For - four hundred years, humian testimoiy, drawing its inspiratio,j troin Scriptural propheei6s. has pointed nzdevia. - tingly to this era as the on' id which will be witnessed the-end of time, and the' beginn'ng of eternity.

Evenfroin a secubr stand point, it wou!d be interesting to obs.rve-with whAt nicety of cakulation all the commentators narrow, the event down to the preset'half century, and dif!-r with each other. oialy by a few years.. We have 1866, o7, "'i, 77 and '2,giveii to us b.y var ops wriers a,3 the Lhit of the world's existec but whatexe: is the period named, the concurrent'evidence is strong-4vl starHino. . The unsett1d condition of the ci#ilized ':orld,the premonizory throbbingof revolution among old systems of Gtvernment, the complf.cations growing out of anr own strulg gle, which threatten to involve other ngation s, the . dissolution of social bonr's, the loosening of re straints, and breaiki.ig down of the barriers which confine men wlth:in a civiiir.ed pale, are all cir: 'cumstances now in eourse of occurrence which are quoted as evider.*ee of the fina hour. A still more remarkable rela;ioni between thp prophey and the present hour is estabis~hed by a portion -of the ninth chapter of Daniel,:in which we fiid .the following description of our enemies adu -theis 'eaders. ".And in 'the latter time of their kingdon, when the tra'nsgressor.< are-comne to tbe full, a king of * fiMerce countenance, anid underst.anding dark sen ~tences, shall stand izp.

The'judgment shall sit, and thoy shall take away his dominion to densme arnd de stroy it unto the end." Ye have adverted briefly to. this theme be cause it is one- on wich, notwithstanding .th;e wreck of matter that' is being made,.around us, the thoughts of thoughtful meu are d welling, and because too, it n a'y awaken curiosity among -those who are fond of ancient lore, to read es .pecially with this subject in view. A topic how * ever, so fruiitful in interer t to man, woman .and ehild, may weil excite someting imore than-mere Northern papers state that ten regiments hbave been reruited from among the cor.tra bands who joined Sherman in lis recen t march, and further additions are, expected to this frce frem his neent campaign.
