THE following prophecy, which il
said to have been written in 1455-more
than 400 years ago-went the rounds
of the papers during the Crimean War,
and has now reappeared:
In twice two hundred years the Bear
The Crescent shall assail; ~
But il the Cock and Bull unite
The Bear shall not prevail. Awgff
= But looki In twice ten years again.
Let Islam know and fear
The Cross shall wax. the Crescent wane,
Grow pale; and disappear.

WHILE at Omaha yesterday evening
we noticed little four-year-old girl,
with her mother, was awaiting the ar
rival of papa on the incoming western
train. Noticing the shrieking Of loco
motives, with their flashing headlights,
the rnmbling Of trains, and the general
diabolical appearance Of the place, she
nestled to her mothers side, and in
quired, in an awe-struck whisper, Ma,
is this help" Was that one Of the babes
to whom wisdom was givenp-C Cotssscss;

The Old Year and the New.

The new year is nearly here. A new
book Of 365 pages is open before US, each
page as white and stainless as the mantle OF
snow that covers the earth with its pure
white spread.
The old year is nearly ended aud, as
we looking through the glass Of memory,
read page alter page Of the volume just
completed, we sigh at the recollection of the
many, many blots that mar the beauty Of
the volume we had resolved one year ago to
keep clear from bemish. Looking back
ward, we see bright hopes that are now
buried deep out of sight, and are now, almost
forgotten 10 the realities OF the present, or the
expectations for the future. We see, aud
mingle with loved ones who are now sep
arated from US by absence or death. We
live over, in imagination, bright hours spent
IN the society of loved ones now distant from
the friends, scenes and associations Of years !;
aud review the meetings and partiDgs with
dear ones whom may never again meet this
side Of the portals of the tomb
We think with heart filed with pain, of
ties that one year ago seemed bright aud
strong, and are now severed, leaving only
sad sweet memory. We see hopes aud
fears, smiles and tears, joys and SORROWS,
sunshine add shadow, all, in one unbroken
possession.
Oh what could induce us TO relinquish
the memory Of the past 2 To forget the
many lessons lessons, which were very
many of them dearly bought to lose sight
Of the Joys that Gao never return Even the
trials that we have undergone. we would not
forget they seem to hallow even the
most trivial events. And the now year
1t is oil open before us, aud az we gaze at
the unturned pages, We think with an earn
est prayer to God for guidauce) Of the res
possibility resting on each Of u.s. No one
can do our life work for us. We alone
must with the help Of Our Father, live for
ourselves, and be responsible to our God for
every act of eur lives. And we must re-
member that we are responsible for the ex
ample set to those about us, aud it is only
by striving, day-by-day that We can, at the
end of the year now before us, look back
and say, have done what could.
