Similarly, too, the vine foretells prosperity, "for which," says a dream interpreter, "we have the example of Astyages, king of the Medes, who dreamed that his daughter brought forth a vine, which was a prognostic of the grandeur, riches, and felicity of the great Cyrus, who was born of her after this dream." Plucking ears of corn signifies the existence of secret enemies, and Mr.
Yea, this man's brow, like to a tragic leaf, Foretells the nature of a tragic volume. Shakspeare. Being at length rid of the housekeeper's presence, Morton made a collection of what he had reserved from the provisions set before him, and prepared to carry them to his concealed guest. But who can assure us that such was not the custom in Charles the Second's time?
No one but Rose, perhaps, knew how proud and pleased the good man felt at this first small success of his godson, for he had always had high hopes of the boy, because in spite of his oddities he had such an upright nature, and promising little, did much, with the quiet persistence which foretells a manly character.
The rain gauge helps them to measure the rainfall. Then comes the problem of where the water goes after it reaches the ground. "How far down does some of it go?" "When and where does it come out of the ground?" Arithmetic is brought in in measuring the rainfall and its distribution. The gully tells of the wearing of the water, and foretells a river valley.

Our cousin the curate no sooner saw the tropical stranger, and marked his impression upon Flora, than he felt the end. As the shaft struck his heart, his smile was sweeter, and his homage even more poetic and reverential.
"Hit's handy enough," answered Parish, "but I don't aim ter go over thar armed ef they kills me like ye foretells they will, they've got ter murder me coldblooded so all men kin see wh'ar ther fault lays at."
Here begins one of the great themes of the Epistle. The reference is to the thirtieth chapter of Jeremiah, from which an extract is here made at length. There the prophet, in the name of his God, explicitly foretells the advent of what we may reverently call a new departure in the revealed relations between Jehovah and His people.
Then for the first time the Palmer broke his silence, and said in reply: "It foretells the death of a loved friend." Utterance, for once, failed the haughty Marmion, whose pride heretofore could scarcely brook a word even from his King.
