 Each one of the pupils acquitted themselves in pleasing manner and we were particularly pleased with the "Frog Hollow Lyceum," the several af D hoi An ,lv.,r ,,f | reality by the talented boys aud girls of the school, and we were specially impressed by an original paper by Miss Maggie Christian, entitled "A PrOph- esy." It was so good. and delivered in such an easy. graceful manner, we be- lieved 1t would interest all of our read CTS, and append it hereto.
 PRoPHEsY.
 cannot claim to be, like most for tune tellers, the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter, neither am even in the most remote manner, re- lated to that mysterious people cOm- monly known as Gypsies. Yet, not withstanding both these unprOpitiOus circumstances, 1 have been endowed with the faculty which enables me to foretell the future of number of my schoolmates-those with whom 1 am intimately associated. some of whom, but not al,, are nay classmates.
 We begin with Miss Lou MOhler. With her dark, dreamy eyes, thought full face, and gentle manners, it is easy to foretell that she will become d nun. With her it will be TO great self sacri- flee to renounce the pomps and yani- ties of the world; to be slrorn of her glossy black hair, doR the black veil, become the bride of heaven, and de- vete her life to comforting and helping the distressed, the pOtH and the needy, and to all other good works. She will be sister Agatha in Baltimore con vent, and her coming will be hailed with delight by many a poor sufferer in hospitals and other places where she will go to minister to their wants.
 Willie Warr, we predict, will become great singer-nOt so renowned, per- haps, as Jenny Lind, Madam Nilsson or Adelina Patti; yet one who will thrill and charm all who are so fortunate as to hear her. Of course she must first study under the best masters, who will give her voice the cultivation of which it is so susceptible, and train it in all the latest methods. She must go to Italy, the land of music and song. and how proud we shall all be of our Willie when she returns Prima Donna.
 Fora Mohler will be florist. She will become famous for the choice flow CTS sue grows, of many varieties but will give special attention to sweet Williams; under her watchful care they will thrive and bloom as sweet Williams never did before, and will be the admi- ration of every beholder. She at one tine undertook the cultivation of Cotfey. but finding after many fruitless esforts. that. it would not amount to anything in this climate, she hnai- lygave it up.
 Will Holwell and Charley Martin are politicians, and the last l heard or them they were rival candidates for the legislature. AS the ladies ate vot- ing by this time. the two aspiTants for office were flatte1ing these once down trodden but now uplifted and lmpOr- tant personages in the political arena; were button holing them, as 1t were; Will pledging the married ladies to push through a bill, imposing d fine nnon every man who was caught out after 10 o'clock, lodge or nO lodge. Charley promising the unmarried ones to get up a bill compelling every Oid hatchelor to shave on one side only, Tn order that they might be recognized at sight and stunned as one would mad dog. Will promises his male constltu- ents. if they would elect him, that every slashin St. Francis colmtv should he drained, while Charley promises his sunnortprs if they would stand By him he would have bridge Dulit aIl the way from Palestine to Forrest City that the people might pass over dry. sbod.
