REMARKABLE PROPHECY.
The present condition of Turkey reminds the curious of the old rhymed prophecy said to have been made in 1453. It is now exactly twice ten years from the conclusion of the Crimean war :— In twice two hundred years, the Bear The Crescent shall assail ; But if the Cock and Bull unite, The Bear shall not prevail.
But look ! In twice ten years, again,
Let Islam know and fear, The Cross shall wax-—the Crescent wane. Grow pale, and disappear."
