Here is another prophecy. An old Latin inscription has been found in one of the villiage ohurches near the Belgian and Prussian frontier bearing the following carious, inscription :-—" When St. Mark will present the Pascal Lamb, when St. Anthony will be present at the feast

of Penticost, and St. John adore Christ

at ' Fete-Dieu,' the world will be full of and tears." These chronological predictions answer exactly to the almanac of the year 1886. At that period St. Mark's Day (25th April) falls on Easter, St. Anthony's (14th June) on Penticost day, and St. John's (24th June) when the Fete* ieu is celebrated. The well known astrologer— Nostradamus —also predicted that 1886 would be the worst . year of the century.

Contentment.—As for a little more money and a little more time, why its ten to one if either one or the other would make you a whit happier. If you had more time, it would be sure to hang heavily. It is the working man is the happy man. Man was made to be active, and he is never so happy as when he is so. It is the idle man is the miserable man. And, as for money, don't you remember the old saying, " Enough is as good as a feast ?" Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. It satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man ; rely upon it— " Setter is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble therewith."

The word love in the Indian dialect is cbemelendamoughkauagogager. This ac counts for the fact that the Indians never have but one sweetheart at a time. You couldn't expect a man to attend to two chemelendamoughkauagogager affairs at once.

A wife is handy about the house. She'll take a great inteiest in you. If you go out at night, she'll be awake when you get home, and she'll tell you all about yourself and more too. Of course she'll know where you have been, and what kept you out so late, and will tell you. Yet right after she has told you she will ask you where you have been and what kept you out so late. And after you tell her she won't believe you, you mustn't mind that; and if, after going to bed, she says she hasn't closed her eyes the whole night, and then keeps up the matinee for two hours longer, and won't go to sleep when she has. the chance, you mustn't mind that either; it's her nature. You'll become accustomed to ber little ways in time. " I have come to kill you," said a man entering an. Arkansas newspaper office, drawing a pistol and confronting the editor. "You published an article derogatory to my character, and it is my duty as a husband and father to kill you." "I am glad of it," the poor editor replied' '.'I was just thinking of committing suicide." "Well, if that's the case, let's go down and take something.'' "Now you move me to emotion ;" and the two deadly enemies went out together. And yet some people are in favour of prohibition.
