A Remarkable Prophecy.

We find the following in an English
periodical Northumberland to
the reproduction of everything that is
old in English literature-not with re-
spcct to its merit, but because it is old.
We have no doubt that the prophecy in
question is genuine, and was made, as
The Bookworm states, in 1883, and re-
published in l641 This being the case,
we must concedc that all the prophecies
have been fulfilled except the last one.
People who are not in a hurry to quit
this world will, if they choose to wait,
be able to Judge whether the world will
"ccase and determine" in tho coming

MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY.
Carriages without horses shall go,
A nd accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shabby
Ia the twinlSling OF an eye.
Waters 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 or ass he at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found, and found,
In a land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit a jew
1aita
In eighteen hundred and eighty -one.
.TnE SBA.-The largest of all ccmctc-
ries is the sea, and its slumberers sleep
without monuments. All other grave
yards show some symbol of distinction
between the great and the small, the rich
and the poor but in the ocean cemetery
the king and the clown, the prince and
the peasant, are alike undistinguishcd =
The same waves roll over all; the same
requiem by the MINISTRIES of the ocean is
sung to their honor. Over their remains
the same storm beats, and the same sun
shines and there, unmarked, the weak
and the powerful. the plumed and the
unhonored, will sleep on, until awaked
by the same trump, when tho sea shall
give up its countless hosts of tho dead OF
myriad generations.

SmoE-HEELs. The shoe-heel is here
after to be made upon the idea of com
mon sense and common comfort. Paris
makes the move, and Of course the fash
ionable world will follow. The heel
will be low, and made as near as possible
like the natural heel. No more wabbling
and ungraceful movements ease, com
fort, and grace viii characterize the la
dies who will walk in the new shoe. =
Physioogically speaking, the present
shoe-heel is an outrage. The new one is
to be planted fiat on the ground, as ma
ture intended it to be, and the owner Of
it is to walk erect, head up, eyes right,
toes out, in true military and human
fashion. If the Babal tower on the head
and the prepostcrous bulge on the back
could also be done away with the refor-
nation would be complete. But the
sweet things would no longer be cogniza-
bic. They would be mistaken for what
our fathers used TO call women.

for his body proved unavailing. After
it had been in the water some weeks,
however, it was discovered floating on

upon Mr. Smith was dispatched to con
vcy the intelligence to the much afflicted
widow.

The influence of Kisses.

The kiss has been a powerful
agent in the annals of the human
race. There have been kisses like
those of Antony and Cleopatra, of
Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn,
which have shaken an expire or
destroyed Il religion. If we knew
the secret history of courts, we
should probably learn that nations
have been created or erased by the
magic touches of Il woman's lips.
a great POLLEN, therefore, lies be-
fore US. Has this discovery prov
ed an affection or u blessing to
mankind! Probably the latter;
for it has certainly increased the
influence of women and the in
fluence of women is employed
more for good than for i'll. Belov
ed, tender-hearted women, cOmpan-
ions and CONSIDERS of our life! With
a kiss YOU welcomethe infant to the
world; with 4 kiss you bestow on
soft-cheeked youths the raptures of
first love; wit Il kiss you alleviate
the agony of death. And what alas!
are the kisses which men too often
give you in return? Judas kisses,
and fatal, which poison
innocent hearts, and turn to curses
on painted and despairing lips.
Happy are they vino can rem ember
without remorse the kisses of their

REV. DR.. LOVICK PIERCE.

The Methodist Church, South,
seems much concerned about the
failing health of Dr.. Lovick Pierce,
the able and venerable father ofBiSh-
OPP Geo. +. Pierce, one of the most
eloquent and gifted pulpit orators
on the American continent. During
recent attack, serious doubts OF
his longer stay upon earth were en-
tertained, and II general feeling of
sorrow pervadcd the minds and
hearts of that large and influ-
entail body of christians.
Doctor Pierce is truly great and
wonderful man. as extraordinary in
his ienacity of life as he is i'll mental
and spiritual worth and excellence.
He is now in the cighty-nInth year of
his age, and, we believe, in the six
ty-ninth of his ministry, and cam
not, in the natural course Of events,
much longer Iinger upon the shores
of time.
In contemplating his extreme old
age, We can truly say, with the Co
lumbus (Ga.) Saa. that he now
islands, as it were, upon the
western verge of life, where, we i'm
agine, he can inhale the fragrance
of Beulah's flowers, and almost
catch, in imagination. the gladstone
intonations of the heavenly harps.
Hard by the celestial city, he still
sends back his words of earnest
warning and reproof to WOO heav-
onward the great grand children of
his bOyisll friends
