Wo continued to astonish all the good people of for five days, when we dis covered the indubitable fact, that there was no more money to be extracted from their pockets, upon which we resumed our usual clothes and smock frocks, and, with our bundles in our hands, set off fbi another market town, about fifteen miles distant. There we were equally successful, and Mel chior was delighted with our having proved such a powerful acquisition to his troop; bat not to dwell too long upon ono subject, I shall inform the reader that after a trip of six weeks, during which we were very well Yeeeived,we once more returned to the camp,- which had been• located within five miles of our last scene of action. Every one was content—we were all glad to get back and rest from our labours. Melchior was pleas ed with his profits,- poor little note, over joyed to be once more in the seclusion of her tent, and Nattee very glad to hear of our good fortune, and to see her husband. Timothy and I had already proved our selves so useful, that Melchior treated us with the greatest friendship and confidence —and he' made us a present out of the gains for our exertions; to me he gave ten, and to Timothy five pounds. "There, Japhet, had you hired yourself I should not have paid you more than seven shillings per week, finding you in food ; but, you must acknowledge that for six weeks that is not bad pay. However, your earn ings will depend upon our success, and rather think that we shall make a much better thing of it when next we start, which will be in about a fortnight; but we have some arrangements to make. Has Timothy a good memory'?" "I think he has." "That ib well. I told you before that we are to try the 'Wise Man,'—but first we must have Nattee in play. To-morrow we we will start for---,". mentioning a small quiet town about four miles off. We did so, early the next morning, and arrived about noon, pitching our tents on the common, not far from the town; but in this instance we left all the rest of our gang be hind. Melchior's own party and his two tents were all that were brought by the donkeys. Melchior and I, dressed as countrymen, went into the town at dusk. and entered a respectable sort of inn, taking our seats at one of the tables in the tap-room, and, as we had already planned, after'we had called for beer, commenced a conversation in the hearing of the others who were sitting drink ing and smoking. "Well, 1 never will believe it—it's all cheat and trickery," said Melchior, "and they only do it to pick your pocket. Tell your fortune, indeed ! I suppose she pro inibed you a rich wife and half a dozen children." "No, she did not," reltied 1, "for I am too young to marry ; but eWe told me what I know has happened." "Well, what was that ?" "Why; she told me that my mother had married again, and turned me out of doors to work for my bread." "But she might have heard that." "How could she? No, that's not possi ble; but she told me I had a mole on my . knee, which was a sign of luck. - Now how could she know that ?" "Well, I grant that was odd —and pray What else did she promise , your "Why, she said that I should meet with my dearest friend to-night. Now that does puzile me, for I but ono in the world, and he is a long way off." "Well, if you do meet your friend, then I'll believe her; but if not, it has been all guess work; and pray what did you pay all this—was it a shilling, or did she pick your pocket ?" "That,s what puzzles me--she refused to take any thing. I offered it again and again, 'No; that she would have no money—that her gift was not to be sold.'" 4 4We11, that is odd. Do you hear what this young man says?" said Melchior, ad dressing the others, who had swallowed eve ry word. "Yes," replied one ; "but who is - this person 1" "The queen of the gipsies, lam told. I never saw such a wonderful woman in my life—her eye goes right through you. I met heron the common, and as she passed she dropped her handkerchief. I ran back to give it her, and then she thanked me, and said, 'Open your band and let me see the palm. Here are great lines, and you will be fortunate ;' and then she told me a great deal more, and bid God bless me." “Then if she said that, she cannot have dealings 'with . the devil,” observed Mel chior. "Very odd—very strange—take no mon ey--queen of the gipsies," was echoed from all sides. The landlady and the bar-maid listened with wonder, when who should cone in, as previously agreed, but Timothy. I pro tended not to see him, but he came up to me, seizing me by the hand, and shaking it with apparent delight, and crying, "Wilson, have you forgot Smith 7" . "Smith !" cried I, looking earnestly in hie face. "Why ao it is. How came you here?" "I left Dublin three days ago, " replied be, "but how 1 came here, into tis house, is one of the strangest things that ever oc curred. I was walking over the common, when a tall handsome women looked at me, and said, 'young man, if you, will go into tho third poblic.house you.pass, you will Met in old friend, who expects you.' I thought she was laughing at me, hut as it mattered very little in which house I passed the night, I thought, for the fun of the thing, Il might as well take her advice." .lEr 1141 T., F r _4 41"""rYSRURG STAR NN REPUBLICAN BA tiAgk. "now strange!" cried Melchior, "and she told him the .same—that is, ho would meet it frimid." "Strange—very strang----woriderful--- antonishiog !" was echoed from all quarters, and the fame of the gipsy was already en• tab;ished. Timothy and I sat down together, con versing as old friends, and Melchior went nbout from one to the other, narrating the wonderful occurrence till past midnight, when we all three took beds at the inn, as if we were travellers. The report which we had circulated that evening induced many people to go out to see Nattee, who appPared to take no notice of them ; and when asked to tell fortunes, waved them away with her hand. But, al though this plan of Melchior's was, for the first two or three days very expedient, yet, as it was not intended to last. Timothy, who remained with me at the inn, became very intimate with the bar-maid, and ob tained from her most of the particulars of her life. 1, also, from repeated conversa tions with the landlady, received informa tion very important, relative to herself and mariylof the families in the town, but as the employment of Nattee was for an ulterior -.like!, we contented ourselves with gaining all the information we could before we pro ceeded further. After we had been there a week, and the fame of the gipsy woman had been marvellously increased—many things having been asserted of her which were in deed truly improbable—Melchior agreed that Timothy should persuade the bar-maid to try if the gipsy woman would tell her fortune: the girl, with some trepidation, agreed, but at the same time, expecting to be refused, consented to walk with him over the common. Timothy advised her to pre tend to pick up a sixpence when near to Nattee, and asked her if it did not belong to her, and the bar-maid acted upon his sug gestion, having just before that quitted the arm of Timothy, who had conducted her. "Did you drop a sixpence 1 1 have pick ed up one," said the girl, trembling with fear as she addressed :'Nattee. "Child," replied Nattee, who was prepar ed, "I have neither dropped a sixpence, nor have you found one—but never mind that, I know that which you wish, and I know who you are. Now what would you with me? Is it to enquire whether the landlord and landlady of the Golden Lion intend to keep you in their service?" "No," .replied the girl, frightened at what she heard ; "not to enquire that, but to ask what my fortune will be?" "Open your palm, pretty maid, and I will tell you. Bah ! I see that youvere born in the west--your father is dead---your mo ther is in service—and—let me see—you have a brother at sea—now in Li l s) West Indies." At this intelligence, all of which, as may be supposed, had been gathered by us, the poor girl was so . frightened thV she fell down in a swoon, and Timothy carried her oil: When she was taken home to the inn, she was so ill that she was put into bed, and what she did say, was so incoherent, that, added to Timothy's narrative, the astonish ment of the landlady and others was beyond nil bounds. I trieil very hard to bring the landlady, btit she would not consent ; and now Nattee was pestered by people of high er condition, who wished to hear what she would say. Here Nattee's powers were brought into play. She ,would not refuse to see them, but would not give answers till she had asked questions, and, as from us she had gleaned much general information, so' by making this knowledge appear in her questions to them, she made them believe she knew more. If a young person came to her, she would immediately ask the name—of that name she had all the refer ences acquired from us, as to family and connections. Bearing upon them she would ask a few more, and then give them an ab rupt dismissal. This behaviour was put up with from one of her commanding presence, who refused money, and treated those who accosted her, as if she was their superior.. Many came again and again, telling her all they knew, and acquainting her with every transaction of their life to induce her to prophesy, for such she informed them was the surest way to call the spirit upon her. fly these means we obtained the secret history of the major part, that is, the wealthier part of the town of--; and although the predictions of Nattee were seldom given, yet when given, they were given with such pgrfect and appa rent knowledge of the parties, that when she left, which she did about six weeks after her first appearance, the whole town rang with accounts of her wonderful powers. It will appear strange that Melchior would not permit Nattee to reap a harvest, which might have been great; but the fact was, that he only allowed the seed to be sown that a greater harvest might be gathered hereafter. Nat tee disappeared, the gipsies' tent was no longer on the common, and the grass, which had been beaten down into a road by the feet of the frequent applicants to her, was again permitted to spring up. We also_ took our departure, and rejoined the camp with Nattee, whore we remained for a fortnight, to permit the remembrance of her to subsika little—knowing that the appetite was alive, and would not be satisfied until it was appeased. After that time Melchior,Timothv, and I, again set off for the town of—, and stopping at a superior inn in another part of the town, dressed as travellers, that is, peo ple who go about the country for orders from the manufacturers, ordered our beds and supper in the coffee-room• The con versation was soon turned upon the wonder ftl of Nattee, the gipsy, "Non sense," said Melchior, •she knows nothing.

THIS medicine has been before the pub lic for three or four years past and has ac quired probably a greater degree of popu larity, than any article ever het4re introduc ed into general use. It cantinas no noxious atilt:lit, nor mineral or metallic substance and is carefully compounded so as to always be of uriform strength and consistency. It will keep good for years and grows more pleasant by age. Children are gen erally very fond of it, and none will refuse to take it. It is so well adapted to the various complaints of children, that every family should always keep it In their houses, as most families who have used it, now Sailors and travelling persons should always carry it with them. This medicine is put up in round brass moulded vials of two and four ounces ouch, with the words "DR. D. JAvN! ' s CARMI NATIVE BALSAM " blown on them, and the written signature of D.

For the Sum mer Complaint or CHOLERA of children it is unrivalled by any other combination of medi• eine ever used. It has repeatedly effected cures, when every other means had failed aided by the attendance and skill of the a blest physicians, that could be procured.— Obstinate Din rrhams of t ears standing, have been removed by the use of a few bottles of it; violent Dvsenteries arrested and Cholera Morbus cured. The Spasms attending the Malignant Cholera have always been sup pressed in from one to three minutes tune, and that much dreaded and fatal disease re• peatedly cured without the aid of any other article of medicine. In fact its power over spasmodic diseases of every kind seem to he absolute as it has never yet been known to fail of giving relief in a single instance.-- Griping pains, tormina and tonesmus Chol ics, Cramps &c. are also soon removed by it. Hundreds of females and sedentary per sons can attest to its superior excellence in sick and nervous Headaches as two or three teaspoonfidls generally gives them relief in the course of half an hour. - _ Children laboring under the Summer Complaint, have been cured in a short time after all known remedies had failed: —these too who have been so extremely emaciated that their bones almost protruded through their skins, and all hope of recovery aban doned, by all who saw them, have by a few weeks use of this medicine been restored to perfect health.

I never proscribed a medicine for Bowel Complaints that has given me so much satisfaction, and my patients so speedy and per fect relief as this. Whenever introduced into,a family, it becomes a standing remedy for those ailments, and is called for again and again; which I think a pretty good proof of its efficacy and use fulness. In the Summer Complaint of children, it has frequently appeared to snatch the little vic tims, as it wore, from the grave. "It saved the life of my child, and of such and such a child," I have repeatedly heard said. In dysenteric affec tions of adults, I have time and again soon it act like a charm, and give permanent relief in a few hours, I may say in a few minutes.

To both we hog leave to declare, that in the ORNAMENTAL EMBELLISH MENTS of the Minium, the best native ta lent has been engaged; that many painters have received commissions from us for the execution of subjects of national history Tied national scenery; and that engravers of the first merit have been secured to render these works fitting illustrations of our numbers.— However beautiful may have been the pre ceding works of art which have ornamented our pages, and however loud and frequent has been the applause which has greeted their publication, we have no slight satisfite tion in being enabled to stale, that those in preparation surpass any thing of the kind ev er knomn in the United States. No literary ' periodical published in this country has ever attained such an extended circulation as the Mirror, which is of course the best proof of its congeniality to the national taste, and nn unequivocal approval of its system, and the principle of its management. In the course of the volume FOUR SPLEN DID QUARTO STEEL EMBELLISHMENTS, de signed, painted and engraved, by the best and most eminent artists in the country, will he published, together with numerous worm ENonnvisios, illustrative of curious and in teresting scenes, incidents and antigßities, with about FIFTY PIECES of French, 'Span isle German, 'Winn and British mum, ar raneed for the Piano-forte, Ha rp,Guitar,dic. The saw taste which has presided over our MUSICAL SELECTIONS, will superintend those hereafter to appear, and the principles which guide us in this departments will be, as they have hitherto been, novelty and ex cellence, the beauty of the poetry, anti the melody of the accolipaniment. The character of our FOREIGN CORRES PONDENCE is too well known to be descant ed upon here; it is sufficient to state, that the choicest writers have premised their co operation in the home department; and that notwithstanding the enormous expense we have incurred, we shall .continue to appro priate all available talent, and if possible in crease the claims of the Mirror to public support. On these grounds we commend our forth coming volume to the notice and approba tion of our countrymen. CONDITIONS.—The Mirror is publish ed every Saturday, at the corner oFNassau and Ann-streets.
