coming is nearer than is usually believed The
time. of Daniel, the Prophet, limit period of
1900 days, which nrc taken by Christians for SO
many year, and those years expire in l843. The
period of Antichrist is accounted to be $50 years
and that is thought to have commenced in the
reign of Justnian, and TO have expired in the
overthrow of the Pope by Bonapar.e.


The mectisg wa, profoundly attentive, and the

quivocaI appreciation, only the firing time,
which notwithstanding the earnest and powerful
eloquence of Mr.. Hines, failed to convince and
satisfy the audience. But so far as the awaken
ing of public attention goes, the Convention has
been attended with the happiest results. The
pastors of churches direct their studies toward the
interesting theme in many with new emo
tions; and many Christians reud the Bible with
an in1uring mind, to learn whether these things
so and some are becoming daily more and
more convinced of the truth and importance of the
sentiment expressed by the Chairman, and made

We cannot be mistaken in ascrbing the author
ship Of these sketches to the accomplished lady of
Hon. VIM c. Rives, and their origin doubtless
dates from his residence abroad as Embas.ador to
France. The volume comprises three tales of un-
equal length but much merit, and some sixty pages
of fragments of journal, depicting the scenes
and incidents of journey through Switzerland
There nre some verses in the volume which are
not poetry, but the prose is graceful. vivacious and
repleie with interest. This book will well repay

its tendency wholesome, while IL more entertain

work is the frs, of tho season and the account

which is rather longer than an ordinary two-volume
novel. is published in one laree youme. ilus;ra.
