will it be till the end of the Greek church and Russia. The Roman, and, perhaps, the English church, will fall before Russia does. The period is, doubtless, very close at hand, but we can not be certain in what year; yet we may look for it soon.

2. The secular three and a half times are equal to 1810 years and also to 1810 years and 20 days; and, also, to 1708 years. Dating these severally, at the last passover, 14th of Nisan, or 97th day of A. D. 68, and the first victory over the Jews or 117th, or 120th, and the 17th of Panemus, or 189th day, when the daily sacrifice ceased, and we are carried forward to the 4th day of July, 1776, and the 117th day of A. D. 1878.

3. The 1290 days are equal to 1708 years, and, also, 1707 years 314 days. Dating one of these on the 8th of Elul, or 239th day of 68, A. D., and the other, at the 189th day, or 17th of Panemus, and we are brought down to the 4th of July, 1776.

4. The 1335 days are equal to 1809 years and 244 days. Dating these from the setting up of the desolator, on the 8th of Elul, or the day of the burning of Jerusalem, or the 239th day of A. D. 68, and we are carried down to the 117th day of 1878. Thus, do the 31 times, and 1290, and 1335 days, end in the very same years, and on the very same days in those years. Within twenty-six years, then, from the date we are writing, the most awful tragedies ever imagined will be realized by the world! The scene is too vast and terrible to dwell upon; its realization will be enough, without any description.

CONCLUSION.

We have, in this discovery, shown the following things:

First. That the seventy weeks, nor any other symbolic period, had never been correctly interpreted.

Secondly. We proved, positively, that the weeks were abbreviated, or consisted of secular time, to which sacred time was to be added, to obtain their full value.

Thirdly. We showed, in four different ways, that by a four-fold method of adding sacred time to the sevenfold forms of the seventy weeks, that they coincided with history, in a four-fold way.

Fourthly. The showing of these fulfillments, not only demonstrates that the prophecy was fulfilled, with amazing accuracy, but it also demonstrates the correctness of our theory, with mathematical precision.

Having, therefore, a key to the interpretation of symbolic weeks, we were possessed with a key to symbolic months, and days, and years. This key has unlocked for us all the symbolic prophecies, with wonderful

exactness.

Thank God, that we have succeeded in this mighty work! "It was good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord, that I may declare all thy work."

THE END.

In addition to a large and varied assortment of

School, Classical, Theological and Miscellaneous Books, which they have constantly on hand, publish a series of VALUABLE STANDARD WORKS,

suitable for the family circle, as well as public libraries. At this time, when the press teems so abundantly with ephemeral literature, the thinking mind experiences a need of more substantial aliment; of something which shall at the same time furnish not only enjoyment for the present, but for after thought; something from the perusal of which, one can arise a wiser, if not a better man and among their publications, they flatter themselves such books will be found. It is their aim to select such works, the intrinsic worth of which will cause them to be sought after by enlightened and discriminating minds, and as worthy of gracing the shelves of their libraries.

Among their publications may be found the following, to which they would respectfully invite attention, To these it is their intention to add the best works of the standard Historical and other authors, and they trust that their selections will be such as to entitle them to a liberal share of the patronage of the book-buying public.

DR. ADAM CLARKE'S COMPLETE COMMENTARY ON THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS.

With a portrait of the author, engraved expressly for this edition, accompanied with Maps, &c. Plain and embossed gilt.

From the Nashville and Louisville Christian Advocate.

"It would be difficult to find any contribution to Sacred Literature that has attained to a higher rank than the Commentaries of Dr. ADAM Clarke. Whether regarded as a prodigy of human learning, or as a monument of what perseverence and industry, within the compass of a single lifetime, can accomplish, it will long continue to challenge the admiration of men as a work of unrivalled merit. It is a treasury of knowledge, in the accumulation of which, the author seems to have had no purpose in view but the apprehension of truth; not to sustain a particular creed, but the apprehension of truth for truth's own sake, restrained in the noble pursuits of no party tenets by no ardor for favorite dogmas. It is difficult to conceive of a complete library without this valuable work, and yet alone of itself, it affords to its possessor no mean variety of entertainment. Besides forming a moderate, but clear elucidation of the true meaning of the Sacred Word, it abounds with illustrations in science, the literature of all ages, and the history of all times and all countries; and as a lexicon for the exposition of abstruse phrases, of difficult terms, and the true genealogy of words of doubtful import, it immeasurably surpasses all similar works of the age.'
