But he islialllve broken without hand.-I)-n. mi‘ 35- Suck a the predicieiibsd of the ~ king of fierce oouiuoiianee,”meutioacd in verse ‘:8, which some commentators (as Dr. Keith) apply to Mahoniet and his success- ors, or men generally, to the whole Maho- inetan power.“ If this ap liciition is correct, ( ' robabloxwe are to under- .-iiaud that the turkish empire, which is the cniefMahometan power, will not be broken by foreign force or violence. but by provi- d--ntial means producin internal decay and ciinsuinption. “fith is view the usual inlcrpretation of (Rev. xvi. 19) the sixth vial accords; the rest river Euphrates being considered a symbol of the 'l‘urkish power, and the “drying of it tip" a figur- ative expression, signifying extinction alter a gradual wasting away and decline. l'Wo.could be sure of the correctness of these interpretations, we could confidently infer that the Russo-Turkish question, as it is called, will be settled either without a resort to arms, or if not, that the issue of the conflict will not be utterly destructive of the Mshometan ower, which is to be broken without (human hand ; or, like the waters of II river, be wasted by exhalation. lt is-remarkable that the Turks them- selves are impressed with the belief that their religion is near extinction. Dr. VValsh has given a copy ofa warning issued lrum the Mosque of Santa Sophia in 1823, contatning among other prophecies the fol- lowing, viz: that in 1270 of the llegira (ttnit is in 1e55,) the sun (which is the em- blem of the Ottoman empire) will rise no more; in 1230 (that is A. D. 1864) the KJl‘fln will disappear, and in l300 (of the Hcglflgilllllchflfll will appear. The ahometans believe that antichrist will come near the end of time,to pervert at d seduce mankind, and turn them into the path of perdition; that after him Jesus (‘hrist wil appear, whose presence utili- clirist will not be able to support, but will bt‘ struck down dead at the sight of him, and be melted like salt. They hold also that Christ, as the vicar of Mahomet, will invite all men to embrace their faith, and leave them no other choice than Mahomctan- ism or the sabre. Death will be the lot of those who are insensible to the light of truth and to the power of Christ's pi-caching. Under one and the same faith all the woild will then be united. These ideas, which originated from Ma- honict himself, and are preserved by an un- tn---ken tradition, show the doctrines of l.-Illlllllfilll concerning our Lord Jesus Christ and his second coming. They profess, in- tll't‘tl, to receive hint as the greatest of the piophets, who appeared before Mahoinet, untl as the only saint predestined to visit this world in the fulness oftiine, to unite all in-~n in the same religion. But in order to do-rive from this a system favourable to Ma- ll:-lllfll, the Imams have impiously subjected our Saviour to the sacerdotal authority of .\lalioniet as his vicar, accounting him the last of the universal Caliphs, who shall conu-i at the end of time to exercise, in the name of Mnhomet, the rights of the priest- hood and Supreme Power over all the people ofthe earth. ls not this the king of fierce coutenance, understanding dark sentences, whom the prophet Daniel foretold should stand up against the Prince of princes, but in the end should be broken without hand? “And! heard a great voice out of the temple, the voice of the Lord Jesus, saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the viulsofthe wrath of God upon the earth. And the sixth an el poured his vial upon the great river Luphrates, and the water thereof was dried tip.” The earth was purged from this atrocious blasphemy. ' Z. Z. ENCOUNTER WITH A CROGJDILE. Letters received in this city state that the Rev. John A. Butle, formerly of South Boston, nowa missionary of the American Board in South Africa, met with a narrow escape from death. He was travellin ‘to Amah Congcra, and was forced, in Is way, to cross the river Umkomazi, which he attempted on horseback. When about two-thirds of the way over, a crocodile seized him by the tin h. fir. Butler was dragged ofl‘, but clung to tho mane of his h rse; and both he and the horse were floundering in water-otlen dragged entirely under, and rapidly going down the stream. At first, the crocodile drew them again to the middle of the river ; but at last the horse gained shallow water, and approached the shore. As soon as be was within reach, natives came to his assistance, and beat of the crocodile with spears and clubs. Mr. Butler was pierced with live deep gushes, and had lost much blood. His horse was also terribly mangled ; a foot square of the flesh and skin was torn from his flanks. The crocodile, it is su posed, first seized the horse, and, when shalien oil‘, he caught Mr. Butler—-first below the knee, andthcnia the th' b.

' lblttlllntbslligltot‘ em all moderation, (eschewing ofcourse drunk- eness) they make haste to march to the music of carriage wheels, to feast their eyes on lush and livery buttons. The rage to ma e vast fortunes arises as much. from tru- rage for display as from the desire to ac- cumulate, and style is pushed up to such a height that soon a man must have an int- mensc revenue to keep pace even with the ower circles of respectable life. This is all bad, comes of badness, and leads to bad- ness. Yet, alas. the men we call by em- hasis " cod," do little as a class to cure it ; the re igious merchant or manufacturer- of wealth is generally a very splendid gen- tleman. Even men whose rsonal car- riage, whose heart, life, and liltings are meek and lowly, allow their establishments to slide up into the splendors. This habit is cuervating our outh, ren- dering family he pincss depen cut on su- perfluities, straining health and principles in a race for dashing style, setting up splen- dour on the legitimate throne of moderation, and icing over domestic piety with candied incrustalions. Unless it is put down, where are we to look for a race of men who can do without a dinner now and then for a work ofcharity, or spend ears in frugal habit- udcs and benevolent hardship. The homes of the comfortable classes are mot-ally un- favourable to the formation of self-denying, heroic men. Among the poor, early hard- ship fits for subsequent privation. Amon the older families, ancestral traditions, mil- itary or naval associates, early familiarity with historic enterprise, tend to make a youth spurn dependence on the indulgences which surround him. The one class gives us hardy soldiers, the other heroic oflicers; but the comfortable class have neither hardship nor family tradition to kindle heroism in their youth, andthe whole course of their modern progress is towards a gene- ration of creatures defendent upon every sort of luxury, and energetic only to win the gold which will buy it. The continu- ance of peac removing from our eyes the examples of self-devotion which war, de- testable as it is, constantly presents, ren- ders it all the more incumbent on us to pro- test against habits which would turn this hardy northren island into a nursery of soft gentlemen who will wine and mope ifthey have only a warm house with a fire, a loaf, a joint and a cup oftea. 'l'he outcrying extravagance and luxury of the day needs a most masterly hand laid upon it; statesmen should smite it, authors and journalists should set the pen upon it, parents should make it a fireside laughing stock, religious men should walk over it, and preachers should burn it with living coals of eloquence. It does one’s heart good to see the “ Ed- inburgh Review,” in an article replete with sense and vigour, pointing to a reduction of the prevalent extravagance as the wise, safe, short path to universal plenty. “ If," says the judicious writer, "the English people could all at once be induced to lay aside their luxurious wasteful and showy mode of life, and adopt the frugality and temperance of the Spaniards, the simple habits of the Tyrolese, and the unosteiita- tious hospitality of the Syrians, how few amon us would not find a supertluity at their disposal? We rejoice to believe that this more rational and homel spirit is spreading among us, especially in detached localities, and we do not think that a goo citizen could render any more valuable service to his country than in promoting it by argu- ment and example wherever his ixucncc cz- t¢ttds.— i-om “ The Successful era-haul,” By VV.

As it is impossible to spend the Sabbath in cold climates without tire and light, the Jewish families who keep servants make it a point to have a Gentile in their service to do these things, and amongst the humble classes, a number of families gene- rally unite in securing the service of a Gen- tile neighbour for the ds .——Nothing could wound the conscience o a Jew more than to be under the necessity of utting fuel on his fire, or snuflin his cand es on the Sab- bath.—TIi¢ Jcui .

Extract from the Colonist of Tuesday :- " We regret to hear that there is a movement afoot to revive the od Halifax races. We had hoped that Halifax had done with these things forever. Nothing brings together more vice and rascality, nothing tends more to deprsvo the mind than horse-racing. In En lsad the race meetings are scenes of profligsoy an vies. There however it is considered that the breed of line horses is kept up b the sports of the turf. Here we have the gain ling and the iniquity without the smallest corresponding neflt.

No one can point to a single benefit derived lroin them. We do not want race-horses We want good cart and coach-horses. The young men of the tow will be much better attending to their business than gambling, and for recreation they will find cricket, rowing, and sailing muc more wholesome, for body and mind, than watching two or three scrub horses persecuted round a mile of ground, with mine money depending on the event then they can afford. and more liquor in their heads than they can steadily catty. Halifax is made for rcgqttas, not for for horse-races The former do us credit. The latter are conisiuptible."
