Many people who believe in the end of the Mayan calendar are telling us the world will end tomorrow. This is not the first time that a date has been given for the end of the world. The Sept. 28, 1861 Cambridge Chronicle printed this story.
"THE END OF THE WORLD, postponed from 1843, is to take place on Saturday, the 12th of October, a fortnight from to-day, at least so say the Millerites. Unless the end comes before breakfast in the morning, we shall publish the Chronicle as usual on that day."
William Miller had predicted that the world would end in 1843 and later other dates, made another prediction of 1861. It came and went with obvious a comic tone from the Chronicle.
People never change.
