dies will
risk no further visits when they learn that they may with as much
propriety visit any other assignation house, as a fortune-teller's den.

A recapitulation of the various prophecies made to the Cash
Customer would show that he has been promised thirty-three wives,
and something over ninety children--that he was brought into the
world on various occasions between 1820 and 1833--that he was born
under nearly all the planets known to astronomers--that he has
more birth-places than he has fingers and toes--that he has passed
through so many scenes of unexpected happiness and complicated
misfortune in his past life, that he must have lived fifty hours
to the day and been wide awake all the time--and he has so many
future fortunes marked out for him that at three hundred and
fifty years old his work will not be half done, and when at last
all _is_ finally accomplished, a minute dissection of his aged
corpus will be necessary, that his earthly remains may be buried
in all the places set down for him by these prophets.

But aside from a humorous contemplation of the subjects, he
trusts he has done his work well; he is sure he has done it
faithfully, and he honestly hopes that some good may come of his
labors to write down here honestly the ignorance and imbecility
of The Witches of New York.
