Iu every large city there t# always to be found @ numberless class termed “sharpers,” ‘ hum- bugs,” or Jeremy Diddlers,"" who obsein « live- Ubood by imposing upon the credulous portion of the community, Among these may be classed the “ Astrologisis, ‘‘ Booth-ssyers,"’ “ Test mediuma,"* end “Clairvoyants,"’ who profess to read remark- able facts im @ pack of cards, and hint mysterious things as the sight of mole, or dimple; or trace the “*path of desiiny “ by the lines in the hand; Gnd out the “one, bright, particular star’ which will guide the thquiring dupe into realms of per- fect happiness ¥'‘work the planots;'" “tell the very dey you will marry," and, lastly, unfold « secret, the knowledge of which will secure to any indivi- dual “unlimitable wealth," end all for « one dollar greenbeck. The business is very profitable, litle of no outlay being required, The mock in trade principally consists of « peck of cards, telescope, (through which to view the plansis) looking-gless, globe, chart, and @ palr of compasses, —the latter articles for appear. ence sake, Most of these institutions which pro- fleas to exclude gentlemen, but with whom they are in league, are patronized by simple-minded girls, and vain old women, whose credulity is easily worked upom by these ewindlers, Although tm the generality of cases (no immediate or direct evil arises from the silly jargon relative to **forth- @oming events,” which may be poured into the ear of some unsophisticated girl, yet s great many instances are known in which the desire to peep behind the veil of futurity bas resulted dis- estrously to the foolish seeker after such information. A case came directly under the notice of » Box reporter o short time since, which is but one instance among many, illustrating the vast amount of mischief and suffering created in the community by these ‘planet ruling’ humbugs. A young girl, only 17 years of age, named Cano- uma G——, and residing in one of the central Warde of this city, was the victim in this case, Canocurg and her two sisters, Manganat and As- wis, lived with their mother, a widow, all of whom obtained « precarious living at plain sewing. To Cano.ina, & preity girl of extremely delicate Con- stitution, was alloted the duty of visiting the prin- ¢ipal stores to solicit work for the family. Through frequent visite to a manufacturing house in Broad- way, abe became somewhat intimately acquainted with eclerk, whose line of business consisted in “giving out’ the work, This man formed, or pre- tended to form an atiachment for the young girl, which, however, was not reciprocated, but he gave ber invitations to acoompany him to balls, theatres and other places of amusement, which were some- times refused, and oocasionally accepted. But, notwithstanding al! bis ettentions, his addresses were not entertained with the euthusissm he desired; which state of affairs caused him great annoyances, and confirmed him in his evil designs, One aiternoom the couple having met at the store, the clerk proposed thas they should go that even- fng and heve their fortunes told ‘*for fun ;" to which the unsuspecting girl assented, providing that Marzoazer, her sister, should go with her, According to appointment the three met, end wended their way to ® certain * Madame," desig- mated by bim, and who professed to be the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter,"’ with ae remarkable gift for reading the “scroll of des- tiny,” etc. Just before they arrived at the house, @avees (such was bis name) remembered that te mdaiewe of goulemen was ‘strictly Prohibited,” and he persuaded the sisters to enter alone, which they reluctantly dit. Having ar- rived in the presence of the ‘‘Madame,'' who ant at ® table surrounded by the usual paraphernalia, her face wearing ao expression of mystery and wis- dom, Camciime was questioned as to her age, hour of ber birth, and # number of other ailly formalities were @ through with, in order that the planets might be effectually worked. The destiny of the poor girl wae finally “traced” and told, which included the following :—That she was to be married to “certain young man," (who was accurately described in every particu ar, and which description exactly applied to the young man who accompanie! ber t! ither), that he was of “noble disposition; that she was to piace every con- fidence in bim; that fate hed decrred him to Leber partner, and that to purque any other course would “blast her hopes for « These remarks were Pronounced in @ very dramatic and unnatural manner, and bad the effect fotenied upon the sus- ceptible mind of the girl, for itis hardly necessary to aay that Gaonga had previously visited “Ma! aine,'’ planned the meeting, an’ induced ber fors consideration to make the predictions above related. The plot was successful and Canor really he. Heved thet Grongm was her “destiny '' Next comes the oft repeated story of implic!t confilence and wicked betrayal, Nos only thie but the poor deceived child subsequently discovered that Gronas Was e married man with twociildren, Hor mie ory was complete, Despmed by her friends, Je graded in her own mind, reproached by ber mother, she determined to put an end to aa existence which bad become hateful to her, Late one night she took apbial of landanum, but, be- coming slermet, aot perhaps regretting the rash act, she told her ester what she had dove. Med leal aid was surmmoued, antidotes were app ied, but the fatal poison bad done ite work too well, Ad inquest was held, and @ verdict of ‘sieath from an overdose of laudanum, taken during « tempo- rary aberration of the rnind,'’ wae rendered. The last words she ever uttered were: “Madame —~ will answer for this deed!" Every sensible per eon will imagine it to be ridiculous for any one to allow this “sootheaying'’ to interfere with the affaira of life ; but watch the evirance to any one of these fortune-telling institutions, and sce the pale-faced, haggerd-looking individuals, male and female, who daily pass in and out, to be deceived, and pay well for the deception. No one in o healthy state of mind, who value their reputation, would enter these dens of necromancy, where the most wicked plots are concocted, to the awful re- sults of which many can testify. LOCAL NEWS. NEW YORK AND THE VICINITY. Tur Caarrry BALL, —The word ‘* Charity” basin many instances been brought forward ase sort of cloak for “covering # multitude of snes” and that litera!!y #0, for those who have eo often used that aacred name, bave simply used it for thelr own purposes, in fect to “cover the multitude of sins” which they were then committing by appropriating the greater part of the proceeds to themselves. Such, however, could not be said of the ball last evening at the Academy of Music, which was given for the benefit of the “Nursery and Chili's Hospital,’ of thie city, The entire proceeds of this bal, which emounted to about $14,000, will go into the fund for the sapport of this excel- lont charity, The expenses wil! be covered by the sale of the boxes, which sold at from 2h to $125 each, and all refreshments, including supper, &c., were paid for by the parties who required such refreshments. The ball opened at half-past 9 o'clock by a grand procession, which was hea‘e! by the President, Mr. Arthur Leary, andthe First Directress, Mrs. M. A. Du Bots.

Let it considered the five thousand tickets were sold, an then an idea may be entertained of the jam which was in the large ball. Notwithstanding the great crowd, it was universally conceded that this wes the grandest ball of the season, The mume wes all that could be wished, Gratulle of the Beveuth had the military bend under his charge, and J, M.
