“‘Then how far would the 2300 extend after 33?’
“The doctor subtracted 490 from 2300, and replied, ‘1810. Why,’ said he, ‘that is past.’

“The doctor saw at once that the 33 should be added, and set down 33 and 1810, and, adding them, replied, ‘1843.’
“At this unexpected result, the doctor settled back in his chair and colored; but immediately took his hat and left the house in a rage.
“The next day he again called on Mr. Miller, and looked as though he had been in the greatest mental agony.
“‘Why, Mr. Miller,’ said he, ‘I am going to hell. I have not slept a wink since I was here yesterday. I have looked at the question in every light, and the vision must terminate about A. D. 1843; and I am unprepared, and must go to hell.’
