For. one prediction that comes true,
many hundreds fail. of which we 'never
hear. Many a fond mother predicts a pro
fessorship, or judgeship, or bishopric, for
a favorite son, who, nevertheless, slinks
through the world among the crowd of un
known people. For all that; sundry re
markable predictions have, at various times,
been uttered, which have become true, and i
yet nothing miraculous has beenattributed
to them. .
Sylla said to Caesar, when ho patdoned
hint at the earnest entreaty of his friends
—!.you wish his pardon—l consent; but
know that thi young mac, whose life you
so eagerly pl d for, will prove the most
dreadful one yof the party which you and!
t z
I have defended- • There is in Crew,
more than a Marius." The prediction I
was realized. -
Thomas Aquinas was so unusual simile
and reserved in conversation, that his fel
low students 'regarded him as a very medi
ocre person, and ljoculariy called him the
dumb ux of Citily. His •master, Albert,
not knowinghimself what . to thinks took
oceasion one day before a large assemblage
to interrogate him on several very pro
found questions ; to which the disciple re
plied with so penetrating a sagacity, that
Albert turned toward the youths who sur
rounded his chair, and said—" You call
brother Thomas a dunr# ox, but be wiser- i
ed that ono day tlio - noise"of his doctrines I
will be heard all over the world."
.. Erasmus -wrote a composition at twervs
yearn old, which was read : , by a learned
Mend of Regius; and ho was se streck by
its therii, 'that he called the youth• to him,
and said,•scanning.him keenly, ,".My boy.
you will ope day be a great man."
: Sully's father predicted him, when only
twelve years•old, that he would one day'
be great by reason - of liintetrage and his
virtues. - Had not the prophecy come true,
we had never heard of it. But Sully was

Cardinal 3forton, Archbishop of Canter
bury, early predicted the — future greatness
of Sir Thomas More.. Pointing to the
buy one day he said to those about him :
"That youth will one day be the ornament
of England."
Cardinal Wolsey, 'though a b u teller's
son, had nu early presentiment of his fu
ture great eminence. He used to say,
that if he could but once set foot at court,
the possessor of an bumble benefice, "than
be hid not hesitate to say. that "henceforth 1
there was no favor to which ho dared not
aspire."
At .4' liitetr, - ,OcudtitfterwaMi s 'Cardinal
de . Rets, composed certain retidniscences,
of early studies, on reading which', 'Riche
lieu exclaimed, "Here's a dangerous fel

Milton, in his early writings, ;foreshad ;
owed his grent'poeth; then not matured iu
his mind. .11e declared Ida intention',
many years before ho commenced his task,
of writing some great poem : for posterity,
"which the 'World could not willingly let
(lie." ' •
2 Bossed, when - a youth, was presented
to a number of. prelates by one of the
bishops TA:II6 Ch • Ureib who said of hint,

of the
,greatest luminaries of the oburch.".
Mazarin early predicted the brilliant
career of Louis XIV. Ho said of hint. "he
has in hitu stuff for four kings ;" and at
another time, '"lie may Wit) the road a
little later than others, but he will go much
further."
One day a mason, named Barbo, said to
Madame do Maintenou, who was at that
time the wife of Searron, "After much
trouble, a great king will love you- ; you
will reign ; but although at the summit of
favor, it will bo of no benefit to you ". He .
added some remarkable details, which' op
peered to cause her . scone emotion.. Her
friends rallied' her about tho prediction,
when the conjuror said to them, with the
air of It man confident of the truth of what
he said, "You will be glad to kiss the hem
of her garment, then, instead of amusing
yourselves at herexpense.” •
On the other baud, Louis XIV one , 'day
observed to Rochefoucauld • and the Due
do Crequi, "Astrology is altogether false.
I had my. horosope drawn in . Italy ; and
they told roe that after having lived a long
time, I would fall in love with an old wo
man, and love her to the end of my days.
Is there the least likelihood of that ?'
And so saying, he burst into laughing.—.- 1
But this did not, nevertheless, hinder him
from marrying Madame de Maintenon,
when she was fifty years old l So that
that both the .predictions of the mason
and of the Italian conjuror came true at
last
When Voltaro was engaged in the study
of classical learning, the father Lojay was
once very much irritated by the insolence
of his repartees, and taking him by the
collar, shook him roughly suying-H
"Wretched youth I you the stand
ard of deism in .France. Father Pulu, Vol
taire!s confessor, did not less correctly di
vine the futnre career of his young
penitent when he said of him, "This
boy is devoured by a thirst for celeb
!rity."
Sterne has told an anecdote of, what hap
pened to him °meat Halifax. The dohool
master had got -the ceiling newly white
' washed, and the mischievous boy mount
ing the stops almost before the job was
completed, daubed with a brush on the
ceiling the words, in capital letters, Lau.
Sterne ; but he would not have the name
effaced, seeing that Sterne was a boy of
genius, and certain to make a reputation
iu the world. Let us conclude by adopt
ing the thought of Goethe :
"Our desires are the presentiments of
our faculties which lie within us—the pre
cursors of those things whan we aro capa
ble of performing.
Than which we would be, and that
which we desire., present themselves to our
imagination, about us and in the future ;
we prove our aspiration after an object
which we already secretly possess. It is
thus that an intense anticipation transforms
a real possibility into an imaginary reality.
