Senior Prophecy. I WALKED out on a morning earl)- in May. when Nature was unsealing her fountains of life and beauty. The violet was opening its blue eye and all the early flowers were timidly unfolding their beauties. I sat down on the fallen trunk of a tree under a curtain of biidding grape- vines, and soon fell into a drowsy revery. and from revery inti; sleep: but not sleep of an ordinary kind.

This scene tno was i|nickly hidden, and 1 ilreamed once more. 1 .seemed to hear the name of . lma on every lip. She had becume a missionary, ,g iving np her sweet young life to this great cause in foreign lands, and now her fame seemed stretching from sea to sea. Little w ' e thought as we toiled at I ' eace that the least of our merry band should rise to be the greatest, and my heart overfli.iwed with joy at the success of my old friend and room- mate.
