Tits following sagacious predictions were made, though marie for another year, will doubtless bo fultilled in 1357 : Through the whole course of tho coming year, whenever the moon wanes the night f will grow dark. Ou several occasions, duting the year, the j aun will rise before certain people discover it, and set before they have finished their day's work. It is quite likely, that when there is no business doing, many will be heard to complain of bard times, but it is equally certain that all who hnng themselves will escape tAt-vnf ton If bustles and boons go out of fashion, a church pew will hold more than three ladies. If dandies wear their beards there will be ! leas work for the barbers, and ho who wears mustachios, will have something to t-ncezo at. Thero will be many eclipses of virtue, some visible, others invisible. Whosoever is in love, will think his mis tress a perfect angel, and will only find out ' the truth of his suspicion by getting mar ricd. Many delicnto ladies, whom no one would suspect, will be kissed without toiling their Mas. Thero will be more books published than will fiud purchaser, moio bills made than will find payers. If the incumbent of a fat office should die, there will be a dozen feet ready to step into one pair of shoes. If a young lady should happen to blush, she will be apt to look red in the face, without the use of paint; if she dreams of a young mail three nights in succession, it will be a .sign of something; if she dreams of him four timea, or Jiave the tooth ache, it is ton to one she will be a long time in getting either of them out ofWr head. Many people will xlrink more strong ii <i :n -??? .~ i i uinu v?m uc uirco^.u > iu hcvjf iiiviii sober, and Uke (tnoiC naedicme liiau will be reoui.-ite to iLe enjoyment of good health. DinDetw itud entertainments will be given to those who have enough at home, Hiid the poor will receive much advice gratis, legal and utodical excepted. The (wblie debts of the repudiating States will haidly be adjusted, and the tonne fate will .very probably attend many private contracts an this latitude. lie who marries this year will run a great risk, especially if he does it in a great hur w* He alio steals a match gives tattlers oc cntftun to gossip, and will be apt to involve himself and pride in disagreeable relations. There will be a great noise ail over the . -country when it thunders, and a tremendous ?. dust will he kicked up occasionally, by conch horses. Many young ladies, who hope for it, but little ex|fcct it, will be married; and many who confidently anticipate that glorious consum mation, will be doomed to wait another year. Finally, there exists little doubt, this will be a "most wonderful" year, surpassing in interest ail that have preceded it. Politicians will make fools of others ; any many women with pretty facet will make fools of both. The world will go round ns usual and come back to the place whenco it set out, as will many a innn who engages in business. There will be great cry and litllo wool, " both at the shearing of pigs and the meeting of Congress. ?- >?sm ??? Iblree Iliiogg. , Three things that never become rusty.?

Thkrr U no fact more clearly established ill the physiology of man than this, that the brain expands ita energies and itself during the hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep ; if the recuperation does not equal the expenditures, the brain withers ; this it instantly. Thus it is, that in enrly Knglish history, persons who were couucmucu 10 ueutn, by being prevented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs: thus it is also that those who are starved to death become insane; tho brain is not nourished and they cannot sleep. The practical inferences aro three. 1. Those who think most, who do most brain wotk, require most sleep. 2. That time "saved" from neeessary sleep is infallibly destructive to mind, body and estate. (iivo yourself, your children, your servant, give ail who are under you the fullest amount of sleep they will take, by compelling them to go to bed at some regular early hour, nnd to lisc in the morning the moment they nwako of themselves, and within a fortnight nature, with almost tho regularity of the lising sun. will unloose the bonds of sleep, the moment euough repose has been secured for the wants of the system. This is the only safe and suflicicnt rule; and as to the question, how much sleep anyone requires, each must bo a rule for himself; great nature will never fail to writo it 10 the observer under tho regulation just given. \Journal of Health.

In setting ont the tree, a hole should ho dag of sufficient del)th fo allow of the tree being' placed a little lower in tho ground than before, and if the soil is of a hard,, clayey nature, tho bottom should bo covered with a layer of limn. Then,after spreading out the fibres carefully,, fill in, accasionally &haking the tree sons to allow the earth to settle wclK about the roots.
