Give him his gum" said Bonaparte.
The sailor. almost stupeied, looked
at the General, hesitated, but at last
obcyed. Bonaparte then said TO the
bandit, Take good AIM
Without losing second over his
surprise, Giuseppe pointe his gun.
The scene was so rapid and so
extraordinary that the two companions
Of the General were unable to interfere.
They remained there as il they were
paralyzed until the shot was fired.

pieces of bark fell over his clothes.

and approximated about October y.
This day was accepted by all Of the
more intelligent OF his followers, and
great preparations were made for the
mOmentOus event.
Thousands sold their earthly pos
sessions for Il song, and many others
refused to harvest the crops in their
fields, holding that it was tempting
Providence to store up crops for Il
season that would never come. In
some places the local authorities har-
vested the abandoned crops at the
public expense At Philadelphia many
persons went out into the country on
the dav before aud encamped ready
for the great event. while others
gathered on the housetops and spent
the night in singing and praving.
As the number of those who he
lieved that the October date was the
correct one was larger than those who
accepted the earlier dates, so the dis
appointments were greater and the
number of suffering victims much
larger. Hundreds of believers became
insane through the excitement, many
Of whom never recovered their rea-
son. Others fell away from their
faith, and lost their belief even in the
existence Of God.
Since ther many other dates have
been fixed for the earths destruction.
but they have found few believers
Mr.. Miller acknowledged his disap-
pointment, and freely admitted that
he must have made some mistake in
his calculations. but contended to the
dav of his death that the real time
for the second coming OF Christ was
near at hand. He died in lS49, in
the eighty-siAth year OF his age His

FAITH DESTINY.
\ Newly Told Episode in the
Life of Napoleon BOnapartc.


From the Figaro.
On the 9TH OF October, 1899, Il lit
tie before sunset, on the top of one Of
the hills near Ajaccio, three men with
a military appearance and wearing
long overcoats stood looking out upon
the sea. Although the weather was
magnificent, not even fishing boat
was IN sight; the Gulf was deserted.
At the loot of the mountain Il portion
of the town appeared, and the port. in
which four big war ships were at
anchor This was the squadron which
on the 23d Of August left Alexandria

France.
The three observers were Bonaparte
himself, his chief Of staff, Berthier. and
Admiral Ganthcaume.
There is no possible doubt about
it, said the Admiral, holding his
glass; there goes an English war
ship; and further in the distance |
notice two others
"Do you suppose that the Englisl:
have received information ?" suggested
Berthier.
NO" said Bonapar;e these ships
are putting 10 sea without paying any
attention To Corsica.

Admiral" said Bonaparte, slowly,
"in the East man becomes a iatalist.
Now ! believe firmly that destiny is

At this mome;.t one of the sailors
that escorted the three chiefs came up.
He reported singular discovery. On
the crest of the mountain the men
found Il mass of cut Shrubbery, evil
IDENTIFY intended to make bonfire.
This, in all probability, was intended
to be signal that night.
As the sailor finished his report two
gunshots were heard, and shortly
atcrward two sailors brought Il strug-
Cling man before the chiefs. Two
ind viduals armed with guns were
found in ambush behind the rock
near the path. When hailed they
took TO flight. On being pursued
they fired. One was captured, and
the sailors were still pursuing the
other.
The prisoner was Il Young man
about twenty years old. lie wore
brown cap aud hood His dark
face wore Il >avag" expression. His
hard eyes sustained haughiily the
piercing glance of Bonaparte.

Worldly Goods.
PREPARING FOR JUDGEMENT DAY.
How Thousands DOnned ASccn-
sion Robes and Prepared to
Leave the Earth.

NNHE Seventh Day AdveutiSts,
vi who last year gained motor
a iety through presenting to
their church various articles of value,
the whole aggregating about $4,000,
last week made another New Years
Offering at Battle Creek. Mich in the
presence of several thousand persons.
4 close estimate Of the value of the
articles presented has not vet been
made, but il is believed to be far rom
$40, 900.
One of the elders, before the Gilt
giving began. preached short SER
mon, in which he expressed his belief
that the end OF the world was near at
hand, and the violent occurances Of
the time indicated it,
Among the articles hcaped on the
platform when the gifts were called
for watches and chains. diamond rings.
bracelets. silverware, clocks, earrings.
and, in lact, nearly everything in the
jewelry line that could be converted
into cash. Nearly forty bicycles were
also gwen. The whole collection is TO
be sold and the proceeds will be de-
voted to extending the theories of the
order.
The disappointment OF those who
had so confidently predicted and be-
lieved that the end of the world was
fixed for the first day Of january,
1895, is not the first experience Of the
kind that has fallen to the lot Of those
who hay attempted TO set limit to
time aud cut short its flight. From
the days Of Noah there have been
those who believed that the world was
TO be dies rnyed, but i: was not until
after the time Of Christ that tins belief
in the eventual destruction of the
world assumed definite shape. His
immediate disciples firmly believed
that the utter destruction OF the world
would take place in their time, and
through all the earlier years of the
Church the second coming Of Christ
was confidently looked for. Because
lie did not so appear many lost their
faith in Him aud returned to their
ancient gods. This was especially the
case in apostolic times with the Church
at Thessalonica, and the Apostle Paul
took occasion in one of his epistles to
warn the Church that the day of the
second coming was not known and
was of very uncertain date.

MANY DIsAPpoINTMENrs

The history Of the Church shows
that every now and then wave of
belief that the end of the world was
near at hand has swept over the
Church only to be followed by per.
iod Of dependency because Of the dis
appointment experienced During
the first century aud half this second
coming was looked for almost from
day to day. Then preachers and pre-.
tended prophets would set a fixed
time. Some of them would assign no
particular reason for fixing on the
date selected, while others would pre-
tend to have received a special revela-
ton. Not long after the establish.
ment OF the paramount authority of
Rome in all church matters, such
teachings were declared to he heret
cal, and extreme measures were resort
ed to in dealing with such sensational
teachings. Like all other heresies,
however, it fourished on opposition
and its teachings began to see in the
Roman hierarchy one Of the beasts
seen by St John on the Isle Of Pat.
mos.
Finally there arose those who uu
dertook to interpret prophecy and to
tell what was meant bv the visions of
Daniel and the other Jewish prophets,
