An Old Prophecy.

Somebody has unearthed an old prophecy
for the year 1886 Of decidedly uncomforta-
BILE nature. 1t appears that in the church of
Oberremel near the city Treveri, in Germany,
there is stone tablet some centuries DID, on
which is cut the prophetic verse, in prose 1t
may be rendered: when Mark shall bring
us Easter, and Anthony shall sing praises at
Pentecost, and John shall swing the censor
at the feast of Corpus Domini, then shall the
whole earth resound with weepngs and wall
ings." Now it happens that next year Easter
falls on st. Marks day, Pentecost on that of
st. Anthony of Padua, and the Corpus Domni
comes on st. John the Baptist's Day, June
Gath. Here then, are the first conditions of
the prophecy fulfilled, so that now believers
in prophecies and anxious minded persons
generally have only to sit down and think of
everything disagreeable that can possibly
happen to this poor old planet and the dwell
ers thereon between January and December,
1886. And really if the cyclones, and earth
quakes, and epidemics, and "wars and ru.
mors of wars" of the years 1Ss2-S-4-5 are to
be eclipsed, the prospect is not an agreeable

young man sauntered carelessly out on land.

Tom Brown was always in fret
Because, somehow, he kept in debt.
Yet he imagined he was wise
And knew how to economize.
He earned enough to live with pride
And lay little up beside
Although he nothing spent for sport,
He borrowed, and was always short"

Can't manage like woman can,
do try me once and soon you'll be
From horrid debts and worries free"
Tom only laughed. mo woman can
Finances handle like a man."
At length his debts and worries grew
SO big he knew not what to do.
Then he, in time to save his life,
Gave all his earnings to his wife.
Now wife," he groaned, in woe complete,
"See il you can make both ends meet"
Bright years now passed. Tom, freed from care
Waxed fat upon his wife's good fare.
His debts were paid, and laid away
Was something for a rainy day
What had Toms burden been in life
Was pleasure to his careful wife,

In spending is his weakness shown.

An orderly man can make two suits of
