phet joe Miller has been only following the natural
tendency of the mind. On this important subject
we ind the following calculation in the " New Lon
don Gazette, and give it for what il is worth in the
better currency -

In addition to this calculation, we understand
that about ten days of grace will be allowed every
person to settle up their accounts, and pay their
taors, bills, before the great day of change comes
down. What this change is to be we have no
means of knowing. Perhaps New Years Day may
indicate the revolution AT any rate the millennium
probably begins next week. Look out. Apropos-
instead of making New Years (next Monday
day Of running, drinking, guzzling, and german
dzing round town, like SO many fools, would it not
be as rational to stay at home, enjoy ones own ia
miy, read the bible-say prayers-and cast up the
general balance of virtue and vice for the past year?
