In tho contest for public favor, half
the battle is already fought for any
book 'Which comes to usin the beautiful
external qualities which grace thiß issue
from the press. In the matter which
fills its pages, it is safe to pronounce it
equally felicitious. A few of the poems
are repqblications, but most of them
are new—compilations from a pile of
inamtscripts from different hands—“ be
ing the effusions of earnest and devout
mindß, speaking aloud the sentiments
breathed in the sick ohamber, or when
the heart was crushed with sorrow, joy
ful through hope, or jubilant with
praise.” ¥o have ventured to tran
scribe a specimen. It will be found on
another page, under the title, “The
Germs of the Beautiful.” One thing
about the book we do not like, though
others will—-the name. It is ho doubt
beautiful, but these poems have a warm
Christian tone, and they should not have
a wintry name. For sale as above. :
The Early-Dawn; or Sketches of Chris
tian Liee in England in the Olden
Time. By the author of “Chronicles of
the Schonberg-Cotta Family,” With In
troduction, by Prof. Henry B. Smith, D.
D. New York: M. W. Dodd. pp. 397.
The “ Chronicles of the Schouberg-
Cotta Family" have been extensively
read, and have met with but one judg
ment from readers. The jJasthas not only
been made to re-appear to us in its
freshness, but in truthfulness also. Lu
ther and his times are clothed with the
charm of romance, and yet we feel our
selves in the midst of facts. For the
present book it is sufficient to say, that
the scene is transferred from Germany
to England. It portrays the multiform
history of the Christian life in England,
from the Druidical age to the time of
the Lollards. The style has the
same originality of conception and the
same attractiveness which have already
distinguished the writings of the author.

The present is the second number of
the “New Series,” or more properly the
new dispensation of the time-honored old
Knickerbocker. Under the able editor
ship of L Holmes Agnow, it opens for
itself the new career of a Politico-
Literacy: Magazine —of what character
may be fudged from this statement in
the prospeotns: “ This arrangement has
been 'ffiade at the suggestion of leading
gentlemen connected with the Demo
cratic .party. and other conservative
organizations, for the purpose of estab
lishing, on the, basis of the old Knicker
bocker, a Magazine of high, character
and extensive circulation, wbioh will
furnish the appropriate antidote, to the
radical dootrinea of the extremists;"
At the head of the list of “ leading gen
tlemen” who have given to this arrange
ment the sanction of their names, stands
Goy.-lloratio Seymour. Amobg them
we notice also the names of General
McClellan and Hon. C. J. Biddle. These

as the Ist,.lBth and 14th in the above
table. The literary portion of this num
ber, so far as we have cast our eye over
it, is wholesome and lively.

The lending artioles of this number
are: The Donatist jHodes
of Evangelization ; Buckle’s History of
Civilization; The War and National
Wealth; Water Baptism and that of the '■
Spirit; and a pretty full resume of the
proceedings of the late O. -S. General
Assembly. Twenty- three pages of tho
latter are devoted to a narrative and
review of the proceedings in the case of
Dr. MePheeters, who, for alleged dis
loyalty, was displaced by the Presby
tery of St. Louis, from tho pastorate of
the Pine Street Church in that city.
The conclusion of the Reviewer is
against the action of the Assembly in
refusing to reverse that of the Presby
tery, declaring it in bis estimation “an
injustice which has few, if any, parallels
in the history of our church."

M. Henan, the author of tlie “ Life
of Jesus,” has been.removed, by an Im
perial decree from the professorial chair
in the College de France, which he had
recently attained under patronage of a
Minister who desired to rescue him
from dependence on fortune, and to
raise him to an eminent position. The
Paris correspondent of the American
Literary Gazette says:— •* There was a
misunderstanding between them about
engagements made. Public opinion
was wounded by the declarations made
by M. Renan in his opening lecture, and
which were the more offensive because
they were wanton. Voices which ought
in every civilfzed: community to have
great weight called for his removal- : I
bold that M. Renan was bound, as an
honorable man and as aman of delicacy,
to resign that place. He had disap
poined his patron, or he had got into
the house by mistake." _.
The London correspondent of the
same paper says: “ The Reader ,” whose
lists'of new publications are by far the
most accurate of all that are published
in London, makes up au aggregate of
312 works, as representing the mass of
books published here in June, which is
equivalent to an increase of some thirty t
over the preceding years. With an in
crease in the quantity there has been
no deterioration in quality, but, oh the*
contrary, on the whole, there is a mark
ed improvement.

scarcely a more delightful book iii the
whole range of English historical read

Macaulay, you feel sure that you may
safely rely upon every Word Sir Francis
Palgravo utters. It is sure to Be as

,7 : ;
THE MESSIAH’S SECOND ADVENT.
Dr, Hatfield is contributing a series of
articles on this topic to the American
Presbyterian and Theological Review. In
the last article he gives a sketch of the
opinions which in different ages, have
been more or less prevalent as to tho
time of its secon d coming, sho wing ,that
the extravagance of the Millerites. has
been frequently exhibited in earlier times.
Guided by the current opinion, the
Second Coining of the Messiah was con
fidently expected in the sixth century;
The signs of the times were portentous-
The previous century had brought dbwn,
from the frozen North, vast and Irresis
tible hordes and Goths and Vandals,
who swept over the sunny South, laying
waste its fertile plains, ravaging its
towns and villages,. giving over its
populous cities to be sacked and con
sumed, and sparing neither sex nor age
in their thirst for plunder and . blood.
Irretrievable ruin Lad overtaken the
grand old empire of the West, and the
foundations of society had been convuls
ed to their very centre. Still fresh
swarms of savages, Huns and Tartars,
were pressing forward, obscuring the
whole Northern and Eastern horizon,
eager to share in the abundant spoils.
Surely, the thousand years had expired,
and Satan had been “ loosed out of his
prison,” to deceive the nations' which
are in the four quarters of the earth,
Gog and Magog, to gather them together
to battle ;” and tbeir number was “as
the sand of the sea.”
As the century advanced, the omens
became still more marked. Comet after
comet with its immense train glared
angrily for weeks together in the
heavens, portending wars, plagues and
shiverings of the earth. The fifth and
thirteenth years of Justinian (a. d. 531,-
539,) were thus made memorable. Fear
and terror seized the people, and not
without cause. The result fulfilled their
worst forebodings.. Year, after year, at
times the earth trembled and shook.
Proud, Bybantinm, for forty days, was
subjected to these fearful shocks. The
whole empire felt them. “ EnormOus
chasms were opened; huge and heavy
bodies were discharged into tho air; the
sea alternately advanced, and -retreated
beyond its ordinary hounds; and a,
mountain was tom from Libanus, and
cast into the waves.” “ Two hundred
and fifty thousand persons are said/ to
have perished in the earthquake of An
tioch.’’* Borytus, with its illustrious
university, was swallowed up. It fell,
July 9 tb, 551. ;
.. Nine years before, the Plague, the
most terrific scourge of antiquity, had
begun its work., Entering on its career
of desolation lon the borders of the Nile,
it spread Eastward; and Westward
along. the Mediterranean, penetrating
on one hand Persia and India, and on
the other Greece, Italy, and tho regions
beyond. Year after year, it pursued its
awful ravages, with more or lass) vir
ulence. More than half a century of
years it prevailed on the earth. The
number of itß victims has never 1 been
.computed. Proeopious, whose own ob
servations supplied material for bis
graphic descriptions, wants words by
' which to show forth its horrid triumphs.;
At Constantinople, during three
months, .‘five,;, apd-lat length ton, thou-'
sand persons died each'day.” “Many
cities of the East were left vacant, 1 and:
in several districts of Italy the harvest
and the vintage withered on the
ground.” f The mortality of the cen
tury, by tho plague aloue, has been es
timated as high as one hundred millionsT
Well might the miserable d wellers on
the earth, in. the midst of these accumu
lated horrors, deem that the day of
doom was at band, that the “aeven an--
gejs Laving the seven last plagues,”
Were pouring out "their : vials upon the
reprobate earth. Vastly greater reason
had they for such a conjecture, than
had the poor enthusiast, who waited so
eagerly, a score of years ago, for the
coming of our Lord to destroy the
world. .
As tho first thousand years of ora waS
drawing to a close, advantage was ta
ken, by not a few of thC nriesthopd,;to,
stir up the populace: with the expecta
tion of the ■ immediate approach'qf the.
Last Great Day. - Tbe views of the Au
gustine respecting, the thousand years
of the Apocalypse were reproduced,: and •
every where credited. That famous pe
riod: was about to expire. Satan, was
about to be let loose. The terrible
uchrist, foretold by Paul; and supposed:
to be identical with the “ Gog arid Ma
gog” of John, or at least, their prince,
was soon to be revealed. The grand
conflict —the last great battle—of tbe
ages was. soon to be fqnghfc. The Lion
of the tribe of Judah was sure to come
shortly, to ‘put an end to the reign of
the “Old Serpent,” to destroy the
world, and bring an everlasting righ
teousness. The old exploded dogma of
the limitation of time to six thousand'
years was revived. The Septuaginl)
for hundreds of years, had given place
to the Vulgate, with its peculiar chro
nology. According to the new reckon
ing, the sixth chiliad was just about to
commence, and ibis was regarded as a
very proper occasion for the introduc
tion of a ne w and grander dispensation:
The pulpit sounded the alarm far and
Iwiqey' ahd : eAlef ' drLwds -gathered 1 to*

the theme of universal discourse, it was
upermOst_in every one’s thoughts.
Hence immense numbers, transferring
their property to the churches and mon
asteries, left all and proceeded to Pales
tine, where they, supposed Christ would
descend from heaven to judge the world.
Others, by a solemn vow,'consecrating
themselves and all they possessed to the
churches, the monasteries, and the
priests, served them in the character of
slaves, performing the daily tasks as
signed them; for they hopod the Su
preme Judge would be more favorable
to them, if they made themselves ser
vants to his servants. Hence, also,
whenever an eclipse of the sun or moon
took place, most people betook them
selves to caverns, and rocks, and caves.
Very many, also, gave a large part of
their estates to God and the saints—?, e.
to the priests and monks. And, in
many places, edifices, both sacred and
secular, were suffered, to go to decay,
and, in some instances, actually pulled
down, from the expectation that they
would no longer be needed. Tbisgene
ral delusion waAOpposed, indeed, by ’a
few wiser: individuals; yet nothing
could overcome it, till the century had
closed.- But, when the century ended
without any great calamity, the greater
part began to understand, that John
had not really predicted what they so
much feared.
“ This belief," says iiobcrtson, « was
so universal and so strong, that it ming
led itself with civil transactions. Many
charters, in the latter part of the tenth
century, begin in this manner: “Appro
pinquanto mundi termino," etc. “As
j the end of the world is now at hand, and
by various calamities and' judgments the
! signs of its approach are now manifest."
The .“ Gesta Episc. Leodiensium,”
written about a. d. 1050, describe a ter-.
| rible panic, in Calabria, among the army
of Otho, occasioned by an eclipse of the
| sun, said to have occurred in 995; possi
bly the nearly total eclipse of May 7th,
970, recorded in Struyk's catalogue:
| “ Smitten with an incredible terror,
| they thought of notbingelso but.the ap
i proach of the day of judgment. Some
basely hid themselves away in wine
casks, some in chests, others under wag
ons.; Every one prized the opportu
nity, if,, on that unnatural night, he
could find.a hiding place for-himself.”*
Of the last year of the century, a. d.
1000, Sigebert, who flourished at the
close of the next century, and wrote a
chronicle of the times, says: “Many
prodigies appeared. A tremendous
earthquake occuired. A comet made
its appearance. At nine o’clock on the
19fch of January,the?heavens opened,
and a’ torch, as it w,ere, with a long
track, darted, . like -lightning, to the
earth, so that not only they who were
in the fields, but they, also, who were
in the houses, were dazzled with the
light; which fissure gradually faded
away, and a figure* appeared as of a ser
=petrfr» with a---hugo head and cerulean
feetJ'y ' : '
The long looked for and dreaded year,
the first of the second thousand of our
era, passed like all its forerunners; the
second also; and still the- world moved
on; the pursued; its wonted course| in
the heavens; and the scoffer could say,
and doubtless, after so much prognosti
cation on the part of the priesthood, .did
say,—“ Where is .the promise of his
coming? for, since the fathers fell asleep,,
all things continue as they were from
the begirining of the creation.” '
In the third year the: people took
heart,, laughed at their fearB, and began
r to -undo the folly of the recent reign of
terror “As the year 1003 approached,”
writes Grlaber Budolphus, A.' D. .1045,
“ there waR almost the world over,;but
especially in Italy and Prance, a gene-1
ral repairing; of the churches. Ad in
tense' eniula< ion prevailed Among the
Christian people in the matter of church
decorations. ? It . was as if the; world
had every where east off its old-'gar
ineuts'j/and was decking itself with the
white.Yaiment of the . churches.” .The
splendid"cathedrals of Strasburg, May
onee, Trior, Speyer, Worms, Basil; Di
jon; others, .date from : this
period—monuments.and: memorials of
the great panic, and fruits of the spoils
acquired by the priesthood.
The panic was in. some measure re
newed when, a few years afterwards,
Jerusalem was trodden under foot by
the Turks. “In the year of our Lord
1009,” says William Godell, the chroni
cler of the period, “ through God’s per
mission, the land of Judea was invaded
by the unclean Turks, Jerusalem was
taken,., and the glorious sepulchre of
CHrist our Lord fell into their hands."
In theyear following, when these events
were reported throughout the world,
fear and grief filled the ; .hearts ; of most
people, since they imagined that the end
of the world had arrived, arid the better
disposed, turning tbo occasion to profit,
seriously addressed* themselves to the
reformation of their .lives” .
The .world wap kept almost continu
ally in a state df-aliirm in respect to the'
last day; The thousandyears had been
dated From the incarnation. Mow the
was thought to be the termi
nus a quo ; and then the destruction of
Jerusalem by the Eornans. Aventinus,
the annalist, relates that daring the
reign of Henry IV., about a. d. 1062, a
report was of constant prevalence that
the end of the world was at hand.”J So
greatly and generally had the outward
church become a sink of immortality,
at this period, and so completely had
impiety, infidelity, and every form of
vice aud crime taken possession of the
priesthood of all orders, with rare ex
ceptions, that thoughtful and serious
men, bore and there, were emboldened
openly to declare that Antichrist had
Surely l come, and seated himself in the
temple of God; and that, consequently,
the Second coming of the Messiah to
judge the world was momentarily to be
expected. -

was just about to come. In every age
a class of men is to be found, who take
special interest in exposing the immor
alities and degeneracy of their own
times; who regard the days in which
they live as the very worst of all; who
cannot believe that any future age will
exceed theirs in depravity; and who
therefore look upon the predictions re
specting the Antichrist of the last days
as an actual fulfillment before their
own eyes The Keros of Pagan, and
the Borgias of Papal, Rome, the Alarics,
Attilas, and Genserics of the North, the
Hildebrands, Leos, and Napoleons of
the West, have each, in their turn, been
identified with the Man of Sin. Now
it is an individual; then an organized
system or dominion. In no one partic
ular have interpreters differed more
than in their identification of the Anti
christ of John's epistles, and the “Ano
mos" of Paul—“the Man of Sin." The
Apocalypse.makes no specific mention
of either. AH sorts of speculations have
been started and maintained as to the
times of Antichrist, and the period of
his operations; some confining his, do
minion.to the forty two months of the
Apocalypse, and others extending the
time to nearly thirteen centuries.
