Then the Angel turned the page and showed a picture inscribed there, And I saw Louie Edmunds, seated in a great arm chair, With a dictionary opened wide before him-and I thought He is writing college essays. Great, long words he's seeking out. Next, the names of jenks and Hooker struck my ear with joyful sound, For Miss Jenks will keep on singing- And the green grass grew all And Adele's chief occupations, as the time so quickly flies, Will be to rock the cradle, sing coon songs and lulabies. ' round The Angel stopped and wiped his eyes- The next, he said, is sad. A boy, named John, a brilliant youth, a fearless, dauntless lad, Will start on his bicycle to visit at the sun And ne'er return to tell how fast he made his century run. In the list of girls who'll marry in the time not far away I recognized the following: Babcock, Keeler, Cummings, Day. The Allen girls will go abroad, this information leave behind- We seek an English fortune, then, a Duke apiece we'll find. I heard the name of Penhollow, of Gibbs and I-Iimeline, As men whose' skill in legal lore would stand the test of time. And a man whose name is Taylor will receive the world's esteem For his skill at I-Iarvard College, managing a baseball team. The Angel stopped and closed his book. The morning light had come. The visitor then vanished. This poetic mood came on. I quickly totok my pencil, wrote it down, as you may see, This glimpse into the Future, as 'twas thus revealed to me. -C. M. I5 D
