$780, The strange realization of a WIS.,
ion that came to the author when
young girl in school is powerfully and
dramatically set forth in this volume,
The story is told in letters written by
Mrs De Kroyft from time to time to
her friends, and gives detailed de-
cription of the various stages Of her life
that were so accurately predicted in the
remarka BILE vision that appeared to hef.
This included her marriage, the death
of her husband, the affection OF blind
ness, her struggle for livelihood from
the sale of book, and finally, the
slow return of her eyesight. 1t Is with
her trips through the United States,
beginning when Taylor was president
that the letters most concern them
selves and the material here collected
possesses keen interest for every Amer
lean. Her meetings with the great
men Of that day who exhibited toward
her the most generous compassion, are
wildly described The president ana
Henry Clay were the two first names
she secured for a subscription to her
book and the courtly chivalry OF those
days as pictured in the book contrasts
strangely with the curtness or the
present The book is in all respects
fascinating one, the more so for tine
earnest religious feeling that finds ex-
preston in the constancy OF her faltn
that God will lift the veil of darkness
in the end. For sale by T. H. Pease q
