PROPHECY.

THE prophets affecting are always predicting
that evils are coming to pass; the oil we are
pumping is billed for slumping, and soon we
won't have any gas The prophets are waliing
that coal mines are failing and soon we'll have
nothing to burn; well sit up and shiver from
wishbone to liver, and wish that old times might
return. Our lands are exhausted and husband
RVS frosted and soon we have nothing to eat;
there's not enough leather to make a good
tether and there II be no shoes for feet. The
sheep are not bearing the wool for our wearing,
and we II have no rags for our backs; it no
world for boosters; our hens are all roosters,
our milk COWS won't get down to tacks. The
gods are against US, they've herded and fenced
us preparing to hand US jolt the future 5 alarm
ing, so let us be awning, for anarchy, riot
volt And yet we're so silly we heed not the
chilly and omnous words Of the seers; we re
joking and playing while doing our haying, and
ypping and wagging our ears. The talk OF dis
aster, it seems, cannot master the natural pep of
the soul; we ought to be dropping, but gayly
we re whooping while laying in cordwood and
coal.

II do not doubt that for the men in

position of not having at its Govern

to suggest to Congress a wider step

II do believe, however, that each

Whether these reports should be
made by separate committees from the
two branches OF Congress, each report

many another detail is a matter to

"One thing is most important: thar
