istering iustice to those who demand justice, and battling for mercy for those Who are condemned. Be thou careful lest thou stumble through prejudice. 31 Behold! Sara Bice, destined to live in Union county with her beloved red-haired farmer, who, notwithstanding the multitudinous freckles on his smiling countenance, becomes more dear to her day by day. Tl1ou art, Sara, with thy dainty little hands, to keep the house and prepare his meals, while he shall guide the mule in the cotton furrows of thy humble farm. 32 Clara Gilmore and Lenora Spieis, come ye forward and hear your mighty dutv for the future. Go ye into the backwoods, to the village of Styx and carry with you your physics books, that you may introduce the study to students that they may be better prepared for college. Likewise, Anna Morgan'Davis, go thou with them. 33 Bessie Flynn, thine eyes have often puzzled me. The Spirit now reveals to me the reason of their brightness, thy future is at the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Thou wilt many times have to enter the cages of wild beasts Whilst thou holdest them at bay with those piercing orbs. Likewise, thou art to go with her, Cora Mae DuBose, for how could fate separate two such friends? Nay, nay, thou wilt say, but thou goest, too, and dressed in many colors, thou shalt cause wonder through thy successful charming of snakes. 3+ Listen ye every one! to the sweet strains of the orchestra under the skillful direction of Marie Zimmerman. 35 Next I prophesy for Providence Graham. She shall be Wide awake. Ten years hence I see her handsomely-dressed figure leading the Paris world of fashions. 36 A school of which thou art to be the principal, Kate Braddy, is to be founded at Preston, and, thou, Ethel Simmons, art to be the Latin teacher-but, lo! a. dark spot appears before mine eyes. I interpret it thus: Your career as school marm ends before the term expires. Ye shall grow weary of the long-wished for vocation and seek rest. ' E - 37 Two sprightly creatures, Mattie Dora Andrews and Sarah Merchant, rush in where ye fear to tread. ' v ' 38 Ruth Bedmon, retirement is always to be thy wish. Thou art to be a nun and keep thyself in a convent to train young girls. Their love for thee shall be thy happiness. - ' 39 Bettie Gibson and Kate Murchison, your lives are to be closely woven together. Thou art destined to be a great satirist, Bettie, and thou, Kate, art to be the cartoonist for thy satirical friend. 40 A light, airy form with floating robes, whirls upon a bright spot of vision.- Margaret Cox, thine shall be a future of wealth. Thou shalt bring to view again the mythological dances, and thy grace and beauty shall win the admiration of manv. I 41 Woe be unto thee! Days will come, Gertrude Davis, when thou shalt desire again the multitudes of thy rejected and heartbroken lovers, and as a rebuke upon thee, the characteristics of an old maid shall slowly replace those of youth. 42 Halrkl ls a drum to be a part of thy future, Rebecca Nichols? Lo, I behold thee in the uniform of the Salvation Army, slowly treading the streets with 52
