Mother Shipton.

With thanks TO the sender, we print
below the Shipton prophecy asked foI
a day or two ago:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents ill the world with woe
Around the earth thoughts shall hy.
In the twinklinB Of an eye.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at the root of d
tree.
Through Hills men shall ride.
And no horse be at their side.
Under water men shall walk
Shall ride. shall sleep. shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black. in green.
Iron III the water shall nont,
AS easily as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown,
IN n land that Is not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
Eng gland at last shall admit Jew.
The world to an end shall como
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
