THE PERSEVERANCE OF MILLERIsM.-We had
supposed that when the day set apart by the Second
Advent people for the destruction OF all things
| subunary, had come and gone, they would, from
| decent respect to public opinion, if Tor no better
| motive, abandon their wild deluslon, and cease
manlac-making. But we understand the leaders
are by no means disposed to 'give il up So" and
| are intent on keeping up the excitement. This
looks to us like nothing better than sheer hypocrisy
and dishonesty, especially after such positive
| surances the following have been published TO
