'AN OLD PROPHECY.
These lines were first published in Eng-
land in 1485, before the disoovery of
Amerloa, and before any of the discover•
ies and inventions mentioned therein.
All the events predicted have some to
pass, except that in the last two lines :
Carriages without horses shall go,
And aocidentsflll the world with woo.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse nor ass be at his silo.
Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sloop, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found 'mid stone,
In a land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England shall at last admit e, Jew.
And this world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eightyone.

Some church people enjoy no meeting

He that works always with hie hands,
and never with his brain, will ever be a

The greatest misfortune that ever be-

The craft of a baby is at least on a par

moans of transportation in Germany.
It is a four•wheeler, guided by the touch

with motive power by a benzine engine

says the New York "Sun,” was oomplet•
ed a month ago in a Mannheim fantory,

Berlin. It rolled over the country roads
at the rate of 15 or 16 miles an hour, and
at an expense of half a oent's worth of

time engineer, has ran his cab through
the streets, taken on and let off ourioue
passengers, and made hie way eooroee

can be managed. The cost of the cab is
