The EnriI,nnnke,

We do not pretend to have the gift of
prophecy, nor have we any desire 10 alarm
people Of weak nerves but in view of the
facts above stated, it is our duty to call
attention 70 tho shaky condition of our
globe at the present time. Almost every
day for some time past we have published
startling accounts OF terri BILE earthquakes
o. vol anic eruptious from old oraters and
from new clefts in the crust Of the globe
o. the sinking down Of Islands beneath the
ocean Of the rising of the sea fifty feet
above is ordinary level OF tornadoee such
as have hardly been known since the food;
of showers of meteors, and of general
disturbance in the heavens above aud in
the earth beneath. What all these things
portend We do not pretend to say; they
arc ominous. The first question that arises
is has tho world become so wicked that
the walls of the wrath spoken Of in the
Apocalypse are now being poured down
upon it Aud here we think the writer's
on prophecy. the expounders Of Daniel and
st. John the Evangelist, are at fault and be-
hind the times. Where too are the Mil.
lcrites and those wonderful modern Spirit
ualists who can see through q milestone
easier than ordinary mortals can through
glassP People who have o clear view of
what ia passing in the seventh heaven and
all other heavens by merely closing their
cyes and calling the disembodied spirits to
their aid ought TO DO able to throw light
on the subject.
The prophets and revealers Of prophecy
and the penetrating mediums being unable
to satisfy u, we must ask what are men Of
science doing to explain the startling phe-
nomenon? They too, seem to be ignorant.
But our scientific men, as far as we have
heard, appear not to have any knowIegde
of the matter. Mr.. Dellisier, French sa-
want, ii seems. actually redicted the eai th-
quake and hurricane at st. Thomas and
other parts of the West Indies. He even
gave the date, the 18th OF November, and
it was on the night of the llth thas the
couvulsions of nature commenced on were
p, eceeded by terrible display of e1eciri.
cal light. From that time to the 18th Ja-
maiCa, st. Thomas and large portion of
I the West Indies were in fearfuIly con-
vnlsed state. Mr.. Dellisier, II is said, made
] his calculations from astronomical abserva-
tons and frVa the influence Of planets on
the surface o1sle earth. 1t is reported he
is preparing 3 work on the subject to be
read at the Academy of Sciences at Paris.
This work will be looked for with great
interest, and when We get it the religious
and spiritual prophets may be helped out
of their dilemma. We may then know
whether the spheres Of the universe are
going to iostle against each other and bring
the world to an end. But where is philoso-
pher Loomis and all our other savans just
