PUNCH’S 'ALMANACK FOR 1882.

Why, that’s more than can be said of the Army, the Navy, the Church, the Bab,

PUNCH’S VOICE OF THE
STARS.

FOR DECEMBER.

End of the World on the 1st.
If postponed, the following pro-
phecy may be relied upon impli-
citly. A transit of Venus over the
Sun’s disc will take place on
the 6th. To this may be added
the stationary position of Uranus,
the retrogradation of Venus,
Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, the
square of Mars to Uranus, the
opposition of the red planet to
Jupiter, and the solar conjunc-
tion with Venus, Mars and Mer-
cury. As, unhappily, Mercury
will be also in good aspect with the
Moon on the 4th, 10th, 15th, 20th,
and 30th, the signs become
stronger. Taking them altogether,
and remembering that Capricorn
rules India, Greece, parts of Persia,
Mecklenburg and the Orkney
Islands, only one interpretation is
possible. It is so sad, so disas-
trous, so destructive to every-
thing honourable, that it causes
a shudder to think of it. Frankly,

then-But, no, the prophecy

shall be kept for Punch’s Alma-
nack of 1883. So now let every-
one enjoy “ A Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year ! ”
