THE MILLER nEIIrSLON.

The Mierites are still determined that the
world shall not last much longer. They aresat
this time, in many portions ofthe North holding
camp meetings and proving the sincerity Of
their fauaticism by giving away their goods and
chattels to the unbelevers. We are not inform
ed, however, whether the people who have faith
in this sort Of things possess any large amount
of worldly pelf 1t is not often the case that men
who have acquired considerable sums of money,
believe that the world is ever coming to an end.
We should like to be in the neishborhood of
some such converts, when they are in mood of
giving away their filthy lucre, and putting on
their ascension robes.
What grounds there are for the fresh outbreak
of the Millerites, we have not learned. They do
not pretend to any revelation of Divine purpos-
es except that contained in the scriptures, and
their interpretations of the sacred text, and the
calculations based thereon, have so often proved
erroneous, that thew ought by this time TO have
some of their own infallibility. Its strange that
people should bother themselves about the time
when the world will come to end, when il is
quite certain that they themselves must come TO
an end before long, and in all probability leav-
the earth behind them, to roll around in its pa
tent course, and give birth to new generations
and new humbugs.-- Richmond Dispatch.
