ABOUT VISIONS AND DREAMS.
She asked if 1 had ever heard Of the
prophecy uttered by a gentle friend. all
of which has cone true except the very
last prediction. This, my Lady Disdain
believes is only question Of time, be-
cause of the internal dissensions which
she feels are leading TO it. Later in the
day she showed me the curious old man
uscript, and kindly gave me a copy of

said how she remembered how her grand
mother, another gentle Quaker, went out

The south is full of them: but they will
never be carried to the bric-a-brac shops,
