THE glorious Millennium, or the
thousand years, when Christ will
reign on earth, is thought by most Di
vines to be nigh at hand ; possibly the
pretent generation may not pass away
before the happy period arrives ! 0 glo
rious era, how long ere thou wilt com
mence ?$h cannot, however, fays rhe
bert calculators oil the fubj<A, exceed
the 6oOo;h year from the creation of the
world; when Satan, that enemy and
destroyer of mankind (who has so uni
versally and that with great power ru
led ana reigned in the hearts of the chil
dren of men) Gull be taken and bound
a thousand yeari, that he deceive no
more ? when Christ ihall take to him-,

from the river to the endgof the earth ;
eftaWiffi at the mount at Jerusalem a
Temple where all the nations of the
earth who are left ihall go up yearly to
worship the King and keep the feaft of
tabernacles. What happy times will
there then be tthea all those numberless
fedaries of religion which now prevails
in the world, (hall harmonize and unite
in one, each go hand in hand the past
way of life ! beautiful indeed to behold
Chriflians whose lives have been devo

faith; one Lord and Worihip ! to fee
Judah the trouble, of Ephraim, and E
phraim of Judah no longer at variance ;
but each one faying to his neighbour
arid brother, come let us go up and wor

the majety and beaut, of bis Temple ;
the profpea must be pleasing beyond
conception. 6 may we all as the time
approaches live lives of godliness and
Sobriety that we ma, obtain an iatereft
in Christ's temporal kingdom,thatwhen
the period commences we may meet
the approbation of our Judge and reign
with him here in glory ! and that Pro

One Sunday's morn were walking,
Ox various fubjeds, this aud that,
With much fang froid were talking.
Per chance as near a house of prayer
They fearleGurg'd their careless way,
The deacon of the church they meet ;
In robes bedizen'd for the day.
He bow'd, and thus the tars addreG'd,

Surely you'd better walk with me ;

" Friendship is a sacred
word, a holy thing; it never
lubfifts but between good
men, nor commences but by
a mutual esteem : It is kept
up, not so much by a benefit
received or conferred, as by
a virtuous life. That which
makes one friend assured of
another, is the knowledge he
has of his integrity.. The
fu reties he has for him, are
his good disposition, his truth
and constancy. No friend
fhip can subsist where there
is cruelty, treachery and-in
justice.. When the wicfed'
meet together, it is a conspi
racy, not a society of friends.
They cannot mutually aid,
but are afraid of one another,
they are not friends, but;
confederates in guilt."

redirig their own faults, their

“ A VERY sensible and

that when he fettled in the

would all with one accord,

a few years, he laid, convin
