I There are more Jews in Poland, than
In any other country in Europe. POLAND
was the scene of their last chastisement
Iu the beginning of the last year, the
Russian monarch issued proclamation
commanding all men to enroll themselves
in Warsaw, as volunteers, to serve in 81
IBERIA, Kamschatka, and other sterile
tracts Of country in both Europe and
Asia; enactng the penalty of death to
all who refused, by the authority of a
military court martial. 1t was the last
agony of the Jews The Polish frontier
was environcd by an entrenchment, brist-
ling with bayonets, and machinery Of war
and through this host, the vanguished
thousands OF Jacob, fed by night with
wives aud children, to become outcasts
and wanderers through the world.

The learned have generally agreed, that
the time fixed, or calculated upon for the
second coming OF the Messiah. corresponds
with the time fixed by the Jews for his
first. Both conjecture on Daniels weeks
and it is very singular, that each indie
pendently arrived at the same conclusion,
with regard to his appearance. There is
grand and subtitle comprehensiveness,
in these emphatic details of prophecy
Yet why do they not make conclusions
from the 53rd chapter of Isaiah. This
portion of Holy Writ, has ever been a
stumbling block in their way. Any Jew
that was ever converted to Christianity.
since the days of Paul, was converted by
the attentive perusal of this chapter. Af,

&" Who hath believed our report? and to
VI nom shall the arm of the Lord be re-
vealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a
tender plant, aud as root out of dry
ground: he hath no form or comeliness /;
and when we shall see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire hinf.
He is despised and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows and acquainted with grief {:
and we hid as it were our faces from him
hewas despised and We esteemed him not
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and
carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem
him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.
But he tc0S wounded for our trans
gressions, he 'eas bruised for our iniqui-
ties: the chastisement of our peace ,Ods
upon him; aud with his stripes We are
healed.
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we
have turned every one to his own way !;
and the Lord hath laid on him the ini-
guilty of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth: he is
brought as lamb to the slaughter, aud
as a sheep before his shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from
judgment: and who shall declare his gen
Grafton? for he was cut off outof the land
of the living: for the transgression of my
people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wick
ed, and with the rich in his death be
cause he had done no violence, neither
pas any deceit in his mouth.
q Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him
he hath put him to grief: when thou
shalt make his soul an Offering for sin, he
shall see his seed, he shall prolong has
days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall
prosper in his hand.
+" lie shall see of the travail of his soul,
and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge
shall my righteous servant justify many /;
for he shall bear their iniquities.
"Therefore | will divide him a portion
with the great, and he shall divide the
spoil with the strong; because he hath
poured out his soul unto death: and he
was numbered with the transgressors; and
he bore the sins of many, and made in
tercesslon for the transgressors.
This prophecy was written 1900 years
before the birth Of Jesus: and it was
passages from this chapter that the eu.
much of Ethiopia read aloud in his cha
riot, when Philip met him. The charac-
