Another great artist, i'm a different de
partment, convinced that his hand was
about to lose its cunning, chose a subject
emblematical of the coming event. His
friends inquired the nature of his coming
design, and Hogarth replied: THE end of
all things" ''In that case" rejoined one
there will be an end of the painter.
What was uttered in jest was answered in
earnest with a solemn look and a heavy
sigh. There WILL" he said, "and the

drawing with unremitting diligence. and
when he had given it the last touch, seized
his palette, broke 1t in pieces and said.

and In October the curious eyes which saw
the manners in the face were closed in the
dust. Our ancestors, who were prone to
look in the air for causes which were to

intimations to various supernatural agen-

A colleague gave him the lie, the coarse
word verified the prophecy, and he expir-

room. There was everything to lament in
the circumstance, but nothing at which to
wonder.
Circumstances which at another time
would excite no mention are accepted for
an omen when health Is falling. The order
for the requiem with Mozart, the dream
with Fletcher, turned the current of their
thoughts to the grave. Foote. prior to his
departure for the continent, stood contem-
plating the picture of a brother author,
and exclaimed, his eyes full of tears,

prise of his friends, a few days proved
the justice of his representation. The
expectation of the event had a share In
producing it, for slight shock completes
the destruction Of PROSTATE energies.
The case of Wolsey was singular. The
morning before he died he asked of Cav
endish the hour, and was answered, "Past
eight" Eight of the clock?' replied
clock-nay nay, it cannot be eight of the
clock, for by eight of the clock you shall
lose your master"
The day he miscalculated the hour
came true. On the following morning, as
the clock struck eight, his troubled spirit
passed from life. Cavendish and the by
ISLANDERS thought he must have had
revelation of the time of his death, and.
from the way In which the fact had taken

relied on astrological prediction, which had
the credit of a revelation in his own

Her Smile
She looked up at me yesterday
And smiled a heavenly smile;
1 took her little hands in mine,
And held them there awhile.
1 said the sweetest words that 1
Could conjure UP, but she
Though smiling sweetly, coyly, stlA
Gave no reply to me.
At last I dropped her little handsI
She ceased to, smile, and them
Half-turning in her tiny crib,
She went to sleep again.
