Charles He.witt lives in Macomb County, and pursues agriculture. When he had sold his load of potatoes on the market he took his way to a female fortune-teller and paid his dollar-bill to have her roll her eyes and begin: “You live on a farm. You are a true good young man. You would go a mile out of your way rather than nit a poor mosquito with a sledge hammer. You love a girl. Beware! She pretends to love you, but she’s a base hypocrite. Crush her memory from your heart this hour. You will soon meet a rich lady who will fall in love with you and lead you a life of Heavenly happiness—that’s all —turn to the left as you get down stairs.” Charles reached the. street with pale face, shining eyes and spelling heart, and he took from his pocket a photograph, tore it into strips, and kicked up behind in'his rage as he hissed : “ Over six shilling squandered on that faithless girl this winter for peppermint drops alone!” When Charles was picked up at midnight he had crawled under a wagon in an alley and cried himself to sleep. “ Boy!” began his Honor, in a voice which made the stove-pipe tremble, “ you are too pure and innocent for this wicked world. Bijah will hunt up your other suspender and the bottle of hair-dye which were taken from you, and then you skit for the blessed country and swallow enough rose-buds to bring on the galloping consumption.” “Blamed if I don’t,” was all he said as he went. —Detroit Free Press.
