PREDICTIONS FOR THE YEAR 1880.
I'm grand homme mourra cefte aimee, et 4
aura Ges notyrages.
ALMANAC DE LFIGE.
The year 1880 will be a very oventful ont
to every old maid who gets married.
Throughout the whole course of the year
whenever tho moon wanes the nights viii
grow dark.
Those who havo debts TO pay, and no cash
will lose their credit.
Ii is probable that if there is no business
doing, people will complain Of hard times, but
il is certain that those who hang them.
elves will escape starving to death. Any
man who spends faster than he earns will
rot be richer at tho end Of tho year than ho
was ut the beginning, which is more certain
i'll. He that bites off his own nose or turns
politician, will act like a fool, and that is the
most certain ofall
If bishop sleeves go out Of fashion there
will be more elbow-room for the ladies. II
toques follow, we may perhaps see over their
heads If either Of them should be talked Of
there will be much ado about nothing,
Many man will grow rich this year--in
a dream.
The coming session Of Congress will be
ono of uncommon interest and impor-
tance. This cannot fail Of proving true, be.
cause il has been said every year regularly,
ever since We have had a remembrance.
IF dandiss wear their boards there will be
less work for the BARRIERS. he who wears
mustachios will have something to sneeze at.
He who does either will look like n rulan,
and we pray all such to keep ont of our sight
Iftho incumbent Of Fat Office should die,
there will be a score of iect ready to step into
ono pair OF shoes,
If any old miser .'dios, il will occasion the
shedding of many tears-that olive in an on.
ion"
He who marries during this year will run
great rsk-that is if be does il in hurry
He who stenls match will make tattlors gos
sip and get himself into a scrapo.
lie that is pennyless this year will not
grieve much at tho fall of stocks. He who
grows old without growing wise, will be n
long time coming to years Of discretion.
lie who wants to borrow money will know
the value Of it. He who laughs at his own
dull Jokes, or hunts for cat with three
legs, or becomen candidate for Office,
will rival honest Dogberry, and be content
TO" write himself an ass"
There will be moro books published this
year than will find purchasers; more rhymes
written than will find readers; and more
bills made out than will find payers.
Whoever is in love this year will think
bis mistress an angel. Whoever gets
married, will find out whether il be true.
He that loses his hair this year will grow
bald. He that loses his wife will become
D widower. He that loses his cash must
sell off stock, or go 90 tho brokers, from
whom heaven preserve us!
Ifany young lady should happen TO blush
or baste a turkey this year, che will look red
in the face. If sho dreams Off young man
three nights in sucsession it will be q sign
Of something. If she dream Of him four
times, or have the toothacho, it is ton to
one that she is long time getting either
Of them out of her head.
If a man builds house this year without
counting tho cost, no will know more st the
end ofhs undertaking than at the beginning.
If any one jumps overheard without
knowing how to swim, it is two to one that
he gets drowned. If any one lends an
umbrella.it is ten to one that he is obliged
TO 90 home in tho rain for his pains.
There will be n great noise about the
whenever It thunders; and great
dust will be kicked up-by coach-horses
unless the roads are macadamised.
Whoever runs in debt this year will be
dunncd. Whoever hires money ont ofthe
banks will be in no hurry to see the last
day Of grace. Whoever is ont at the
elbows will thinA Of tailor. Whoever is
high upon his score and low in the pocket
will think ofa Deputy Sheriff.
Whoever makes the discovery that the
world is given TO lying, will do what Jack
Fals,aiT has done before him. :
Many an old sinner will resolve TO turn
over new leaf this year. but the new leaf
will turn out blank. Many 4 fond fool
will Jump into a honey-pot-and find il
mustard 4 without being able to say
with the fy, "I'm Oft"
Many things will be wondered at this
year, and turn out not To be miracles
Many n great man will toll fine story 10
which Mr.Burchell would have said
"Fudgc."
Finally we are Of opinion that this will
be a wonderful year,-lust like all that
have gone before il. Politicians will make
fools Of themselves, petifogCers will make
fools Of others and women with pretty faces
will me he fools Of both themselves and 9TH
crs. The world viii 60 round and come
