THE KNELL OF TIME. 
Heard you teat knell ? It was the knell of Time 
And is Time dead ? I thought Time never died. 
I knew him old, 'tis true, and full of years; 
And he was bald, except in front—but he 
Was strong as Hercules. I saw him grasp 
The oak—it fell ; the tower—it crumbled ; the stone, 
The sculptured monument, that mark the grave 
Of fallen greatness, ceased their pompous strain 
As Time came by. Yes, Time was very strong ; 
And I had thought too strong for death to gr-apple. 
But I remember now his step was light, 
And though he moved at rapid rate, or trod 
On adamant, his tread was never heard, 
Anil there was something ghostly in the thought, 
That in the silence of the midnight hour 
He trod my chamber, and I heard hint not. 
And I have held my breath, and listened close 
To catch one footfall, as he glided by ; 
But naught awoke the echo slumbering there. 
And the thought struck me, then, that one whose step 
Was so much like a spirit's tread; whose acts 
Were all so noiseless, like the world unseen, 
Would soon he fit for other worlds than this, 
Fit for high converse with immortal minds, 
Unfettered by the flesh, unchained to earth. 
The Protestant Alliance. 
A late British Banner, contains the resolu-
tions and speeches made at the meeting of the 
Alliance in London in Dec. last. We make 
the following extracts, as matters of interest re-
specting the present attitude of the Papacy. 
A general meetimg of the members and 
friends of the Protestant Alliance was held on 
Friday last, for the purpose of " adopting reso-
lutions suited to the present crisi, and more es-
pecially of petitioning Parliament for the repeal 
of the Maynooth Endowment Act." 
Every allusion to any aggression on the part 
of the clerical leaders of the Roman Catholic 
body against the civil and religious liberties of 
the people of this country and of mankind in 
general, or to the duty of the Protestant Eng-
lishmen to repel with energy such an aggres-
sion, was received by every one present with a 
feeling of deep and solemn enthusiasm on be-
half of truth and liberty. 
The chair was taken shortly after twelve 
o'clock by the Earl of Shaftesbury, amidst loud 
and general cheering. 
The Rev. E. Auriol opened the proceedings 
with prayer. 
The Chairman came forward, amidst loud 
and long continued cheers, and addressed the 
meeting as follows : 
Gentlemen and brother Protestants (cheers), 
we are assembled here this day upon a subject 
of some delicacy, but of singular importance ; 
we are met here to-day not to institute—for 
that is already done—not to institute a society, 
but to confirm and extend an association called 
" The Protestant Alliance "—(hear, hear)—an 
association comprised of some members of the 
Church of England, and some members of the 
great Nonconformist bodies — (hear, hear)—
united together for the purpose of offering a 
consolidated resistance to the Papal aggression 
—(loud cheers)—an aggression alike crafty and 
bold—against our spiritual and our political 
liberties. (Cheers.) Now, the history of this 
transaction is short and simple. The outra-
geous insolence of the Papal power, as exhibited 
in the past year, and a sense of the common 
danger, induced many to look to the existing 
state of things, and to consider whether we did 
not present by our unhappy divisions abundant 
opportunities to our insidious and daring foe—
(hear, hear)—and to see whether it could not 
be possible to combine in the same efforts many 
of those who, notwithstanding their differences 
—I rejoice to say, thank God, minor differences 
—to see whether they could not be induced to 
enter into one great effort for the purpose of 
maintaining spiritual and political freedom in 
this and in every other region of the earth.—
(Cheers.) Well, now, after several preliminary 
conferences, this Association was formed on the 
25th of June, and these are the principles on 
which it was based : 
" That itappears desirable to form an Associa-
tion which shall combine all classes of Protest-
ants, whose object is not merely to oppose this 
recent aggression of the Pope as a violation of 
national independence, but to maintain and de-
fend against all the encroachments of Popery 
the scriptural doctrines of the Reformation and 
the principles of religious liberty, as the best 
security, under God, for the temporal and spir-
itual welfare and prosperity of this kingdom." 
J. C. Colquhoun, Esq., rose to move the first 
resolution : 
" That the revival, on the part of the Church 
of Rome, of the loftiest pretensions and most 
intolerant doctrines of the Papacy of the Mid-
dle Ages, renders it the duty of all Protestants 
to unite, both for the defence of their civil and 
religious liberties, and for the maintenance of 
that Revealed Truth on which depend alike the 
temporal and eternal happiness of mankind." 
He said : I approach the subject from a posi-
tion somewhat different from most of those gen-
tlemen who surround me. I have not the honor 
of being a member of the Protestant Alliance. 
To its great exertions, its zealous and growing 
labors, and its various merits, I have no claim, 
for in them I hdve had no concern. It was my 
fortune to oppose the Maynooth Grant in Par-
liament some time ago, and I have ever since 
contended with the same parties, out of Parlia-
ment, in making constant efforts against this 
measure. (Cheers.) But when I saw your 
resolutions—when I saw that it was to embrace 
persons of various opinions, both in politics and 
religion—I felt that it would be treason to prin-
ciple and a foul shame if I were to refrain from 
now coming forward and testifying my sympa-
thy and my admiration for the great struggle 
into which the Alliance have entered. (Cheers.) 
But I hear it said—I see it written—what is 
the meaning of this strange medley of sects and 
parties ? You tell us you mean to displace 
Rome, but what do you mean to substitute for 
her? Why, my Lord, I think these writers do 
not understand the first principles of this ques-
tion. (Cheers.) They don't understand, if they 
will permit me to say so—the principles of our 
common faith ; they don't understand, I am 
sure, the first principles of English freedom, 
and they have conveniently, but effectually, 
sponged out of their memory all the facts of 
English history. (Hear, hear.) It is very true 
that there are minor differences amongst us.—
It is true, if we were engaging in some visionary 
scheme of amalgamating Christians of all opin-
ions, we should signally and ludicrously fail. 
But you, my Lord, have in past times conducted 
us under your wise and sagacious directions to 
benevolent exertions. You have called upon 
us to grapple with the social evils that afflict 
humanity—with wearing and excessive toil—
with the pestilence and disease that were stalk-
ing in our streets like an armed man. Now, 
was it ever heard or supposed—would the ar-
gument be listened to, when if we were met on 
the common platform to contend against these 
common enemies of humanity, if some one were 
to cry out—Stop ! take care what you are do-
ing. That gentleman is a Baptist, don't take 
his money. That gentleman, with whom you 
are combining in order to establish a ragged 
school or to cleanse a pestilential lane—I tell 
you, I know it is a fact, that he is a Noncon-
formist. (Laughter.) Now, take care what you 
are doing. Are you, an Episcopalian, going to 
act with him ? You, an Episcopalian, are you 
going to join a Presbyterian ? Are you going 
to unite with a Free Churchman ? I saw such 
a person, I assure you, last Sunday—he might 
have been seen in a very suspicious neighbor- 
hood, near Covent-garden or near Regent-square. 
Now such an argument as that is absurd, and 
must be passed by with utter derision. But 
perhaps these writers do not like living parallels. 
Let us look'at some historical facts. There are 
great times and trying seasons which come upon 
a nation. Your Lordship told us truly, that 
this is one of the great efforts in which English-
men ought to unite. But there have been such 
efforts before—we have read of them, and 1 
hope they are not forgotten. And there was a 
time when England had to meet the same des-
perate struggle of the Papacy, then differently 
embodied from what it is now—not embodied 
in Austrian Governments, although very nearly 
so, but embodied in the great Spanish monarchy. 
There was a time when the Papacy raised its 
standard against England, and sent her hostile 
fleets against her ; and when many a man's 
heart failed him from fear, and many an eye 
looked from the cliffs of Albion lest over the sea 
they should see the whitening sails of the Span-
ish Armada ; and they listened in alarm and 
terror lest every howl of the southern wind 
should bring with it the booming of Spanish 
guns. * * * * What would have been 
said in such a day, if one man and another kept 
back from that great conflict, and refused to as-
sist in upholding the independence of their coun-
try ? Why in the present clay, whatever be our 
differences, we shall be able to show that, in the 
conflict now opening, we shall be as one man, 
brother by brother, in affection and charity with 
each other—(cheers)—and in zeal for the cause 
of truth, we shall stand together. But, my 
Lord, I have this also to say, that our question 
is not with the religious doctrines of the Church 
of Rome on this occasion. There are many 
other occasions, and many other associations, 
and many other efforts, in which we meet to 
contend with the Church of Rome on the ground 
of her doctrine and her errors. But our com-
plaint now is, not that the Church of Rome dif-
fers from us, and, as we think, differs from 
truth, taut that she will not allow a fair debate, 
a tolerant discussion ; and that, when she sees 
that the scales are turning against her, she will 
always throw the sword of the civil magistrate, 
and the axe of the executioner, and the chains 
of the gaoler, and the bludgeon of the mob, into 
the rising scale. (Cheers.) That is our com-
plaint against the Church of Rome,—that is the 
danger which we see and fear, and that is the 
danger which brings us together to-day. But 
then, if you say, " What is the justification for 
your fear ?—it is a panic." What is the actual 
state of the case in France, in Italy in Spain, 
in Austria, at this moment ? Other speakers 
will tell you how the axe and the prison, and 
exile and confiscation, are doing their work 
against those virtuous men who read the Gospel 
of the living God with sincerity of heart — 
(Cheess.) Why, my friend Mr. Burgess will 
tell you what is the case in France. He will 
tell you as an eye-witness ; but we all know 
from the common reports what has occurred in 
Italy, and what has passed in Rome. My friend 
here can tell you of one who has hardly escaped 
with his life from the Castle of St. Angelo ; he 
can tell you of one who, with an historical 
name which is the glory of Florence, was driven 
out of his country for no other fault than read-
ing the Bible. And then, again, I shall not 
weary you with tales from Ireland, part of our 
own dominions; but this I will say, that there are 
many on this platform who are cognizant that 
at this very mornent, unless they have been re-
leased by death, there, the latest victims.of Ro-
mish "arguments," in the town of Drogheda, 
in the very see and under the very wing of 
Primate Cullen, are two men, whose only of-
fence,---I speak it guardedly, and I hope note 
will be taken of it,—whose only offence was, 
that they preached the Gospel to the people of 
Drogheda,—to willing ears and thirsty hearts, 
welcomed in every house, greedily listened to 
by an anxious people. That being their offence, 
they were tracked, they were followed by a 
mob,—by whom instigated I do not pretend to 
say ; that is a matter for judicial inquiry, and 
upon that I say nothing now,—but the facts 
are, that they were followed, they were tracked, 
they were beaten ; one of them has hardly es- 
caped, and the other, by the last accounts we 
have received, is sobbing out the last breath of 
failing life under the cruel injuries he sustained. 
But, my Lord, this resolution, standing as it 
does, deserves to be supported by documents about 
which there can be no dispute. It broadly as-
serts that there is a revival of all the intolerant 
pretensions of the Church of Rome ; and on so 
grave an occasion, it is necessary that I should, 
without trespassing too far on your time, adduce 
some proof of what the Committee has declared. 
1 shall read to you, in the first place, from a 
publication with which many of you are ac-
quainted—I allude to the "Rambler," of Sep-
tember last. It is a periodical published by the 
Roman Catholics of this country, and represents 
the more cultivated minds among the Roman 
Catholics of England ; and I beg you to ob-
serve, that it is not written in some remote 
corner of Ireland, or in some slavish corner of 
Europe, but it is written and published here 
amongst ourselves by the ablest members of the 
Raman Catholic persuasion, and embodies their 
views. I will not read what this Journal says 
about civil liberty, because it is not so germane 
to our object ; but if we value civil liberty it 
does not give us much chance for it, because it 
says that in many instances it is exceedingly 
desirable that it should be entirely withheld. 
But I will give you what they say about reli-
gious liberty : 
" But religious liberty, in the sense that every 
man may choose his own religion, is one of the 
most wicked delusions foisted on the age by the 
father of all deceit. No man has a right to 
choose his own religion—none but an atheist 
can uphold the principles of religious liberty. 
Shall 1 foster that damnable doctrine that So-
cinianism, and Calvinism, and Anglicanism, 
and Judaism are not, every one of them, mortal 
sins, like murder and adultery ? Shall I hold 
out to the Protestant that 1 will not meddle 
with his creed if lie will not meddle with mine ? 
Shall I lead him to think that religion is a mat-
ter of private opinion ?" 
I pray you notice this. They say they must 
tell the Protestant " that he has no more right 
to his religious opinions than he has to.(his 
purse, I should have thought it must be, but no,) 
my purse, or my house, or my life." " Ca-
tholicism is the most intolerant of creeds—it is 
intolerance itself."—(To be continued.)

No. III.—THE TOWER OF LONDON. 
The Tower is one of the most interesting ob-
jects in London to visitors, on account of its nu-
merous historical associations. It was built by 
William the Conqueror, about the year 1078, 
and strongly garrisoned with Normans, in order 
to intimidate his new -subjects. From some 
coins found here, it is believed that the Romans 
also had a fort in the same spot. For 500 
years it was occupied as a palace, but since the 
time of Elizabeth, it has been devoted to the 
purposes of a 'Royal Arsenal, a depository of the 
regalia of England, a garrison, and a prison. It 
is situated on the North bank of the Thames 
at the North-east end of the city. You ap-
proach it by Thames-street. which takes you 
through the celebrated Fish-Market, which has 
given its name to the foulest and most abusive 
language, viz., Billingsgate. Close at hand is 
the Custom House, an extensive pile of Port-
land stone, presenting a fine front to the river, 
three Ionic porticoes of six pillars each, the 
whole 488 feet in length, and 107 in width, with 
a broad and solid quay, which forms an agreea-
ble promenade. 
North of the Tower, across the street is Trini-
ty House, the seat of the Corporation. of that 
name, selected from the commanders in the 
navy and merchant service, including also some 
of the nobility, who have the navigation of the 
whole kingdom under guardianship, appoint 
pilots, erect light-houses and sea-marks, publish 
charts, and attend to all business connected with 
the Thames. On Trinity Monday of every year,

The French Republic was hardly a year old 
when it carried fire and sword against a sister 
republic, with the cry still sounding on its lips 
of " liberty, equality, and fraternity." Since 
then, the party of order has been little else than 
a bundle of factions and jealousies. The Na-
tional Assembly have agreed in nothing but in 
quarrelling with the President, and are fast ruin-
ing their cause by their own strifes and fol-
lies, The Pope has been restored by French 
bayonets, and is asserting his old pre-eminence. 
In a neck-and-neck race, the Roman States still 
merit the distinction of being the worst gov-
erned in Europe. Naples alone disputes the. 
palm, by the cruel and reckless tyranny of its 
rulers. Tuscany is resigning itself into the 
arms of Austria, and men are put in prison for 
the crime of reading the Bible in a private 
house. Austria has sold herself to the Jesuits. 
At a time when the empire needs more than 
human wisdom to recover the ground it has lost 
by three bloody civil wars, every public measure 
seems smitten with folly, and suited only to 
kindle fresh revolutions. In Baden, a Protest-
ant State, the Jesuits are allowed full leave to 
assail the Reformation, while for circulating 
Protestant tracts, Dr. Marriott is now in prison. 
The state of Prussia is little better. The King 
has lost the confidence of his subjects, and is 
charged with a breach of solemn promises. 
Everywhere the revolutionists are full of hope. 
Abusing the safe asylum which England has 
given them, they are hatching fresh conspiracies 
in London against the Continental Govern-
merits. They even fix the spring of next year 
for the time of a general out-break, and specu-
late coolly on the necessity of taking off one or 
two millions of heads, to secure the triumph of 
liberty and fraternity throughout the world. 
Oppression or neglect has bred revolt. Revolt 
has terrified rulers into oppression ; and oppres-
sion is fast breeding new revolts, and preparing 
fresh storms in every quarter of the political 
horizon. When shall we escape from this fatal 
circle of sin and folly ? When will the people 
learn that license is fatal to true liberty ? When 
will rulers be taught that blind severity is the 
secret fuel of reolutionary violence ? That, 
when universal discontent is kept down with 
swords and bayonets, it needs only a spark to 
explode the whole, and to bury themselves and 
their people in one common ruin ? 
There is only one remedy for this giant evil, 
and despots and Red Republicans are equally 
unwilling to use it. The Bible, and the Bible 
alone, is the true safety and the peace of na-
tions. There can be no liberty for a people 
where each heart is a nursery of all evil pas-
sions, and the pretended patriot is a self-willed 
tyrant in disguise. There can be no real order 
where brute force alone governs ; where the 
selfishness of rulers breeds fierce discontent in 
millions of their subjects, tramples law under 
foot, and creates a secret anarchy in the hearts 
of all men. Self-restraint is the only founda-
tion of true order, or of solid and lasting free• 
dom. But this can spring neither from the 
Hegelian philosophy, nor the doctrines of Com-
munism, nor the teaching of Rome. Where 
men are the slaves of a priest, they cannot be 
free. Where they place their freedom in a 
proud denial of guilt, and boastful claims of vir-
tue and wisdom, belied by their whole conduct, 
their liberty will be an empty bubble, a mere 
vent and outlet for the passions and the misery 
of hell. 
" Lost ! Lost !" 
Nearly half a century ago, when I was a 
small boy, 1 lived in the neighborhood of the 
Staffordshire coal-mines in England. One morn-
ing considerable excitement was created by a 
statement, that on the preceding night a man 
wandering among the old worn-out coal-pits 
was lost, and being unable to grope his way 
longer in the dark, he stood still and cried at 
the top of his voice, " Lost ! lost lost !" 
At 
length a poor man, a collier, was awoke out of 
his sleep by the sound, and rising from his bed, 
proceeded with a lantern to the spot, where he 
found the lost man standing on the very edge 
of a deep precipice. Had he, instead of stand-
ing still and crying out as he did, taken ano-
ther step, he would have fallen in, and probably 
been dashed to pieces. Much public interest 
was felt in this great deliverance. 
It was at that time my privilege to attend the 
ministry of a venerable servant of Jesus Christ, 
who displayed surprising ingenuity in the selec-
tion of subjects for his sermons, and if any thing 
remarkable occurred during the week, it would 
be generally used on the following Sabbath by 
way of instruction or admonition. On the 
morning of the Lord's day after the occurrence 
at the coal-pits," instead of putting on his 
spectacles to read his text, as usual, he laid 
them beside his open Bible, looked with intense 
interest over the whole church, and as the tears 
streamed down his cheeks, exclaimed, in tones 
which even now seem to ring in my ears," Lost ! 
LOST ! LOST ! Yes, my dear hearers, this is 
have me do ?" With his reason and judgment 
as steady and strong as ever, he knew at once 
that something was wanted of him, and ever 
ready to act, he asked what it was. 
From this time on, his track can be distin-
guished by the commotion about it, and the 
light above it. Straight back to Jerusalem, from 
whence he had so recently come with letters 
to legalize his persecutions, he went to cast 
his lot in with those he had followed with 
violence and slaughter, His strong heart nev-
er beat one quicker pulsation through fear, 
when the lofty turrets of the proud city dashed 
on his vision. Neither did he steal away to 
the dark alleys and streets, where the disciples, 
 
were concealed,and tell them secretly his faith in 
the Son of God. He strode into the synagogues, 
and before the astonished priests preached Christ 
and him crucified. He thundered at the door 
of the Sanhedrim itself, and shaking Jerusalem 
like an earthquake, awoke a tempest of rage and 
fury on himself. With assassins dogging his 
footsteps, he at length left the city. 
But, instead of going to places where he was 
unknown, and where his feelings would be less 
tried, he started for his native city, his father's 
house, the house of his boyhood, for his kindred 
and friends. To entreaties, tears, scorn, and 
violence, he was alike impervious: To Antioch 
arid Cyprus, along the coast of Syria and Rome, 
over the known world, he went like a blazing 
comet, waking up the nations of the earth.—
From the top of Mar's Hill, with the gorgeous 
city at his feet, and the Acropolis and Parthenon 
behind him—on the deck of his shattered ves-
sel in the intervals of the crash of billows, in 
the gloomy walls of a prison, on the borders of 
the eternal kingdom, he speaks in the same 
calm and determined tone, Deterred by rio dan-
ger, awed by no presence, and shrinking from 
rio responsibility, he moves before us like some 
grand embodiment of power. The nations heave 
around him, and kings turn pale at his presence. 
Bands of conspirators swear neither to eat nor 
drink till they have slain him ; rulers and 
priests combine against him ; and people stone 
him ; yet over the din of the conflict and storm 
of violence his voice of eloquence rises clear 
and distinct as a trumpet call, as he still 
preaches Christ and him crucified. The whip is 
laid on his back till the blood starts with every 
blow, and then his mangled body is thrown into 
a dungeon. But at midnight you hear that same 
calm, strong voice which has shaken the world, 
poured fourth in a rhyme cf praise to God, and 
lo ! an earthquake rocks the prison to its foun-
dations ; the manacles fall Iron) the hands of 
the captives, the bolts withdraw of themselves, 
and the massive doors swing back on their 
hinges. 
One cannot point to a single spot in his ca-
reer where he faltered a moment, or gave way 
to discouragement or fear. Through all his 
perilous life, he exhibited the same intrepidity 
of character and lofty spirit. With his eyes 
fixed on regions beyond the ken of ordinary 
mortals, and kindling on glories it was not 
permitted him to reveal, he pressed forward to 
an incorruptible crown, a fadeless kingdom.—
And then his death, how indescribably sublime. 
Napoleon, dying in the midst of the midnight 
storm, with the last words that fell from his 
lips a battle cry, and his passing spirit watch-
ing in its delirium the torn heads of his mighty 
columns, as they disappeared in the smoke of 
the conflict, is a sight that awes arid startles 
us. But behold Paul, also a war-worn veteran, 
battered with many a scar, though in a spiritual 
warfare, looking not on the earth but on heav- 
en. Hear his calm, serene voice ringing over 
the storms and commotions of life : " I am now 
ready to be offered, and the time of my depar-
ture is at hand. 1 have fought a good fight, I 
have finished my course. There is laid up for 
me a crown of righteousness." No shouts of 
foemen, nor smoke nor carnage of battle sur-
rounding his spirit struggling to be free ; but 
troops of shining angels, the smile of God, and 
the songs of the redeemed. These guarded him, 
and welcomed him home. J. T. Deadly. 
Europe's Sickness and Cure. 
Europe is sick of a deadly fever. In 1848 
there was one vast experiment' of popular revo-
lutions. It failed wretchedly. In one single 
year the boastful champions of progress and 
liberty had secured to themselves the hatred or 
contempt of nine-tenths of the world. Anar-
chy, bankruptcy, and bloodshed, cooled the zeal 
of the must ardent spirits. The bubbles of de-
mocracy burst at once, and were followed by a 
universal cry for .strong government. All who 
dreaded the passions, or smarted under the fol-
lies of the revolutionists, banded together, and a 
new party of order arose. Its cement, unhap-
pily, was fear, and not Christian faith or politi-
cal wisdom. For nearly three years the reins 
have been in their hands,. and already they 
have almost blotted out the lessons of 1848, and 
enlisted the hopes and passions of the people 
again on the side of revolution. 
.` SA-LANDER AND THE DRAGON 
A Romance of the Hartz 
Prison. By FREDERIC WILLIAM SHELTON, M. A. New York : 
JOHN S. TAYLOR, 153 Nassau-street. 1852." For sale at this of
fice. 
This is a book of 250 pages, the title to which 
did not strike us as very attractive ; but we had not 
glanced beyond the first page, before we saw that it 
was a beautiful allegory, presenting in a quaint man-
ner much instructive truth. Therefore instead of 
merely glancing at the book, we have read it before 
noticing, and are tempted to give an outline of it to 
our readers. 
It proceeds something in the manner of BUNYAN'S 
Holy War; and, excepting BUNYAN'S, is the best 
specimen of allegorical writing that we have seen. 
The reader will perceive that " Salander" is only 
another name for slander, the " Dragon" being the 
wings on which slander flies. All the names and 
terms used are expressive of corresponding ones, some 
of which may require to be pronounced several times, 
before their appropriateness is recognized. 
" Goodman " was the keeper of the " Hartz Cas-
tle," which place he held under the " Lord of Con-
scienza." One night as the setting sun cast its part-
ing glances on the " two beautiful bow windows " of 
the " Castle," a stranger announced himself as " Don 
Officioso," bringing a prisoner named " Salander " 
for " safe keeping." He was let in through a wind-
ing passage called " earlan," to the inmost cell of 
the" Hartz Prison." " Salander " the prisoner, was 
a most curious imp as was ever seen. He was a little 
lean shriveled body, with grass green eyes, had an 
immense mouth, shriveled wrinkled countenance, 
ears that stuck straight out on the side of his head, 
and a squeaking voice. He was a child of the" Duke 
D'Envy," a precise personage, who, ashamed of the 
hantling, and not wishing to he recognized as the 
father of the little monster, had sent him a prisoner 
to the " Hartz Castle," supposing that he would of 
course escape from custody, when he would make

been committed in this kingdom, no doubt. Some 
person has had an opinion of his own, which he has 
dared to divulge. It is to he feared that the woods 
will not grow fast enough to furnish faggots to burn np 
men who are bold enough to think." " Even where 
they do not pile sticks around you, and kindle the 
fire, they have a caustic which answers the purpose 
just as well. They starve you, they turn you out of 
place, they give you a cold shoulder, they set the 
tide rolling against you, they break your heart with 
coldness and indignity. You may cut a throat, and 
escape time gallows, but if you have an opinion, look 
out lest you be burned. Oh the world is hecotning 
Christianized !" So thought Goodman. 
As he advanced on his journey he encounters great 
perils. He is accused of being the father of Salan-
der, and time abettor of his mischief. Every one 
looks on him suspiciously. The servants of one 
" Diavolo " called him a poor crazy old man. He 
was buffeted and scorned, and his very hairs turned 
from a fine auburn to gray in a single night. Unsuc-
cessful in his search, he returns to the lord of Con-
scienza in despair. 
Conscienza smote him, and commanded him to go 
to the province of " Gudneiburud " with direction 
to inspect the ruins of the alabaster palace, and either 
rebuild it, or pay the loss incurred. " He soon 
came upon what was once a pleasant garden, and still 
a wilderness of sweets. But the paths were covered 
with grass, the fruits stolen, the fountains choked, 
the flowers trailed in the dust, the vines mildewed, 
and the statues were blackened and cast down." But 
what were his feelings when he came in sight " of 
what was once the alabaster palace. It was a snow- 
white mass of ruins. The most delicately-chiseled 
leaves of the acanthus were scattered about profusely. 
Here lay a broken column, and there a Corinthian 
capital ;" and in the moonlight, Salander and his crew 
came to dance and revel over the ruins of the alabas-
ter palace of " Gudnaim." 
Here Conscienza met Goodman, and interrogated : 
" What have you done to restore these lamentable 
ruins?" " Nothing, my lord, unless sighs and teals 
have a power to re-build." " Tears,' exclaimed 
the other; " what recompense have tears? Is that 
all which you have to offer for broken hearts and 
ruined houses ? They can do no good. One attempt, 
perhaps, remains to you, and though it can he no 
benefit to others, it may allay your own smarts.—
You can go and ask forgiveness of the injured and 
ruined." 
With great readiness Goodman set out on this er-
rand. Of the first person he met he inquired if he 
knew the present residence of the family once resi- 
dent at " Gudnaim House." Yes, said the other, 
he is in a small house in the neighborhood. " Where 
is the dwelling 1" said Goodman as his guide con- 
ducted him into a well peopled graveyard. " Here," 
said the other, " they are dead." Wurthi had never 
recovered from the wounds of the arrow of one " In- 
grat." Goodman fell down on the graves of those 
who had been destroyed, by the imp he had permitted 
to escape from " Tungland," He could not eat or 
sleep, and in great distress returned and shut him-
self up in the" Hartz Castle." " Sizentiers " would 
not undo the mischief done. He walked out into the 
valley of " Lonelimusen," and there " Remorse " met 
him and buffeted him without mercy. " Pryint " 
thought he made too much of little timings ; but at 
length she was melted to tears. She confessed her 
error, and solemly promised never again to admit 
within her doors another vile " Salander," whose 
path, wherever he had gone, was tracked with blood 
and ruin. 
That teaches you, said the still small voice of 
Conscienza,' to have a stricter watch over the Hartz 
Castle, and not let its wicked guests go forth into the 
world. The evil which they do lives after them." 
your condition—lost!" Then did he go on to 
illustrate the depravity and folly of man in de-
parting from God, forsaking the narrow path of 
righteousness and duty, and wandering among 
the bogs and pits of a corrupted world, in search 
of enjoyment—ever disappointed, and yet ea-
gerly pursuing what had always eluded the 
grasp of man. Clearly did he show the danger 
of sinners thus straying from heaven, and in 
millions of cases falling into eternal perdition 
before they were aware of their real state ; and 
in contrast, the safety of the man who becomes 
acquainted with his real character and pros-
pectss, arid cries out in self-despair, " Lost ! 
lost!" " Happy, happy man," exclaimed he, 
" God is appearing for your deliverance !" 
Then with solemn dignity, as he put on his 
spectacles, he said, " Brethren, I bring you a 
glorious message from heaven ; will you hear 
it ? The Son of man is come to save that 
which was lost.'"—Mat. I8:11. He showed this 
message of mercy to be adapted to the circum-
stances of sinners lost to all right feeling and 
happiness, to the divine glory and usefulness 
among men, to heaven and to God. While he 
presented with graphic power the transgressor 
against God standing on the very brink of the 
bottomless abyss, we seemed to hear the voice 
of infinite mercy saying to divine justice, " De-
liver him from going to the pit ; 1 have found 
a ransom." The infinite dignity of the Son of 
Jehovah, his boundless love in becoming incar-
nate to die in the stead of the sinner, and the 
inconceivable and eternal blessings he bestows 
on the returning penitent, were beautifully pre-
s3nted to our view. Nor with less clearness did 
he prove the ability and willingness of Christ to 
save sinners ; showing the price, even that of 
his own blood, paid for their redemption, and 
the fact that he is still engaged in the heavenly 
world in interceding " for the transgressors." 
Every one seemed to feel that Jesus is still able 
and willing to save the vilest sinners ; but that 
if his salvation be rejected, there remains no 
hope for the rebel—no hope!

"BEHOLD! THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH!" 
BOSTON, SATURDAY, JAN. 17, 1852. 
All readers of the HERALD are most earnestly besought to give it 
room in their prayers ; that by means of it God may be honored and 
his truth advanced ; also, that it may be conducted in faith and love, 
with sobriety of judgment and discernment of the truth, in nothing 
Carried away into error, or hasty speech, or sharp, unbrothcrly dis-
putation. 
the matter:" The Lord of Conscienza reprimanded 
Goodman for receiving the imp ; but as he had done 
so, cautioned him not to let him loose on his peril. 
Now Goodman's wife, " Pryint," had no sooner 
learned the arrival of Salander, of which she had 
heard " by listening at the keyhole," than she in-
sisted on having a Sight of him, and a share in his 
safe keeping ; with which Goodman, to keep peace 
in his family, reluctantly complied, without taking ad-
vice of the " Lord of Conscienza." 
" Pryint " soon learned the whole history of 
Salander, how his father " D'Envy " had married 
a woman of bad disposition named " Gosippa," and 
had a large family of children, all monsters, who 
were no sooner born than their parents were ashamed 
of them, and tried to palm them off upon strangers. 
She took quite a liking to Salander, and when he 
complained of being ill, gave him a volatile essence 
called " Brethuf Suspishun." 
Not far from" Hartz " was an ancient place called 
" Fussom House," so situated that it caught every 
breeze that stirred. Its inmates employed " Neus-
piper, Stimbote, Telgraff," and other runners to in-
form them of what was going on. The name of the 
family was " Snapit.'' Thither" Pryint " went and 
intimated that she could show Snapit something 
which would make her open her eyes wide. On 
Snapit's promise to " keep entirely dark," she whis-
pered something in her ear, which caused her to fortn 
her mouth into the shape of the letter 0. 
When they patted, Snapit hastened to see Mrs. 
Tattleby," and she to see Mrs. " Watovjt," who 
soon had an interview with " Mr. Blab." These 
became so interested to see the wonder, that Pryint 
began to suffer in her health, because Goodman would 
not let her gratify them. Finally she persuaded him 
that Salander was an inoffensive harmless gentleman, 
that it was too bad to keep him in the dark cell, and 
that he should have his liberty. For a time" Good-
man " would not consent, because it would displease 
the " Lord of Conscienza." But being invited with 
his wife to a great feast given by a baron named 
" Luverov Thewold," in the town of" Drownthort," 
he drank too much wine and was persuaded to pro-
cure a potion of a sorceress for which he was to pay 
in some future time one hundred "sizentiers," and 
by which the " Lord of Conscienza " might be made 
insensible,—hoping thus to escape his control. The 
potion was composed of drowsy herbs, such as 
Think-not and Worlds-care and Never-pray." This 
administered, Salander was brought from his cell and 
introduced to several neighbors who had come in— 
Mrs. Snapit," " Mrs. Pompus," Mr. Blab," 
etc., and on his promise to go into the world and 
" do good," he was conducted to a narrow point of 
land called " Tungland," and told to jump into the 
sea and swim for his life. In anlinstant " a bat-
winged dragon " made his appearance, and Salander 
leaped on his back and vanished. " Heaven defend 
us," said Goodman to his wife, " we have entertained 
an evil spirit." 
In the province of " Gudneiburud," on a high 
eminence there stood a beautiful alabaster palace, 
called " Gudnaim," inhabited by " Wurthi." Every 
one loved him except the " Duke D'Envy." It was 
in the realm of " Beuti " surrounded by rich fields 
of " Meind "—the darling inheritance of its Lord. 
" Wurthi " had been rich, but his " riches had flap-
ped their fiery wings and flown away ;" his ships 
of pearls had stranded on rocky reefs, and only his 
fair wife " Stella," and his beautiful palace " Gud-
naim " remained. They sighed for no gaudy trin-
kets ; for " Stella wore upon her brow a more pre-
cious gem than ever flashed in the casket of an em-
press." Little did they dream of the dread disas-
ters impending. For Salander had no sooner escaped 
from " Tungland," than making a few gyrations in 
the air, he came with a whizzing sound into " God-
neiburud," and found a hiding place near " Gud-
naim." Watching an opportunity, by tickling the 
ear of the servant " Barbara," he persuaded her to 
steal the priceless jewel from the brow of her mis-
tress. Once possessed of " Stella's " gent, Salan-
der hastes to cast it into the deep dark sea. It spark-
led like a dew drop through the moonbeams, as it 
sank into the waters and reposed with other gems, in 
the coral caverns of the deep. 
Stella at first did not miss her gem, which was a 
regular " Koh-i-noor," known by the name of " god-
esteem." She never suspected that any envied her 
its possession, till she heard it whispered about that 
it was gone. She had done no evil, arid was the same 
pure being as before, but when she found that her 
gem was gone, after searching for it in vain she 
sobbed herself to death. At her burial, among the 
weeping mourners Salander intruded, the hypocrite, 
and pretended to weep like a child. 
" Stella " dead, " Wurthi's " alabaster palace of 
" Gudnaim " was " Salander's " next object of at-
tack. Wurthi received anonymous intimations that 
there were " conspirators " busily " hatching a plot 
for his ruin ; but he could not believe he had done 
anything to excite the malice of an enemy. He never 
considered those worthy of notice who could not act 
above board, and disregarded the warnings. At one 
time a middle aged bustling woman announced her- 
self to him as" Madame Rumor," a widow of univer- 
sal reputation, residing in the province of " Ubi-
quity." She excused herself for intruding, but said : 
" They say you have been doing something, although 
I don't believe it, and don't know what it is ; and 
they say that somewhat is on foot against you ;—
and they say—and they say—and they say "—but 
here she was out of breath. " Wurthi " was in-
credulous, and politely bowed her out. 
In the meantime " Salander " had been on a visit 
to his relations ; for " Duke D'Envy " had a brood 
of wicked children. Two of them, " Malce " and 
" Maligne " were twins, and with them Salander got 
himself cheek by jowl, and they became colleagues 
in his plot. At once they began to beat up recruits; 
and no eye ever saw such scare-crows as the felows 
they collected. They enlisted all the idle, the pro-
fane, and the debauched, all the " odds and ends " 
of society, in such numbers, that they called them-
selves" vox populi." Salander appointed " Sneak" 
his aid-de-camp, and " Durtiwurk " his secretary, 
while " Professor Jelesy " was his chief adviser. 
" General Backbite," and" Colonel Pique," and Cap-
tains " Hint," " Inendo," and " Lurking Grudge," 
were among his officers. 
Those who joined had various reasons for desiring 
the destruction of the alabaster palace; and many 
who did not dare to join openly in the destruction 
of " Gudnaim," secretly rejoiced at the idea. Some 
thought its architecture too ornate, and disliked its 
Corinthian capitals ; others thought its parts out of 
proportion, while others, like the Duke D'Envy, 
thought it overshadowed their own inclosures. One 
said : " Well, well, if so and so is the case, I wish 
them all success ;" and another, " I don't know 
about this matter, but I will wait and see. The end 
will prove." 
Salander soon began to conceive that his scheme, 
which at first he knew was suggested by the evil 
one, was sacred, and himself a hero, in danger 
of being a martyr. He put on the sleekness of an 
arch hypocrite, and anointed himself with the oil of 
sanctimony. He read prayers in his camp, and his 
ragamuffins rose in his estimation to the dignity of 
knight-errants. As motley as they were, they were 
all united ; for their bond of union was the hoped for 
destruction of " Gudnaim." 
When " Wurthi " learned that the vassals of Duke 
D'Envy had come, he summoned " The Fairweather 
Guard," and sent a message to " Old Friend," to 
aid in the defence. But they came not. The enemy 
came in full blast. Blows rang on shield and hel-
met. The sun was darkened by spears and arrows, 
and plumes and banners trailed in dust. The arrows 
were from the arsenals of Duke D'Envy, poisoned 
with the gall of bitterness, and did terrible execu-
tion. The object of attack was not a fortress, but a 
simple alabaster palace, without moat, drawbridge, 
portcullis, buttresses, battlements, dungeons, engines, 
or munitions of war ; and soon " Gudnaim " fell a 
demolished ruin. Even Wurthi its possessor was 
wounded by one " Ingrat," and lay sipping a sweet 
cordial called " Good Conscience," but was not des-
tined long to survive. When he lost " Gudnaim," 
he often said, he lost his all. He turned his eyes 
toward the dark waste of waters which washes the 
shores of time, and soon saw light beaming in the 
distance. Far on the distant shore he saw " a house 
of many mansions," more beautiful than the alabas-
ter palace which he mourned ; while above the swell-
ing flood he beheld an angel, in the image of his 
dear " Stella," and, beckoning to him with an air of 
triumph, she held up, all flashing in the light, the 
LOST JEWEL. 
Hartz Castle is enveloped in gloom. The keeper 
of the castle " Goodman," hears a mysterious voice 
and fears to look within its recesses. The potion 
administered to the " Lord Conscienza," has lost its 
power, and he is waking up. " Goodman " is sum-
moned to a fearful reckoning. He falls on his face, 
confesses his culpability and pleads for mercy.—
Mercy is promised only on condition that lie recap-
ture the fiend Salander, and secure him hand and 
foot in irons. Goodman girded his loins, and with 
staff in hand, and knapsack on his back went forth in 
the dusty thoroughfares in search of the fugitive. 
Not a single house did he stop at where the culprit 
had not been. Everywhere he saw traces of the 
evil Salander had done, but could not again secure 
him. He returned, and confessed to the" Lord Con-
scienza " the fruitlessness of his search. That was 
to be expected, was the response ; for you might as 
well attempt to recapture the smoke that bursts from 
the flame. 
" Conscienza " then commanded " Goodman " to 
go and undo the evil " Salanderhad dune, seeing he 
could not secure him. And first Goodman went in 
search of the precious jewel of which the lady " Stel-
la" was robbed, when Salander escaped at the point 
of " Tungland." He looked for it in the town of 
" Drownthort." On reaching the great square, what 
was his horror to see a stake set up in the midst of 
Goodman confessed his great wrong, and his sin-
cere sorrow for the past, and inquired what he could 
do more. " Ask GOD to forgive you," said Consci-
enza. " By injuring your fellow men you have of-
fended him." Goodman fell on his knees, and prayed. 
" From that moment the clouds which had lowered 
above his house were rifted by a beam of brilliant sun-
shine, and the spirit of the scene was changed.—
Brotherly love was now the ruling passion of his 
heart. The grated windows are torn away from the 
Hartz Prison, which became a castle purged and 
cleansed of every stain ; and although some sacred 
things were entrusted to it, the ghost of " Evilthots" 
had forsaken it forever ; while as his days passed 
swiftly and the shades of night came down, " Hope 
like the Evening Star, rose up in the sky with a 
tremulous and serene lustre." 
Thus ends the quaint and cletiber allegory of " Sa-
lander and time Dragon," which teaches many an 
instructive lesson.

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
 
INNEMOMMIII 
and unrighteousness of men, we learn from Romans 
1:18. That indignation and wrath is the portion of 
those who obey riot the truth, we are assured in 
Rom. 2:8. That the wicked "shall drink of the 
wine of the wrath of God," we are told in Rev. 14:10, 
also that the vine of the earth shall be cast into the 
great " wine-press of the wrath of God," (v. 19), and 
finally, that there will be a " great day of his wrath," 
in Rev. 6:17. Let us now test the temporal millen-
nium on this point. The river of salvation makes 
glad the city of our God, the healing waters flow 
abundautly, till " like a sea of glory " they " spread 
from pole to pole;" but just as the waves of right-
eousness roll over the earth, down come the vials of 
wrath ! The praises of Immanuel are chanted by 
every breeze, and the melody of sacred song runs 
from heart to heart, till one mighty hallelujah dio-
rus encircles the globe, and the thunders of divine 
vengeance respond to the notes of praise ! The in-
cense of devotion, like a universal holocaust, to heav-
en ascends front all the earth ; and the dreadful ire of 
Jehovahi s kindled to a flame ! God places the period 
of wrath at the precise point where theologians place 
the dawn of millennial glory to the heathen word. 
1 see no escape from this dilemma. 
" And the time of the dead." This must sig-
nify either the literally or morally dead. Certainly 
riot the morally, that they should be converted, but 
the literally, " that they should be judged " and re-
warded, 
" That they should be judged." Can any one 
believe that the judgment here presented, preceded 
as it is by a reference to the resurrection of the 
dead, and followed by a reference to the retributions 
of eternity, alludes to the conversion of the world ? 
No, no, let God be true ; but every man liable to err. 
" And that thou shouldst give reward unto thy 
servants the prophets." But how can the prophets 
be rewarded without a resurrection? Will they re-
ceive a reward while sleeping in the dust? What 
saith the Scripture " Neither have they any more 
reward."—Ecc. 9:5. 
" And to the saints, and them that fear thy 
name, small and great." But where are the saints 
to be rewarded, not a part, but the entire body, as 
here expressed? Weeping Rachel is to be rewarded 
when her martyred " children shall come again from 
the land of the enemy."—Jer. 31:16. Says Jesus : 
" Thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of 
the just."—Luke 14:14. St. Paul assures us, that 
when the fire of the great day shall try every man's 
work, " if any man's work abide, lie shall receive a 
reward." In Rev. the reward promised to the seven 
churches, evidently refers to the coming of the Lord, 
and in chap. 22:12 Jesus says : " Behold I come 
quickly, arid my reward is with me, to give to every 
man according as his work shall be." And this is 
in keeping with Matt. 16:27 : " For the Son of man 
shall come in the glory of his Father, with his an-
gels ; and then he shall reward every man accord-
ing to his works." Now as the word is explicit on 
this subject, and points out specifically the period of 
retribution, why assign a different period for the con-
summation of Israel's hope ? 
" And shouldst destroy them that destroy the 
earth." 
In this declaration we have the impress of 
Jehovah enstamped on our exposition of the seventh 
trumpet ; for whatever may be predicated of other 
terms, surely there can be but one opinion in regard 
to destruction, unless Universalism be true. The view 
here presented is essentially the same as recorded in 
other portions of tire word. In Matt. 25th, the judg-
ment is represented by a separation of the sheep 
and goats,—the righteous go into everlasting life, 
and the wicked into everlasting punishment. In 2 
chess. 1st, by the saints entering into rest, and the 
wicked being punished with everlasting destruction. 
Thus, beloved brother, is every item in relation to 
the seventh trumpet, written in letters of living light, 
conspiring in perfect harmony to prove the coming of 
our King when the seventh trumpet sounds. Shall 
we not lift our heads and rejoice that our redemption 
draweth nigh 1 Every point presented stands im-
movable as an iron pillar ; arid when the strength of 
all is combined, they constitute a tower impregnable 
to the assaults of criticism. There iebut a single 
word that looks toward a temporal millennium, and 
that word is not found in the Greek. We cannot 
admit with that honest commentator, Thomas Scott, 
that these scenes commence with a reign of grace, 
and ultimate in the judgment, for the outpouring of 
wrath is the first event following the setting up of 
the kingdom ; neither can the sequel of these won-
ders be a temporal reign, for they terminate in the 
destruction of the ungodly. A critical analysis of 
the verse under consideration, will show the events 
to be simultaneous, and not consecutive. At the blast 
of this trumpet, it is said, thy wrath is conic, in the 
present tense ; and the subsequent parts of the sen-
tence, being connected back to wrath, the same thing 
is affirmed of them ; so that the grammatical con-
struction renders the events synchronous, and all to 
transpire when " the seventh trumpet shall begin to 
(Concluded from our last.) 
5. There is an explicit declaration, relating to the 
setting up of Christ's kingdom, in the 17th verse, 
viz., " thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and 
hast reigned ;" or as one writer translates it, " host 
obtained thy kingdom." This is parallel with the 
110th Psalm 3d. v.,." thy people shall be willing in 
the day of thy power." In this Psalm Jesus is rep-
resented as sitting at the right hand of the Father, 
till his enemies are made his "footstool." Then, in 
that day of his power, or day of his wrath (v. 5th), 
Lord, at his right hand, "shall strike through kings." 
" He shall judge among the heathen ; he shall fill 
the places with the dead bodies." 
Surely this is no 
dispensation of mercy, but an execution of judgment, 
and of " fiery indignation, that shall devour the ad-
versaries." To trace this a little farther, it is the 
same power that is vested in the Son of God by the 
decree of the Faller, recorded in the second Psalm. 
All power and dominion being committed to his hands, 
agreeably to v. 8, he is authorized to " break them 
with a rod of iron, and dash them to pieces like a 
potter's vessel."—v. 9. Critics have recently thrown 
much light on the. Hebraic expression, rendered 
" rod of iron." They inform us that the original 
word is not that which implies the sceptre of the 
magistrate, but the staff of the judge ; the former 
symbolizes civil power, the latter judicial authority. 
That this relates to the final executive judgment, is 
proved by Rev. 2:25-27---" But that which ye have 
already, hold fast till I come. And he that overcom-
eth, and keepeth my words unto the end, to hitn will I 
give power over the nations : (and he shall rule them 
with a rod of iron ; as the vessels of a potter shall 
they be broken in shivers,) even as I received of my 
Father." 
In this passage we have positive and une-
quivocal evidence, that the decree of the second Psalm, 
which by some is understood to be a sort of magna 
charta, conveying to the Messiah a title to the hea-
. then, as the subjects of his grace, does in fact con-
sign them to the universal jurisdiction of his iron 
rod, at his second coming to judge the world ; and 
the commission, which he received of his Father, is 
to be entrusted to the willing people, in the day of 
his power ; and almost the identical phraseology, in 
which the decree of the second Psalm is expressed, 
is also employed to express the destruction of the 
world. For when the Judge supreme rides forth on 
the white horse, the associate judges accompany 
him, " clothed in fine linen, white and clean ;" for 
" this honor have all the saints." Then will be ful-
filled Psa. 2:9—" Thou shalt break them with a rod 
of iron ; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a pot-
ter's vessel." And parallel passages, as Rev. 2:27, 
" And he shall rule them with a rod of iron ; as the 
vessel ofa potter shall they be broken to shivers ;" al-
so Rev. 19:15, " And out of his mouth goeth a sharp 
sword, that with it he should smite the nations, and 
lie shall rule them with a rod of iron." As if to place 
the question beyond dispute, in relation to the iron 
rod, he immediately subjoins, " and he treadeth the 
wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty 
God." 
Having reverted to the foreshadows of the coming 
event, we next approach the substance, and examine 
the events themselves. We proceed from the an-
nunciations that herald forth and usher in the dawn-
ing era, to ascertain, by the transpiring facts, the na-
ture of that glorious epoch, which causes heaven and 
earth to ring with shouts of triumphant praise and joy. 
" And the nations were angry." Assuredly 
this is no evidence of an universal reign of peace. 
But as the verb is in the past tense, I understand this 
clause to be put in antithesis to that which follows. 
It implies that during probationary time, the wrath 
and violence of the wicked have been exhibited against 
the government and people of God ; but now the tri-
umphs of the ungodly have an end. 
" And thy wrath is come." The time has now 
come for the turning of the tables. The heathen 
have " raged," and the people have imagined a vain 
thing. They have revolted from Jehovah's govern-
ment, they have broken the bands of moral obliga-
tion, and cast away the cords of the divine law.—
They have exercised their wrath in trying to extin-
guish the light of truth, and undermine the authority 
of God in the earth, and wear out the saints of the 
Most High ; but now " he will tread them in his 
anger, and trample them in hisfury ; for the day of 
vengeance is in his heart, and the year of his re-
deemed is come.—Isa. 63:3, 4. That the wrath of 
God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness 
sound." Why attempt to break down these ever-
lasting monuments of God's truth, to erect pillars 
of imagination in their stead? By what authority 
is the iron rod of vindictive justice, converted into a 
golden sceptre of grace 7—the dashing to pieces a pot-
ter's vessel, into its careful preservation?—the denun-
ciation of wo, into an annunciation of blessings 1—the 
finishing of the gospel dispensation, into the preva-
lence of its power ?—the everlasting kingdom, into a 
temporal reign 1—the fearful demonstrations of wrath, 
into endeared tokens of love ?—the resurrection of the 
dead, into the conversion of the living 1—the judgment 
of the great day, into the outpourings of the spirit ?—
the retribution of the saints, into the spread of the 
gospel?—and the destruction of the wicked into the 
salvation of the world? Why will men thus unsettle 
the very foundations of language, by reversing the 
terms of Scripture, and override the principles of 
exegetical law, till they leave the world of mind in 
chaos ? Says the Lord : " Wo unto them that call 
evil good " (margin, " that say concerning evil that 
it is good,") " and good evil ; th it put darkness for 
light, and light for darkness ; that put bitter for 
sweet, and sweet for bitter."—Isa. 5:20. Beware, 
dearly beloved, lest you be found among those proph-
ets of Israel, who see visions of peace for Jerusa-
lem, when God had' not spoken peace, and build up 
a wall untempered with scriptural mortar. I have 
no recriminations to retort upon those who have ca-
luminated us for our strict construction and firm ad-
hesion to the word. I do not regard them as crack-
brained fanatics, but certainly their theory, when ex-
exposed to the light of divine truth, is found to be 
cracked from centre to circumference. It is as if A 
should instruct B in relation to the points of the com-
pass, directing his eye toward the twilight, he calls 
that portion of the heavens west ; and then, pointing 
to the north star, he calls that direction north. But 
B insists that the twilight is in the eastern horizon, 
and the north star in the southern hemisphere. A 
will be sustained by astronomical authors, and the 
common understanding of man. So in this case, we 
are supported in our expositions of terms by the au-
thority of standard theological writers, and the usus 
Ioguendi of the world. In a matter of such diversity, 
it would appear that there must be either mental or 
moral obliquity somewhere ; but we will " judge 
nothing before the time, until the Lord come." 
Permit me here to suggest a few interrogatories. 
Why did Christians, in the pure primitive ages, look 
for tire personal advent of our Lord"! Why did the 
church, which had fallen away under the Papal hier-
archy, teach that the kingdom was to be organized in 
the present world ? Why did the great reformers, 
when the pure light of Christianity again shone upon 
the world, believe in the personal parousia of the 
Lord Why do cold-hearted and worldly-minded 
professors, at the present time, contend so strenuously 
against the literal reign, and in favor of a spiritual 
coming ? And why have the churches so generally 
complained, that, in parting with Advent believers, 
they have lost their best and most spiritual members? 
Why should not honest men interpret Scripture like 
any other book, holding parables to be parables, sym-
bols to be symbols, metaphors to be metaphors, and 
literal descriptions to be literal descriptions ; instead 
of putting,.I had almost said, the whole together into 
the alembic of criticism, and spiritualizing it into 
whatever ferm they please? Why transform the 
blessed Saviour into an angel of death, a rail-car, a 
steamboat, a printing-press, or whatever may strike 
one's fancy, as the second coming of our King ? Said 
a brother the other day, I doubt not Christ will 
come a thousand times before morning, and the world 
not be burned either; and all this while the Scrip-
ture limits his advents to the number two. There is 
no end to the idle vagaries that have been the legiti-
mate offspring of spiritualization. Why not under-
stand, in relation to the conning age, that the earth is 
the earth, the Lord is the Lord, his coming is his 
coming, the first resurrection is the first resurrection, 
&c., &c.? Why spiritualize away the foundations 
of our hope, and vaporize the solid globe, and atten-
uate into thin air the saints, and banish them from 
all the glory of God in creation ? Let me say, in 
the language of your son Edward : " The point of 
prophetic chronology at which the world has now 
arrived,-is the interval between the sounding of the 
sixth and seventh trumpets." The awful scenes of 
the last trump are rolling up in the moral heavens, 
and darkening the sky ; the lightnings of heaven's 
vengeance have flashed fearfully ; and the thunders 
have made the pillars of the earth to tremble. Be 
not, I entreat you, a Franklin's rod, to drsw off' si-
lently the contents of the surcharged cloud, and thus 
put a quietus on the troubled conscience of the sin-
ner. Do not think the world can be conquered by 
moral heroism of man. Your moral energy, your 
Sampson strength, will depend ma you being identi-
fied with God's truth, and the order of his own 
economy. On your decision may hinge the future 
destiny of thousands. With great respect, I am 
yours, &c.

of slighted privileges, and that day of reckoning arid

Reader, do you remember that that day is to be 
" a day of darkness, of wasteness,—so as there is 
none like it, a day of utter dismay and terror,—so 
that " all faces will gather blackness?" It will be a 
day of burning—of recompense. No one can com-
plain that they had not known their duty, nor had 
time to attend to it. No. " God is long-suffering 
to usward, not willing that any should perish, but 
that all should come to repentance." Yes, he is 
bearing with the unfaithful still ; but " he is not slack 
concerning his promise, although men seek to put it 
far from them, and try to put the subject out of their 
thoughts, and argue that it will not come in our day. 
All this will not retard the progress of time,—it will 
roll on, and the work which God designs to be ac-
complished in this age is every day being done,—all 
the jots and tittles of prophecy are being fulfilled, 
whether men observe it or not ; and through the 
watchman may say that " the vision that he seeth is 
for a great while to come," it only serves to prepare 
the way to fulfil Peter's assertion,—" The day of 
the Lord shall come as a thief in the night, in the 
which the heavens shall pass away with a great 
noise, the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the 
earth also, and the works therein shall be burned up." 
Yes, as a thief,—unexpectedly, when no such event 
is looked for, when all is supposed to be secure. But, 
alas ! it is too late. Bow apt the figure, and how 
awfully will it be realized by the multitudes who do 
not see signs of the dreadful day ! How terribly 
overwhelming to those who are crying, " Peace and 
safety :" " sudden destruction overtakes them, arid 
they shall not escape." With what sudden and dread-
ful consternation will that day burst in upon the 
" evil servant, who is saying in his heart," (and 
often to his congregation,) " My Lord delayeth his 
coming !" And not only these, but all " sinners in 
Zion," will be " afraid, fearfulness will surprise " 
all " hypocrites." Then will hope be fled forever, 
and they will seek to hide in the holes and dens of 
the earth, and clefts of the rocks; then will they en-
gage in solemn prayer, more solemn than many pray-
ers offered by them here, and with as much success. 
But they then pray to rocks and mountains, saying, 
" Fall on us, arid hide us from the face of him who 
sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the 
Lamb, for the great day of his wrath is come, and 
who shall be able to stand ?" Think of the contrast 
between those praying to be hid from tire sight of 
God, and those who long to see him, and to whom is 
given the promise (Rev. 3:21)—" To him that over-
cometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne." 
But how do they overcome 1 " By the blood of the 
Lamb, and the word of their testimony." Contem-
plate the contrast between those who " shall go away 
into everlasting punishment," and " the pure in 
heart, who shall see God." Hark ! catch that awful 
sound as it thunders through all the earth, " Depart, 
ye cursed, into everlasting fire." Compare it with 
the sweet voice of a lovely King, saying, " Come, 
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom pre-
pared for you from the foundation of the world." 
0, let us consider these things while we may be 
benefited, mark well our steps, be clothed with all 
the armor of God, be sober, vigilant, " looking fur 
and !tasting unto the day of God." Let us be ready 
at all times, for sudden as the lightning's flash the 
trumpet will sound, the dead in Christ awake, the 
living saints changed, arid taken up from the univer- 
sal deluge. 
I. C. WELLCOME. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
THE ADVENT HERALD.

world, when iniquity abounds, and the love of many 
is waxing cold, who pursue a consistent course, and 
are not afraid to declare the whole counsel of God. 
May such continue faithful unto death, or until the 
Nobleman's return. 
I still sympathize with you in your trials, and 
would say with David, " The Lord hear thee in the 
day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob de-
fend thee, send thee help from the sanctuary, and 
strengthen thee out of Zion." Yours, in hope of 
eternal life. 
Bro. A. SHERWIN writes from Lowell (Mass.), under date of 
Jan. 5th, 1852: 
BRo. H1MES :—Although we may have been mis-
taken somewhat in our calculations relative to the 
time of the advent ; still, it seems evident, from the 
sure word of prophecy, that those who are looking 
for the speedy establishment of universal republican. 
ism, are doomed to certain disappointment. But 
amid.the distress of nations with perplexity, and un-
clean spirits, who are stirring up the inhabitants of 
the world fur the final conflict—the great battle of 
Armageddon—we may look up and lift up our heads, 
knowing that our redemption is nigh, and the period 
when the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness 
of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be 
given to the people of the saints of the Most High, 
whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, which 
shall not be destroyed. This is not the triumph of 
republicanism, but the personal reign of Christ, with 
his immortal saints, on the renewed earth. No doubt 
there are elements at work which will not be quieted 
until the last day. Blessed is that servant, whom 
the Lord, when he coined', shall find watching. 
Bro. T. J. BALDWIN writes from Olcott (New York), under 
date of Dec. 30th, 1851 
DEAR BRO. H1MES :—I had been much prejudiced 
against the doctrine of the Advent, but I have had 
the privilege, for 'about six months past, of reading 
your paper, sent me by an Advent brother, by which 
I have fitund, that the new doctrine of Christ's second 
coining in person, to reign with his all his saints for 
a thousand years, is an old doctrine that 1 have been 
reading for a number of years; and am quite sur-
prised that I was so blind as not to see it, when the 
Saviour and his apostles so often refet red to it. That 
his coming could not be a spiritual coming is evident, 
because he was here in person, went away in person, 
and not in spirit; then how could it be inferred that 
his coming would be a spiritual one? The more I 
read your paper, the richer does it appear. I do not 
feel willing to do without it, as out of its treasures I 
am able to bring out things now and old, which ena-
ble me better to know how " to give to every one that 
asketh me of the reason of my hope, with meekness 
and fear." My soul rejoices in the Lord while I am 
writing my views to you. I want that religion that 
comes from heaven, and which will not mix with this 
. world, so that when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed 
from heaven in flaming fire, I may be able to stand 
and rejoice. 
Bro. E. SPRAGUE wrires from Coal Run, 0. :—
" We have a little Advent church in this vicinity, 
numbering twenty-five. We meet every other Sun-
day. Sometimes we have preaching, and feel that 
the Lord is with us to strengthen and encourage 
us on our pilgrimage. We wish to be patient unto 
the coming of the Lord." 
Bro. ELIJAH ROtIPAtTS writes from Rochester (N. II.), under 
date of Juts. 2d, 1652 : 
Hilo. NIMES :—In a short time we hope to have a 
plaee in which to hold our meetings on the Sabbath, 
and have it understood that when a preacher comes 
this way he may know where to make an appoint-
ment. In the meantime, we would he glad to have a 
call from any good brother who would do honor to 
the cause. 
THE NEW YEAR. 
Hark ! methinks I hear around me 
Notes of joy and gladness break, 
Or, in sweeter tones of sadness, 
Harps unusued to mirth awake. 
Yes, it is earth's welcome sounding 
To the dawning, rising year, 
Even now the light is breaking, 
Soon its morning will appear. 
List'ner, pause, while yet that music 
Stealeth gently through the air, 
And reflect on what it telleth— 
What the tidings it doth bear. 
Doth it tell what care or sorrow 
May befal thy humble lot ; 
Christian, look beyond earth's pleasures, 
Bear the cross—despise it not. 
Or, with syren notes of gladness, 
Would they lure thee back to earth, 
And ensnare thy soul's affections, 
'Mid its scenes of light and mirth 
Heed thou not that voice, though charming, 
Think of all thy Saviour's love, 
And for joys that are enduring, 
Fix thy heart's best hopes above. 
And though oft amid earth's trials, 
Darkness may obscure thy way, 
Soon, if still thou lookest upward, 
DaWns a bright, eternal day. 
Welcome, then, with heartfelt gladness, 
Now the coming, new-horn year, 
For, ere yet its dawning closeth, 
Christ, thy Saviour, may appear.

OBITUARY. 
" I am the RESURRECTION and the LIFE he who believeth in ME, 
though he should die, yet he will LIVE and whoever liyeth and be-
lieveth in me, will NEVER die."—John it: 25, 26. 
DIED, in Boston, Jan. 5th, 1852, Bro. JOHN P. 
AMES, aged 63 years. Our departed brother was a 
native of England, where in earlier years he listened 
to the calls of the gospel, and embracing Christianity, 
connected himself with the M. E. church : maintain—
ing his position as a zealous, active member, and la-
boring in this connection in the capacity of a local 
preacher. From England, about twenty years since, 
he came to this country ; arid in 1844, from residing 
in the city of New York, he removed to Boston, 
where he has since lived as a faithful Christian, and 
a staunch and prominent member of the Advent 
church at Chardon-street, until his hour of dissolu-
tion. In 1843 he embraced the doctrine of the pre-
millennial and speedy coming °four blessed Redeemer, 
together with other kindred truths ; and being a man 
of excellent judgment, possessing a vigorous and well 
instructed mind, and exhibiting emphatically the 
character of a Bible student as well as that of a Chris-
tian, he continued to the last joyful and unwavering 
in this faith, and his cherished name will add another 
to the nearly completed roll of the righteous dead 
who like him have fallen with the armor on, and in 
glad hope of a better, and first resurrection. Bro. A. 
was a living epistle and monument of the truth of the 
Christian religion ; always at his post in the prayer 
circle, always instructive, energetic; always active 
and alive with the power of God, yet full of sweet-
ness and love. We miss him very much, arid feel in-
deed that in his death a good man has fallen—a pil-
lar is removed. Fot a number of months he has been 
confined and gradually wasting away ; his disease—
either a tumor in the stomach, or an inveterate case 
of dyspepsia—occasioning hirn great suffering, which 
he bore submissively and unrepiningly. The physi-
cian's skill was unavailing, and kind friends wept 
and sympathized in vain. But amid it all his calm 
soul was undaunted, and we would that the sceptic 
could have witnessed the unflinching faith and holy 
courage with which, sustained and supported by the 
unfailing promises of God, he met the insidious ap-
proach of the king of terrors. He never doubted. To 
his daughters, who affectionately watched over him, 
he would frequently quote the promises of Scripture, 
and exhorting them and all others who visited him 
fervently, would with smiling countenance ejaculate 
the praises of God. To one he said, " Look to Jesus 
alone, and do not doubt." To another, " I know he 
will not leave me." To another his last words were, 
" Go tell the brethren to praise the Lord." Fre-
quently exclaiming with much emphasis, " Lord Jesus 
receive my spirit," and leaning upon the arm of the 
Beloved he approached the dark waters, and when at 
length the death chill entered the system, and the 
tongue was nearly palsied, in answer to our words, 
" Bro. A. you will enter the river sooner or later, Jesus 
will go with you ;" the uplifted hands, the speaking 
eye, and smiling features exclaimed, am ready." 
He has gone from the living, but with his companion, 
who long since sank from the shores of time before 
him, we hope to greet him again in a home from which 
death will be forever excluded. May his afflicted 
daughters and far distant sons be permitted through 
the love of Christ to dwell there with him. Let us 
in faith wait the soon expected hour, when, arrayed 
in the garments of immortality, bright angels shall 
convey him from Mount Auburn, the city of the dead, 
to Jerusalem, the city of the living God. 
D. T. TAYLOR, JR. 
DEATH has been here and torn another sister from 
our side. For three years past, none who met with 
us and held the like precious faith seemed so bloom-
ing in health, and so likely for life, as EMMA JOHN-
soN. Yet the enemy Death touched her, and she 
bowed her head before time king of terrors, and in a 
few weeks took her departure from us. She died at 
Holbeck, in the borough of Leeds, on Thursday, the 
9th of October last, aged 26 years. She was brought 
to a saving knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus 
in December, 1848, under the preaching of the Ad-
vent doctrine, from which time she became an exem-
plary Christian, and exhibited every token of a re-
generate heart. Bold in the defence of the troth 
which, in these last days, she believed ought to be 
made prominent, she shrunk not from investigation 
and arguments, resting firmly on the word of God, 
and endured scoffs and rebukes patiently, looking for 
the rest that remains. Poor Emma worked in a flax 
manufactory ; but her God was there, and her Bible 
was there. She often read her Bible in the mill 
when opportunity served, and argued from it the cor-
rectness of her views ; and when those around her 
did not assent to the proof adduced, she insisted on 
them reading the passages for themselves. But now 
it is with sorrow that many of her work fellows con-
fess that they laughed at her earnestness, and scoffed 
at her views. Her Bible bears evidence of close in-
vestigation. She was much respected by all who 
knew her, and those with whom she had Christian 
fellowship deeply regret their loss. But she sleeps 
in Jesus. From the commencement of her illness, 
she had a strong, desire to depart and he with Christ, 
which she thought would be tar better than remain-
ing in the flesh, amidst the trials and temptations to 
which she was subjected. A female friend, who 
often visited her in her affliction, frequently asked 
her the state of her mind, when she almost invaria-
bly said, that " she rested on Christ." Before she 
died, Bro. Hough asked her on what ground she 
rested her hope of salvation, when she immediately 
replied, " On the blood of Christ." Her sufferings 
were very severe, and she was greatly tempted ; but 
she endured, " resting on Christ." She often cried 
out, " What must I do?" and one night, as she grew 
near her end, when the intensity of her sufferings 
seemed more than she could endure, she said to a 
sister, " 0, Mrs, V., what must I do ?" Sister V. 
replied, " Well, you must have patience." She re-
plied, rather sharply, " You always say so ;" but 
after a while she became more composed, and said, 
" Yes, you are right, I lutist have patience." Mrs. 
V. said, " Have you forgotten that sweet verse we 
used to sing at the room—' When nearer still she 
draws to land ?' " She at once recollected it, and, 
while a sweet calmness and ray of joy settled on her 
features, she eagerly seized the pleasing theme, and 
said, " Yes—' More eager all her powers expand ;'" 
and as her strength would permit, repeated the re-
mainder of the verse. 
I shall never forget how she 
seemed to defy disease and suffering, and tried to 
live above it, and still seemed quite reconciled to it. 
Nothing could produce that brit the grace of God in 
the heart. A sweet thought often present in her 
mind, and often expressed, was, " Heaven's my 
home, heaven's my home." She was very fond of a 
hymn of which these words formed the chorus. She 
was interred in Holbeck church-yaftl, very near the 
place where we laid Sister Adams on Christmas day, 
1849. Over her grave was sung, by a large con-
course of people, with sweet melody and solemnity, 
that hymn of Dr. Watts, " How long shall death the 
tyrant reign?" 
" Softly within that peaceful resting-place, 
We place their wearied limbs; and bid the clay 
Press lightly on them, till the night be past, 
And the far east give note of coming day. 
" The day of re-appearing ! how it speeds ! 
He who is true and faithful speaks the word ; 
Then shall we ever be with those we love,—
Then shall we be forever with the Lord. 
" The shout is heard ; the archangel's voice goes 
forth; 
" The trumpet sounds ; the dead awake and sing ; 
The living put on glory ; one glad band, 
They hasten up to meet their coming King."

GREAT COUGH REMEDY 
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, 
FOR THE CURE OF 
Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping-Cough, Croup, 
Asthma, and Consumption. 
IN offering to the community this justly-celebrated remedy for 
diseases of the throat and lungs, it is not our wish to trifle with 
the lives or health of the afflicted, but frankly to lay before them the 
opinions of distinguished men, and some of the evidences of its suc-
cess, from which they can judge for themselves. We sincerely 
pledge ourselves to make no wild assertions or false statements of 
its efficacy, nor will we hold out any hope to suffering humanity 
which facts will not warrant. 
Many proofs are here given, and we solicit an inquiry from the 
Public into all we publish, feeling assured they will find them per-
fectly reliable, and the medicine worthy their best confidence and 
patronage. 
From the Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Materia 
Boudoirs Collegt. 
Dear Sir—I delayed answering the receipt of your preparation, 
until I had an opportunity of witnessing its effec,j,s in my own 
nit-tiny, or in the families of my friends. 
This 1 have now done with a high degree of satisfaction, in cases 
both of adults and children. 
1 have found it, as its ingredients show, a powerful remedy for 
colds, and coughs, and pulmonary diseases. 
Brunswick, Me., Feb. 5, 1847. PARKER CLEAVELAND, M. D. 
From an Overseer in the Hamilton Mills, Lowell. 
Dr. J. C. Ayer-1 have been cured of the worst cough I ever had 
in my life, by your Cherry Pectoral, and Lever tail, when I have 
opportunity, of recommending it to others. Yours, respectfully, 
Lowell, Aug. 10, 1849. 
S. D. ERERSON. 
irr Read the following, and see if this medicine is worth a trial. 
'this patient had become very feeble, and the effect of the medicine 
was unmistakably distinct : 
" U. S. Hotel, Saratoga Springs, July 5,1549. 
" Dr..I. C. Ayer: Sir—I have been afflicted with a paintillaffec 
tion of the lungs, and all the symptoms of settled consumption, for 
more than a year. I could find no medicine that would reach my 
ease, until I commenced the use of your Cherry Pectoral, which 
gave me gradual relief, and I have been steadily gaining nip strength 
till my health is well nigh restored. 
While using your medicine, I had the gratification of miring with 
it my reverend friend, Mr. 'Prot-nen, of Sumpter District, who had 
been suspended from his parochial duties by a severe attack of bron-
chitis. I have pleasure in certifying these facts to you, and am, sir, 
" Yours respectfully, J. F. CALHOUN, of South Carolina." 
Ej- The following was one of the worst of cases, which thephy-
sicians and friends thought to be incurable consumption : 
" Chester, Pa., Ang. 22,1846. 
".t. C. Ayer : Sir—I was taken with a terrible cough, brought on 
by a cold, in the beginning of last February, and was confined to my 
tied more than two months. Coughing incessantly night and day, I 
became ghastly and pale, tny eyes were sunken and glassy, and ntv 
breath very short. Indeed, I was rapidly failing, and in such dis-
tress for breath, that but little hope of my recovery could be enter-
tained. While in this situation, a friend of mine, (the Rev. John 
Keller, of the Methodist church,) brought me a bottle of your 
Cherry Pectoral, which 1 tried more to gratify him than from any 
expectation of obtaining relief Its good effect induced me to con-
tinue its use, and I soon found my health much improved. Now in 
three months, I tun well and strong, and can attribute my cure only 
to your great medicine.

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
New TRACT.-The Approaching Crisis,-not a Political 
renovation of the nations, but the establishment of the king-
dom of God,-shown by an exposition of the 20th of Reve-
lation, and corresponding scriptures. We are preparing a 
tract on the above subject, which we hope to have out in a 
few weeks. 
Since our last, the British steamer Cambria has arrived at 
New York, with three days later news. 
Two great events had transpired in the course of the few 
days preceding the departure of the steamer, each capable of 
seriously influencing the character of all commercial opera-
tions. First, the retirement from the British Ministry of the 
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Lord Palmerston, and the 
other the election of Louis Napoleon, by a large majority, as 
President of France for ten years. A temporary disarrange-
ment of the various markets, and the decline of prices in 
many occurred ; but when it became known that Lord Gran-
ville was to succeed Lord Palmerston, confidence became in 
some measure restored. 
The resignation of Lord Palmerston created the greatest 
amazement in the whole nation. This astounding act is im-
puted to the dissensions which were known to exist in the 
Cabinet for several months, and was precipitated by the sig-
nificant reception and emphatic avowal of opinion to the 
Kossuth deputation, to whom his Lordship used language by 
no means complimentary to the absolutists of Europe. The 
fearless position assumed by his Lordship proved distasteful 
to the majority of the Ministry, arid hence the result.. This 
has been the all-prevailing topic of conversation at this fes-
tive season, and had created universal sensation. 
Among the rumored causes of Lord Palmerston's secession 
from the Cabinet, was that of a difference of opinion upon 
the abstract question of the French revolution, though the 
real cause is not likely to be known before the meeting of 
Parliament. 
FRANCE.-The all-engrossing topic of the Presidential 
election was occupying the French mind, to the exclusion of 
all others. The President was, throughout the whole of 
France, in possession of an overwhelming majority, which 
was reported as likely to be greater than that of 1848. Nine 
or ten to one seem to be generally the odds in his favor. The 
poll of sixty-eight departments, though incomplete, gave 
540,000 in favor of Louis Napoleon, to 600,000 against hint; 
and the telegraphic report from Paris on the 17th ult. gave 
the votes of eighty-one departments, of which twenty-three 
were complete, giving 6,011,000 in favor of the President, 
and 709,000 against him. 
Many of the Members of the Assembly have been set at 
liberty, and much speculation was indulged in as to the new 
Press law to be shortly promulgated. The best informed 
think that each journal would have to deposit a certaim sum 
with the Government as security for their good behavior. 
Old Time Winters. 
In 1664 the cold was so intense, that the Thames river, in 
England, was covered with ice sixty-one inches thick. Al-
most all the birds perished. 
In 1693 the cold was so excessive, that the famished 
wolves entered Vienna and attacked beasts, and even men. 
In 1695 many were frozen to death in Germany, and 1699 
was nearly as bad. 
In 1709 occurred that famous winter called, by distinction, 
" the cold winter." All the rivers and lakes were frozen, and 
even the sea for several miles front the shore. The ground 
was frozen nine feet deep. Birds and beasts were struck 
dead in the fields, and men perished by thousands in their 
houses. In the south of France, the wine plantations were 
almost destroyed, nor have they yet recovered that fatal dis-
aster. The Adriatic sea was frozen, and even the Mediter-
ranean about Genoa. The citron groves in the finest parts 
of Italy suffered severely. 
In 1716 the cold was so intense, that people travelled 
across the straits from Copenhagen to the province of Seuia, 
in Sweden. 
In 1726, in Scotland, multitudes of cattle and sheep were 
buried in the snow. 
Iu 1740 the winter was scarcely inferior to that of 1709. 
The snow lay ten feet deep in Spain and Portugal. The 
Znyder Zee was frozen over, and thousands of people went 
over it. The lakes in England were also frozen. 
In 1744 the winter was very cold. Snow fell in Portugal 
to the depth of twenty-three feet on a level. 
In 1754-5 the winters were very severe. In England, the 
strongest ale, exposed to the air in a glass, was covered with 
ice one-eighth of an inch thick. 
In 1771 the Elbe was frozen to the bottom. 
Id 1774-5 the winters were uncommonly severe. The 
Little Belt was frozen over. 
In 1776 the Danube bore ice five feet thick below Vienna. 
Vast numbers of the feathered and finny tribes perished. 
From 1800 to 1812 the winters were remarkably cold, par-
ticularly the latter in Russia, which proved so disastrous to 
the French army. 
Old Prophecy. 
The following is cut from an old paper, which we give for 
what it is worth. There are many such prophecies in exist-
ence, by monks of the middle ages. 
(Translated from the German by C. Groff) 
" When I take a strict examination of the quality and 
movements of the heavenly bodies, I find in all the region by 
the movements of the stars, that this mighty empire shall 
remain under its present government a long tirne,-till the 
year A. D. 1796. Then will a hero, through manhood and 
virility, reach the two-headed eagle, and conduct the empire 
praiseworthily, and conquer the surrounding nations with 
most desperate sway ; and continue to conquer till after the 
commencement of the 19th century-then he will fall, and a 
general peace be established till A. D. 1827. Then will con-
fusion and rebellion begin in all quarters ; then will the red 
lion rise against the two-beaded eagle, then will the white 
swan, with a powerful eagle from a dark valley in the \Vest, 
unite, and rise fiercely against him, and rule the empire for 
many years, till the Almighty God, with his unchangeable 
wisdom, will make an end thereof. Then will the prophecy 
of Daniel go no further ; and then you will see the end of 
Nebuchadnezzar's dream.that the end of the world is at hand. 
(Signed) F. SEABALD. 
" Mezzig, Nov. 24th, A. D.1008." 
Napoleon. 
The N. Y. Home Journal contains the fallowing extract 
from a letter written soon after the late revolution in Paris. 
It is indeed true that there is much in a name :-" The rev-
erence for his name-the name of NAPOLEON-has estab-
lished itself into what is in effect a religion-a religion 
whose worship sinks deeper into the hearts of his admirers 
than any other in existence. One of the doctrines of this 
religion is fate-destiny-a sort of predestination, which or-
dains the success of those who believe in it with faith. 
Louis Napoleon himself believes. But a few days since he 
said to the Governor of the Palace of St. Cloud, who ex-
pressed the hope of his re-election to the Presidency, I be-
lieve in my star.' This belief is the sphere of action. His 
opponents are removed from every office in the land. None 
but those who have given in their adhesion are in power. 
The army, by Ae, is his almost to a man ; his well laid 
plan has secured the provinces ; and his success, which, in 
France, is held more inviolably sacred than right or constitu-
tion-I might almost say than liberty itself-has won for 
him admiration and adhesion from his opponents, gratitude 
from the timid and the lovers of peace, and awe from his 
enemies." 
Rome's Forebodings. 
A correspondent of the N. Y. independent writes from 
England as follows :-" Still the voice of wailing comes 
from Italy. Blood, and groans, and tears, are the portion of 
the people. Cruelty and barbarity in the gross, and in par-
ticular and personal cases, are exhibited in every letter from 
Italy. In Rome, the Pope and cardinals appear to suffer 
from intermittent panic. The apparent change of policy of 
the French President fills them with alarm, which the assur-
ances of the French General do not dispel. They are 
alarmed, too, by a new prophetess-a somnambulist, or clair-
voyant-who titters mourning, lamentation, and coming woe 
to Rome. The Pope himself has listened to these utter-
ances." 
Congressional Banquet to Kossuth. 
The banquet given by Members of the two branches of 
Congress to KOSSUTH, took place in Washington on the 7th. 
Nearly three hundred persons sat down to dinner. Among 
those present was Mr. Webster. Mr. King, President of 
the Senate, presided. 
Kossuth, in his speech, said, as Cyneas stood among the 
Senators of Rome, which controlled the world, thus, full of 
reverence and admiration, he stood among the Legislators of 
the new capitol, whither the spirit of the old capitol had fled. 
He contrasted the old world with the new, and in surpassing 
eloquence portrayed the exalted historical character of the 
Hungarian people. 
He alluded to the splendid career of the United States, 
and said that they had conquered more in a few years by 
principle than Rome had in centuries by arms ; that the 
principles of this Republic were destined to conquer the 
world. His hope for Europe was not in consolidation, but in 
the confederation of states, like ours, for that fair play was 
indispensable. We have it not in Europe. 
Said Kossuth, Mr. Clay, thirty years ago said that Paris 
was transferred to St. Petersburg. What say you now if 
told that St. Petersburg is transferred to Paris I All Europe 
was but an appendix to Russia. A terrible and a foreboding 
silence reigned in Europe. Even Albion was sorrowful. But 
God's will be done. 
He fervently hoped that the United States would pro-
nounce in favor of nou-intervention. Such a declaration 
would secure fair play, and war would not follow. There 
was no freedom for Europe until Hungary was freed. " Free-
dom or death," was the watch-word of his countrymen. If 
they perished, history would record that it was because there 
was none to protect the law of nations. 
American Republicanism, said Kossuth, was destined for 
the whole European continent. His coming here was not a 
failure, as it had been announced. He and his country would 
forever remember us. 
Kossuth was interrupted during his speech by repeated 
bursts of applause, and at its close lie was greeted by nine 
cheers and music. 
To a toast-" The Secretary of State : his sympathies 
were as broad as his intellect. was profound "-Mr. Webster 
responded, and heartily joined in the welcome,and said their 
sympathy would exert a mighty influence in Europe. Let it 
go forth, borne on all the wings of the heavens. The public 
opinion of an intelligent and free nation was strong enough 
to shake the most powerful throne on earth. 
Mr. Webster showed on what ground nationality was 
based, and said that Hungary possessed all the rights and 
qualifications of a distinct nationality. He concluded by an 
eloquent declaration of the " Hands-off" principle, and re-
affirmed the sentiments he uttered on the Greek revolution 
twenty-four years ago. 
Messrs. Gentry, Douglass, and Cass followed. The latter 
said that he was ready to pass the declaration of the " Hands 
off" doctrine in Congress to-morrow, and maintain it. 
Kossuth responded to the toast of " Turkey," and pro-
claimed universal friendship for Turkey. Her interests were 
identified with Hungary. 
Jewish Disabilities.-The interesting question, whether a 
Jew is entitled to a seat in the British Parliament, is in a fair 
way to be determined legally. Mr. Salmons, who was 
elected some months since to Parliament, has been prose-
cuted to recover from him three several penalties of £500, 
for having sat and three times voted in the House of Com-
mons, without having taken the oath of abjuration in the 
form prescribed by law. 
Failure of Kossuth's Prediction respecting 
France. 
At the banquet in Philadelphia, KOSSUTH said :-" It is 
very probable that even the cunning manoeuvre of election 
voting was carried in passive silence, scarcely troubled by 
seine unconnected outburst of isolate indignation-nay, it is 
even probable that even Louis Napoleon Bonaparte had the 
majority of the given votes, but mark well, gentlemen, the 
majority of the given votes, but not of the nation. The ma-
jority of the people have not voted-it has not accepted the 
arbitrary battle-field which ridiculous ambition offered to it. 
The majority of the nation has pronounced by abstaining from 
voting, and that abstinence you will see to prove the most ef-
fective protestation against the ambitious usurper. That rs 
my impression of what has happened on the 20th of this 
month, appointed tsar voting by the usurper-had it happened 
otherwise, then the majority of the nation has voted against 
him. I am sure of it. • In both cases, we are but at the be. 
ginning. Those who look for peace at any price, mind my 
words, without Louis Napoleon's impious stroke, there was 
yet a possibility that the church-yard peace of oppression 
might go on for a while. Now the alarm bell has rung,-
war has broken out." 
In publishing the above two weeks since, we added the 
following remark : " Another steamer, or the next following, 
will prove the truth or fallacy of Kossuth's opinion, as to the 
result in France." 
When Louis Napoleon was before elected, and the entire 
nation voted, he astonished everybody by receiving six mil-
lions of votes-three-fourths of the whole number cast. The 
returns of the present election show that his vote, if any-
thing, is even larger than before ! That nation has proved 
itself just fit to be controlled by a usurper. 
On learning the result, Kossuth in a speech to the clergy 
of the District of Columbia said : 
" Moments have brought changes. Even now in the fate 
of Europe, perhaps unlocked-for, there are some consoling, 
smile giving hope for the future, but some there are indeed 
very sorrowful. I must confess one thing I had not expected 
- that of which we received news yesterday-that the 
French nation has indeed given its vote and pronounced for 
the maintenance of the usurpation of Louis Napoleon. I had 
had expected that perhaps the majority of the people would 
pronounce by silence, by not partaking in the vote. There 
my expectations prove not to be true. Well, I have not the 
arrogance to believe that I can read the events on every page 
of destiny-yet, notwithstanding this, I feel consoled by the 
consideration that the more events, in the midst of the French 
nation, go on in the way which is connected with the disap-
pointment of the expectation of humanity, the more the ini-
portance of my own country rises to a higher level." 
Crime in Texas. 
The Galveston Journal, in noticing the charge of Judge 
Buckley, of the District Court, then in session in that place, 
says :-" In the course of his charge the Judge observed, 
that there was no country inhabited by the Anglo-Saxon race, 
in which there was so little regard to law and order as in 
this State ; and that while her laws were superior to those 
of her sister States, she was overrun by a lawlessness which 
should suffuse with shame every high-minded citizen. He 
continued. I am still a young man-and a much younger 
Judge-hut during the lour years that I have been tin the 
bench, there have been between fifty and sixty cases of mur-
der before the ; and if in each of the twelve Judicial Dis-
tricts in the State there has been a like number, then there 
have been upwards of six hundred cases of murder in four 
years-showing a state of things unequalled in any country ; 
and that of these six hundred cases, not six of them had 
been found guilty by the jimmy before which they had been 
tried. It is not possible to suppose that in all these cases 
there was a deficiency in evidence, and the only conclusion 
to which I can arrive is, that the juries must have forgotten 
or disregarded their oaths.' He also traced the rise of mobs 
to the dereliction of duty by the sante body-showing that if 
the citizens of the State could not receive protection from 
the Courts of Justice, they must, of necessity, take the pun-
ishment of the guilty into their own hands." 
Note from Bro. Himes. 
Evening of Dec. 31st I attended a watch-meeting with the 
Advent church in Hartford, Ct. Notwithstanding a heavy 
snow-storm, a good audience assembled, who gave the best 
attention. I preached a discourse from 1 Tim. 6: 13-16. 
After an explanation of the text, a general view of the world 
and the church was presented, in which the signs of this 
time were noticed, add our hearts were encouraged by the 
blessed assurance, that God would soon dash the contending 
and confused nations to pieces, put aside the tyrants and des-
pots of earth, and reveal to the universe the "only Poten-
tate, the King of kings and Lord of lords." May God hasten 
the happy day. Bro. Griffin followed in an excellent dis-
course on the kingdom, and the preparation for it. At the 
close of this sermon, (about half-past eleven o'clock,) Bro. 
Fassett invited all present to unite and spend the remaining 
moments of the year in solemn consecration to God. After 
prayers, (the new year having dawned upon 1180 the first 
moments of 1852 were spent in singing the excellent hymn : 
" Come let us anew our journey pursue, 
Roll round with the year." 
The season was pleasant, and I hope that it may prove a 
blessing to all who were present. 
Jan. 1st I delivered a lecture in the City Hall in Bridge-
port. A considerable number were present, although the 
hall was not filled. The public here cannot be reached as in 
some places. There is a liberal and devoted little church 
here that deserves success. May the Lord send them pros-
perity. 
Jan. 2d I commenced a course of lectures in the new Ad• 
vent chapel in the Seventh Avenue in this city, of which I 
will give some account in my next.

" The Sheaf; or the Work of God in the Soul, as illus- 
trated in the personal experience of Mrs. Cordelia Thomas. 
Boston : Published by Henry V. Degen, No. 7 Cornhill." 
The design of this book seems to be to correct an error 
that many make, in regarding the beginning of a life of holi-
ness, as its maturity. The writer seems however to have 
gone into another error, in supposing, the warfare may be ac-
complished before the termination of the present life, an er- 
ror which our observation has shown to lead to spiritual 
pride, self-righteousness, and many fanatical tendencies. 
We have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of a 
copy of the Second Annual Report of the American Bible Un-
ion, published Oct. 2d, 1851.
