But the great plagues -of. the worl and the perihelia fixed by the astron omers do not seem to hav occurred at the same time. Perihelia have been very fre quent in the past, if the world has had no great plagues without them. We may be on the eve of great calamities, of great pes tilence and famines, of wonderful atmos pheric disturbances and natural disorders ; but we think it very doubtful whether they will follow as a consequence of the predict ed or coming perihelia.

This is the plague of which Thucydides wrote, and Lucretius and Vir gil sang, and is the first ; universal plague. Upon the ruin of Cartilage, a pestilence spread over all Africa, and destroyed in Numidia alone eight hundred thousand. So greivous was this pestilence, that upwards of fifteen hundred dead corpses were carried through one gate of a single city in one day, and upwards of two hundred thousand died in a few days. Two years before the birth of Christ a pestilence spread over all Italy, and raged with such fury that few or none remained to till the ground. Since the commencement of the Christian era, and in latter years, severe plagues have raged in England, Scotland and Wales; sometimes almost depopulating the princi pal cities of those kingdoms. In the second year of Claudius, the Roman Emperor, so fearfully did the pestilence rage in Eng land, that the living were scarcely able to bury the dead. In the year 180, in the reign of Commodi s ind during the perse ution o the Christians in the Roman Empire, a pes tilence spread over all ItSly, Greece, and al most all the Roman Empire. In the city of Rome alone, there were, for a considerable time together, twenty thousand buried in a day.
