How to Read the Crystal; or, Crystal and Seer

Crystal gazing
A lady of title visited the seer in the month of June, 1896, and was
told that she would hear news from abroad in some hot country
concerning the birth of a child, a boy, who would arrive in the
following year in the month of February. The lady did hear such
news, and in February, 1897, a boy was born to the lady's sister in
India. The same lady was told that on a certain date, while
travelling, she would meet with an accident to the right leg. She
fell between the platform and the footboard while getting into a
train, and suffered severe abrasion of the right leg, together with a
serious muscular strain which laid her up for several days.
Previous to that the lady was to be surprised by some good fortune
happening to her son in connection with papers and a contest. This
happened at the time specified. Her son passed his examination for
the military college with honours.
Mrs. H. was consulted by a lady of some ability in a special line of
literature. This fact was not, however, within the knowledge of the
seeress. She was told that she would go up a certain staircase into
a dingy room with a roll of something under her arm. She would
see a dark man who was thick-set and of quiet demeanour. The
man would take the roll, and it would be a source of good fortune
to her at a later date.
The lady-consultant did so take a certain manuscript rolled up
beneath her arm. She went up the dingy staircase described by the
seeress, and saw the man whose description had been given.
The manuscript was transferred from her hand to that of the
publisher, for such was the man's occupation. The manuscript was
accepted, and later on was published. So the prediction was
literally fulfilled.
In the first case cited the vision was _symbolical_, and the
interpretation was made by the seer himself. In the second case the
vision was literal, and needed no interpretation. These two cases
will serve for an illustration of the two types of vision.
Mrs. A. was consulted by a lady of the writer's acquaintance in
1893. She was told that she would not marry the person to whom
she was then engaged, but would have to wait till a certain person,
who was described, should come from a foreign country and take
her away. This would happen, it was said, in the month of January,
three years later. This event transpired in due course exactly as
predicted, though nothing was further from the probable course of
events; in fact, the lady was not a little irate at the allusion to
the breaking off of her then existing relations, while the idea of
marrying a person whom she had never seen, and for whom she
could have no sort of regard, was naturally revolting to one so
wholly absorbed as she was at the time.
