THE END OF THE WORLD.

A LIVELY ANDINTERESTING PROGRAMME
FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS.
Anew Canadian book of the prophet
ic sensation order, is thus sketched by
the Detroit Post:
"Coming wonders expected between
1867. and 1872" are fearful to contem-
plate, if the prediction thereof can be at
all relied upon. The data of the pro-
phecy are found, as they always are, in
the hook of Daniel and the revelations.
In the first place, Louis Napoleon is, it
appears, "the last head of the Roman
Empire" Among other proofs is the
fact that the term Louis in Latin is Luz
dovicus, and the numbers correspond
ing to the letters of that name are L
sou W Sd 5000 v5-1-c 100
u SIS $3.50; that the Greek datiye
Napoleonti, in an equally ingenious
manner, gives 666, and that Louis Ma
poleons Bonaparte, in Hebrew, also
makes 666.-But there is also an iden-
tity between Napoleon and the Greek
from Appoleon, and the Greek word mai
truly, hence Napoleon is the "True
Appoleon," Now 666 is the number of
the Wild Beast in Revelation xiii, I.
Hence the present Emperor of the
French is the last head of the Roman
Empire, who is soon to make a seven
years covenant with the Jews. Then
he is to absorb ten European kingdoms,
being the ten horned beast of the ''pro-
phecy." A great agitation in the
Church militant will arise, the Jewish
temple will be restored, and the sane,
tuary cleansed for Christ's coming.
These are the wonders of the first year.
In the second year, there will be an in
creased activity of the three frog-like
demon spirits of Infdelity, Democratic
despotism (of which, perhaps, the Con-
necticut election is the commencement,
and Jesuitical propagandism; Napoleon
will make war upon Egypt and conquer
it; the Turkish Empire will be dissolv-
ed, and the "four horned kingdoms I"
of Greece, Egypt, Syria and Thrace he
re-established. The third year opens
with the resurrection of all the deceas-
ed saints who, with $4,000 watchful
christians, are to be caught up together
in Heaven. This will be followed by
an unparalleled religious revival, and in
successive years, hail and fire, mingled
with blood, are to scorch third of the
earth. Michael and Satan are to renew
their war, the Christians are to flee to
awilderness and be miracolusly support
ed for three years and halt, then eight
months of universal war, a third of the
sea to become blood, third of the riv-
ers, and even lake tunnels, like that OF
Chicago, cannot save the numerous vic
tins of this impure water, third ofthe
sun, moon and stars are to be eclipsed,
nothing it will be observed, is to be
done by halves.) Napoleon is to unite
under him the ten kingdoms of Great
Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Algeria
Tripoli, Egypt, Greece, Syria and Tur-
key. Napoleon will capture Jerusalem
commence general persecution Of
Christians, confscate the Romanist
church properly, institute public wor.
ship of his image, imprint his name or
peoples foreheads and hands, then ia
mine for eighteen niezatth, a great smoke
for three weeks, five months of locusts
horsemen and horses breathing brim
stone which, let us hope, will exter
inmate the rheumatism and popula
complaint of Scotland) with variou,
sores and fountains Of blood, and the
battle of Armageddon, and earth
quakes, and variety Of other agree
able experiences which will keep mer
in an exceedingly lively and disturbed
condition for seven years. This non
sense is supported by quotations from
fifty or more other writers as crazy as
the Rev. Mr.. Baxter, the author of thi,
work. He urges an immediate discus
sion on the subject, as, "by these un
paralleled troubles and calamities. the
present opportunity of freely traversine
the countries and preaching the gospel
and announcing the coming of Christ
will ere long, to a great extent, be taker
from us. :"
