A borrespondent, under the signature of " A Prophetic Dreamer" writes a long letter on the ahovo soject to the Mouras dikonoam, which Canotados as follows: To inter into details would not suit the columns of a newspaper, but, perhaps, a few words may not be out of place. Baboo is to say, that accepting tho sadient and waiverend tradition, that the gir days of orention, typilled 6,060 years of 900 dya et 2.180.000 days sa the duration of the world's diapensation, and reducing them to tras Folar years, they smoant to 5,818 years and 328 dnys, and by adopting the Jewish computation of time, os explained by the cycle of XIX.

The various lengths of the year of unbiont nations, the presision of the equinoxes and other causes, willall make a difference; but if the writer's' theury be gorrect, there can be no mistake as the termination of the 6,000 years being in 40, 5914, and that this corresponde with AD. 1889, or burenboute, the present i state of Rurope, and its political events go far to cerroborate; all of which tead to the con viction timed the 70th-week-of- Daniel's scle brated prophecy, the granted periods of 7 "Times, 2,300 days, &o, are on the eve of their complete fcibimont; even ut our very doors.dras Atheneum,"
