PREDICTIONS FOR NEW YEAR.


According to the wise heads and soothsay-
ers of the present day, the year of our Lord
1855 is to be an eventful one. We extract
the following sagacious predictions, which
will doubtless be fulfilled: r..
"Through the whole course of the coming
year, whenever the moon wanes the night will
grow dark. On several occasions, 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 doing, many will be heard
to complain of hard times, but it is equally Ger.
tain tina. all who hang themselves will escape
starvation. If bustles and hoops 60 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 mustaches will have something to
sneeze at. There will be many eclipses of vir-
tue, some visible and others invisible. Who
soever is in love, will think his mistress is a
perfect angel, and will only find out the truth
Of his suspicion by getting marriea. Many
delicate ladies, whom no one would suspect,
will be kissed without telling their mas
There will be more books published than will
find purchasers, more rhymes written than will
find readers, and more bills made than will
find payers. If the incumbent of fat office
should die, there will be a dozen feet ready to
step into one pair Of shoes. If any young Ia
dy should happen to blush, she will be apt to
look red in the face, without the use of paint ;
if she dream of young man three nights in
succession, it 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 a long time
in getting either of them out of her head
Many people will drink more strong liquor
than will benecessary to keep them sober, and
take more medicine than will be requisite to
the enjoyment of good health. Dinners and
entertainments will be given to those who have
enough at home, and the poor will receive
much advice gratis, legal and medical except
ed. The public debts of the repudiating
States will very probably attend private con-
tracts in this latitude He who marries this
year will run a great risk, especially if he does
it in hurry, He who steals match gives
tatlers occasion to gossip, and will be apt to
involve himself and bride in disagreeable rela-
tions. There will be great noise all over the
country when it thunders, and tremendous
dust will be kicked up occasionally by the
coach.horses. Many young ladies, who hope
for it but little expect it, will be married and
many who anticipate that glorious consumma-
ton, will be doomed to wait another year
Finally, there exists little doubt, this will be
"most wonderful" year, surprising in interest
all that have preceded it. Politicians will
make fools Of themselves; pettifcggers will
make fools Of others; and women with pretty
faces make fools of both. The world will 90
round as usual, and come back to the place
whence it set out, as will many man who en-

and little wool, at the sheering of pigs and
