The Nan Who Knows It All.

vi all the tiresone creatures met
Along Life's thorny way,
There's enc, the plague OF eV'ry set,
fact none will gainsay,
Whose voice. whatever is discussed,
The stage or Adams fall,
Into our hapless ears is thrust
The man who knows it all.
He's met whichever way we turn,
His place is everywhere,
And though for peace of home we yearn
Behold, he's also there.
We can't his reach escape, alas
In pailor, street or hall,
So long as shows the looking glass,
The man who knows it ALL

The End of the World to Come This Year.

The End of the World to Come This Year.
From The Louisville Courier-Journqi
NostradamuS was a celebrated
physician and astrologer in France,
who died in 1866, aged 60 years.
His prediction, made in Latin over
800 years ago, was that the end of
the world would come in the year in
which Good Friday came on St.
Georges Day, and Easter occurred
on St. Marks Day and Corpus
Christi came on St. Johns Day, all
of which condolences occur this
year. In regard to the time for the
tulhllment of these great prophecies
no thoughtful observer will say that
the astroleger was very far wrong,
for the signs clearly indicate the be-
ginning of tine end. Within the next
century we may see the downfall of
the old despotisms in Europe, the
desolating wars, the great tribulation,
the rule OF communionism, nihilism
and anarchy, the dissolving OF the
British Empire, the division OF her
landed estates following the conhsca-
ton Of her church property, the fall
of the Turkish power and the resto-
ration of the Jews to Palestine.

REMAINS OF NAPOLEON III.

The removal OF the mortal remains
of Napoleon III. and his son, the
Prince Imperial of France, who was
pltlfully slain in South Africa, forms
a pathetic close to the earthly pill
grimages Of the last Bonapartes to
hold sway over France. What
touching contrast it is between the
tomb of the first Napoleon, in the
greatest of earthly sepulchers under
the eye of the dome of the Invalides,
and the burial place of his successor
and his heir in a remote village
Of foreign land With the in
expressible sorrow of Eugene tie
whole world sympathizes. In the
splendor Of her husbands reign, to
which she was translated from COM
parative obscurity, she was the most
gracious and becoming figure. In
the hour Of unsurpassed disaster her
behavior was brave and prudent, and
in childless widowhood she has re-
mained dutiful dignifed and model
matron, who has retained in privacy
and exile all the friendships she had
won on a throne. When it comes
her turn to be laid with her husband
and son at Farnsborough, the light
of the house of Bonaparte will in
deed have gone out.-N y Star.
