DIR. TynEand DIR. Cumming ON the second
Coming.

THE SECOND COMING on THE LoRD.---It may
sound strange to some of our readers to be re-
minded that some of the most eminent Doctors Of
the Old Dispensaton still maintaining that the
day Of the Lords literal personal appearance is
rapidly approaching. We see II mentioned that
Dr.. Cumming, an eloquent Scotch preacher, and o
popular theological writer, has published work on
the /" Signs of the Times" in which he afiliates
very closely with the views Of the Milerites.
His theory Is that Christ will come in l864--that
the advent will be what is termed pre-millennial,
or, In other words, that Christ will come before
the millennium, and the mennial glories will con-
sist Of Christs personal reign on earth for thous
and years-that the Jews will be literally gathered
to Jerusalem to be converted-that the Moslem
power Is about to expire, not by destruction Of the
Turks, but by their conversion and absorption into
the Church--that Popery will be destroyed by
Christ's coming, and not before it.
Strange as their visionary phantasies may sound
to one whose mind has been even in the least de-
gree opened to the reception Of the rational light
Of the new dispensation yet such notions still
extensively promulgated through the pulpit and
the press, and not simply by the deuded Miller
ties, but by men who are highly esteemed for
their learning and eloquence. Dr. Tying, formerly
Of this city, now Of New York, has, within the
last few years, publicly and earnestly advocated
doctrine identical in its main features with the one
referred to above.
Several Of the Episcopal bishops hold and teach
the same docIrine. Fl

Young Lady turned Maniac-The Boston Chron-
icle of Monday says:

Saturday was the day on which it was believed
by many Second Adventists, that all temporalmat-
tiers would be brought to close; but again they
have been disappointed In this connection we
may mention a sad case which has been reported
to US. A beautiful young lady, In an adjoining
town, whose worldly prospects were as bright as
her friends could wish, lady Of rare mental en-
dowments, education, and sweetness of disposition,
became impressed with the belief in the doctrine
of the Second Advent, as understood by the class
of persons just mentioned, and ON Thursday last
became maniac.

movals at Gosport, and approves Of the same, in a
paragraph Of twaddle about the "Hghts of con-

removed because they were members Of the Amer
lean party. No doubt the order for their removal
was sent from the Navy Department, and was APP
proved by the President. The same course has
been pursued in this city, as indicated by the

Of long standing and eminent services in the ranks
