The yearl.Miti will be a very eventful one to every maiden who gets married. Throughout the whole course of the year, wlieiiever the mouu wanes the night will grow dark. If dandies weai their beards, there will he less work for barbers. He who wears bis moustache will have something to sneeze at. Whoever is in love this year will think his mistress an augel. Whoever gots mairied willtiud out whether it is tiue. lie that loses bin hair this year will grow bald. lie that loses his wife will become a widower. If a young !ady should happen to blush she will look red in the face. If she dreams of a young man three nights in succession, it is a sign of something. If she dreams of him four times, or has a toothache, it is ten to one that she is a longtime getting eithei of them out of her head. If anybody jumps overboard without knowing how to swim, it is two to oue he gets drowned. If any one lends an umbrella, it is ten to one he is obliged to go home in the ruin for his pains. Whoever runs in dcot this year will be dunned. Many an old sinner will resolve to i turn ovei a new leaf this year, but the new leaf will turn out blank. It is probable that, if there is uo busi dess doing, people will complain of hard rimes, but it is ceitain that those who l ing themselves will escape starving to leath. I le that bites off his nose, or turns politi -ian. will act like u fool, aud this is the most certain ot all. Model Grammar School. "Did yon ever study grammar 1" 'I aid sir."
