PREDICTIONS FOR 1aha.

According to new Almanac, the year
OF our Lord, 1859, is to be an eventful
one. We extract from the said Almanac
the following sagacious predictions, which
will, doubtless, be fulfilled.
Through the whole course of the
coming year whenever the moon wanes
the night will be dark On several occa.
sions, during the year. the sun will rise
before certain people discover it, and set
before they have finished the days work.
1t is quite likely that when there is no
business being done, many will be heard
to complain of hard times, but it is equal
ly certain that all who hang themselves
will escape starvation. If bustles and
hoops go out Of fashion, church pew will
hold more than three ladies. If dandies
wear their boards there will be less work
for the BARRIERS, and he who wears mus
taches will have something to sneeze at.
There will be many eclipses of virtue,
some visible others invisible. Whosoever
is in love will think his mistress perfect
angel, and will only find out the truth of
his suspicion by getting married. Many
delicate ladies, whom no one would sus-
pect, will be kissed without telling their
Mas. There will be more books publish.
ed than will find readers, and more bills
made than will find payers. If the en-.
cumbent Of a fat Office should die, there
will be dozen feet ready to step into one
pair of shoes. Ifany young lady should
blush, she will look red in the face, with.
out the use of paint; if she dream of a
young man three nights in succession, il
will be sign of something if she dream
of him four times, or have the tooth-ache.
IT is ten to one she will be long time get.

A SucKER-There is a definition of
this term, SO commonly applied that is
not found either in johnson or Webster
A sucker is being who may be found
lounging about bar-rooms, watching the
entrance of an acquaintance, who, from
mistaken liberality will ask him to eat
oysters, drink teddy or smoke cigar,
a favor of courtesy which your sucker is
never known to reciprocate. The sucker
generally speaking, if a married man, is
a shittless idle fellow, and his wife is
compelled towork her fngerst to the bone
