MOTHER SHIPToS.-Among the events of
the wonderful year 1881, may be recorded the
final exit of Mother Shipton. Although frequent
ly shown to be n foolish hoax, thousands persist
ed in believing that Mother Shipton actually e1-
listed in the far past, and that her prophecy of
the snufing out Of the world in 1881 would be
fulfilled. The numerous phenomena and strange
occurrences of the past year were accepted as
signs that her prediction would come to pass.
But the year 1881 has gone, and the world wags
on as before. The predictions cannot be made
to iit any other year, and Mother Shipton quietly
takes her place with the humbugs of the past.

Then, whst wonderful faith the average schoo.-
boy had in f:ie magical virtues of saliva. If n
player was about to shoot at another's marble
the latter would command him to knuckle down,
and then spit on the ground on direct line be-
tween the two marbles, and rest in full fifth
that his marble would remain untouched. Or. if
a marble became lost among the neighbori,g q
grass or rubbish, the owner would spit in the
palm Of his leff hand, and repeat these words,
possessed of powerful influence, however limp
in rhyme or measure:
Spit spat spot
Tell me where that marble Ia .
UT u smash you On the spot
Whereupon he would bring the forefnger of his
right hand down upon the puddle, in the conf
dent belief that, whichever way the mass Of it
should fly, in that direction would he found the
lost marble. If the experiment happened to
prove a success, he was forever confirmed in his
belief in that species of magic, and the fifty or
hundred times afterwards that he failed, he
would impute to the omission of necessary lit
tie ct ceteras on his own part He also believed
that splitting on the bait would cause the iish to
bite readily, never taking into account the i'm
material fact, that the moment the bait struck
the water, the charm was dissolved.

HES our O. IAE1A ILl.E
The Story of Bilious Macatobia.

This distinguished parsonage in
ancient history is said to have been
born on the island Of Crete in the
Ohio river, and at the age of four
years was sent down to Syracuse to
study political economy. AT the
age of nine his brain had so rapidly
developed that Samuel j. Tilden,
who was then starting out on an
electioneering tour in Macedonia,
sent for him to come up TO Utica
and calculate the number of times
he would yet have to run to become
President of Greece. Failing
slightly in his estimate he came
neal loosing his head, but Thad-
deus, a Senator, interfered and
seat the young man down to Del
PHI to consult the oracle there.
Being young and rather glib of ton
que, hs 0 made a mash on one
of the novices in the Temple kitch-
en-. This coming to the ears of the
boss c%lairvoyant Of the institution,
the young man had to skip through
a window and over two sets Of gar
den palings and fly for his life. He
next turned up in the mountains of
Numidia as civil engineer and min
ing expert, and was sent, amoug a
lot OF other specimens and curiosi-
ties, to the feast of Dido at Carthage
where he distinguished hiRlself as a
man who carried the wisdom and
the votes of three provinces around
in his vest pocket. Returning he
took an active part in the fall cleo
tons, and was said to have been
very successful in showing the still
hunt dodge while openly protesting
to run things on the high moral
pressure principle. AT one of the
elections, being accused, by a cit
zen, of going back on his friends,
he became ~profusely eruptive and
made the "hy" speech Of his life,
only it wasn't reported in the pa
pers Of that day. He said certain
irresponsible citizens had been try
ing to corrupt his polirlcs-had
been trying to take the wind out of
him, asst were-but if the wind
was all gone he guessed there was
a little thunder left, and by the
shades Of Jack-Jupiter l mean
he would hurl it at 'em. lie was
speaking for the Future. lie would
rather be a congressman from a
newborn State than a whole camp
full Of ornary miners, and he
wasn't going to allow any dod-gars-
ted street corner politician to init
midate him either. lie would call
out the MALTA company to protect
him Unnecessary, and the people
said "Aha aha, look at him strut"
1t is said that he wrote many
volumes during his life time, out
they were all burned at the taking
Of Syracuse, except one which has
come down to us entitled GLOW !
Made Myself Conspicuous"
He died in a fit of excessive Joy,
while l~isteningto the returns which
announced his election to the office
of councilman in his own town.
His career should be closely studied
by some of the fresh young men of
the present day.
