MORAL LESSONS.

From the Cincinnati Chronicle. THE MILLENIUM. Sermn on the Millenium by J. S. Tomlinson, D- D., President of Augusta College. The Millenium is a theme most zealously

?velt on by one part of Society, and, as strongV ridiculed by another. The latter looking at .'he very imperfect condition of Society, now,

and not trusting implicitly to the common conduction of Prophecy believe it impossible, or It best extremely improbable that the world

ffill in anv finite time be brought into that bet

ter condition represented, by the term Millen

iDi. It is nevertheless a fact that the whole Christian world believe in the approach of a Deriod.in which Christianity in name and prac

tice shall be completely triumphant, and which

period is understood by the word Millenium

All professing Christians believe tins, out an

Jo not agree in the period of time, at which

will occur; nor the exact state of things when

it does happen. What is the true exposition of

the Prophets on this point, and what is the true character of the Millenial period, have occupied

maxvv very acute minds. As is usual in doubt

fill constructions, commentators have differed

in the results, at which they arrived. Of many

writers, however, on the Prophecies, we believe

all aree, that such a period is distinctly pre

dieted, and all, or nearly all, agree, that in the received construction of Prophetic Time, the

period of the Millenium is comparatively near. Doctor Tomlinson, in the Sermon before us.

places the commencement of the Millenium at 155 years hence. Most expositors place it much nearer. But first, what is really meant bv the term Millenium? The writer answers

this question thus: !It is generally understood to refer to a period more or less distant, in which the Church of God shall be blessed with an unexampled amount of prosperity and glory. Or in other words, a period in which the Christian religion shillbe universally triumphant; not only pervading, but actually exerting its reforming and

purifying influence throughout every part of

the habitable globe.'

When we consider the History of the Chris

tian Church since its foundation by our Savior. Its super-human resistance to persecution armed with all the physical power of the earth; Its equally superhuman resistance to corrup

tion within itself; its conquest over half the globe in numbers, and far more than half the globe in power, its present union with Arms,

Arts, Letters and Science; and that spiritual power of Faith, in the heart of the believer, which has for eighteen hundred 3-ears proved invulnerable to the attacks of foes without,and the corruption of foes within,when these things are all considered the belief in thecomparitively V uvWiuvo iOwwvlktMiv) Cttatfc -0 j doctrine. The Millenium, viewed in this light, ceases to be a marvel only received by religious enthusiasts, but is to be viewed, as a natural and inevitable moral consequence, from moral causes, which have moved on with ceaseless current, and resistless force, since the world began. But when will the Millenium commence? The most common exposition and the one, we believe given by a distinguished lecturer recently in this city (President Juniin) is that the epoch, from which the prophetic period is to commence is the year 606.

The prophetic period is agreed to be 1269

rears. This would make the Millenial epoch

186624 years hence. Doctor Tomlinson, hawever, makes the c

poch 755, the year at which the Roman Church

commenced its temporal dominion. The 1260 being counted as Jewish years, makes 1242 of ours, which being added to 755, makes the Millenial period 1997, 155 years hence. Upon this construction, we may add this reasonable de

duction from the facts of history. It is certain, that, if the world were to go on for 155 years, just as it has done for 155 years past that some

thing very like the Millenium would be produced. 1- The United States has for 150 years doubled its inhabitants each 25 years. In 150

years more, then, we must have, on the continent of North America more inhabitants than the earth now has, provided the soil can maintain them. But, the Arts of Agriculture, as well as all others, have so increased that it is perfectly reasonable to suppose, they can be maintained. If, schools, Colleges, Churches, the Press, and the dissemination of the Bible, go on as they have done, they will be the most enlightened and Christian people, by far, that nave ever lived.

i. within 150 years 100,000,000 Hindoos have been conquered by British Arms, and the

"e.s and the College been planted in the

midst. It is, therefore, almost, nay quite inevitable, that in 150 years every foot of Asia will

e under the dominion of the Anglo-Saxon Mee. In the meantime, the Press, the College, and the Bible will there produce their natural

nna benign effects upon the Asiatic mind. Long before that period then, we may expect upon common historical grounds, by a process

nations of Asia, as those of Rome did, forsake

Jerusalem will be re-inhabited by its ancient Pwple, and the Zion of Jew and Christian re'umed with holy light. The last fact, to which we shall advert, is he vast discoveries made within recent years, J the Islands of the Sea, and the effect of those discoveries on the civilization and advancement of mankind.

So, then, the loco-fcccs have triumphed in

Connecticut upon the anti-tariff question.

They have avowed themselves opposed to pro

ness and serenity of soul, which conduce greatiy to the health of the bod-, as well as the hap

of the millenial inhabitants, are by no means, entirely unsustained by Scriptural testimony.

The prophet Isaiah, in speaking of that delightful period, says, "There shall be no more

thence an infant of days, nor an old man that

hath not filled his days;'5 that is, as I understand it, there shall be none among them.whose

life shall not extind beyond the period of infancy; neither shall there be any that shall live to the period of old age without continuing to live

the most perfect peace and unanimity prevail between man and man, but even the wildest

The Bankrupt Jatr. It was gravely predicted by many, that the practical operations of the Bankrupt law would benefit neither individuals nor the community. The result lias

! shown the incorrectness of that prediction.

The Philadelphia Gazette speaks of the effects produced by this law in that quarter: ' So far as we can learn, the results of its operations are most happy. Inexorable creditors have been obliged to yield, and thousands, who were willing to surrender every farthing of their projverty, are now no longer "under

the harrow." Compromises have been made on every side, amicable agreements entered into, old affairs closed up, and fresh, clean led

gers opened, by men whose hands have been shackled so that their time was misused and

their industry profitless and unavailable. The

practical workings of the law are as happy as thev arc tlecisivc upon the interests of both

parties. We consider the law as one of the most benign in its influence and important in iis results which has ever been enacted by the American Congress."

POETS. All the poets are indebted more or less to those who have gone before them; e en Homer's originality has been questioned, and Virgil owes almost as much to Theocritus, in his Pastorals, as to Homer, in his Heroics; and if our countryman, Milton, has soared above both Homer and Virgil, it is because he has stolen some feathers from their wings. But Shakespear stands alone. His want of erudition was a most happy and productive ignorance; if forced him back upon his own resources, which Mere exhaustless. If hU literary qtialifieatior.s made it impossible forhim tobor-

borrowing unnecessary. In all the ebbings and fiowings of his genius, in his storms, no less than in his calms, he is as completely separated from all other poets, as the Caspian from all

other seas. But he abounds with so many ax

Witchcraft. King James' reason in his "Dfcmonology," why there are or were twenty women given to witchcraft for one man, is curious.
