The Year of Wonders. "MCIENT PREDICTIONS CONCENIG THE EVENTS OF 1872. To the Editor of the New York World: , ir : When two months ago, M. Ville. meesant, editor of the Paris Figaro, called on the comte de Chambord at the Schweitz er~ of, Lucerne, with a view of indpcing 'that person to make s fusion with the Or- t leanists, he was answered by a magnificent i wave of the hand asd a royally emphatic v deaial. "Mine is the white flag forever, Ili and the lillies will bloom immortal on my r, escatbeon proudly" exclaimed the last of I the Bourbons. Really, M. Villemessant p eght to have known better than to expose s himself to such a rebuff. For once the l, Parisian barber was not so shrewd as his t uesmealke of Seville. He must have for- tj gotten that Henri, comte de Chambord, is a the man of destiny; that to him all the a prophecies of the last 500 years point as the great king, and that he cannot compro- a osme his cause by allying it in any way Swith the revolution. It must have escaped him, more especially, that this year is the holy year of fulfillment, and that, at length, after forty years of weary waiting, c the grandson of Charles X. is to be reward ed for his fidelity to principle by entering h on the enjoyment of his crown: Yes, the ti year 1872 is to be the glorious year of the y modern world. It is destined to open a Sew era, or rath- tj or to be the beginning of the end of times. •a To be convinced of this we have only to C ~am up the incredible marvels of which it t as to be the witness. tl I. A frightful civil war will be waged C between three great parties of *France- 9 Legitimists, Republicans and Bonapartists A This war will certainly take place within tj the year 1872. tl 2.

A great battle, called "the battle of a t~he birch tree," will be fought, in which g Henry V. will annihilate the armies of So SRussia and Prusaia. n" SIt is no aseertained at what precise date an s~ome of thie latter events will take place, in but it cannot be very long after the acces- bei sion of Henry V., beause that prince is the now fifty-two years of age, and, althoungh Ge the prophets give him multitudinonus victo- the ry, tbep do not seem to have accorded him be unesual longevity. We shall examine now he a little in detail the grounds on which all me themse wonderful events are thus clearly nal and boldly foretold. For this purpose it is bo not necessary to enter into dry arobeologi.- diti ral researches. THE OaRAT KING AND THE oangAT PONTIFF. Clear vaticisations about the advent of a out great king and a great Pope at the end of hel the ages are constantly met with in early by * medieval literature, and fragmentary tra- a dltions of the same are to be tound among Ws Sall European nations, and stranger still, let ameong all the people of the far East. far Abount this fact there is no doubt aluong rise slchilars. 'hieU troible among co'mmena- T-le tore has bertn, t, deterneiz u aho the great ni 1 king is amd whl lihe is to usak, his anppear- .e unllce.

So far bsck as the sixth century St. Remigius said to Clovis i Learn, my son, that the kingdom of France is predestined of God to defend the Roman churheb, which is the sole true church of Christ. That Skingdom will one day be great among the s kingdoms of the earth, will embrace all the Slimits of the Roman empire; it will submit all other kingdoms to the sway ; it will ' last to the end of time." The Venerable Bede, in tie seventh cen lis tur., commending this prophecy, sought to corroborate it by the ancient Sybilline ora on ecles. Raban Maurus, abbott of Fulda, wrote in 822: "Our doctors say that one of the kings of France will reign over the whole of the Roman empire. This will be at the end of time, and he will be the ho greatest and last of all kings." He then ly adds that, after a glorious reign, the great king will go to Jerusalem and lay down his m crown andsceptre on Mount Olivet. "This be will be the end and consummation of the It. holy Roman and Christian empire." M. The monk Adson repeated this tradition Id in the tenth century, and it gradually be ed came so popularly known that Tasso cele th brated it in his "Ottave." Ciosarins, whose 33 prophecy is found entire in the "Liber Mi e- rabitis" printed in 1524, wrote these re he markabe words: "After the entire universe, at and particularly France, and in France the provinces of the north and east, especially )e Lorraine and Champagne, shall have fallen er a prey to gigantic miseries and tihe greatest e. tribulations, these provinces will be suc be cored by a prince banished in his youth, as who will recover the crown of lilies. This ca prince will extend his dominion every 'o. where, and will rule the whole earth. At or the same time there will be a great pontiff, n- very holy and very perfect. He ill have m with him that great king belonging to the in remains of the most saintly blood of the m kings of France. This great king will help an the great Pope to reform the world." e, Jerome Botin wrote in 1410: "After a lit y tie more than four centuries shall have id elapsed, the earth will be desolated and of the church reduced to mourning; the shep of herd will be struck and the lock dispersed an but the dew of heaven will fall and the al to tars of Beelzebub will be overturned and a the workers of iniquity will be scattered in and perish. There will be a child of the )e blood of the kings produced by the people a- of Artois (Henry V. is grandson of Charles og X., count of Artois), and he will govern an France with prudence and honor." B TaH PROPHECY OF THE LILIES. This ancient prophecy is preserved by David Pareus In his commentary on the is Apocalypse, printed at Heidelburg, 1618. The followingis the most striking passage: "Toward the end of time there will appear a great monarch of the nation of the most BE illustrious lily; he will have a large for head, high brows, great eyes, and a beaked nose. He will gather a powerful army and crash all the enemies of his kingdom. He will subdue the Turks and the barbarians, le- and none will be able to resist him, for the ed arm of the Lord will be ever with him and z- he will rule the whol'e earth. His reign $ will be called the paradise of good Chris r- tians." Through Jacob Bochme and others it it seems evident that the same prophecy Ic was current in Germany, where the era of r, lilies or lilienreit is well known. A similar iY remark may be made with regard to Italy. of I need quote only from the Placontian pro it phecy, so-called because found in a manu se script of the Placenza library. The fol se lowing verses are certainly worthy of at is tention, as making distinct mention of the r- tricolor: is After ten years shall have rolled by e Warn, famine._petilece, iniquity " - SThe Great King shall humiliae the tricolor of France in the does )- He will deoree that you shall return y Through providential ways. The Poe hall be held holy and just throughout the e EASTERN PROPHECIES. t All the peoples of the Elst, without ex ception-Abyssinians, Arminlans Arabs, Turks, Syrians, Indians, Cochin Chinese- g have traditions dated from the most remote a e times perfectly analogous to those of the 0 West. The Turkish traditions are natural ly the most carions of these, inasmuch as i their invariable burden is this: The de- a * streuction of the Ottoman empire by the 1 I Christians or Franks, and these Franks are I t to be led by a great king, who will submit the whole Orient to the religion of the Christ. These Oriental traditions have al ways been so popularly credited, that the s Arabs and Turks of Jerusalem walled up a n the gate by which the prophecy indicated the great king of the Franks is to enter e when he comes to subjugate the East. An English chronicler of the twelfth cen- c tury relates that the golden gates of Stam - bool bore this inscription: "When cometh ' )f the blonde kingof the West, I will open of b myself." The Greeks had walled it, and d 1, the Latins did not pass through it in 1204' but set up an equestrian statue representing r' e the future great king, with all the minute I facial features described in the prophecies. TILE GREAT BATTLE OF TUE WORLD. I Strange to say, it is in the German pro- ci phecies that we find the details of the irat rc f victory which the great king of the French in s is to win over the Germans. These pro phecies were collected and published at cc Colognue by the monks of Woerl. The w Spoints in which they a!lagree among them- th selves are: A general war in Europe, pre- pe Sceded by political convulsions and particu- d lar wars-the heterodox, East and North ti fighting against the orthodox West and wl South. The definitive victory of the latter under the great king, who rises all at once and triumphs in a great battle delivered in autumn, at the Birchtree Crose-roads, To between Woerl and Cologne in Westphalia, that is on the banks of the Rhine. Her German prophecies repeat that the color of to the conquering king and of his army will dr be white. They add, however, and that he will be lame of the right leg, and will pr mount his horse by the left foot. Unforta nately, we believe, the Comte de Cham bord has not yet seen At to fulfit this con dition. an IS IT THIE KING OF P]USSIA. si SSomne presumptuous German has thrown wi out the suspicion that it is, perhaps Wil- sn helm, King of Prussia, who is pointed out un by tihe seers as the hero of such triumphs. to lias he not been saluted in the German Cs \Valhalla as Wilhelm der Siegreich ? But Y let the Germans beware and tremble, for so sir far from enjoyoing such honor Prussia has on risen high only to fall to the lowest depths Thie veresfied predictions ot Frlar tlerumann tot on thie destinies of Prussia have not even we .thle oracular merit of a double mueaning. lhe i'hey are plain, blunt, and terocious. They les announuce the greatest misfortulnes f.r King is William, who will be "the last of his race," re and for the kingdom of Prussia, "whion my will melt awaylike saneow before the sun." Bi. Contempomaneously .wih the great king Sliberator, the sme prophecies declare ed "that there will be a great pontiff who will ob recover his flock; that the wolf will cease mat to lay snares before the Lord's fold; that he the anocien abbeys will rise from their h,* ruins, iad that the clergy will be re-estab it lished in all their virtues and former ill glories." BATTALIONS Ix TEa FLAT. n- In Poland there is any number of tradi to tions similar to the above. The one pre '- dominating over the others is that of a Is, great battle which is to decide the fate of ne Europe and the resurrection of Poland,and he in which France, under a great king, is to be take a decisive part.' The date of this he battle will be synchronous with the canon en ization of the holy Bobola, a Polish martyr at who, in a vision, painted an immense plaid ils covered with innumerable battalions,where its all nations were combatting, with, the he French at the head. Then exclaimed Bo bola: "When the war will be over, Poland on will be re-established, and I will be recog e- nized as its principal patron. Confidence! le- You will soon see the marvels." Now the se blessed Bobola, as it happens, was canon Ki- ized as the last Petrine centennial, in 1869. e- From the foregoing, therefore, it appears se, that those wholove the emotional will have he plenty of it in this eventful year. They ily need not go In search of it; it will cone en readily to the hand. Let them watch the 1at march of events in Europe ; especially not Le- let them take their eye off the Comte de h, Chambord. Events perfectly unintelligible ise hitherto, will become relatively plain in y- the light of these prophecies. A spedial At recommendation I venture to make is, to ff, indulge in no irreverent nineteenth cen ve tury skepticism. If there is a little delay lie in the work of fulfilment let us have pa be tience. If there is a hitch somewhere in the combination of circumstances, then a * little charity will be necessary. But in t" any case don't be too hard on the vener re able seers. Take a lesson from the follow ad ing example: There was a prophecy about P- the. last French-German war, that the ad Prussians would not enter Blois, whatever sl- they might do with Tours, Orleans, Cha d teaudun, and other adjacent towns. But ad the impudent Prussians did enter Blois. be Ah, thene, what about the prophecy I Only le a mistaken interpretation; it did not apply es to the last war, but will apply to the next. rn However, we must not scoff altogether. There have been prophecies before to-day, and their predictions have been terribly , fulfilled. To say nothing of other events, lie there is not the shadow of a doubt that the go great estaclysm of the French revolution e: was distinctly foretold by different seers ar centuries before it took place. It is well at known that Nostradamos foretold that r- event with'wonderfal precision. I would ed also call attention to the bllowing verses ad of Johann Mnder, Bishop of Regensburg, le who died in 1746, and which deserve to be more read than they have been : "When a l thousand and seven hundred years shall id have elapsed from the time of the Virgin's n delivery and to them shall have been added eighty-eight complete, there shall be ush- t ered in a fateful year, fraught with marvels i and dire events. If the vast pole of the universe fall not ere this year's term, if a land and sea fail not to adhere to their it confines, the whole political world will nevertheless swerve in its mighty swing, tl and universal grief and affliction will on all b sides prevail." This is the most remarkable prophecy, which I hnow of, because it points to the d very year of the event foretold. If one prophet could thus speak true, why might t not others speak true also T r Si NoN E VERO. eontreal, February 25. b e Nego vs. Credo. p The recent letter of the Rev. C. W a worth to the Boston Investigator has called s, out some further correspondence. A later b - issue of that paper contains a somewhat e singular and interesting Letter of Inquiry, c e which we give below, together with Father b - Walworth's reply, sent to the same paper. L a The Investigator, it must be understood, is - an Infidel or Free-Thinkers'journal, estab e lished many years ago in Boston by Abner p a Kneeland : To the Rev. Clarence A. awrorth P Dear Sir-Seeing your letter in the Boa- i ton Investigator of March 27, declaring your el acceptance of the recent Papal dogma of In- tl fallibility, I am prompted to address you a C r briefinquiry. at You and I were members of the same vi class at college. Just before graduating y' we were both "converted" under the re- Ji vivalistElderJacob Knapp. -That we were t1 both "soundly converted " I presume you lil do not doubt any more than I. Elder of Knapp was fond of referring to yours as a be remarkable conversion. But in the course a of ten yeiar you had become a Catholic and I a Free-Thinker. How I now regard my ei conversion under the revivalist you can th easily surmise; how you regard yours I tr cannot, I shall, therefore, be pleased to mt receive from you an answer to the follow- bt ing questions: gr Did you, at the time of your supposed m, conversion, "get religion?" In other words-Did you, at that moment, escape be the "wrath to come," and secure your so post-mortem salvation Or was it all a ta delusion ? If you did not get religion ha then, will you be kind enough to tell me ed when and how you got it. to Respectfully, sti Wx. HENRY BURR. re Washlington, D. O., March 28, 1872. of To Wm. Henry Burr. Esq.: Dear Sir-I feel no hesitation in replying , to the communication which you bave ad dressed to me through the columns of the lawestigator, and trust that my answer may I prove satisfactory. The expressions employed by you of "getting religion " and "securing a post mortem salvation" are objectionable phrases Al and I cannot well usae them without more explanation than seems to be at present de sirable. Setting them aside, therefore, I will endeavor to give a plain answer to the -' substantial meaning of your inquiry, as I an understand it. I do not, ofcourse, propose wl to argue the issues which lie between a sot Catholic's belief and an infidel's unbelief. To ,Your communtioetion evinces no further de da aire than to institute a comparison between our present and our past convictions. The "conversion " you speak of, which took place, as you remind me, when we e were classmates at college, and listened to the tile preaching of Elder Konapp, the revival- off, ist, is to me no "delusion." I look back to it with pleasure, and hail it as a happy I reality. That many delusions existed in per my mind at that time is oertaim enough. elsi ." u uay -certain am I that a rel, sub nare Iupon me then, wLafb . isugd the whole till current of my liBs. Yo 'ask whether I mse " se.ured m. amyation " at that-time. I lsat consider noman'esaIvation se~ired.exeoopt elr by perseverance until the end: fate coronet ib- opUs. The question teaches somewhat uer upon those sacred privacies which do not belong to the public. This much, how ever, I may say-sinee it opens a theologi cal question open which my opinion as a di- Cathollo. may be of some interest-had re- death come then I know of no good reason [a why I should not have met it with such of hope of mercy as becomes a Christian pent ,nd tent. to The ground which you have broken his makes it necessary to speak of myself, but 'a' I confine what I have yet to say to my in ;yr tellectual life as a believer in the Christian id revelation. That time which you have re re called was the turning point of a life. Not he that my faith. began then, but that then I lo- began to prize and cultivate what I had. nd Since then, whatevar else you may say of g- it, my life has been one of sincere and:en :e wavering belief. That revolution in my he faith which your inquiry seagroes for-that n- revolution when I abandoned the religious 39. convictions of my earlier life-never took irs place. This may seem strange to you, re ve membering that having been reared by ey Presbyterians, I afterwards became an e Episcopalian, and am now a Catholio. But ie I doclare to you that I have never aban ot doned a single point of religious belief de which.I ever bad. (I -say of religious be ule lief, by which I mean positive doctrine, for a in negative doctrine is not a matter of belief, ial it is merely protesting against some posi to tive tenet of faith; merely a refusal to be n- lieve.) I have cast away many prejudices ay of former days; I have accepted many '- things which I once did not believe; and in thus the horizon of my faith has been en a larged. This transition of mind is never in painful, for it only followathe natural law r- of growth. But I have never yet felt the " shock of a lost faith; I never have been t alled upon to part with even one old and familiar religious conviction, and God grant or that my soul may ever be spared such a- desolation ! t Why, then, should I look upon 'that is. early 'eonversion " as a delusion. It was ly based upon a faith which I then had and y still have. I look back to it with pleasure. rt. I feel grateful to Elder Knapp for the part r" which he had in it. I look back with love y+ and reverence to my parents first, and after ly them to every voice that ever taught me to ts, believe or sought to rouse my believing he conscience to its duty. Dn How is it with you, my old class-mate T 'r When Elder Knapp knew us you had a aII faith, I infer; and that faith probably cov at ered as much ground then as mine. Now, id you say, you are a Free-thinker. This es cannot mean that you are free to think and g+ say what you believe to be true; for in this m sense I am as free in my thoughts as you. a You mean, I suppose, that you will accept II nq external authority as a guide in matters s of relialon. This freedom would be em d barrassing in every other science, and lead - to ignorant presumption. May it not per Is haps be the same in that deepest of all e sciences, which looks farther than sight if and sound can reach t Practically, I take d it, you reject the whole Christian faith and t all revealed religion. The result of your r1 thinking in this direction has not been to build up anything, butto destroy. I pity you. It may sometimes be a necessity to tear e down and destroy. Buat to me it is always a sad thing. I would rather plant a new t tree than uproot an old one. It is a mournful thing to see lying prostrate on the ground a noble trunk which many busy bands in nature, working long and patiently, have conspired to uprear, which y has braved so many winters, bloomed so many summers, and sheltered and adorned k the soil where it grew. More keenly still we feel the rauinwhen, the stamp r being removed, we see how deeply the roots were fastened in the ground, bow r, closely they clung to it, and how the C bosom of the earth was rent in the parting. a, Is it not so with a religious conviction in it the soul ? Can an old faith, the growth of years, be uprooted there without causing pain, without leaving desolation I Once you believed in God, as a livibg, loving, " personal Being, who created you-in no idle ugood to forget you afterwards, but to r cherish you as a Father. You believed that wondrous history of Bethlehem ard Calvary, which shows us so dear to God, and brings Him so near to us. These con victions had grown up with the growth of your faculties, and lilke a plantation of trees had thrust down their roots and spread out their branches, and become a part of your i life. Can such a growth be removed with out laceration of heart without leavin. behind its desolation ? And what have you F n )w to fill the void You reply, I suppose, that the work,bow ever painful, was necessary; that these 15 things were superstitions errors, and, for truth's sake, ought to be eradicated. I have no occasion to argue that now and here, but from my soul I pity you. And I con gratulate myself that the love of truth in me has never called for such destruction. And in you, my dear sir, may it not have _ been a sad mistake May it not be that e some great and holy truths of Revelation taught to you have suffered in the teaching, o have been coupled with errors, been color ed by prejudice, been pressed out of shape , to suilt some harsh false system,-aye, been ca stripped of their flesh and blood by rash , reformers, and thus deprived in great part of life and beauty ! It may be that the Old h Church, if you would let her tell her own story, in her own way, and have the pa tience to hear her through, would yet find sparks enough amid the ashes of your early faith to kindle a new fire, and substitute light for darkness and desolation.
