4 Remarkable Prophecy.

We find the following in an Eng
lish periodical: 1.-THE BoOkDOrna" de-
voted to the reproduction of every
thing that is old in English literature,
not with respect to its merit, but
because it is old. We have no doubt
that the prophecy in question is genu-
inc, and was made, as the Bookaoorns
states, in 1883, and republished. in
in 1641. This being the case we must
concede that all the prophecies have
been fulfilled except the last one.
People who are not in any hurry to
quit this world will ,,if they choose to
wait, be enabled to judge whether
the world will 'cease and determine"
in the coming Ammo DOmini 1881. 1t

MOTHER sHIProN's PROPaECY.
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall tiy
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse OF ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall he seen,
In white, in black, In green.
Ironin the water shall float
As easy as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found. and found
In q land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at Last admit q Jew.
The world TO an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

How to Overcome Evil.

The evils of the world are not to be
overcome by thinking at them out of
the window of a comfortable and cost
~ mansion, nor by sighing over them
as You feel the feverish throb of the
worlds pulse in your mornings paper,
but by pouring broadside of justice
into every stronghold of oppression,
and laying the healing hand Of charity
upon every wronged and wounded
heart. The velvet-footed sentimen-
talist, who sheds tears over the reports
of crime and wretchedness as he sips
his coffee from gilded china, and then
orders three tickets at the opera, and
drives bargain like plowshare
through widows home, is the devils
own.

The jelly Fish.

So large portion of its bulk consists
OF water that one of no less than thirty
four pounds weight, being left to dry in
the sun for some days, was found to
have lost 90 per cent. of its original
weight. Writing Of the not very at
tractive appearance of these huge jelly
fish, Agassiz observes that "to form an
idea of his true appearance, one must
meet him as he swims along at midday,
rather lazily withal, his huge semi-trans-
parent disk, with its flexible lobed mar
gin, glittering in the sun, and his tenta-
cles floating to distance of many yards
behind him. Encountering one of these
huge jelly fishes, when out in a rowing
boat, we attempted to make a rough
measurement of his dimensions upon
the spot. He was lying quietly near
the surface, and did not seem in the least
disturbed by the proceeding, but allow
ed the oar, eight feet in length, to be
laid across the disk, which proved to be
seven feet in diameter. Backing the
boat slowl y along the line of the tenta-
cles, which were floating at their utmost
extension behind him, we measured
these in the same manner, and found
them to be rather more than fourteen
times, the length of the oar, thus cover
ing space of some hundred and twelve
feet" This huge mass is produced by a
hydrold mearuring not more than half
an inch in length when full grewn.

Neighbor, accept our parting song;
The road is short, the rest is long;
The Lord brought here, the Lord takes hence,
There Is no house of pernanenco.
On bread of mirth and bread OF fears
The pilgrim fed these checkered years;
Now, landlord world, shut to the door,
Thy guest is gone forevermore.
Gone to realm of sweet repose,
His comrades bless him as he goes;
or toll and moil the day was full,
A good sleep now, the night is cool.
Yevlllage BELLS ring, softly ring,
And in the blessed Sabbath bring,
Which from this weary work-day tryst,
Awaits Gods folk through Jesus Christ.
And open wide, thou Gate of Peace,
And let this other journey cease;
Nor grudge narrow couch, dear neighbors,
For slumbers won by lifelong labors.
Beneath these sods, how close ye lie
But many mansion in yon sky,
Even now, beneath the sapphire throne,
Is his prepared through Gods dear Son.
II quickly come" that Saviour cries;
Yea, quickly come, this churchyard sighs:
Come, Jesus, come, we wait for Thee
Thine now and ever let us be.

at times was full of mischief, and
tricks that were vain, as the follow

and wishing to dispense the throng,

he adopted the following expedient
to carry out his purpose: He franti =.
cally picked up coso-heet flint and
began vigorously to strike it with his
knife over an open key of powder.
This strange conduct caused a panic
in the crowd, and there was stimuli
taneous rush for the door, aud every
one expected a terrible explosion.
The trick was almost complete
success, for the room was cleared OF
all but two-the seeming madnaara
was one of those, and our friend
Col. b. was the other. The former
continued to strike, and the latter
stood by his side calmly awaiting
the result. Morley struck OH, and
looked at the Col. and the Col. look
ed at him. Finally, the Col. with
knowing wink, exclaimed, ''strik'

CHEROKEE COUNTY.

We are indebted to the Carters-
vile Express and Standard for the
following sketch: Canton was set
tied, suppose, about forty years ago,
and as it was the intention of some
of the first settlers to engage in silk
raising, the village was named for
Canton, China, the great silk market,
on that account. Quite a number
of trees called MoyuSmalticauEis were
planted about town for the purpose
indicated, but if those people ever
manufactured silk in any considera-
able quantity, we were never aware
of the fact. We presume, however,
that some enterprising yankee made
a fortune by selling the trees men
toned, all over the country, and
then returned home to enjoy the
fruits of the deception. That was
humbug No. / and they have been
mnltitariouS since that time. In
those days Howell Cobb (since dis
tinguished as Howell Cobb of Hous-
TONI published a paper called, we
believe, "The Cherokee Advocate, F"
at Canton. We saw, some years
ago, while on visit to South Caro-
lima, aspecimen of that pioneer sheet.
1t was filled with news about the
Indians, and presented an ancient
appearance. Among those who first
settled at and around Canton, were
the Daniels, the Worleys, William
Grisham, Robert Hawkins, George
Brock, VIM. Broadwell, Daniel IL.
Bird, the Copelands, Jno. ?. Brooke,
Joseph Donaldson, the Maddoxes,
George Hoyle, Solomon Fuller, JOS.
Knox and others whom we do not
now remember. The courts of the
county were first held in very COM
mon log cabin. The academy was
also quite an humble building and
about the first teacher was our old
friend Joseph Knox, who is still q
residence of the county, and engages
occasionally in teaching the young
idea how to shoot" in these lattel
days. Many of the first inhabitants
of Canton have passed away, bui
several are still living. Among the
original settlers none however are to
be found in the village now except
Donaldson, Grisham, Fuller, K. F.
and Edward Daniel. VIM. WOrley
was a mail contractor in these prime,
val times, and also hotel keeper. Ty'
re Boon also kept public house il

Convention cali stood on four cor

bright and shining stone it was, was

new national policy. What has
this Free trade Convention done !

the tariff question, and deem it best
not to NEEDLE with it And yet
this was the very cry which reused

BE TRUE TO YOUR CONVICTIONS

BE TRUE 40 xOOh GON VLS44S&sS'
No man has any right to expect
or even ask for a clearer light on
his path when he is not walking by
the light which he has.
Thousand of Christians are at
stand in their Christian life because
they do not live according to the
light which they have. They habit
ually disregard clear convictions of
duty, either allowing themselves in
some habit or feeling, which cen.
science condemns, or neglecting
some duty to which conscience calls
them. The ship may float in deep
water, yet not advance, even though
the wind and tide favor, of its an
Choir be cast. The one little sinful
habit allowed, may hinder child of
God and stop all progress, while If
he would be true to his own convic-
tions, he would speed onward to the
haven of his desires.
A person who has no convictions
to guide aud steady him is a mere
floating hulk, driven by every wind,
drifted by.every current.
BE not such one. BE true 10

HINTS TO YOUNG MEN.

These words of wisdom are from
paper in the last number of Lion
don Society:
''After all, in looking out for
wife, man must consider how she
will show at the fireside, rather than
at parties. You can learn go much
of literary and aesthetic tastes. the
favorite books that are always in
hand, the music that is regularly
studied and sung, the kind of associa-
tons, and the general order of tastes.
1t is by far the bsst way of getting
up Irritation, which is not un-
pleasantly done under parental eyes,
when such eyes are kindly and be-
nignant. making is an un-
common pleasant employment for
the winter nights. You may talk of
the periIs Of young men when they
come up to town; but there is no
better safe guard than giving such
young fellows the associations of
home and sweet women. Parents
make an immsnse mistake in taking
too severely monetary a view OF q
young fellows prospects. ] never
knew young fellow under ever 50

and ability, could not work out his
way into the sunlight. Better even
the long engagement, or the early
marriage, than many other supposi-
tions that might be put"
