PREDICTIONS FOR 1861,

The year 1861 will be very eventful
one to every maiden who gets. married.
Throughout the whole course of the
year, twhenever the moon wanes, the
nights will grow dark.
Whoever is in love this year will
blink his mistress an angel. & Whoever
9s, gsss married will find out whether it be
IN that loses his hair this year will go
He that loses. his wife will become a

If al young lady should happen to
blush, she will lock red in the face; if
she dreams of a young man three nights
in succession, it will be sign of some
thing. IF she dreams of him four times.

If any one jumps ssoverboard without

If any one lends an umbrella, it is ten

Whosoever runs in debt this year will

Many an old sinner will resolve to

Don't Run Away.


Don run away from the worlds temp
tations and influences. IF you are really
coward, go and hide yourself some
where until you have screwed up back
bone enough to face the enemy like a
man. Don't run away at the slightest
indication of danger, as if you hadn'
the slightest confidence in yourself
Nobody ever conquered foe by beating
a retreat. If you mean to fight the battle
of life like hero, you can't begin too
early. Would you respect yourself and
win the respect of others? Then don't
shrink away from the trials and tempta-
tions, but encounter them, smite them
down, lay them in the dust at your feet.
A man who has conquered his enemy, is
immeasurably greater than the poltroon
who creeps away in abject terror. High
or low, rich or poor, we are all soldiers
in the action that terminates only with
the sunset Of lifes day; and the weak
hearted trembler that shrinks back and
ouakes at the sound of the trumpet, is
yet far in the rear when the light of vic
tory shines on the crest of the warrior
who pressed ON and fought his way
through. 4 temptation overcome is
better discipline than twenty avoided
No man knows his strength until 1t has
been tried and proven, and the noblest
natures have passed often through the
fires of trial.

A horse having been turned into a
field by its owner, Mr.. Joseph Lane, of
Fascombe, in the parish of Ashelwoth,
was missed therefrom the next morning,
and the usual inquiries set afoot, as to
what could have become Of him. He
had, it seems, been shod Gall fours,) a
few days before, and as usual, got
pinched in foot. Feeling, no doubt,
a lively sense Of proper shoeing, and de-
sirous of relieving the cause of the pain,
he contrived to unhang the gate of his
pasture with his mouth and make the
best of his way to the smithy, a distance
Of mile and half from Fascombe,
waiting respectfully at the door till the
bungling artist got up. The smith re-
lates that he found him there at opening
his shed, that the horse advanced to the
forge, and held up his ailing foot, and
that he himself upon exa mination, dis
covered the injury, took off the shoe and
replaced it more carefully, which having
been done, the sagacious creature set off
at merry pace homeward. Soon after,
Mr.. Lanes servant passed. by the forge
in quest Of the animal, and upon inquiry
received for answer-'sOh, he has been
here and got shed, and has gone home
again. Polo AdUcrtiser.

Death from Toothache.

Mr.. Levi Cain, a wealthy gentleman
residing near Harrington, Kent county.
Delaware, died on the 18th ult., from a
disease produced by toothache. The
Wilmington Republican says:
On the 9Th of the month he COM
planned of toothache, but considered it
nothing more than an ordinary attack of
that unpleasant af1iction. 1t grew more
serious, however, and progressed from
bad to worse, until he was forced to take
to his bed, and after the lapse Of several
days, erysipelas made its appearance
about his face and throat, superinduced
by the pain and irritation of his teeth:
The disease spread over his body, and
of everything that could be done for
him, Terminated the patients existence
on the day aboFe named, in twelve days
from the time he was first affected.

Therese Figneur, aged 81 years, re-
Gently died in Paris, having long been
an object of interest for her singular
military career. "Spirridon," cores
pondent of the Boston Traveller, says:
She lived at the hospital des Manages
on pension Of $40 per annum, given
her the 10th of September, 1900, and
the present government gave her a
small additional pension. Therese
Figneur was an old dragoon of the 18th
and other regiments, and from 1898 to
1872 she had taken her share in all the
campaigns of the Republic and the en-
pire. When the Committees of Public
Safety decreed that henceforward no
woman should serve in the army, the
field officers of the army of the Eastern
Pyrenees petitioned that an exception
might be made in favor of La Cheyenne
Therese Figneur, and the petition was
granted in the most fattering manner.
She commenced her military career in
1898 against the English, at the seice
Of Toulon. Here she became acquainted
with Commander Bonaparte, who put
her under arrest one day for delay of
20 minutes in the execution of an order.
Some years afterward, when the ex-com-
mandant Of artillery was First Consul,
he expressed wish to see the dragoon
of Sans Gere. Demon, of Egyptian and
antiquarian fame, carried her to St.
Cloud, where she was presented to Ma
dame Josephine Bonaparte and Made
moiselle Hortense Beauharnois, (mother
of Louis Napoleon) The First Consul
said, "Mlle. Figneur is brave soldier" :"
and insisted upon her taking a drink
and touching glasses with him. Years
afterwards the poor old woman used to
say: "When these recolleetions come
to my mind, my blood boils in my veins.
l feel six feet high; and then 1 ask my
self if of a truth it was to me, poor
old woman, living in an aims house, that
such thing happened. I ask myself
if it be not all dream [ have come
to think of nothing now but Napoleon,
his fall and his terrible death. feel
my heart contract, and tears flow down
my old and wrinkled face
She was present in the Italian cam
paigns, was attached to the army of the
Eastern Pyrenees, and made several
campaigns in Germany and Spain. She
was made prisoner in July, 1872, by the
guerillas of the Cure Merino, and car
ried to England, where she remained a
prisoner until the peace of 1914. In
the course Of her eventful career she had
four horses .killed under her, and had
received many wounds, one at the siege
Of Toulon and four at the battle of Sa-
vigliano.

Keep Your own Family Record

"The Post Office in our village, -
writes a Vermont lady, ''was kept in
the bar-room of tavern, great resort
for loungers. An old chap, more re-
markable for his coarseness and infdel-
ity than good manners, was sitting
there one day with lot of boon com
panions, when the Methodist preacher,
a new conner, entered and asked for his
letters.
Old Swipes, bluntly: care you the
Methodist parson just come here to
preach?"
Il am" pleasantly replied the Minis
ter:
"Well," said swipea, will you tell me
how old the devil is?''
Keep your own family record, y
quickly replied the preacher, and left
the room amidst the roar of the com
pany.
