ssThere is not man in the country who

skill, which no ingenuity can elude.
''Nothing seems to escape his eye in analy

Mr.. Spur4e0A en- the Miilen-


The Pail Nall Gazette says: "Somebody
has been sending to Mr.. Spurgeon some tracts
purporting TO be written by himself, which
predict the end of the world as likely to come
next year. The reverend gentleman, at q
meeting held in his chapel this week, thus
energetically repudiated the authorship attrib-
uted to him: you will hear Of me in Bedlam
when you ever hear such rubbish as that from
me. The Lord may come in 1896, and shall
be glad to see Him; but do not believe He
will; and the reason why ! do not believe He
will is, because all these twopenny -halfpenny
false phophets say He will. If they said He
would not come, should begin TO think He
would, but inasmuch as they are all crying
ont as one man that He win come in 1866 or
1857, | am inclined to think He will not ar.
rive at any such time. 1t seems to me that
there are great many prophecies which must
be fulfilled before the coming ofChrist, which
will not be fulfilled within the next twelve
months; and prefer to stand in the position
of q man who knows neither the day nor the
hour in which the Son of Man cometh-look-
ing always for his appearing, but never inter
fering with those dates and figures, which
seem to me to be the only proper amusement
for young ladies who have nothing else to do,
and who take to that instead Of reading nov.
els, and certain divines who have exhausted
their stock Of knowledge about sound doc
trine, and therefore try to gain : little ephem-
eral popularity by shutting texts of Scripture,
as the Norwood gipsies shufaed cards in the
days gone by.

There are certain Indications whlcl, 90

lamented Lincoln, IN Ills later days. is
giving the extreme radicals Il Wild. h",tii:
and hazard no;hin,, in SAYING 'ha> the

loyal people of the South but inclules

dn'ie' stand, upon authority which can
not doubt, that terms equally generous as
those offered to and accepted by Lee and
Johnston will be shortly offered to the
whole Southern people-a few of their
leaders in the rebellion alone excepted.
In other words, there will be u general
amnesty rendered, a disposition evinced,
to make the situation for our "wayward
