The Standard, in recent article under
the head of bad advice" says:

THE AGE OF THE WORLD.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
BY request | appear before you this day
to give you lecture on the age of the
world The age of the world has become
subject of SO much Importance to many,
on account of the events supposed to be
implicated with it, that some have abso-
lutely gone crazy about it. This makes
1T highly important that we should exam
inc into the subject; and this is what ]
am about to do.
Eve have seer strange things to-day"
(Luke 5, 26,) was the language of Scribes
and Pharisces when they saw such mira
cles performed by the Saviour as no mau
had ever seen before; and should | this
day show you the precise age of the world,
a thing which no man ever before showed,
you may well say as they said, 1--WE have
seen strange things today" Many chro-
nologers have attempted to show tho age
of the world, but the fact Of their differ
ing widely with each other, proves that
they are nearly, if not AL, wrong. Mr..
Bliss tells US NO less than 120 different
opinions are mentioned by DR.. Hales, for
the date ofthe Creation, all differing very
widely from each other, no less than 1868
years. Bliss Chron. p Is. This shows
that there is no reliance to be placed in
chronology to determine the exact age of
the world. 1t might be asked, then, how

These men are trifling with the best in

This report shows that the New Eng
land states have paid in Taxes for the sup
port of the war 81 ,225, ,543 more than the
six Mort Western states above reported
while the census report for 1860 shows
the six North-W estern states have about
1000, 900 greater population than the six
New England States. These figures are
not quoted to show a disproportion in the
taxes of the two sections, for it is we'll
known that the large Manufactures of
New England yield much greater in
come to the government under the excise
law than the agricultural districts Of the
West but we give them to show the fall
lacy of the Copperheae cry above referred
to- Both New England and the west are
willing to pay their portion towards the
expenses OF the war, and the only differ
ence between the two section is, in the
East there are but few tories who are
constantly crying against the government
and the war, while the north west has a
large percentage of that class of citizens.
