Junior Class Prophecy. I S wave chases wave to the sliore. so does the tide of time carry year — 4 afer vear into tlie ocean of eternity. After a lapse of five years. ' ■ accident led my footsteps back to my Ahiia Mater, to look once more on its time-battered walks. By a strange fate, others of the merry band who together commenced life ' s long and weary pilgrimage, had assembled to witness scenes that were of such vital interest to tis. Dear reader, imagine, if yon can. the unspeakable happiness of that reunion. There are seasons in this world civer whose unclouded happiness there falls no shadow from the earth, when the heart goes up in gratitude to God. and the mind is surrendered to the intense enjoyment of the present. Such were the feelings that surged the breasts of those reunited. It was in the gray twilight of a May evening, when a few members of the Old Class who had parted five long years ago. met again within the walls of Dear Old Peace. and then in the quiet gloaming I learned the fates of the twenty-three, which now I tell to yon. Our gentle Grace, with all the shrinking delicacy of a sensitive heart, had retired from the world and become a member of that beautiful illustra- tion of Christian mercy, known as the Sister of Charity. Her gentle spirit and humble virtues fitted her in all respects for the vocation she had selected, and many wretched sufTerers had cause to bless the young sister who so kindh ' tended at their bed of sickness and instructed them in the consolations of religion. Of the Graces, our happy band boasted two as beautiful as their namesakes. The first, as you have seen, was Charity, and the second — what shall I say of her? — a mi.xture of them all. She was the same light- hearted, happy Grace as in the days of old. and had proved firm against the darts of Cupid, though lovers sighed around her and hung upon the glances from her illustrious eyes : but the days of her coquetrv were not over, and a Conrad she had remained. To fair Elizabeth I now turn my song. You can gather from this little sybilline leaf thrown to the winds of Heaven, her history since last we met. 19
