WESLEY’S PROPHECY.
The following paragraphs are co
pied from a London paper of May
31st, 1788.
“ Mr John Wesley, preached
in the parish Church of Bradford, on
Sunday the 4th inst. to the most nu
merous and respectable congregation
that ever appeared in that place. His
uxt was,“ The end of all thmgs is at
har-d; he sober and watch unto
prayer”-—1 Pet. ch. iv. v. 7. He
enforced this awful doctrine with un
common energy, assuring his audi
ence, that the world would be at an end
in the year 1836. But he intimated
that a new world would succeed the
old one, far better and infinitely more
enlightened ; in which there w ould
be no false teachers, no hypocrites,
but universal holiness and angelic
purity.
“ A correspondent, who lives near
Bradford, in Yorkshire w rites thus
—Mr. John Wesley told us, in the
Church of Bradford, on Sunday the
4th of this month, that the world will
cerFainlv end in the year 1836;” so that
in the short space of forty eight
years inhere will he an end ot all out
A nursery is also now forming bv
which our tables may he furnished
with the choicest fruits of the earth,
and a department is devoted to ex
periments upon the culture of such
plants as may be advantageously in
troduced into the country, but which
are now annually imported from a-
iroad. Elegant and extensive con-
Iservatories and hot houses have beer,
erected, which experience has alrea-
ly shewn arc well constructed fot
he cultivation of plants from even
quarter of the globe. Here alreadj
may be seen an assemblage ot Na
ture’s choicest productions from e-
very climate and from every coun
try. The language of a celebrated
poet may with justice be here appli
ed :

Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon the public spirited founder ol
this institution. With a patriotism
which many leign, but few can feel, he
engaged in an undertaking of high
importance to his country and his
profession, and has brought it to a
state of perfection which may cause
it to vie with institutions of a similar
nature in the old world, and which
the wealth of princes and the labor ol
ages have been employed in rearing

received a letter from a friend there,
of which I send you an extract, to
give you, who know nothing of the
horrors of war, some little idea of the
miseries attending these dreadful
scenes.
“ As soon as the roads were safe,
my curiosity prompted me to visit
the memorable scene of action at
Evlau. Most terrible, indeed, had
crawling about the streets cover
ed with rags like the most piti
able beggars. To inter their dead
bodies, was scarcely possible ; and
even my essence of vinegar was
not sufficient to defend me in their
hurch. 1 never should have believ
ed, without seeing it myself, that hu
man nature could have borne such
m excessive degree of misery. The
place had cruelly been given up to
blunder. In short, every thing was
uin, destroying and laid waste. Not
i door nor a window uor a cupboard
was remaining. This is indeed the
less extraordinary, when we consider
hat the town had been twice in the
possession both of the French and
Russians, and thus twice were the
streets streaming with blood. The
combatants even followed each other
into the very houses. From the
Highest to the lowest of the inhabi
tants, they were all robbed of every
thing they possessed, and simple wa
ter with a scanty pittance ot mouldy
bread was all they had to keep lile
together. Many died through fear,
many from ill treatment, anil many
were yet sick from the painful recol
lection of the past.
“ Overpoweied by such dreadful
scenes ol calamity, 1 deemed it even
a relief to go and contemplate the
horrors ot the field.—Howsoever
mangled, there 1 found many ot my
fellow creatures, yet these lifeless bo
dies had at least surmounted their
sufferings ; but the unfortunate inha
bitants of Eylau were yet languish
ing on towards the more excruciating
death of hunger. This would cer
tainly have been their dismal lot, as
the whole surrounding district was e-
qually bereft of every means of sus
tenance, had they not soon received
trom Konigsberg the most desirable
relief and refreshment, besides clotli-
ing, linen, and every necessary ar
ticle to repair and make their dwel
lings tolerably comfortable. Had I
first visited the field of battle, this hi
deous unusual sight, which I hope
never to see again, would have un
doubtedly shocked me more than it
