TREAsURER's OFFICE,
Jackson, Mi, July IL, 1913.
To The Honorable, The
Legislature ftke STATE Of ,uississippi;
! would represent 10 your Honorable
body, that on the 3lst of March last past,
received from his ExcelIency, r. M. Tucker,
Governor of tho State of Mississippi, the ap-
pointment Of Treasurer of said State, for the
unexpired term of the former incumbent,
r. 8. Graves.-That upon entering upon the
discharge of its duties, found that the
books Of my predecessor were so far behind,
that | could not, without neglecting the
current business Of the Office, bring up and
close bis official duties without the aid of a
clerk. Il was very desirable that the amount
of defalcation should be ascertained at an
early period, as we'll to satisfy the just ex-
pectatIons Of the citizens, as to sustain the
action TO be brought against Col. Graves and
bis sureties. In order to effeciuatC those
objects, | employed Mr.. William w. VERIFY,
a skilful and competent clerk, 70 aid me,
who entered upon the duties Of his Office on
the 10th Of May last, since then be has beer
actively engaged in the discharge Of his du.
ties, and ask your honorable body 10 make
Mr.. VERIFY adequate compensation for Id,

upon him.

The Widow.

No object presents TO the eye Of bencvo-
lence more claims upon its sympathy than
the widow. If death robs her early of the
husband of her love, her yonng and ardent
affections are withered, and hopeless path
of misery opens TO her view. The bright
anticipaiions in which her fancy has luxuri-
ateG in early life, the viriuous love that had
warmed and animated her young heart. the
rapturous glow that springs from requitcd
affection, all fade upon her sight, in the
death of the object that inspired them, and
despair spreads on her desoate bosom the
waVeless calm Of misery. Ii she seek in this
season of sorrow for the worlds sympathy
and find it, her sorrows are soolhed and al
layed; but if she seek and find il not, her
stricken heart strikes back dismayed at the
lextent of her loss, and she is left TO stem the
curTeni OF an unfeeling world, with no pilot
but inexperience and no compass but de-
spair. lfhoweVer, her fortitude bear up and
cause her TO rise superior to misfortune, and
j if, through the efforts Of a we'll regulated
mind, she succeeds in restoring herself to
calmness and serenity, there will not be
wanting those who will trace it 10 forgotten
affection or desire for new conquest. If
subdued in feeling, wllra heart smitten too
sorely by misfortune, she yields herself an
unFesisiing victim 70 the storm, there will be
others who will coldly chide her for indul-
ging morbid sensibilily and an unavailing
sorrow.
Then blame her not If in her effort 10 es-
cape the ills that assail her in her perilous
path, she wrecks her bark on :he one or the
other shore. L IS only given 10 superior in
telligence TO navigate safely the ocean OF
life, when no storm shall sweep over lis sur
face; and thrice blessed are thev who over
whelmed by sorrows, perplexed By doubts
and dismayed b. dangers. pursue the even
tenor of their way and at last anchor in a
port Of safety.

but many ms-statemens; one of the least of ,yb;cb
Is the date of the crucfxion about which il seen,s
that he and his feow-laborer the publisher Of the

ton so simple matter as this date, what conf.
dence shall we place in their pretensons to the
knowledge of another date, of which men and an.

Our readers at distance may wish to lea IN
the present state and prospects of this heresy.-
In the city and vicinity, we have satisfactory cv.
dence to say, the deusion is on the wane. On
the evening alluded to in the paragraph cop,ed
above. friend Of ours attended their meeting.
when the Lords Supper () was celebrated, and
the Mierites Of the city were assembled in one
place. ii informs US that the church was very
far from being full, and although the invitation to
communicate was extended to ..all who love
God and their neighbor," few avaed themselves
OF the opportunity. There was no enthusiasm
"a the meeting, and he said that the impression
torcIbly made on his own mind was this-sThese
men are either exhausted with their exertions to
create an excitement, or they do not believe
WORD they say" In remote parts of tho country
we hear, but ony y through their own trnmpets, OF
the spread of tho deIusion, but if these reports
are no nearer the truth than their boasts of great
things here in the city. we mus, receive them
with large discount.

The End not quite Yet.

Those who have been disturbed by the false
prophets of Merism, will be gratiied to hear
that according to tho last givlngs forth Of The Or
ace at 36 Park Row, which is now tho Vatican,
The end has been little further postponed. 1t
will be remembered that the first declaration OF
Miller was that the end is 10 come in 1913. A
few months ago he issued an epstIe to his bcllev-
ers, in which he signihed his expectation OF tho
coming Of the Lord on some uncertain day, be-
tween March 81, 1874. This was adding nearly
three months, or one quarter, to the year of pro-
baton. 'The las, midnight Cry" the Organ of
MiIlerism, is pleased to lengthen the days of the
years of man, by the addition Of nearly one
month more. The following is the Off :ial an.
nouncement.
From The "MidnigM Cry," lip IL l3, ls43.
1--WE believe there is great reason for expect
ing Christ's coming TODAY, which is the ami
versary Of the Passover, at which he was cruci-
fed, yet we feel we have no warrant for saying
the 23OO days may not extend ono year from to-
day, for if day represents year, the abundant
long.suffering Of the Lord may spare Il wicked
world till the very close of the year symbolizcd
by the last of the 2300 days, and scoffsrs may
become bold, till every Christians heart may be
so weaned from earth, that he will pray in earn
est, Thy kingdom come.'"
Accordingly, these deceivers expect 10 propn.
gate their delusion from month to month, defer
ring the catastrophe as long they can find poor,
human nature credulous enough to tolerate theiI
unscriptural and presumptuous rawlings.
But this paragraph which we have quoted from
the "Cry," is important IN another view. IL
states that the Lord Jesus Christ was crucied Sat
the Passover" Mr.. Miller says he was crucifed
"two days before the Passover" and as he has
nevor. 10 our knowledge. retracted this assertion
although it has been pointed out repeatedly, W.
are to presume that he still maintains the samt
opinion. Indeed he tells that for tive nty three
years he has been studying the Bible, and has new

Animal Magnetism.--One DR.. Shaffard, m &C.

Haverhill Mass Gazette upon the subject. He
arrives at the conclusion that mothers had better
keep their daughters at home, than suffer them
to bo paved over, and exhibited like monkeys and
