GOD IN ALL, AND ALL IN GOD. 
Thee in the loving bloom of morn, 
Thee in the purple eve we see : 
All things in heaven and earth, 0 Lord, 
Live and move in Thee ! 
Thee in the life spring's fresh joy and life ; 
Thee in the May-dew's timid glow ; 
Thee in the autumn's mellow blush ; 
Thee in winter's snow. 
Life is not life without Thee, Lord ; 
Thou;fill'st creation's wondrous whole ; 
Light is not light without Thy love ; 
Blank this boundless soul 
Thee, Lard, without, this seeing eye 
Looks on a mist, a void, a blot ; 
Thee, Lord, without this hearing ear 
Hears, yet heareth not ! 
No not the beauty of the earth. 
Not the wide splendor of the sea ; 
No, not the glory of the heavens ; 
Save as seen in Thee ! 
No, not th3 fragrance of the woods, 
Nor the deep music of the breeze, 
Not all the hues of field and flower ; 
But Thyself in these ! 
No, not the valley nor the hill, 
The lake, the stream, the waterfall ; 
No, not, the girdling zone of blue ; 
But Thyself in all ! 
No, not the flash of diamond, 
The glow of pale or rosy gem ; 
Not the fair marble's polish'd front ; 
But Thyself in them ! 
Without Thee day is darkness night, 
Without Thee the deepest night is day ; 
Earth's only sun, 0 Lord, art Thou ; 
Shine our night away. 
Being of beings, Lord and God, 
These in all things these eyes would see ; 
And all things round, beneath, above, 
Lord in Thee, in Thee ! 
Most blessed Lord, great God of all, 
My dawn, my noon, my day, my eve, 
My light, my glory, and my joy, 
Lord, in whom I live. 
Give to me every day and hour. 
Some newer, holier, happier ray, 
The earnest is soy longing heart, 
Lord, of Thy true day. BONAR. 
Through the darkest of our national troubles, 
I behold the Star of Bethlehem ; and from the 
nettles Confusion and Chaos springing up around 
Us, I extract the flowers Hope and Love. I seem to 
Stand, as it were, on the highest pinnacle of Time, 
grasping with one hand the promises, of God; with 
the other grasping Go d himself.

The Battle of Perryville. 
THRILLING PICTURE OF THE HORRORS OF WAR. 
A Harrodsburg, Ky., correspondent of the 
Louisville Journal gives the annexed thrilling ac-
count of some of' the scenes witnessed during and 
after the terrible battle of Perryville, or Chap-
lin Hill, as it is often called : 
"I propose to relate as an eye-witness, some 
of the incidents of the battle of Chaplin Hill, 
which I am confident will surpass, both in hero-
ism and horror, those of the old 'Indian days' of 
Harrod and Boone. 
A great part of the men of both armies who 
fought this battle, were those of Shiloh,who were 
used to scenes of blood and carnage, and unwil-
ling to retreat on either sides,which accounts for 
this deadly struggle—they say that Shiloh was 
but the introduction to this consummation of bat-
tle. 
One Illinois regiment of Federal troops stood 
on the crest of a hill, until all the field officers 
had fallen, and there was no one to command, 
their ammunition was all expended, and that 
they died like Romans on their post is proved by 
the fact that the next morning, after sunrise, I 
counted forty-four of them lying shot dead in the 
forehead or throuch the heart in their exact 
straight line of battle, with their arms at their 
sides. There were 150 more arms lying in the 
same straight line,proving that number had been 
too severely wounded to carry their arms to the' 
rear when ordered back. There were fifty more 
lying dead in the same field with the arms be-
side them, shot before they gained the cover of 
the next hill, and the enemy checked by the re-
served regiments. One regiment of Federal troops. 
from Michigan stood in line of battle awaiting 
the storm ; and at the first volley their stand-
ard was shot away, and the flag torn to shreds ; 
the soldiers beside the standard bearer caught 
and flung up in the air the tattered remains of 
the stars and stripes, until there was a heap of 
sixteen men shot on the spot. When the broken 
remnant of the regiment fell back, they carried 
all the tattered fragments of that old symbol, as 
carefully as a mother bears her child. 
The standard of the 76th Pennsylvania Infan-
try was shot down six times, and as often reared 
aloft, and when forced from the field the Colonel 
carried it off. 
The 9th Pennsylvania regiment of Cavalry 
sent out three times in solid column to draw the 
fire of the different batteries of the enemy that 
were concealed:—was rained upon by cross bat-
teries with every conceivable artillery missile. 
With no order to move,and unable to return the 
long range fire, they sat on their horses like stat-
ues, except those who were struck, and went to 
the rear. When ordered off the field each time 
they went off at a slow parade walk, disdaining 
to strike a trot after receiving fire for two hours. 
One Federal regiment, the 16th Michigan,and 
a Georgia rebel regiment, met in line of battle 
in open field ; they deliberately planted their 
standard at 40 yards distance from each other, 
and stood and loaded, aimed and fired ; both 
flags were shot down—the Georgia regiment al-
most totally destroyed, and their banner captur-. 
ed. 
In front of the destroyed Illinois regiment was 
a worm fence, from which the rebel soldiers took 
such deadly aim ; in nearly every fence corner 
lay a dead or wounded rebel soldier ; the fence 
was fired by the bursting shells, and in the morn-
ing a fearful sight met our eyes—in the ashes 
of the fence lay a scorched and blackened mass 
of humanity, of roasted men, and to all appear-
ances from their struggles, many of them 
only wounded when the fire caught them. The 
death of our poor men, even with all the agonies 
of thirst on them, in the scorching sunshine and 
the dust and the chilling of the long, cold Octo• 
ber night, was merciful compared with the tor-
tures these men met in the slow but sure ap-
proach of the flames creeping along the fence to 
the spot where they lay writhing. A flock of 
sheep were in the field ; the carcasses of the dead 
ones lay scattered about, and the wounded ones 
crept into the same fence corners with the men, 
and man and beast were roasted and charred to-
gether. 
The terrible inhumanity of the commanders of 
this rebel army is proved by the fact that on the 
left they had driven us back on our second line 
of battle. They had possession of that part of the 
field, and held it until they had retreated at day 
dawn. During that time their dead and living 
were literally roasted (it is the actual, horrible 
fact.) Our dead, and many of the wounded, lay 
there stripped by them of all their coats, hats 
and shoes, and some of them of pants, and in the 
morning they raised their heads with ghastly 
chattering jaws, unable to speak, and fell back 
senseless. There was many a wounded man who 
was stripped who had the life frozen out of him 
on that bleak hillside on the cold October night 
when it required blankets or a fire to keep a 
sound, well clothed man comfortable. 
The enemy carried through the day and night 
his thousand upon thousands of wounded in his 
rear, crowding and crushing them into Perryville 
to over flowing, and into every farm house, shed, 
and stable within three miles of the line of bat-
tle. Gardens and orchards were strewn with them. 
As usual, the fierce cannonading brought on a 
rain; the evening of the 9th was cold and chilly 
piercing to the very bone. I went to one of their 
Inspi;als on the:morning of the 10th. The houses 
sheds, yard and garden were crowded to over-
flowing with crushed and wounded Tennesseeans, 
and Georgians, strewn around on the cold, wet 
straw and earth, with a poor tattered blanket for 
covering to keep off the pelting of the pitiless 
storm through that bitter night. 
Poor human nature could not withstand the 
chiling air that pressed the vitality out of them; 
and in the morning I saw two long rows of white 
corpses awaiting the soldier's hasty burial, and I 
was confident, as with chattering teeth the poor 
survivors begged to have their blankets dried at 
the fire,that the cold night air had slain as many 
as our bullets had done. 
The miserably weak rebel hospital force left 
to cope with the awful work before them were 
totally unable to attend to their wants at any of 
the hospitals, but death was fast making their 
work less. The amputated legs and arms were 
lying piled up like cord wood. 
The Federal dead were all buried by their 
comrades on the 9th and 10th. On the morning 
of' the 10th I estimated three thousand dead Con-
federate :soldiers lying on the right, centre and 
left in an extent of six miles of the line of bat-
tle, their commander marching off leaving them 
unburied—never even sending in a flag of truce 
asking us to give them sepulchre. They were 
then lying mangled and torn festering and putri-
Lying, and the hogs devouring them ! It is the 
actual, horrible fact !"

A Touching Obituary Notice. 
The following most feeling and sad tribute to 
the memory of a misguided young man, we take 
from the Louisville Journal. It is from the pen 
of the patriot Prentice, called forth by the un-
timely death of his son, while battling against 
the flag of his country. 
Courtland Prentice died on Monday 
last, at Augusta, Ky., of wounds received in the 
conflict at that place on the preceding Satur-
day. He perished, in the cause of the rebellion. 
"It is not in the columns of a newspaper, it is 
is only in the family circle or in the hush of sol-
itude, that the emotions of a parent over ;uch an 
event should have utterance. The tears of weep-
ing eyes and the fast trickling drops of bleeding 
hearts are not for the public gaze. The deepest 
agonies should be content to fold their sober 
wings in the soul. Consolation could not come 
from the world's sympathy ; it can be looked for 
only from God and his angel Time. Nay, there 
are grief's that time itself has no power to allay 
or soothe, grief's that like running streams are 
deepening their channels forever. 
"William Courtland Prentice was no common 
young man. He was remarkable in his powers 
and his temperament. A modal of manly beauty, 
he had extraordinary intellectnal energy,a strong 
thirst for strange and curious knowledge, and a 
deep passion for all that is sublime and beauti-
ful in poetry and nature. He was generous,man-
ly, high hearted and of a courage that no mortal 
peril, come in what forms it might, could daunt. 
He exulted in looking destruction face to face 
in all its ways. He loved wild and dangerous 
adventures for the very danger's sake. His eagle 
spirit lived among the mountain crags and shout-
ed back to the shouts of the storm. Although 
kind, unselfish, and humane, he was impetuous, 
passionate, and of unconquerable prejudices. He 
was not unfreluently unjust in his judgments, 
and he permitted nothing to stand between him 
and the execution of his purposes. 
"The yOung man, if he had always directed 
his energies judiciously, could have made him-
solf a distinguished ornament in any profession 
in life. He might have been an able and honor-
ed statesman in the service of the republic. But 
an intense southern sympathy, in spite of the ar-
guments,the remonstrances, and the entreaties of 
those who dearly loved him, made him an active 
rebel against his country. And, after a brief five 
week's service in the rebel ranks, he fell, soon to 
breathe out his fiery life, receiving, meanwhile, 
far away from his family, the kindly ministra-
tions of those against whose cause his strong right 
arm had been raised. Oh!! if he had fallen in his 
country's service—fallen with his burning eyes 
fixed in love and devotion upon the flag that for 
more than three-fourths of a century has been a 
star of worship to his ancristors; his early death, 
though still terrible, might have been borne by 
a father's heart ; but, alas ! the reflection that he 
fell in armed rebellion against that glorious old 
banner, now the emblem of the greatest and no-
blest cause the world ever knew, is full of deso-
lation and almost dispair. 
And yet we shall love to think of Courtland 
Prentice, that brave and noble though misguided 
youth during the little remnant of our lives. Our 
love for hirmundirnined by tears and grief,is and 
will remain "an amaranthine flower upon the 
grave of our buried years."

The Aspect. 
DEAR BRO. BLISS :—The political horizon 
looks dark indeed, but blessed be the name of 
the Lord ! it makes the coming kingdom look so 
much the brighter. And I expect the "cup" will 
be pressed to our lips, till all who love our Lord 
in sincerity and truth, will pray in right good 
earnest, "Thy kingdom come :" I had hoped—
until the hesitation of an administration too len-
ient, and the delays of "petted" Generals, had 
wearied the patience of the people past endurance 
that this wicked rebellion might be crushed out, 
and we might enjoy the blessings of peace a lit-
tle, while we wait the Coming One. But it seems 
now the die is cast. Party lines are drawn, and 
that party who appear to be in the majority have 
adopted for a watch-word "the Constitution" 
with the express understanding that it prohibits 
the emancipation of the poor bondmen : And does 
it not look as though we should be compelled to 
hug the corroding ulcer to our bosom whether we 
wonld or not? Nothing but the special interpo-
sition of the Almighty can avert such a calamity. 
And when we see the only general in our army 
—who, having the ability to lift up fallen hu-
manity, had the courage to exercise that ability 
---cut down at the commencement of his efforts ; 
does it look as though we might expect such in-
terposition in our behalf? To me it looks rather 
as though we might expect to drink the "dregs 
of the cup of trembling, and wring them out." 
Be it even so ! we'll kiss the rod,if it only drives 
us nearer the Holy One. 
"Then Christian let thy hopes and fears 
On earth no longer lean." 
And may our constant cry be 
"0 king of glory grant us power 
Thy fiery wrath to flee 
In thy destroying angel's hour 
0 gather us to thee." 
And as we wait for God to come from the land 
of perfection,---as we behold him in his provi-
dience measuring the earth---driving asunder the 
nations---scattering the everlasting mountains 
bowing the perpetual hills--will we not cry with 
the prophet. 0 Lord, revive thy work in the 
midst of the years,in the midst of the years make 
known ; in wrath remember mercy.

The Happy Land. 
A PARODY. 
Yes, in a happy land, 
Not far away, 
Soon will our waiting band 
Shine bright as day : 
Then shall we sweetly sing, 
Worthy is our Saviour King, 
Loud let his praises ring, 
Praise, praise for aye. 
Earth then a happy land, 
Where Christ holds sway ; 
Now his saints waiting stand 
To hail that day. 
Oh! we shall happy be, 
When from sin and sorrow free. 
Lord, we shall live with thee, 
Blest, blest for aye. 
Bright in that happy land 
Beams every eye ; 
Kept by a Father's hand, 
Love cannot die. 
Oh! then to glory run, 
Be a crown and kingdom won, 
And bright above the sun 
We reign for aye. 
There is scarcely anything more harmless than po 
itical or party malice. It is best to leave it to it-
self. Opposition and contradiction are the only 
weapons that rightly belong to politicians.

LETTER FROM DR. HUTCHINSON. 
• 
MY DEAR BRO. BLISS. Since I wrote you 
last, I have traveled, seen, and heard considera-
ble, besides laboring to some extent in the cause 
of the Coining One. 
Wed. Oct. 1st. I left Leeds for London. On 
my way I sat with Mr. Gordon, the converted 
infidel, whom I mentioned in my last. He is ev-
idently a person of fine parts. I embraced the 
opportunity of enlightening him on the Advent, 
by putting into his hands the Millennial News. 
It was after dark when we arrived in London, 
but Bro. Wm. Thorp of Leeds, kindly met me 
at the station; and conducted me to a lodging 
which he had provided. 
Thursday, we spent all day at the Interna-
tional Exhibition. The following figures will 
give an idea of the dimensions of this extensive 
building, but it would take volumes to describe 
it particularly, and its mutifarious contents :—
Width 700 feet, average height 100 feet, height 
of dome 250 feet. Diameter at Base 160 feet, 
length of transepts at each end 700 feet, by 85 
feet broad, space for exhibition 1,140,000 feet, 
cost of building £300,000. The visitors on that 
day were over 71,000. 
Friday morning I called upon James Nesbit 
and Co. Publishers, and found them very cour-
teous and obliging, in transacting an item of bu-
siness with them. Afterwards I visited the 
Crystal Palace, Sydenham, 8 miles from London 
Bridge. The following figures will give an idea 
of its size :—Length 1800 feet, Width 400 feet, 
centre transept 178 feet high, the end transept 
108 feet high, the towers '235 feet high. The 
building is one of great beauty,—the extensive 
rounds in connection with it are in fine order, 
and when all the water works are playing, the 
scene is most enchanting. 
Saturday, I accompanied some friends to the 
Parliament House, and was honored with a 
temporary seat in the House of Commone,an dal-
so in the House of Lords. I saw the "wool-
sack," but did not aspire so high as to sit upon 
it. The size of the House of Lords, only 97 
feet long by 45 feet wide, and 45 feet high, and 
so entirely disproportionate to the size of the en-
tire building generally disappoints a visitor, not 
so, however its splendour. The House of Com-
mons although not equal in size, or magnificence 
to the house of Lords is nevertheless a superb 
apartment. We also attended divine service in 
Westminster, Abbey, after which we had full 
and free opportunity of walking where we pleas-
ed, and viewing at our leisure the ancient and 
magnificent Cathedral, with its numerous monu-
ments, statues, and tombs. The statue of Shaks-
pere significantly points to the following words 
by that great man : 
"The cloud capt towers, 
The gorgeous palaces, 
The solemn temple, 
The great globe itself, 
Yea, all which it inherits, 
Shall dissolve and fade away, 
And like the baseless fabric of a vision, 
Leave not a wreck behind." 
Though I had more than once visited this plat 
before, yet I found my present visit, increasing-
ly agreeable, and profitable. 
Sunday 5th I had intended to divide between 
Dr. Cumming and Mr. Spurgeon, but, the for 
mer being absent, I devoted the entire day to 
the latter. When I had arrived in the morning 
the service had commenced, and with difficulty 
I gained a standing point, from which I could 
see the preacher. Mr. S. was reading as a les-
son the 55th of Isaiah, beginning, "Ho every 
one that thirsteth,come ye to the waters." Af—
ter singing the hymn, 
"Depth of mercy can there be, 
Mercy still reserved for roe." 
he offered up a fervent prayer, in which he evin-
ced his sympathy with the northern states ; 
praying, that an "empire of' slavery might not 
arise out of the present unnatural and sanguin-

which is presented in heaven, and in that blood 
we have nearness. Eph. ii. 13, "We stand in 
grace, we have access into that grace." "0 fath-

into the hands of Jesus, and you will never hear 
more about them." Jesus,as our representative, is 
the bearer away of sin, and all who believe 00 
him lose their sins, and find peace.

spring up. Hence, it is that the believer is so

The same view of the judicial aspect of the 
death of Christ toward all who believe, is set 
forth in Gal. ii. 20 : "I am crucified with Christ, 
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ by the 
faith of the Son of God, wholloved me, and gave 
himself for me." "I have been crucified with 
Christ, co-crucified with Christ. The word I in-
dicated to the apostle all that he characteristi-

"We should also rejoice in hope of what we 
shall be, and where we shall be as the result of 
having died, risen, and ascended in Christ." 
"then Christ who is our life, shall appear, we 
also shall appear with him in glory." 
Sin, it is true, is still within us ; this often un-
tunes the harp ofjoy,and causes us much sorrow, 
because it hinders our progress, and grieves the 
Holy Spirit ; but still let us remember that out 
sins over which we daily lament are already con-
demned. Their death-warrant is signed,and soon 
their very existence will terminate. Till then let 
us sing hopefully-- 
"Hell and thy sins resist thy course, 
But hell and sin are vanquish'd foes ; 
Thy Saviour nail'd them to the cross, 
And sung the triumph when He rose." 
Nor let us ever fail to notice how, in connexion 
with this broad statement concerning the believ-
er's oneness with a crucified and crowned Saviour, 
the strongest exhortations to mortify sin and live 
to God are always introduced, and earnestly 
pressed home. Rom. vi. 12-14, viii. 10 11, Bol. 
iii. 5. 
III. That this doctrine furnishes the mighti- 
est motive-power to produce holiness,and prompt 
to service. Some one well observes, "Let the mo-
tive be strong, and the duty is easy enough." 
Another writes, "The influence of reckoning 
ourselves to be dead unto sin,and alive unto God, 
in Jesus Christ our Lord, is omnipotent. It goes 
down to the very depths of human depravity. 
It penetrates to the root of that sore moral mal-
ady which has produced mortification in all the 
faculties of the soul, and in a moment it effects a 
radical cure---a cure which under the influence of 
this receipt must infallibly progress until it is 
completed in the day of the Lord Jesus. 
It is very observable how,in the Word of God, 
"power" is ever connected with cross, resurrec- 
tion, and official glory of the Lord Jesus. The 
cross is the power of God, (1 Cor. i. 18.) Paul 
desired "to know the power of his resurrection," 
and prayed that others might"know what was the 
exceeding greatness of that power which was 
wrought in Christ when he was raised from the 
dead," (Eph. i. 19.) He could testify how the 
love of Christ, as displayed in his death and res-
urrection, powerfully constraineth. As if he had 
said, "I every day and hour constantly and hab-
itually judge and recollect that I owe my soul's 
eternal salvation to the love of Christ, in dying 
for me ; and thus judging, I feel myself irresisti- 
bly, but most sweetly, carried forward in all my 
holy exercises, and in every act and work of 
evangelical obedience." Law-terrors, the terrors 
of hell, and the joys of heaven, with any and 
every motive besides,must" fail to produce loving 
service. Love, divine, redeeming love, deeply 
realized—is the only real motive-power to pro-
duce holiness. "In proportion to the strength of 
that faith by which we cleave to Christ, and in 
proportion to the extent and vividness of our 
views of the glory of Christ in his person and 
work, must be our sanctification," (2 Bor. iii. 
18.) 
We thus see, that this doctrine of judicial one-
ness with Christ, not only insures the reality of 
sanctification to all who trust in Him, but in-
sures, "if kept in memory" and rightly used, the 
progressiveness of sanctification also. "How can 
we, that are dead to sin, live any longer there-
in?" exclaims the apostle. The thing is morally 
impossible, when by faith we realize our oneness 
with Christ. Therefore, "reckon ye yourselves 
to be dead indeed unto sin, and alive unto God 
through Christ Jesus ; then sin will not reign ; 
you will not obey it in the lust thereof, but you 
will "yield yourselves to God, as those who are 
alive from the dead." But this moral deadness 
to moral evil and this spiritual liveliness towards 
spiritual good, will progress just in proportion 
as we "abide in Christ," and realise that in him 
we eied and rose again,and are now in him who, 
as Our accepted and interceding priest, has "the 
power of an endless life." 
(To be continued.) 
The Old Testament contains predictions of 
two distinct advents of the Messiah as king, and 
in two distinct manners. 1. As king of Zion, 
he was to come to Zion amidst great shouts and 
rejoicings. 2. As monarch of all the earth, he 
was to come in the clouds of heaven—Zech. 9. 
; Dan. 7. 13, 14. In the first instance he came 
as predicted by Zechariah, riding on an ass, and 
a colt the foal of an ass ; and his kingdom was 
droclaimed—Matt. 11., Luke 19, John 12., 
So event of prophecy ever had a more literal 
fulfillment than this. He came as king in the 
prescribed form, on an ass, and a colt the foal of 
an ass ; was proclaimed king—took forcible 
possession of the Temple ; and when the Phari-
sees demanded of him that he should rebuke his 
disciples for proclaiming him king, he said, "I 
tell you if these should hold their peace, the 
stones would immediately cry out." For this 
assumption of royal honors and powers, the 
"chief priests and scribes sought to destroy him," 
Mark 11. 18. He then related the parable of 
the householder and his vineyard ; and they, as 
did David in reference to the parable of Nathan, 
pronounced judgment ; and Jesus applied it to 
them : "Therefore I say unto you, the kingdom 
of God shall be taken from you and given to a 
nation bringing forth fruit thereof." Matt. 21. 
3. 4. 
Up to this point, from the days of John the 
Baptist, the kingdom of God, or kingdom of 
heaven at hand. had been preached by John the 
Baptist, Matt. 3 ; by Christ, Mark 1, 14, 15 ; 
by the twelve apostles, Matt. 10. 7 ; and by the 
seventy disciples, Luke 10. 14. 
By the "Gospel of the kingdom," then, was 
meant, the Messiah is at hand as Zion's king, as 
foretold by Zech. 1se 9. He was so near, that 
when Christ sent his twelve to the lost sheep of 
the house of Israel to say, "the kingdom of heav-
en is at hand," he said, "You shall not have 
gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of man 
be come." He did not mean here his second,but 
his first advent, as fulfilled when he rode into 
Jerusalem and was proclaimed King. After 
that, the kingdom of heaven at hand was never 
preached by the Apostles. But Christ,as shown, 
took the kingdom of God from the Jews ; pro-
nounced sentence on Jerusalem and her child-
ren, and said "You shall not see me henceforth, 
till you shall say, Blessed is he that cotneth in 
the name of the Lord." Matt. 23. 80. 
It was in reference to this promise of a future 
coming that the disciples asked, Matt. 24. 3, 
"What shall be the sign of thy coming,and of the 
end of the world ?" 
He answered, that the sign of this second ad-
vent, as foretold, Dan. 7, 13, 14, would not be, 
"wars and rumors of wars ;" for although these 
would come to pass, "the end is not yet." But 
he said, "And this gospel of the kingdom" which 
had just been preached to the lost sheep of the 
house of Israel, "the kingdom of heaven is at 
hand," "shall be preached in all the world for a 
witness unto all nations, then shall the end 
come," The M essiah was then to come to Zion 
and her children, the Jews, as their king. He 
had come, and they had rejected him, and that 
dispensation, age, or world ended, and another 
age was introduced. Just before this age ends, 
"this gospel of the kingdom,i. e. "the kingdom of 
heaven is at hand," "shall be preached in all the 
world," because all are interested in the event 
'for a witness unto all nations ; and then shall 
the end come," the end of this Gentile dispensa-
tion ; and Christ's second royal advent will take 
place. • 
This sign of the end is now taking place. Christ 
and his Apostles proved their message true by 
healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing the 
lepers, etc. ; but in the end of this dispensation, 
the truth of the doctrine is to be proved by an 
appeal to fulfilled and fulfilling prophecy,a stand-
ing miracle. Ffty years ago, almost the entire

what he never said ; for once he shall speak for him-
self to the purpose:"— Voice No. 12. p. 29. 
On reading the foregoing, two queries are suggest-
ed. 1. Why, in stating Mr. S's. propositions, was 
it necessary to do it "with a verbal difference from 
his ?" And, 2d. Why was it not shown, by some 
quotation from the Nos. of the Herald referred to, 
that we ever attempted to make Mr. S. occupy the 
position claimed? This question has reached a 
stage where the assertion of any one who charges 
another with "falsifying," can have no weight ex-
cept as it is substantiated. Tho simple reason, 1 
why there was no attempt to show by ouotations 
that we have made,Mr. S. "say what lie never said," 
Is because that cannot he "fairly and conclusively 
done." We have no where gone into the question 
of the great "purpose" of his book,nor criticised it 
other than in its historic and prophetic chronology ; 
his notes on the historical portion we copied almost 
entire in the same Nos. of the Herald that contain-
ed the review ; those notes and his chronological ta-
ble, in which we showed the existing errors, were 
the identical portions copied into the sheet in the 
successive Nos. of which is heard the voice of your 
correspondent ; and it was in respect to that portion 
as thus copied that his readers still await the fulfill-
ment of the promise : "If any defect should be di-- 
covered, it will be duly and frankly given to our 
readers with the reasons therefore," Voice July, 
1860, p. 30. We repeat, that whatever else Mr. S. 
may have attempted to do and succeeded in,or what-
ever may have been his main object, he also attemp-
ted to demonstrate the world's present age ; in re-
spect to which not a sentence has been attempted to 
be quoted from our pen, as being at variance with 
; his writings. But, 
2. The reason why it was necessary to state 
Mr. S.'s propositions "with a verbal difference from 
his," was because, had the precise language of Mr. 
S. been quoted, it would have shown that his posi-
tion was precisely what we stated ; and it would 
have left the charges of "falsifying," and of mak-
ing hive "say what he never said" where they pro-
perly belong. We will quote in full Mr. S's. pro-
positions, and in his own language, so that readers 
may judge between this our "accuser," and ourself.

a man was at one time stoned to death, for gath-
ering sticks on that day. 
Now it is not to be supposed that the observ-
ance of these restrictions, would endanger the 
health of any person. if met, the climate would 
be sufficiently mild at all seasons, as not to ex-
pose the people to suffer from the cold, which 
cannot be said of every land. The land of their 
inheritance is thus mild, and as the Jews alone 
are to possess it, it is reasonable to 
infer that a Sabbath with the above named 
restrictions attached, was made exclusively for 
them. 
But again, the fact that the fourth command 
is left powerless to appoint the day, unavoidably 
suggests the thought,that the maker thereof pur-
poses at some future time, to change the day of 
 
the weekly Sabbath. If he purposes that the day 
appointed for the Jews should be observed in all 
coming time, why not have fastened it in this 
precept ? 
But if the Jewish Sabbath was made for the 
Christian church, why should our Lord and his 
apostles after his resurrection pass coldly by it, 
and by their example teach us that the first day 
was to be kept as a Sabbath of' rest in prefer-
ence to the seventh. Certainly on the day of his 
resurrection he appoints to meet with his disci 
pies. 
The seventh day from this appointed meetin 
he is with them again. Did he not know wha 
course his people would take in this matter? the 
the example he was setting would grow into 
fixed custom on the part of the Christian church 
If so, and all this was wrong, silence under sue 
ai,ta.ta; is a alt. 
But says the objecter, we have no doubt tha 
the apostles and Christians did meet on the firs 
day for worship, bnt what evidences have you t 
show that they observed this day as a Sabbath 
We answer we have no formal testimony to tha 
end from the apostle. The fathers are quote 
as declaring that they did keep it as such. 
But the circumstantial evidence arising Iron 
the example of the apostles is so strong, as t 
inevitably fasten conviction neon unprejudice 
minds that the apostles,did make of the first da 
a Sabbath. 
1. It will be observed that they are never foun 
after Christ's resurrection as Christian churche 
 
keeping the seventh day. They so far confor 
ed to be sure, to Jewish usages, as to take a 
vantage of the assemblies of the seventh day, f 
the purpose of preaching the gospel to theJews 
but the first day was the day for Christian co 
gregations to meet. If then they did not kee 
the seventh day as a Sabbath, they must ha 
observed the first as such,or kept none at all. 
they observed none, they are guilty of bred 
ing the fourth command. 
Again the meaning of Sabbath is rest, situp 
rest. It is considered on all hands, that t 
apostles with their respective churches, did co 
gregate on first day, for religious worship; the 
it is reasonable to suppose that they laid asi 
their secular pursuits, and the day was to the 
one of rest, or a Sabbath. And so the ear 
fathers of the church understood and practic 
it. 
And there is the strength of the argument, 
favour of the day we Christians keep,the exa 
ple of Christ and his apostles. 
This we have ; and it must be shown th 
these examples never happened or the chur 
must be expected to hold her former course 
this matter. If the apostles intended their 
amples should not be imitated, they were dece 
ers. We believe they were honest men ; a 
intended and believed that their examples wo 
influence the church in all future time. If 
tions then, according to the popular prove 
speak louder than words, it requires no unto 
mon degree of perception to discover on wh 
side of this question the strength of the_argum 
lies. 
Some divine writers have believed the fi 
day sabbath to be a subject of prophecy, a§ 
118th psalm, where Christ is represented a 
stone rejected by the builders : but became 
head stone of the corner. He was by the Je 
rejected where they put him to death. He sh 
ed himself to be the head stone of the cor 
when he arose from the clean. me psalmist im- 
mediately adds, "This is the day which the 
Lord hath made, we will be glad and rejoice in 
it.

and importance of the result, if founded in truth, 
would seem to justify, call upon all claeses,—the 
clergy and the laity, the learned and the unlearned, 
the rich and the poor, together with those who goy 
em and those who are governed,—to ponder well 
the facts and arguments herein adduced in its sup. 
port. Referring tho reader to the three proposi-
tions laid down in page 12 of this work, the writer 
would appeal, whether, in encountering the difficul-
ties that have heretofore surrounded this most in-
tricete and long litigated subject, he has sustained 
said three propositions, by placing beyond the reach 
of all legitimate controversy, the following points ; 
That of successfully vindicating the Hebrew 
version of Scripture, as alone authoriative in determin-
ing the true chronology of the world, against the 
various theories of Septuagintarians, on the one 
hand, and the pre-Adatnite or ethnological systems 
of modern Egyptologists, on the other. 
That he has proved, on the anthority of Ho-
ly Scripture, that God, from the beginning, has 
limited the period for the accomplishment of all hie 
ordinary purposes in nature,providence, and grace, 
to precisely 6000 years from the creation and fall 
of man ; and, 
That he has demonstrated, that his two 
chronological chains of Holy Scripture, the historic 
and prophetic combined, neither fall short of, nor 
overleap, but exactly fill up, that period of 6000 
years to a fraction. 
"If these several points have been sustained, then 
he would appeal to all to reflect,that in NINE years 
from the current year of our Lord 1859, the present 
Christian dispensation, as forming the larger por-
tion of the period called 'the times of the Gentiles' 
WILL HAVE CLOSED UPON THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD 
FOREVER." p. 182. 
The third of these propositions is the only one 
here at issue, or to which we call attention. But 
with the above extracts, yourself and our read- 
ers can easily determine the purpose of the work in 
question ; which we have not attempted to show ex-
cept by letting him speak for himself. Your cor-
respondent, however, labors to sho w that the com-
putation of the world's age was not the primary 
purpose which moved Mr. S. to write the volume.

Your correspondent avers that Mr. S. dyes not 
claim to have demonstrated the above "in any sense." 
We aver that the above are the words of Mr. Shim-
call—we having italicized the words "proof demon-
strative" and "has demonstrated," so as to place in 
marked and deserved contrast your correspondent's 
denial of Mr. S.'s affirmation. 
Your correspondent, however, says of Mr. S., 
"Those whom he has encountered in the main 
purpose of the book he looks boldly in the face and 
asserts this claim : I know the 'fallacy' on which 
your pride rests ! I have demonstrated 
the fraud ; and that gives to Israel the long-de-
Sired demonstration that the word of Israel's God is 
the truth ! 
Dues he take such an attitude and use such lan-
guage toward the other party ? Hear him : 'Breth-
ren, clergy and laity, learned and unlearned, rich 
and poor, governing and governed, ponder well the 
facts and arguments I present foryour consideration. 
It founded in truth, if these several points have been 
sustained, I ato11 
a.. to reflect, that in NINE 
years from the current year of our Lord, 1859, the 
present Christian dispensation, as forming the lar-
ger portion of the period called "the times of the 
gentiles," will HAVE CLOSED UPON THE CHURCH AND 
THE WORLD FOREVER.' 
"Most certainly there is a difference between 
'furnishing the 'evidence' of a point to be submitted 
under an 'if,' and claiming to give a 'mathematical 
demonstration' of it. And there is certainly a dif-
ference between the accomplishment of the great 
purpose of his work, which Mr. S. dues claim, and 
the accomplishment of an incidental purpose as al-
leged, which Mr. S. does not claim," Voice No. 12, 
p. 30. 
We have already shown just what Mr. S. does 
claim, notwithstanding these repeated denials ; but 
we have here to add that what Mr. S. claims in re-
spect to the world's age,is not submitted by him un-
der an "if," in any such sense as that claimed above. 
The actual words of Mr. S. which your correspondent 
claims to have given but which he has here given al-
83, "with a verbal difference from his," will be 
found in full Lin our first extract from 
jpage 182 of Mr. Shimeall's Bible Chronology; 
reference to which will show what precedes 
the first "If," that it commences a paragraph of 
itself, that it refers equally to all the propositions, 
and that it does not there stand as expressive of 
doubt in the mind of the author, but is used 
by him as a logical connection between the conclu-
sion he would impress on the mind of the reader and 
the "propositions" on which such conclusion is 
based,—the first of which he claims to have "vindi-
cated," the second to have "proved," and the third 
to have "demonstrated." 
The claim "that he has demonstrated" just before 
expressed, is positive, absolute and unqualified. The 
author gives no expression of doubt or misgiving in 
respect to it. And the "if" which follows, is merely 
the logical hinge by which the assent of the reader is 
endeavored to be secured. Does not Paul affirm 
absolutely, "Wherefore thou art no more a servant 
but a son," Gal. 4. 7 ? yet he adds : "and if a son, 
then an heir of God through Christ." Does it there-
fore follow that the previous affirmation of sonship 
is given under an "if." Does Paul speak doubting-
ly of his belief that Christ had died and risen again, 
when he says : "For if we believe that Jesus died 
and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Je-
sus will Gud bring with him ?" Th. 4: 14..The Bi-
ble and our Englishiliterature are full of illustrations 
of such usage. The poet Young in his "Night 
Thoughts" gives an argument which he justly claims 
as demonstrative of the existence of God; and yet 
he adds, in respect to that demonstrative argument : 
"If in this chain, Lorenzo finds no flaw, 
Let it for ever bind him to belief. 
And where the link in which a flaw he finds 
And if God there is, that God how great !" 
Why could not your correspondent have given this 
"if" of Mr. S. in the same order in which Mr. S. 
gave it without the omission of whole paragraphs 
immediately' preceeding,and without giving Has a part 
of a paragraph with which it had no connection--
there being whole paragraphs between, which are 
omited, and beginning as it does a new paragraph ! 
Some remarks in respect to a 'mathematical de-
monstration," will next claim attention. 
Knowledge is power. 
Political Reputation. 
In our late state election, among the candidates 
for our state senate, were Mr. Bird of Walpole, and 
Mr. Swan of Dorchester,—in different senatorial 
districts. The party supporting the latter objected 
to the former that lie was no speaker ; and to the 
claims of the latter in this particular,they triumph-
antly pointed to a speech made by him at the last 
session of the Mass. Legislature,on the Musa° Tun-
nel question. This bubble was however, most effec-
tually pricked by a revelation made by Mr. Bird, 
stating that not only all the facts and arguments 
embodied in the speech of Mr. Swah were compiled 
by Mr. Bird, but were put into form, and written 
out by him. 
"Petley," the Washington c.rretpondent of the 
Boston Journal, noticing this,reinarks that many a 
congressman has been made famous by first getting 
some newspaper writer to write out a:speech for him 
and then getting him to puff it and the deliverer in-
to notoriety. The system of puffing has become now 
so well understood that its ',value is generally accu-
rately appreciated. 
Since noticing the above, another specimen of a 
similar kind has come to hand : 
"The London correspondent of the Philadelphia In-
quirer transmits the following letter from George 
Francis Train to the "Society of Cogers," in Shoe 
Lane, in which that eccentric individual surpasses 
all his previous efforts. Its authenticity is said to 
be undoubted. 
"Revere House, Boston, Sept. 26, 1862. Dear 
Cogors :—I am knocking the button out of English 
aristocracy every time. To-day I have more power 
than any man in this empire. I speak to four thou-
sand and five thousand at a time, and take five hun-
dred to fifteen hundred dollars for an hour's talk, 
some of which (as in England all went) goes to char-
ity. I am smashing up the Abolition party here,and 
you see on my note paper my maxims. I am with 
you, as you know. There are two hundred in dress 
circle, two thousand in pit. England must have her 
revolution. The times are changing. The boys in the 
discussion halls will some day be a power. Think 
more of yourselves. Remember what I have said to 
you. Give regards toe G—andiO'B--and others. 
Tell them to keep my memory green. I am a Coger. 
Do you want Shoe Lane advertised all over the 
world? Then get up a splendid address from the 
Cogers as being from the people of England to me, 
speaking of my qualities as a debater, of my chari-
table actions of my Union fight, of my prophecies, 
and my warnings. Let it be signed by the Cogers, 
and resolutions strong, and I will reply, publishing 
the correspondence. My name is in all mouths, thir-
ty thousand photographs off,and bought by the doz- 
en. When I pitch into England, remember I only 
speak the sentiments of , to whom give kind 
regards. I am too young to take Charles Sumner's 
place in the Senate, else I should be elected by ifb-
clamation. I look to my debating education in the 
discussion hall, as the most important feature of my 
public life. No member of Parliament can compete 
with the minds under your hospitable roof. 
Sincerely, 
G. F. TRAIN. 
I shall send you papers from week to week. Send 
the address care Curtis Guild, Esq , Boston—Shan-
non via New York—Mr. Walter Cogers, Discussion 
Hall, Shoe Lane, Fleet street, London." 
"The letter proved too much for the "Cogers," 
who adopted a resolution expressing their "surprise 
and indignation at being invited to become accom-
plices to a double fraud—firstly, to assume to speak 
in the name of the English people, and, secondly, to 
give Mr. Train credit for qualities contrary to our 
own estimate of his character." The resolution also 
disaproved all sympathy with Mr. Train's views. 
By another resolution he was unanimously expelled 
from the society. 
"Poor Train,he thought to puff himself into notice 
by soliciting resolutions in his favor, that should 
appear to be spontaneous and voluntary ; but mak-
ing his overtures to those who were too highminded 
to countenance such clap-trap, he received a merited 
exposture. Had he succeeded,such resolutions would 
have been of little service to him ; for true merit 
will be so known and appreciated, that such aid is 
liable to beget the suspicion of collusion, and that 
there is sp necessity for such support. 
Since the above was in type,the Journal says and 
that it learns from a New York paper, that Mr. 
Train pronounces the "Cogers" story a hoax. It is 
therefore no more than just that onr readers should 
have the benefit of his denial. 
Revolution in Greece. 
The Liverpool Mercury says : 
'The insurrection in Greece has been followed by 
either the depotism or abdication of King Otho. One 
account states that the Provisional government, 
which was appointed under the presidency of M. 
Mavrocordato,has decreed the depotism of the reign- 
ing dynasty ; that a national assembly had been con-
voked ; the public peace has been disturbed ; 
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed among the 
poeple. Another account states that the King has 
abdicated in favor of his brother. Otho 1 King of 
Greece, is brother to Maximilian II, King of Bava-
ria. Ile was born on the lit of June, 1815, was 
elected to the throne of the newly constituted king-
dom of Greece at the age of seventeen. He ascended 
the throne in June, 1835." 
The London Observer says : 
"This event will lead to grave complications, in 
consequence of the intimate connection of the late 
King with the European despotic system now in the 
ascendant, and serhaps bringing on a general war. 
The Russian, Austrian, and French rulers will nev-
er permit a republic in Greece if they can help it ; 
while England on the other hand, cannot allow a 
second military despotism, however small, to be es-
tablished on the shore: of the Mediterranean in close 
contiguity to Turkey, whose integrity it is at once 
her honer and her interest to uphold. It will be seen 
therefore, that, politically speaking, the disposition 
or abdication of King Otho is possibly pregnant with 
serious consequences. 
GARIBALDI. 
Garibaldi is, it is feared, in a more critical state 
than is generally supposed. Dr. Patridge, after vis-
iting the suffering patient and examining his wounds 
declared that there was no ball in the Injured foot. 
In this opinion he was supported by several eminent 
Italian physicians. On the other hand, some skill-
ful continental surgeons are convinced that the ball 
is still in the wound. While the doctors thus dis-
agree the patient continues to suffer intensely, and 
whether the ball requires to be extracted or not, the 
wound romaine open and the patient is gradually 
wasting away. 
Order of the President. 
Washington, Nov. 16. The following General Or-
der has been issued respecting the observance of the 
Sabbath day in the Army and Navy : 
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., 
November 16, 1862. 
The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Army 
and Navy, desires and enjoins the orderly observance 
of the Sabbath by the officers and' men in the mili-
tary and naval services. The importance for man 
and beast of the prescribed weekly rest, the sacred 
rights of Christian soldiers and sailors, a becoming 
observance to the best sentiment of a Christian peo-
ple, and a due regard for the Divine Will, demand 
that Sunday labor in the army and navy be reduced 
to the measure of strict necessity. The discipline 
and character of the national forces should not suf-
fer nor the cause they defend be imperiled by the 
profanation of the day or name of the Most High. 
"At this time of public distress," adopting the word 
of Washington in 1776, "men may find enough to 
do in the service of God and their country, without 
abandoning themselves to vice and immorality." 
The first general order issued by the Father of his 
Country after the Declaration of Independence in-
dicates the spirit in which our institutions were 
founded and should ever be defended. The General 
hopes and trusts that every officer and man will en-
deavor ty live as becomes Christian soldiers, defend-
ing the rights and privileges of his conutry."

We think the sense of' the passage is this, "Go

for the destruction of the flesh [i. e. of the fleshly 
lusts that drown the soul in perdition] that the 
spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." 
It would seem that among the powers conferred 
on the apostles, was that of inflicting such discip. 
line—i. e. to bodily afflictions and disease, for the 
purpose of correction, analagous to the punishment 
of Annanias and his wife'at the word of Peter, ex-
cept that that punishment was not designed for cor-
rection.

New York, Nov. 16. A Warrenton letter state 
that trains run regularly to Washington, and also 
that Professor Lowe is arranging for serial observa-
tions. 
A special dispatch from Washington says that 
military men firmly believe that Gen. Burnside will 
soon be attacked by the rebels in force. 
A letter states that Capt. Samuel M. Quency of 
the 2 Mass. regiment, and Henry E. Holloway of 
the 5th Conn., and Arthur E. Jordan of the 10th 
Maine, are prisoners at Staunton, Va. 
A Newbern correspondent of the Herald states 
that the rebel Governor Vance replies to Gov-
ernor Stanley's pi.opositons, ihat North Carolina 
wiil fight to the lest drop of her blood, and recom-
mends Governor Stanley to treat directly with the 
rebel government. 
A Newbern letter states that the rebels drove in 
our pickets on the night previous. The attack was 
expected, and the most complete preparations had 
been made by Colonel Kurtz. The iron-clad rail-
road car, with its two guns, loaded with grape and 
canister, were brought to bear on the rebels, repuls-
ing them successfully. One man of the 24th ,Mass. 
regiment was killed and two wounded. A large 
force has been sent to hag the rebels. All was quiet 
on the afternoon of the 12th, and Gen. Foster was 
coming up the river. 
The trial of the 15-inch gun on the gunboat Pas-
saic, yesterday, with a full charge of powder and so-
lid shot, was a complete success. No smoke entered 
the turret, nor was any had effects experienced from 
the concussion. 
A Warrenton dispatch, dated last evening, states 
that a rebel battery opened on Gen. Sturgis' divis-
ion on Friday morning while it was passing from 
Sulphur Springs to Fayetteville. After an artillery 
duel of two hours the rebels were finally driven off, 
and the division continued its march to Fayetteville. 
Several of our men were wounded, a number of 
horses killed, and two wagons destroyed. Gen. Stur-
gis narrowly escaped, a cannon ball striking his 
horse. 
A reconnoissance to Salem found no rebels there. 
DISCUSSIFN. 
The following qnestions are being discussed in 
this city the present week, and all of next week, and 
and in Salem the week after, in public] debate be-
tween I. R. Gates and Miles Grant—the former af-
firming the first, and the latter the second : 
Do the Scriptures teach that man has a Spirit 
which is conscious after the death of the body? 
Do the Scriptures teach the entire and endless 
extinction of the conscious belts; of tho wicked ? 
Mansfield's Dispensatory says that the most of the 
Sarsaparilla of the shops is inert and worthless. Dr. 
Ayer in his writings on this drug states that not on-
ly is it inert as found in the shops, but so also are 
most of the preparations from it, or bearing its 
name, He shows, however, that this fact arises from 
the use of worthless varieties, or unskilful prepara-
tions by incompetent men ; that the true Medicinal 
Sarsaparilla (Sarza Smilax off,) of the tropics,when 
freshly gathered in the bud, is one of the most effec-
tual alteratives we possess. Combined with other 
substances of great alterative power, like Iodine, 
Stillingia, Dock, &c., it makes Ayer's Comp. Ext.

Loudon Ridge Oct. 18, 1862. J. H. Clark. 
Voted, that the time of holding our next session 
of the State Conference, be changed, so as to com-
mence on the 2d. Thursday in Sept. at 2 o'clock P.

Sunday morning, Oct. 19th, met at 9 o'clock 
for prayer and conference meeting. Good season. 
Preaching in A. M. by Eld. Himes on the "seven 
last plagues !" The closing part of his address was 
most deeply solemn and inpressive. The speaker 
and many of his hearers were affected to tears ;—
the house being literally filled with an attentive au-
dience. 
In the P. M. Eld. J. Couch delivered a very stir-
ring and interesting discourse founded on Luke 21: 
26, 27 ; and also in the eve., he gave another inter-
esting discourse on the subject of "salvation." 
Our aged father in the ministry,Elder Peter Clark, 
of Gilmanton,—past his four score years—was at 
our meeting on the Sabbath, took a seat with the 
brethren in the pulpit, and offered the concluding 
prayer at the close of the P. M. services. 
We think during all our meetings of business, 
more than usual harmony and good feeling prevail-
ed ; and the meetings of worship were such as to 
warrant the hope that some good fruit may be gath-
ered in the coming Kingdom. 
The conference not commencing till Friday at this 
session, we lied notice to attend to hearing reports 
from the several churches, as at former service,. 
May the Lord bless, and revive his people through-
out New Hampshire and elsewhere, and prepare us 
for the coming and Kingdom of his dear Sun our 
Savior —Jesus.

CORRESPONDENCE. 
In this department, articles are solicited, on the general 
subject of she Advent, from friends of the Herald, over 
their own signatures, irrespective of the particular views 
which it defends. Views of correspondents not dissented 
from, aro not necessarily to be considered as editorially 
endorsed. Correspondents are expected to avoid all per-
sonalities, and to study Christian courtesy in all references 
to views and persons. Any departure from this should be 
regarded as disentitling the writer to any reply. Christian 
and gentlemanly discussion will be in order ; but not 
needless, unkind, or uncourteous controversy. 
it would oierlook the whole course of God's provi- 
dence, reveal the events of four years only. But it 
is still more unnatural to suppose that this whole 
hook of prophecy should close with a prediction of 
thirty and forty-five literal days, and this without 
any event assigned to them. There arises, on this 
hypothesis an unavoidable feeling of incongruity, 
which forbids us to rest in such an exposition. 
"On the contrary, the year day interpretation re-
stores these passages at once to their natural dignity, 
and invests them with a deep practical importance. 
the first interval will then correspond with the na-
tural generation ; and the second, with the space 
from the exodus to the first season of rest in the land 
of promise," Josh. 14: 7-11. 
1 have nu doubt that the days are symbols of years 
and that we can rely on the great principles of pro-
testant interpretation. And so, we may reasonably 
look for the resurrection of the just in the end of 
the 1335 days.

"To the members of the N. H. State Conference 
of Adventists, Brethren : 
Having been a member of your body since its or- 
ganization, I now wish to be relieved from my ob-
ligations as a member of the N. H. state conference ; 
for the purpose of renewing as soon as convenient 
more pleasant and beneficial relations with some 
From Bro. Thomas Wardle. 
Bee. Buss. We ; that is, many of the old Sec-
ond Adventists in this city, have had a good time of 
it, for according to the announcement in "Advent 
Herald ;" Bro. Himes preached for "The Second 
Advent Church of Philadelphia." Oct. 26th. 
His voice was clear and strong, with an earnest-
ness which made fainting hearts grow strong ; many 
of his old friends gathered around him as in days 
of yore, thinking and talking of the times when he 
with Bro. Win. Miller went through the land pro-
claiming this same Gospel, then facing the popular 
storm and like true mariners stood steady at the 
*helm ; Bro. M. where is he ? He rests from his la-
bors and his works do follow him : But Bro. Himes 
has still to fight the battles of life; but it is a spirit-
ual warfare, and it does seem to me, that the mas-
ter, Christ, has given him the spirit of love, of la-
bor, of joy and peace ; amid the trials of these 
times, it appears that he mounts above them in the 
enjoyment of peace which passeth understanding. 
He gave us a sermon in the morning on "The 
Two Witnesses': in the afternoon "The Seven Last 
Plagues," and in the evening "Daniel to stand in 
his lot in 1868." The day was stormy, it rained 
froni morning until night, but notwithstanding the 
wind and rain, we had a happy and cheering gath-
ering of the saints, some came many miles to hear 
and staid all the day, to have their minds and spit -
its refreshed. At the afternoon service there was 
probably more in attendance than at any other place 
of worship in our city, on that rainy Sabbath day. 
The audience was very attentive and composed large-
ly of intelligent looking men, who were gathered 
perhaps for the first time to hear of the things per-
taining to the near coming of the World's Redeem-
er. 
In the evening he pursued his work in showing 
from the Bible the promise and the instruction giv-
en to Daniel concerning the resurrection of those 
that wait and come to the 1335 days, "the end of 
the days" presenting the chain of history through 
which the church has passed, during the 1260 days 
of papal rule and completing the evidente by refer-
ing to the old 1843 argument to show where the 
mistake was made, and why it was made, viz. By 
adding five years to the date of the Justinian De-
cree of A. D. 533, making it A. D. 538 and so end-
ing the 1260 days in A. D. 1798 which was an er-
ror. 
At the close of the service,many old friends flock-
ed aronnd Bro. H. and expressed their joy at hear-
ing him again,thanking him for the manner in which 
he had so ably sustained the truth, and clearing up 
to their minds the time when we might reasonably 
look with hope for the coming of the Saviour. Some 
of these friends had not heard him preach for twen- 
Prom Bro. Thomas Sweet. 
DEAR BRO. Buss esteerethe Herald one of 
the best religious papers in the world4 for its truth 
regarding course. I esteem it also for its important, 
timely appearance, in arousing a dying world and a 
sliding church to a sense of their danger and in 
awaking the slumbering virgins with, "Behold the 
Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him." I 
should be happy to be able to take the Herald con-
stantly, but shall endeavor to send for it as God 
gives me ability. 
Yours in hope.

DEAR BRO. Buss :—I feel thankful to my heaven-
ly father that I have the privilege of reading your 
valuable paper, which comes laden with spiritual 
food for the souls of men in these trying times,which 
ty years, and showed the renewed interest they felt 
by purchasing the bound volume of the 'Voice of the 
Prophets.' 
Our day of mental feasting, closed by adopting 
the accompanying resolution,which was unanimous. 
ly passed by taking a rising vote ; the congregation 
remained standing until requested to be seated ; 
when the negatives were asked for, but none rose. 
Bro. H. responded to the call, with assurances to 
comply if providence permit.

to the resolution.

interest manifested by the audience in the subjects 
presehted by Eld. J. V. Himes on the Second Com-

of Lectures on the Prophecies, so soon as in the pro-
vidence of God he may be able .

MY JOURNAL. 
Return from Wilbraham to Boston, Sept. 1. The 
camp meeting was closed, and a largo number of 
happy and cheerful souls took the cars for Boston. We 
had a pleasant time in singing and conversation in 
which strangers took an interest and wanted to hear 
more, than we were able to impart, amid the noise 
of the cars. 
Friday Sept. 5. Went to Danielsonville, Ct. Ar-
rived at 6, P. M. and was welcomed by Dr. Jones 
and family. At half past 7, P. M. 1 gave an intro-
ductory sermon to a good audience, on the impor-
tance of earnest effort for the salvation of souls. It 
was well received by those who are themeelves ear-
nest workers, for souls, of whom there are some 
here. 
The church of Adventists here consists of 80 mem-
bers. They have a large and convenient chapel, 
which is generally welllfilled. Four or five years since 
there were but two families of the Advent faith here. 
These got lecturers to come, and preach to them on 
the coming of Christ, and now they have a little 
host. A good example for others who are isolated. 
Let the Adventists bestir themselves. Go to work. 
Let thy light shine. Don't be timid, or fearful. 
Pray, and spread the doctrine of the soon coining 
kingdom. Time is ,short. 
Saturday Sept. 6. Expounded Is. 44 : 1-8. Show-
ing the grounds on which we may hope for a revival 
of religion. There were many testimonies at tl,e 
close, with indications of good. 
Sabbath, Sept. 7. In the A. M. Rev. 1: 3. The 
duty of the church to study the prophetic word. In 
the P.M.explained the mariner of studying prophesy 
—the discursive,and the historical,with illustrations 
from Is. 11 : Dan. 2: and 7th, and in the evening 
spoke on Dan. 12: 12, 13, showing the evidence of 
the time when "Daniel will stand in his lot." 
Of late years the days in Daniel have been inter-
preted as literal, instead of symbolical, by a class of 
interpreters in England called •quturists." Some 
persons lin this country have adopted this view of 
the prophetic periods. But as yet I see no good rea-
son for this new view among protestants. It is the 
Roman Catholic, and German Neological view of 
the prophetic periods, and I see no way to avoid 
falling in other very serious errors in following them 
in this particular. Besides, it upturns the whole 
protestant system of interpretation, and especially 
of the year day theory. 
The Rev. P. R. Binks, of England in his "Ele-
ments of prophecy," object4 to this theory. In his 
remarks on the 1290, and 1335 days of Daniel, he 
says :—Elements page 366. 
"The periods 1,290, and 1,335, days are the first 
of the disputed passage, in which the (see page 5) 
shorter reckoning has any claim to be more literal 
than the other : while in all those which follow the 
dates occur in the symbolical parts, and not in the 
explanations. And here there are no less than four 
cautions on the face of the passage, to keep us from 
resting in the bare letter. First, in the peculiar 
form, as already noticed, which is without scrip-
tural precedent, that periods of such length should 
be expressed in days only. Secondly, the words by 
which they are prefaced : "None of the wicked shall 
understand, but the wise shall understand." The 
meaning then was not to be evident at first sight,but 
would require the exercise of spiritual wisdom. 
Thirdly, the two periods are a supplement to the 
times previously mentioned, which had already re-
ceived a key to their true meaning, in the vision of 
the seventy weeks. Finally the assurance, that the 
prophet should "stand in his lot in the end of these 
days," naturally implies that those days are them-
selves of a longer continuance than might appear 
from the letter of the prophesy. But these verses 
suppl3 us with another argument which results from 
a close examination of the periods themselves. 
"In the first place both these numbers are exten-
sions of the times, time and a half, which, reckoned 
as in the book of Revelation, are 1260. There are 
thus two successive additions thirty and forty-five 
days. 
"Now it is difficult to conceive that the Holy Spir-

I believe the herald will be sustained so long as we 
need it. Our Father will not deprive us of this bless-

don't want to say, stop my paper ; for the Lord has 
always provided a way for me to pay for it, sooner 
or later, and also to help others. I trust He will do 
so as long as it is best for me to have it. Thy will 
be done. All our springs are in Thee, 0 Thou in-

"0 could I speak the matchless worth , 
0 could I sound the glories forth,

In loftiest notes, with sweetest praise 
I would to everlasting days 
Make all His glories known. 
Who can his mighty deed express, 
Not only vast hut numberless, 
What mortal eloquence can raise 
Such tribute ofyinunortal praise.

try men Souls. 1 love to hear from my brethren and 
sisters of like precious faith. It helps support me 
under my trials and afflictions. My faith is yet firm 
in God. Though he [afflicts me with others, I will 
yet truet in him. 
One year ago last month, I had two sons (twins) 
who enlisted in the United States service in the 18th 
Beg, While at Ileall's Hilt one of them was taken 
sick the last of April, with typhoid fever. and died 
thefirst day of March play 1 aged 19 years 9 
months. In a few days his brother was taken sick 
with the same fever, came nigh unto death and has 
been in the hospital ever since. But I still feel that 
God is good; for r believe they were both hopefully 
converted on the same evening, about five years ago. 
They have felt it a duty ever since to testify to the 
goodness of God in the prayer and conference meet-
ings. When Christ comes to make all things new I 
expect to meet them with you in his kingdom on the 
new earth, where there will be no war,nor sickness, 
pain, or death.

miles from this City. lie was attending court as a 
juror and I accidently met with him in a shoe shop. 
He spoke to the shoemaker about the war,and said he 
generally went to the Bible to find out about it. I 
then spoke to him, and tried to show him from the 
Bible that we arelnear the end, I also introduced 
the Advent Herald to him, and told him of what it 
treated ; and he said he would take it for six months, 
and if he liked it he would continue it. The shoe-
makes said he knew he would continue it ; for he 
bad read some of the papers and they were the best 
papers he had ever read. I had lent him my Herald 
several times.

the Herald, which I hope will be sustained while it 
is needed.

From Emery Edes, a well-known merchant of Oxford,

it before in our community."

my testimony to that you publish of the medicinal virtues 
of your SARSAPARILLA. My daughter, aged ten, had an 
afflicting humor in her ears, eyes, and hair for years,

" I had for several years a very troublesome humor in 
my face, which grew constantly worse until it disfigured 
my features and became an intolerable affliction. 1 tried 
almost everything a man could of both advice and medi-
cine, but without any relief whatever, until I took your 
SARSAPARILLA. It immediately made my face worse, 
as you told me it might for a time; but in a few weeks 
the new skin began to form under the blotches, and con-
tinued until my face is as smooth as anybody's, and 1 am 
without any symptoms of the disease that I know of: I

From J. E. Johnston, Esq., Wakeman, Ohio. 
"For twelve years 1 had the ellow Erysipelas on my 
I 
right arm, during which time tried all the celebrated 
physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of dollars' 
worth of medicines. The ulcers were so bad that the 
cords became visible, and the doctors decided that my 
arm must be amputated. I began taking your SARSA-
PARILLA. Took two bottles, and some of your PILLs.

as anybody. Being in a public place, my case is known to 
 
everybody in this community, and excites the wonder of 
all." 
From Hon. Henry Monro, A f. P. P., of Newcastle, C. W.,

general debility, and for purifying the blood, with very

to the afflicted." 
St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald

From Harvey Sickler, Esq., the able editor of the Tank-

"Our only child, about three years of age, was attacked 
by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until 
they formed a loathsome and virulent sore, which cov-
ered his face, and actually blinded his eyes for some days. 
A skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other rem-
edies, without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we 
guarded his hands, lest with them he should tear open the 
festering and corrupt wound which covered his whole 
face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope 
from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA, and apply-
ing the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct. The sore 
began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and 
was well when we had finished the second. The child's 
eyelashes, which had come out, grew again, and he is 
now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neigh-
borhood predicted that the child must die." 
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease. 
From. Dr. Hiram Stoat, of St. Louis, Missouri. 
"I find your SARSAPARILLA a more effectual remedy 
for the secondary symptoms of Syphilis, and for syphilitic 
disease than any other we possess. The profession are in 
debted to you for some of the best medicines we have."

lature of Massachusetts. 
"Die. AYER -My dear Sir: I have found your SAR-
SAPARILLA an excellent remedy for Syphilis, both of the 
primary and secondary type, and effectual in some cases 
that were too obstinate to yield to other remedies. I do 
not know what we can employ with more certainty of 
success, where a powerful alterative is required." 
Mr. Chas. S. Van Liew, of New Brunswick, N. J., had 
dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuse of mer-
cury, or mercurial disease, which grew more and more 
aggravated for years, in spite of every remedy or treat-
ment that could be applied, until the persevering use of 
AYER'S SARSAPARILLA relieved him. Few cases can be 
found more inveterate and distressing than this, and it 
took several dozen bottles to cure him. 
Leucorrhcea, Whites, Female Weakness, 
are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Ulceration, 
and are very often cured by the alterative effect of this 
SARSAPARILLA. Some cases require, however, in aid 
of the SARSAPARILLA, the skilful application of local 
remedies. 
From the well-known and widely-celebrated Dr. Jacob 
Morrill, of Cincinnati. 
"I have found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent alter-
ative in diseases of females. Many cases of irregularity, 
Leucorrlicea, Internal Ulceration, and local debility, aris-
jug from the scrofulous diathesis, have yielded to it, and 
there are few that do not, when its effect is properly 
aided by focal treatment." 
A lady, unwilling to allow the publication of her name, 
writes: 
"My daughter and myself have heen cured of a very 
debilitating Leecorrhcea of long standing, by two bottles 
of your SARSAPARILLA." 
Rheumatitm Gout. Liver Complaint, Dyspep- 
sia Heart Disease Neuralgia, 
when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured 
by this EXT. SARSAPARILLA. 
AYER'S 
CATHARTIC PILLS 
possess so many advantages over the other purga-
tives in the market, and their superior virtues are so 
universally known, that we need not do more than 
to assure the public their quality is maintained equal 
to the best it ever has been and that they may be 
depended on to do all that they have ever done.,

periods that fill up the future of this world's dura-
tion, to the final consummation.

'n Lowell, was relieved of pile which had afflicted him 
for many years, and remarked to a friend that it was worth 
a hundred dollars a box for piles. 
Miss Harriet Morrill, of East Kingston, N. H., says : 
nave been afflicted with piles for over twenty years. The 
last seven years I have been a great sufferer. And though 
l never expect to be well, yet to be relieved as I am from 
day to day by the use of your Golden Salve, fillsmy heart 
with gratitude." 
From Mr. J. 0. Merriam, Tewksbury, Mass. : "I have 
a large milk farm. I have used a great deal of your Gol-
den Salve for sore teats on my cows. I have used many 
other kinds of salve. Yours is the best I ever saw. I 
have also used it for sprains and scratches on my horses. 
It cures them in a short time. I recommend it to all who 
keep cows or horses." 
From Dr. Geo. Pierce, Lowell : " Your Golden Salve is 
good. It will have a great sale." 
From Dr. W. S. Campbell, New Britain, Conn.: "Your 
Golden Salve is a great thing for chilblains. I have also 
used it in afflicting cases of salt rheum, erysipelas, and 
sore nipples. Its effect was, a speedy and permanent cure." 
Dr. Bliss, of Brunswick, Me., says : "I have several 
friends who have been cured of scrofulous humors by the 
Golden Salve. You may ecommend it from me as a val-
uable Salve." 
" I received a wound in my foot by a rusty nail ; by 
reason of which I could not set my foot to the floor for 
two weeks. The pain was excruciating. When your Gol-
den Salve was applied, it relieved the pain in a short time, 
and two and a half boxes of it wrought a perfect cure."-
Mrs. Lucinda A. Swain, Merideth Centre, N. H. 
Mr. H. L. W. Roberts, Editor of Marion Intelligencer, 
 
Marion, Ill., says, "Every person that uses the Golden 
Salve testifies favorably." He has also published a list of 
names in his paper, of persons cured of wounds, sores, hu-
mors, rheumatism, &c., and gives the public reference to 
them ; who, he says, are among the first citizens of the 
place. 
THE GOLDEN SALVE-A GREAT HEALING REMEDY.-It 
is with much pleasure we announce the advent of this new 
article in our city, which has met with such signal success 
in Lowell, where it is made, that the papers have teemed 
with cases of truly marvelous cures. They chronicle one 
where the life of a lady was recently saved-a case of bro-
ken breast ; another where the life of a child was saved- 
a case of chafing ; another of a lady whose face was much 
disfigured by scrofulous humor, which was brought to a 
healthy action in a few days ; also another of an old man, 
who, had a sore on his foot for twenty years-cured in a 
few weeks. Our citizens will not be slow in getting at it 
merits, and will herald it over the land.-Boston Herald. 
Boston, July 12, 1859. Bro. Whitten : I have used your 
Golden Salve in my family, and I am acquainted with a

mend it to be.

Memoirs of William Miller. 
By the author of the Time of the End-excepting 
the first three chapters, which were by the pen of 
another. pp. 426. Price, post paid, 75 cts. 
Few men have been more diversely regarded than 
William Miller. While those who knew him, es-
teemed him as a man of more than ordinary mental 
power, as a cool, sagacious and honest reasoner, an 
humble and devoted Christian, a kind and affection-
ate friend, and a man of great moral and social 
worth ; thousands, who knew him not, formed opin-
ions of him anything but complimentary to his in-
telligence and sanity. It was therefore the design 
of this volume to show him to the world as he was 
-to present him as he appeared in his daily walk 
and conversation, to trace the manner in which he 
arrived at his conclusions, to follow him into his 
closet and places of retirement, to unfold the work-
ings of his mind through a long series of years, and 
scan closely his motives. These things are shown of 
him by large extracts from his unstudied private 
correspondence, by his published writings, by nar-
rations of interviews with him, accounts of his pub-
lic labors in the various places he visited, a full 
presentation of his views, with the manner of their 
conception, and various reminiscences of interest in 
connection with his life. 
WHITTEN'S GOLDEN SALVE is a step by way of 
Y progress in the healing art. It is adapted to all the 
purposes of a family Salve. It effectually cures piles, 
wounds, bruises, sprains, cuts, chilblains, corns, burns, 
fever-sores, scrofulous humors, erysipelas, salt-rheum, 
king's evil, rheumatism, spinal difficulties, chafings in 
warm weather, &c. &c., and is believed by many experi-
enced and competent judges to be the best oenibination of 
medicinal ingredients for external inflammatory difficul-
ties that has ever been produced. Many of, the best phy-
sicians of the various schools use it and also recommend it. 
Every farmer should have it for horses ; for the cure of 
scratches, sprains, chafings, te., and also for, we teat on 
sews. It cures felons. It cures warts. 
From Mr. Morris Fuller, of North Creek, N. Y.: "We 
find your Golden Salve to be good for everything that we 
have tried it for. Among other things for which we have 
ised it, is a bad case of scald head ' of our little girl. 
its effect in this case was also favorable. 
We like your Golden Salve very much in this place.

BOSTON, NOVEMBER 18, 1862. 
For the Herald. 
Answer to Enigma in the Herald 
of November 4th. 1862. 
When the foul spirit 
Did lead Saul astray, 
He sought to slay David, 
Who, fleeing away, 
Escaped unto IVIichal, 
Thus saving his lite ; 
Who though the king's daughter 
Was his loving wife. 
But the king's anger 
Waxed stronger and stronger ; 
He was grieved to the heart, 
That his javelin dart 
Caused not David to part 
With his life and his all, 
'Stead of smiting the wall. 
So he sent men of slaughter 
To the home of his daughter; 
To watch without warning, 
And slay in the morning. 
But Michal aware 
Of the slily laid snare, 
Said to David "Beware! 
"If thou 'scape not to-night 
'T will all be in vain, 
To-morrow's sun bright, 
Will witness, thee slain:" 
And David was wise:- 
Taking Michal's advice 
He fled through a window. 
Escaping that night, 
He was far on his way 
Ere the dawning of light. 
But the messengers sent, 
When the night was far spent, 
Called, "Up David ! be quick 
But said Michal, "He's sick." 
And an image with care, 
She put in a bed 
With a pillow of hair. 
Deceived by the ruse, 
The messengers event 
To report to the Master, 
By whom they were sent. 
But he in a rage 
Said fetch him to me; 
If sick-in his bed, 
That slain he may be. 
They return on their mission, 
But find to their cost, 
That David was missing, 
Love's labor not lost. 
The bed was not empty, 
For Michal was there 
Embracing an IMAGE, 
On a pillow of hair. 
The ruse was played out, 
For David was gone, 
And Michal was left 
With her image, alone. 
The riddle unravelled 
Is plain to my mind ; 
But I cannot commiserate 
An image though blind. 
Admitting it guileless 
Deceiving the king, 
Not sinning though faithless-- 
(Poor innocent thing.) 
It seemed the king's son 
When the messengers went : 
But they returned wiser 
Than when they were sent. 
It was not a king 
Though they thought it his son ; 
And time was thus gained, 
And the kingdom waswon 
Thus we fathom the mystery, 
By telling the history 
Not of an infernal, 
Nor yet a supernal : 
Not even a man, 
But an image so fair, 
That a king's daughter placed 
On a bolster of hair. 
Waterbury, Vt. ,Nov. 10, 1862. 
Perfect Trust. 
A gentleman was walking one evening 
with his little girl upon a high bank,below 
which ran a canal. The glistening water 
charmed the child, and she coaxed him to 
descend the bank, saying, in her owu 
childish way, 
"0 pretty ! do take me to it." 
The bank was very steep,the road down 
a mere sheep-path, and in descending the 
gentleman had to swing his child in the 
air, holding her by the right arm several 
times. Whenever he did this the child 
laughed gleefully, although she was in real 
danger. 
At last they reached the tow-path in 
safety. Taking his daughter in his arms, 
he said: 
"Tell me, Sophy, why you were not 
frightened when you were swinging in the 
air, supported only by my arm to prevent 
your falling." 
Nestling her plump little cheek upon 
her father's face, and clasping her little 
arms around his neck, with an endearing 
smile, she said, 
"Papa had hold of Sophy's hand. So-
phhy could not fall as long as papa held 
her !" 
This was perfect trust, Happy is that 
man who, having committed nimself en-
tirely to God's will, can calmly look to 
Him and say, "Hold thou me up, and 1 
shall be safe." He can also say, "God 
has hold of my hand. I cannot now be 
harmed," 
The Good Shepherd. 
Great Shepherd of thy sheep, 
Who all thy flock cloth keep, 
Leading by waters calm, 
Do thou my footsteps guide, 
To follow by thy side, 
Make me thy little lamb. 
I fear I may be torn 
By many a sharp-set thorn 
As far from thee I stray; 
My weary feet may bleed; 
For rough are paths which lead 
Out of thy pleasant way. 
But when the road is long, 
Thy tender arm and strong 
The weary one will bear ; 
And thou wilt wash me clean, 
And lead to pastures green, 
Where alt the flowers are fair. 
Till from the soil of sin, 
Cleansed and made pure within, 
Lear Saviour, whose I am. 
Thou bringesl me in love, 
To thy sweet fold above, 
A little snow-wnite lamb. 
A Box on the Conscience. 
A poor boy was on his way to a school 
one pleasant morning, when he began say-
ing to himself, 
"How nice it would be if I should find 
an apple this morning ! It would come in 
just right to eat with my dinner. The boys 
often bring apples, but I don't, because 
mother is ton poor to buy them. 0 how 
I wish I had some money to buy ap-
ples with T' 
With such thoughts straggling about his 
brain, and such wishes peeping out of the 
windows of his heart he reached the vil-
lage market. • There he saw great piles of 
apples. He stopped, looked at them wist-
fully, and said, "What lots of apples ! I 
only want one. One apple is not much to

he conceives to be of more importance than the 
great salvation and the speedy coining of its Author 
to judgment. A single man is rather preferable.

RECEIPTS, 
UP TO THE DATE OF THIS PAPER. 
The No. appended to each name is that of the HERALD to 
which the money credited pays. No. 1075 was the closing 
number of 1861 ; No. 1101 is the Middle of the present 
volume,estending to July 1, 1862; and A's 1127 is to the 
close of 1862, Notice of any failure to give due credit 
should be at once communicated to the Business Agent. 
Those sending money should remember that we have 
many subscribers of similar names, that there are towns of 
the same name in different States, and in some States there 
is more than one town of the same name. Therefore it is 
necessary to give his own name in full, and his Post-office 
address - the name of the town and state, and if out of 
New England, the county to which his paper is directed. 
An omission of some of these often, yes daily, gives us 
much perplexity. Some forget to give their State, and if 
out of New England their County, while some fail to 01 
 
even their town. Sometimes they live in one town and 
date their letter in that, when their paper goes to another 
town; and sometimes the name of their town and office are 
different. Some, in writing, give only their initials, when 
there may be others at the same post-office, with the same 
initials. Sometimes, when the paper goes to a given ad-
dress, another person of the same family will write res-
pecting it,without stating that fact, and we cannot find the 
name. And sometimes those who write, forget even to sage 
their names ! Let all such remember that what we want, is 
the full name and post-office address of the one to whom the 
paper is sent. 
Those mailing, or sending money to the offce by other 
persons, unless they have a receipt forwarded to them, are. 
requested to see that they are properly credited below. And 
if they are not, within a reasonable time, to notify the office 
immediately. 
As a general thing, it is better for each person to write 
respecting, and to send money himself, for his own paPter 
than to send by an agent, or any third person, unless such 
one is more likely to get his own name and post-offi3e right,, 
than another person would be ; that money sent in viall 
sums, is less likely to be lost than when sent in larger ones' 
and that a third person is often subjected to postage, morel/ 
to accommodate the one who sends.
