RIDER HAGGARD AS PROPHET.
In his entertaining Farmer's Year, Mr. Rider Haggard recalls, in Longman's Magasine, prophecy of his concerning the future of the Transvaal.
It was written in 1876, when most people thought the bankrupt South African Republic of no value. After describing “the monotony and dreariness of the great, Transvaal wastes, ho said :-
has yet those wastes, now so dismal and desolate, are at no: distant date destined to support and catch a large population: Before us lies the country of the practical future, of the days when the rich man will have his estate in Switzerland to gratify his eyes, and his estates in the Transvnal to fill his pockets, The vast land will one day be the garden of Africa, the land of gems and gold, of oil and corn, of steam-ploughs and railways. It has an "assured and a magnificent futurë.
What has followed this prediction, uttered at a time when the Rand was innocent of gold mining, may lend greater weight to Mr. Haggard's eulogy of emigration which appears in the same paper. He says: Why should continue to be cooped up in this narrow people country, living generally upon insuficient means, when yonder their feet might be set in so large a room? Why do they not go to where families can be brought into the world without the terror that if they are brought into the world they will starve or drag their parents down to the dirt to where the individual-may assert himself and find room to develop his own character, instead of being crushed in the mould of custom till, outwardly at any rate, he is as like his fellows us one brick is like the others in a wall? Here, too, unless he be endowed with great ability, abnormal powers of work, and an iron constitution, he has about as much chance of rising as the brick at the bottom as of getting to the top of the wall for the weight of the thousands above keeps him down, and the conventions of acrowded and ancien: civilization tie his hands, and fetter his thought. But in those new homes across the sea it is different, for there he can draw nearer to nature, and, though the advant ages of civilization remain unforfeited, to the happy conditions of the simple, uncomplicated „man." There if he be of gentle birth, his cons can go.tp work among the cattle without losing caste, insicad of being called upon to begin where his father left off, or pay the price in social damage; there his daughters will marry and help to build up some great empire of the future, instead of dying single in a land where marriage is becoming more and more a luxury If I were young again,
for the rich.
