 HARVARD UNIVERSITY.
 Rev. John T. Kirkland has resigned the Presidency of Harvard University, which he has held nearly seventeen years. The Bos- ton Daily Advertiser says it is probably on account of i'll health; but we should think from the address made to him by the senior class ofthe University, and from the follow ing paragraph, W hich we find in Boston pa per, that there were other causes if i!f health was one.
 "The public will inquire into circumstanc es which have prccipitated a gentleman so much beloved, from his very elevated and dignified station. to the constitution of pri- vate citizen. We suppose the resignation cannot. by any expression of public opinion, be now remedied, any more than it could have been prevented after the promulgation of petty calumDies, which. in the season of hls physical suffering. have been invented to weigh him down. But the public may, per haps express such a judgment in the case as will render those who have been instrument al in injuring his good name, if not ashamed at least abashed."
 From paragraph or two in the Boston Gazette, we should think the resignation had been caused by gross insult offered Dr. K. by Dr. Bowditch, or Rev. Mr. Francis, at a meeting ofthe corporation.
 We understand that Mr. A. H. Everett, Mr. Sparks, MT. John Pickering. Rev. Dr. Nichols, and Rev. James Walker, are named among the candidates for the vacant chair.- We know not who is first on the list.-HQnnp. Jour. -..
 7'he present an Era ot Great Euents.-The movements of Providence in reference to the ! two great Antichrists-the Internal Corrupt or and the Outward FOe-the ROmanist U. surper, and the Arabian Impostor, are most awakening to the thoughtful mind The work of mercy sc happily begun in Ireland-the fp- verish condition of Portugal and Spain-the rapid growth of Christian knowledge in the north of France-ihe prtcarious state of Austria-the blow which Popery has receiv- ed in the New WorId-all these things con- l curing simultaneous with the shaking to their very foundations of the two great supporters of the Mahomedan Delusion, the Empires of Turkey and Persia, may we'll lead the most cautious and sober Christian to conclude that we are actually in a great crisis of the world. Immeasurable fields of labor may be speedily opened to Christians by this shaking of the nations: and. already. the cry of our active Societies for more labOrers and more liberal support, is loud and pressing, because more opportunities for labor are presented to them | than they have the means of fembracing.-So vast are the wants of the world, that unless some mighty moral change should take place affecting at once,Or in short period immense masses of mankind, the supply of Christian knowledge which can be furnished by all our Societies, will but create, as God shall bless it. demand for larger supplies.-Lond.

 The Wane of Mahometnnism. rapid dissolution ofthat Strength of Dominion by which Mahometanism, has been upheld, is truly remarkable; both Turkey and Persia are at the feet of the Christian Powers. The Crescent wanes before the Cross While Turkey was receiving her death-wound in l the forced pacificatiOR- Of Greece by the bat 1 tie of Nayarino on the goth of October, the Russian Imperial Guard had almost the same hour mounted the breach, made by the cannon of the army in few days in the walls of Errivan. the supposed impregnable bulwark of Persia. from which they had been repulsed in 1908 with great slaughter, in a desperate assault made after six months siege; the surrender of Tebriz, the seat of Prince Abbas Mirxa, immediately followed /; and terms of peace were dictated by the conqueror. That power of the Christian World which has long been suspended over the head of the MahOmetan, has thus fallen with weight irresistible; and it is perfectly plain. that. whether in Europe or in Asia, on the arrival of that hour, in the overruling Providence of Him who makes Nations to serve His will, while they mean only to serve their own. when it shall he deemed the inte- rest ofth Christian Powers further to weak en or entirely to destroy the temporal domin- ion of the Mahometan Antichrist, that do- ,ninion hes at their mercy.---London Miss.
