ON THE CARD.
GO.
LITITZ, PA.
U AN YOU tell fortunes?" she
asked, leaning her elbows on
the table and shuffling the
cards."
"Some people's. Shall I try your
mother's ?' ' Her mother was dozing in
the arm-chair by the fire.
"Oh, don't be silly! Mum's fortune
is told."
" Poor mamma!"
"Well, you know what I mea»n—all
that's worth telling. She refused the
fair man, and married the dark one
wasn't rich, and wasn't quite poor—
quite poor enough!" She shrugged her
shoulders and made a dainty grimace-alas!
unnamable. "Had two tiresome
boys and one very nice girl—voila moi!"
Who was an incorrigible little flirt
and tease," I suggested, bitterly.
"Fortunes don't go into such details
about secondary persons, even if they
happened to be true, which they
a r e n ' t ."
"Oh, yes, they do."
" Since you know so much about it,
you can tell mine." She scattered the
cards toward me with a crash. " I t 's
all right, mum, I 'm only throwing the
cards at Cousin Harry." Her mother
gave a sleepy smile and returned to her
slumbers.
" You mustn't blame me if the cards
are unfavorable."
I shall know you've made it up if
they are."
I wouldn't dream of jesting upon
such a subject," I assured her. "For-tune
telling follows certain essential
principles which are immutable, and—"
"Should be practiced, not preached,.
Goon."
' T o start with, then, you are the
Queen of Hearts."
Why?"
Because the Queen of Hearts repre-sents
feminine beauty and charm,"
Oh!" She leaned back and laugh-ed.
"If you are only going to flatter
me I won't listen."
y state a fact. You are the
Queen of Hearts."
"Ko, I 'm hot. I'm spades or clubs,
because I 'm dark."
Excuse me, it is not a matter mere-ly
of complexion, but of general appear-ance.
Spades, represent plain people,
diamonds passable people, clubs nice-looking
people, and hearts very nice-looking
people. Therefore, you are the
Queen of Hearts."
" Lots of people wouldn't consider
me good-looking at all." Her tone in-vited
contradiction.
Very likely not." She flashed an
indignant glance at me. "But the
fortune teller is the sole judge on these
occasions."
I 'm glad the fortune teller is so ap-preciative.
Of course, I know you're
only pretending." She looked at me
for denial, but I busied myself with the
cards. " Go on!" she cried.
" First I shuffle the cards—so. Then
I cat them—so. Now I place my hand
on them—BO. YOU place your hand on
top of mine"—she did. "Now, I
place my other hand 011 top of yours—
so—and you put your other hand on
top of mine."
I never heard of this before," said
she, doubtfully. Neither did I, but it
had occurred to me as an improvement.
"You must sit quite still and silent
for a full minute."
" I know I shall laugh."
"Then the fortune will be spoiled."
" I don't believe it's necessary."
" Yes, it is—to place the teller and
the tellee en rapport."
" B u t we arn't, you know. We
always quarrel—at least, you do."
"Couldn't we be, just for a minute,
Milly?" I didn't mean to speak
seriously, but I did.
She nodded gravely, and I sat look-ing
at and watching the pink color
steal over her pretty face. I think it
must have been two minutes that we
sat like that, during which I forgave
her all her little wickedness.
There !" said I, reluctantly. ' ' Now
for the fortune. Cut thè cards, Milly.
The fortune must be your own making. ' '
You have made me feel quite seri-ous,"
said she, with a nervous little
laugh.
I t is going to be a serious fortune."
I meant it to be.
"Then—then won't you cut, too,
Harry? To represent other people? I
don't like the responsibility. Please!"
So I cut, too. It didn't matter, you
see, because I looked at the cards I put
them down in the shape of an opened
fan around the queen of hearts. Of
course, I don't know anything about
fortune telling, really.
The disposition of the cards," I
said, gravely, "indicates many possi-bilities
of happiness and good fortuue,
if you take your opportunities, but
much is left to your own decision."
" W h a t a nuisance! Don't they say
how I shall decide ? I shook my head-
The hearts near the queen show that
you are and will be much liked and ad-mired."
I believe you're making it up."
The three kings next to her indicate
three admirers—perhaps lovers."
Whoever can they be?"
The king of clubs, with the other
clubs close by, I take to be a soldier—
goodlooking, dashing and from the dia-monds
in the same line not badly off.
The hearts at the end of the line denote
that you have given him some encour-agement."
" I 'm sure I h a v e n ' t , " said she with
some warmth. Of course she knew. I
meant Capt. Richards. "The cards
are wrong."
"Perhaps they mean that you will
do so," I suggested, inquiringly, hut
she twisted up her handkerchief and
made no answer.
" The king of diamonds, with spades
following, means a n elderly suitor who
has prospered in trade. He is shown
by the diamonds, ending with the
knave, to have made a fortune and re-tired,
handing over the business to his
son." I meant old Parsely.
" I call it very unkind of you, Har-r
y . " Her lip dropped a little, and I
hastened to apologize.
" I t isn't my doing. It's the cards-"
"Well, you know it isn't true. It's
only " she looked over her shoulder
to see that her mother was still asleep—
"mamma's silliness. Why, he's as
old as dad, and I wouldn't. You know
I wouldn't!"
" The cards leave it to you, Milly."
" Don'tyou believe me?" Shelooked
quite hurt.
"Of course, if you say so. I patted
her hand, which was lying on the
table, but she drew it sharply away,
and rubbed the touch off with her
handkerchief.
'' Well—the king of hearts—what
does he mean?"
I considered a moment. " The king
of hearts," I pronounced, slowly,
means a handsome young fellow who
paid you a great deal of attention when
you were staying with the queen of
clubs, a dark relative—probably your
a u n t ."
" I won't listen to another word!"
she cried, indignantly. " I t ' s a nasty,
horrid fortune, and quite untrue!
There!"
" Very well." I made as if I would
sweep the cards together.
'' Don't be disagreeable." She looked
at me reproachfully with one of her
kaleidoscopic changes. I want to hear
it—my proper fortune—not nonsense."
"Well, isn't this true?"
"No, it isn't."
"Didn't he pay you a lot of attention?"
" Young Jephson ?"
" Yes." He was the rival I really
feared.
" Nothing special."
"So you may pay your attention that
you think nothing of i t ."
II You silly fellow!" said she, scorn-fully.
"Why, he's almost engaged to
Cousin Annie." I felt as though a
weight was taken from me.
' Why," I said, " how stupid of me!
She must be the dark lady, I suppose.
I ought to have connected him with
her instead of with you."
' I don't believe you understand the
fortune business a bit."
" I t ' s very difficult," I apologized.
But you see the cards are all right,
when you read t h em properly."
'' What else do they say ?"
" The next point is money. The
seven of diamonds, next to the knave
of clubs—probably your uncle—indi-cates
a legacy; and "
' No, no." she interrupted. 1' I don't
want to know about- money."
"Well the duration of life is known
b y - "
' T h a t doesn't matter," said she
quickly, shrugging her shoulders.
" Then I hardly know what else
there is to tell you." I looked at her
doubtfully. There was one thing only
that I wanted to tell her. "What do
you want to know, Milly?"
She put her elbow 011 the table and
rested her head on her hand. She
launched uneasily, and I held my
breath for an instant.
" I s n ' t there—I mean did you finish
with—the—the—admirers, as you call
them?"
" There is another," I told her, "but
he is hardly worth mentioning."
" Why not? Because he doesn't care
for—doesn't admire, or whatever you
call it—much ?"
" Oh, no. But he's poor, you see.
Being only the King of Spades, he has
to work for his living, so he admires at
a distance. There are two cards be-tween
him and her, you see."
" But," she said very gently, " they
are hearts."
"Yes," said I, "they are hearts;
being two, they show that he is distant-ly
related." We are second cousins
really. " They indicate that he is very
fond of her, but leave it doubtful if she
is more t h a n attached to him." I look-ed
up appealingly to her, but her eyes
were cast down.
' H ow do you make that out?" she
asked at length.
' The card next to her is the two; but
that by him is the ten, which means
great affeetion."
" W h a t does the rest of the line
mean?"
"The nine of spades, on the other
side of the king, shows that he has a
great deal more work to do before he
can be in a position to ask the knave of
hearts—her father—for her hand. Mean-while,
the eight of spades and the ace of
clubs show that he must toil at some
risk in a land across the sea." She
clasped her hands suddenly and looked
up.
" Oh, no, no!" she cried.
" Yes," I said, quickly and sadly.
"Where?" Her dainty mouth was
quivering.
1' The cards do not say. But it is the
Cape, I believe, where a relative has of-fered
him a good berth."
We looked at the cards in dismal si-lence
for a while. Then she smiled at
me ever so brightly.
" There is the ace of hearts at the end
of the line, Harry," she whispered.
" What does t h a t mean ?"
I took the hand near me gently in
mine. " I think, Milly," I said earn-estly,
" it must be my heart, because it
isoverby y6u. Will you have it, dear?"
She looked down for a moment, then
pushed it gently toward me. "I t h i n k , ''
she said, " it must be my heart—which
is going over the sea with you."
How is That.
"Always do right and your friends
will stand by you."
"Yes, but the time a man needs
friends to stand by h im is when he does
wrong."

To and Pro and Labored for the
Love of Their God.
F r o m t h e M o r a v i a n.
One thing impressed itself on my
mind, in my rambles through the
" God's Acre;" that it was the last rest-ing
place of so many brethren whose
names figure prominently in the ser-vice
of the Church in Pennsylvania.
And I often wandered to t h e graves of
the beloved Bishop who baptized me in
infancy, and to that of the brother who
confirmed me.

reads the legend on the grave stone of
a devoted servant of the Church. His
wife was Mary Evans, (Sr. Molly
Evans, as the diarists love to call her),
one of the first converts made by Count
Zinzendorf in Philadelphia, and from
1746-47, Vice Superintendent of the
Single Sisters at Nazareth. Her parents
were natives of England, and her moth-er's
brother the Rev. Thomas Moore
was the Chaplain of the Bishop of At-terbury,
and rector of Little Britain
and Chiselliurst. After a visit to this
uncle in 1753 she was married to Bro.
Russmeyer.

This brother was left an orphan very
early in life; learned stocking weaving,
and served a term as a soldier. In
1745, he united with the Church at
Herrnhaag, and came to Pennsylvania,
when that settlement was abandoned.
He was employed in the " Nursery " at
Nazareth, and labored in the congre-gations
at Emmaus, Bethel, Warwick,
Lancaster, Graceham, and at Mt. Joy—
at the latter place for twenty-seven
years. He had been ordained a Deacon
of the Church at Lancaster, May 16,1762,
by Bishops Seidel and Helil.

Bro. Nicolaus Lorenz Bagge was in-stalled
Pfleger of the Single Brethren
March 16, 1762, by Bro. Gottlieb Pet-zold,
the General Superintendent of the
choir in America. This was his last of-ficial
act, as he died two weeks later. I
have before me a receipt of Bro. Bagge
of £4 13s. for a " new suit of cloaths,"
and for the expansion of his journey to
Lititz, received from the Bethlehem
Economy. About the same date Bro.
Michael Efaberland was given fifteen
shillings for the traveling expenses of
Sr. Magdalena Meyer and Christina
Born, whom he escorted to Lititz. To
the brethren Rhode, Augustin Shubart
and Krogstrup, (with a horse), £1 13s.
was appropriated for "expense to at-tend
Synod at L i t i t z . " These brethren
must have taken turns in riding the
horse, provided he was not laden with
their belongings.
There hangs in the Archive room in
the Brethren's house, a draft of the
Lititz tract, prepared by that clever
Moravian surveyor and draughtsman
George Wenzeslaus Golkowfsky, based
on the field notes of C. G. Reuter and
J. F. Oerter. He was a native of Bro-beek,
Principality Teschen, Upper Si-lesia,
and immigrated to Bethlehem in
1753. In 1762 he was appointed book-keeper
and surveyor for the Barony of
Nazareth, and took up his residence at
Christian Spring. He died in Decem-ber
of 1813. Some years ago I had ac-cess
to his papers, and gleaned much of
interest on lines of research I was then
following. His reputation as a survey-or
extended beyond the Moravian do-main,
and he was frequently employed
in the neighboring counties and even
in New Jersey. The late Squire Busse,
of Nazareth, described him to me as
being a short, thick set man, an active
pedestrain, and the people of the town
always knew that "Old Gully" was
abroad by the yelping of his two favor-ite
dogs as they ran in advance of him.
Under date of December 15, 1763, the
diarist of Lititz states, " Received the
terrible news of the massacre of the
Manorland Indians by white men, first
at their settlement eight miles from
Lancaster, and then in the workhouse
at Lancaster." My great-grandfather
William Henry, Jr., has left the follow-ing
account of this fiendish murder:
" T h e first notice I had of this affair,
was while at my father's house near
the Court House, I saw a number of
people running down the street toward
the jail, which induced me and other
lads to follow. I ran into the prison,
and what a sight presented itself tomy
view. Near the back door of the prison
lay an old Indian and his squaw, par-ticularly
well known by the people of
the town, named Will Sock. Across
him and his squaw, lay two young
children whose heads were split open
with the tomahawk and scalped. In
the middle of the yard lay a stout
Indian who had been shot in the breast,
his legs and hands chopped off, and
finally a rifle ball discharged in his
mouth, so t h a t his head was blown to
atoms. In this manner lay the whole
of them, men, women and children,
spread about the yard, shot, scalped,
hacked and cut to pieces."
Will Sock and his squaw were well
known to my great-grandfather, as
they were frequent visitors to t h e home
of his parents to dispose of their wares.
The Moravian inns,—the Red Rose, of
Nazareth, the Sun, of Bethlehem, and
the Anchor, of Lititz, deservedly enjoy-ed
for many years the highest reputa-tion
for the cleanliness and comfort of
their bedrooms, and the excellence of
their table: The Sun inn was the best
known to the general public owing to
its location, but during the occupation
of Philadelphia by the British forces,
the Anchor entertained a fair share of
Congressmen and officers of the army
wending their way from the Eastward
to York.
The Lancaster Journal of Saturday,
May 16, 1801, printed by William Ham-ilton,
at Franklin's Head, King street,
west of the Court House, contains the
following obituary notice:
Died, on Sunday last, after a long and
lingering illness, Mrs. Elizabeth Eber-man,
wife of John Eberman, of this
borough, in the 49th year of her age;
and on Tuesday, at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon her remains were interred in
the Moravian burial ground.
She has left a disconsolate husband
to lament her death. A young family
deplore her loss, as an affectionate
mother. But she is gone to praise Him
who bore her sorrows, and died on the
cross, to redeem her soul.
