THE END OF THE WORLD.—Easter Sunday fell
this year on the 31st March. Every one knows that Easter
is I moveable feast, the date of which is determined by the
/noon. The Council of Nice decided that .Easter Sunday
glihould be always the first Sunday after the full moon
falls on the 21st March. If the full moon falls on the 21st
March, and that clay should be a Saturday, then Easter
Sunday will be on the 22d. It can never be before the 22d
March, nor after the 25th April, the latter being the extreme
date. In the present century Easter Sunday will only fall once
.°,ll the 25th April—in ISB6. The 25th April is St. Mark's day.
"ti that year Good Friday will be on the 23d April, St.
2e°l'ge's day, and the Fete-Dieu on Saint-John's day.
-there is an old prediction repeated by Nostradamus in his
Centuries, whsoh says :

Quana Georges Dieu crucifiera,
Que Marc lu ressuseitera,
Et Que St. Jean it portera,
La fin du monde arrivera.
According to that prediction therefore the end of the world
:to lake place in 1886.
