gone, and for her part she believed those who were present that! night must all have been lying spirits. I thought this very likely, nnd yet I was exceedingly anxious to bo satis-1 tied whether even a lying spirit would insist upon it that Sykes was my best earthly friend I felt a little ashamed of my sell when my suspicious nature so fat prevailed as to induoe me to withhold from the lady tho name to which 1 supposed the spirit referred by h t j h. She kindly yielded to my entreaties, and endeavored to put me in communication with the spirit world, but, for a long time, in rain, Al length we had a few raps, faint and indistinct. They evidently meant nothing, or if theyjuad a meaning, it

was beyond our comprehension. "Keep your mind steadily fixed on your question," said the lady. I tried, with all my might, to do so, and to tome extent succeeded. My question was the same as before. " Who it my btat fri -ndon tarthf" The answer was not very clear, but wo thought the raps indicated s-s-t. "Will the spirit please to repeat?" "Yes!" I kept my thoughts upon the question, and now there was no mistake; the answer was m i. I was pussled. "I know no one with those initials," I said. "Think," said tho lady, apparently as anxious as I was myself! But it was of no use, and so we gave it up, the medium observing, ns I left, that doubtless we had been imposed upon by evil spirits. Meditating upon these letters on my way homeward, and just as I reached the spot where I stopped btfore, tho whole truth flashed upon roe like a spark of electricity. They aro the last letters in the three names Thomas Jefferson Sykes! I had bad T-J-8-, and now i-n I. Strange, wasn't it? And yet in what wav

" "l'ro going your way," said Sykes, rising at the same time. "So 1 suppose." 1 muttered; and when wo were in the street I told him 1 was not going directly home, but wauted to call at a certain place in an opposite di cciion. "That's lucky." he replii d.
