'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. e S bleltl' 1uebtOR•S• The short road to wealth is seldom safe to travel. A "gold brick" deal always has a rascal on both sides. Not every man has the strength to lift a farm mortgage. Reciprocate the milk of kine with the milk of human kindness. A cement floor in your poultry house will prove a good investment. Some farmers are bard run because their wives have forgotten how to patch. Ob, for some kind of felt boot to put on men's hearts to keep them from freezing! Some church people enjoy no meeting so poorly as meeting the payment of as debt. He that works always with hie hands, and never with his brain, will ever be a poor man. The greatest misfortune that ever be- falls some men is the receipt of a govern- ment pension. A look into the swill pail will often re• veal the reason why some mortgagee are foreclosed. The man who never speaks gently to his horses is the same man who never speaks kindly to his wife, or to his child• ren. gables as They Are. The craft of a baby is at least on a par with its cruelty. Give way ever so little to a young hopeful in long olothee, and for every inch given it will exact an ell. Walls around with one for ten minutes in the middle of the night, "just to quiet the poor little thing„' and in a week you will be in good training to walk a thous- and hours. Trot one twice or thrice on your knee, and the simulating pony will thereafter be in request during the day, until at last, between the equestrian ex - anise by daylight, and the pedestrain feats by gaslight, you will be fib for the position of high private in a marching regiment of either infantry or dragoons. Cunning as malicious as cunning, there is nothing so gratifying to your baby as to travel at other peoples expense, and no full-grown Jeremy Diddler ever practiced the art more successfully. There is but one way of escaping the infliction and that way is never to begin. It were one• ler to shake off ten Old lien of the Sea than one infant that nae acquired a taste for midnight excursions and diurnal trots. Babies are the most presistent young lookeys that ever rude a free horse to death. Perth County. J. T. Norris, 'Ribbon, has graduated in arts at Queen's University, Kingston. The greater part of the fall wheat in Downie and Fullarton looks well but an occasional ragged field is met with. Rev. A.. D.

Mies Frank, who has had charge of the lower department of the Mitchell Public School, has placed her resignation in the halide of the Trnetees, to accept a similar situation in Stratford.

After some hesitation the man from the rural die. triobo replied that having heard so =oh about the loosening qualities of pool nil, he had held a quantity In hie mouth 105 some time previous, in order to maks ex. traction less painful, The oil did nob have the desired offeet, however, for the dentist says it was one of the. hardest molars he ever pulled.

It is a four•wheeler, guided by the touch of the finger on a lover, and provided with motive power by a benzine engine which neither heats or smokes the aeon - pante. The first of this style of cab, says the New York "Sun,” was oomplet• ed a month ago in a Mannheim fantory, and was started on an exhibition trip to 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 benzine per mile. In every oily on hie route the conductor, who is at the acme time engineer, has ran his cab through the streets, taken on and let off ourioue passengers, and made hie way eooroee orowded market places to ehoty the ease and safety with which the machinery can be managed. The cost of the cab is 61,000, and this can be reduced in pro - me of wholesale manufacture to 0450 or $500, The inventor expecte that it will revolutionize the present system of tran- eportationbetween oonotry towns and be. tween cities and their suburbs, About 40,1100 tramps, 16 le estimated' are travelling over Germany all the year arpund, laight Canadian vessels are being load, ed at Toledo with corn .for direct ship.

It is believed that snob at plow would prove eepeoially eucesssfnl in Java, where the cattle plague has de • strayed the draught animals, and large treats of fertile lands are being permitted to lie unonitivated in consequence. In Upper Tonkin material foe ooflin boards, of which many are exported, is obtained from tree mines instead of from ordinary living forests. The trees are a Itind of pine, very pitchy and very dur- able, and they are found buried in a san- dy eon ata depth of seven to twonby.five feet. The trunks, some of them more than throe feet in diameter, are iu good preservation. Seem ovldenoe as can bo found indicate that the trees grew in a large forest, and were buried at no very retnole limo by an earthquake or other similar catastrophe.

A Boston singer sends out to her buei• nese correspondents a number of phono- graph cylinders impreseed with her eongs so that they may hear a sample of her work before closing an engagement. This is unique and practical. Before long every manager of lectures, humor - fats, vocalists and instrumental soloists of every description will be compelled to provide himself with phonographic spec- imens of his attraction's ability before he can hope to procure engagement for them The promoters of entertainments of various sorts, the century Bays, will be able to judge for themselves as to what they ought to get for their money, and disappointments will be fewer. A triumph in engineering is reported from the mountains of Peru, where a twin screw steamer of 540 tons, 170 feet long and 30 feet wide, has been success. fully launched on Lake Titacaoa, the highest navigable waters in the world, more than 13,000 feet above the level of the sea. The steamer, whioh belongs to the Peruvian Government, and is used for freight and passenger traffics was built on the Clyde, then taken apart in more than a thousand pieces and shipped to Mallen - do by Bea. It was oarried to Puno by railway and transported over the mount- aine on the backs of llamas and mules and put together by John Wilson, a Scotch engineer, with great Skill and suc- cess. The following resolution was lately passed in all solemnity by the Concordia, Kansas, School Board :—"Inasmuch as it seems to be the custom of lady teach. ere of the public schools of Concordia, Kansas, to contract marriage without the knowledge or consent of each board, therefore be it resolved by said board of education, that should any of the ladies of the Conoordia schools hereafter nom• mit matrimony during the term for which they have been eleoted, they shall forfeit a sum of money equal to one-half a month's salary, provided they take a home man, and a sum egnal to one month's salary in ease the groom ie im• ported from some other oonntry or state.

Crossley against the Grand Trunk Railway for $2,000 for il• legally putting him off the train came up for trial in Barrie last Tuesday. Mr. Crossley, who was 'coming from Barrie to King in January last, showed Conduotor Waterhouse his ticket and naked him to punch it, but refused to give it up. Con- ductor Waterhouse would not punoh the ticket unless it was given up. The dis- pute culminated in Mr. Crossley being put off the train a short distance south of Allendale. Mr. Crossley brought suit against the company for $2,000. The case wars called, the jury sworn and then the solicitor for bhe railway offered to settle, the conditions of settlement being an ample apology by the railway to Mr. Crossley in open court, and censuring Conduotor Waterhouse, and a judgment to bo entered against them for all coats. Mr. Crossley aocepted these terms, at the same time stating it was not money be was after, but n vindication of his rights and of the travelling public. Grand.
