The End OF the WOrld-Wc
Shall Wind Up i'm August, 1872.

The end of the world il now set for
next summer, 7sste Daria Cam Sybi1la,
or rathar DIR. Cummings and Prof.
Plantamour. For while the prophetic
doctors latest calculation places the
final confagration at about this time,
the great astronomer of Geneva relates
the discovery of comet of wonderful
and unusual size, that is rushing with
immense velocity toward our earth,
to reach it on the 10Th of August.
Prof. Plantamour has found this comet
afar of in space, pointed 30 directly
towards eur globe that nothing can
prevent a collision except the inter
vention of some other heavenly body
to sway the wandercr out of its course.
1t is new comet, and therefore more
to be dreaded than the old friends of
the same sort, which have been picked
to pieces by the spectroscope, pierced
by the telescope, and in one or two
instances, even robbed of its luxuriaut
tails. We know these to be the
harmless bodies, while of the giant Of
Pro. Plantamour we know nothing.
But there is consolation in the thought
that before the collision actually takes
place our wise men will have ample
opportunity to disscct the hostile com.
ct and inform us whether our fate is
to be incrcmatcd with burning gas,
stoned to death with meteorites, or
simply to add an other satellite to our
train.

During one of the wars in India,
many Frcncbmen had an opportunity
Of observing one of the elephants
that had received flesh wound from
cannon ball. After having been
twice or thrice conducted to the hos
pital, where he extended himself to be
dressed, he afterward went alone.
The surgeon did whatever he thought
necessary applying even fire to the
wound, and though the pain made the
animal often utter the most plaintive
grosns, he never expressed any other
token than that of gratitude to this
person who, by momcntary torments
endeavored to relieve him and in the
end effected his cure.

A few days of continued anxiety,
and then all was again cheerfulness
and sunshine with the Markhams.-
Little Julia was rapidly recovering,
and Robbie showed no symptoms of
having taken the disease. Good help
was in the kitchen, and the doctors
carriage was no longer seen standing
at the door.
Mrs. Lawson continued her friendly
visits, and being soon on familiar
terms, told them one day Of the hand
some sum which had been contributed
toward rebuilding their barn,
"The friends who first got up the
subscription thought they should be

"Mrs. Lawson glanced at Mr..
Markham, as she said this, and per-
haps she had her suspicious as to
where the gift came from.
The gentleman said nothing; but,
as she went on talking with his wife
on other subjects, he thought over the
events of the last two weeks, and came
to the conclusion that the lesson he had
learned from Mrs. Lawson was far
more valuable than anything that
money could bestow and in his heart
he resolved that the better motto of
"help one another" should in the flu
turc, take the place of his old one,
"take care of number one."
