great lapor ai times, but one in whirh
has always been exhibited, but we fear that the
interest has somewhat worn off. All this is
equally applicable to each company in the city.
Last spring we were disposed to haul this ques
tion of efficiency of fire organizations up before
the public, and it is well recollected what an
amount of abuse was thrown at our heads for the
trouble. This did not amount to anything with
us if we succeeded in the project of refitting and
organizing these companies. Some, if not all of
the members, were almost " fighting mad" at
what was said, and we are not so sure but that
our worthy old mayor himself did not feel a lit
tle sensitive about this matter. A call was im
mediately made upon the chief engineer of the
fire department for the
companies, and it was furnished, so we hear, still
we are now in the beginning of winter without
being one Whit befter off in this particular than
we were six months aero. We believe we are
rcany worse off, for at that time two or three
oi tne companies were willing to do, but at pre
sent it appears as'if they had lost all interest be
cause, as we have said above, of this indiffer

too good to do anything that is mean, and who
have only managed to get along during the past
because of its being warm weather. The winter
is coming on and these scamps having nothing to
do, and nothing to eat, must resort to their
rascality, the approach to which, it has been
noticed, they are fast drifting by nightly
attemps at burglary. We must expect them
to go to extremes, aud we must prepare for it
without the least disguise, as they are not to be driv

attention to another very important matter. A

the street now-a-days, lest she would come in

true in a great measure. Every day, low, drunk

The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says it is generally reported in Paris, that the
French army in Mexico will be withdrawn by in

next year the whole will have returned to France.
This resolution is said to have been adonted

population so increasina that the fears nf Mit.h-
should be realised. Peace possesses not the heart
of all of us, and fear has now come anions us
that another great "check" will add to the per
turbations of Man. This is pestilence; which
comes every now and then : now less fre.mor.tw
than then ; because Science has taught us to obey
more diligently the laws of Nature. But when
Man was beset and dazed hv i
lence and Famine slew his children.
We have a sad chronicle of plagues. At Rome
nearly eighteen hundred years ago, a. d 80 a
pestilence slew, we are told, 10;000 people daily
In the years 167, 169- and 189, pestilence again
ravaged the Roman empire. In Britain, A. D.
430, so many people were swept away that there
were hardly enough left to bury their dead. At
Constantinople 746-9, 700,000 people perished.
In England, so William of Malmesbury tells us
the plague was so great in 772, that in and about
uicnester d,uuv people perished. In 1111
Holinshed tells us of a dreadful nest.ilenre in T.nn.
don, in which thousands of people, cattle, fowls
a.uu uiuci uuuiesuc ammais perished ; and it is
said that at Paf is and in the south of France the
same process has just begun by the death of the
fowls. In Ireland, in 1204, a prodigious number
perished. In 1340, the "Black Death" raged in
Italy, and in 1348 the plague, described by Boc
caccio, raged over Europe, causing a fearful mor
tality. We here in England suffered severely
In London alone, in the year 1348, when the
plague at Florence, described by Boccaccio, took
place, 200 people were buried daily at the Charter-house.
Again we were visited by plague in
1367, Ireland in 1407, and again in 1478, when
30,000 people were slain by pestilence in London
alone; and throughout England, more persons
were slain by disease than by the fifteen preced
ing years of war. In J485 we were cut down by
the Sudor Anglicus, the sweating sickness, and this
again broke out in 1499-1500 so dreadfnllv in
A.onaon tnat llenry VII. and his court removed

And now one word op so about fear and out
ward religion in a pestilence. ThO London Times
recently resuscitated an bid tbry, which deserves
telling again, although the teller and the writer
of it made a false- application of .the Yable. A
traveller in the east, at the confines of a city, met
the plague. - "Oh, stranger," said ihe spirit of
the pest, " I travel towards this devotedcity' to
kill five thousand people," " And so he went his
way. As he came thence, the samel traveller met
him. " But," cried the traveller, takin up the
conversation, M thon hast exceeded thy measure
oh plague thou hast killed twenty thousand?"
"nay," was the solemn: rejoinder,. I kept to my
promise of. five thousand ; fear killed the rest."
Now the fable is very .'good for aMussnhnanwho
beheves ni fate, but not for a christian. ' Accord
ing to the Turk, only those appointed la be slain
areslain .by the plague, and the rest may remain
in safety, and without fear. But science tells us
this is all bosh. We need not remain near infec
tion ; if any one touches eats, drinks, o breathes

Buckle, in T his: Hiiiorylqf Ck-iiizat4on, yvV 1, p.
594, " to a memorial : to the JSnghsh, government,
begging it tb set aside a day for national humilia
tion, they received doctrine Which', to English
men, seemed right enough, but" which to Scotch
men seemed yery profane., -The Presbytery were
informed that the-affairs of this world .are .rerm-
lated by natural laws, and " the weal or woe of
mankind depends upon the observance of these
laws.".. - The reply continued' Lord Palmerston
would suggest that the. best, course which, the
people of this country can pursue will be to, .em
ploy themselves in planning and executing treas
ures by which they can better- lodge the - poor,
and cleanse their city, so that those places which,
from; the. nature fof things, , most needs purifica
tion and improvement, may be freed from those
causes-of contagion-which, if allowed to remain,
will infalliblylireed pestilence, and be fruitful in
death, .in spite of all the prayer and fatting of a
united but inactive nation." '
- ' Now, had the theory of the Scotch presbytery
been, true, Lord Palmerston should have died
that very night of cholera, and the whole cdurt
should have keen swept out, by the Angel of ,the
Lord, for agreeing with Palmerston. But either
they were utterly in the wrong, or the messen
ger of an Almighty. Power was so blind that he
passed over all the wicked great, and seized upon
all the innocent poor ! And what right have we
to peep behind the curtain at the designs Qf the

of others. -. Religion, that' is the niere open cele"
bration of it, is useless in a Pestilence : whereas
the true religion, which feeds, cleanses, instincts
and comforts the poor, which makes us aware of
the beauty and health of cleanliness, utterly cuts
off and exterpates the root of pest'lence. It is
probable that many of our readers will pronounce
us very wicked when we assert that the Blooms-

" Cause produces effect," said a philosopher,
" and the effect becomes in its turn the cause of
other effects." In the year 1854 the cholera
broke out in Soho. Hundreds were stricken
down. The temperate men, who drank water,
died seventy-five per cent ! The beer arid gin
drinkers did not die. The prayerful, good wo
men were carried off in haste ; the rackety; bad
men escaped. The people on one side; of j a
street died; those on the other lived. One house
(let us say No. 1) lost father, mother, children
and servant; No. 2 was quite frefe. , The vestry
deliberated, the parsons prayed and the old wo
men trembled. At lasteamea queer, scientific
doctor, who knew how to observe. " Gentle
men," said he to the vestrymen, if you want to
stop the cholera, screw off the handle of the
Broad street pump." The chairman was indig
nant, the vestrymen laughed him to scofn; never
theless the magical doctor prevailed, took away
the pump handle, and the nlatme. was Cta ire1
"It was regularly knocked down," said a doctor;
" it never killed one more man, woman or child.
Dr. Show knocked king cholera down with' that
pumb handle. And how 1 ; Cause produces ef
fect, and effect is in its turn the cause of other
effects." Keep this in blind. The pump water
was in general esteem, and either a cholera pa
tient had been brought to Soho, and ; the vomit
and washings poured into a drain which commu
nicated with the well, and thus impregnated it. '
or, as others said, the well was decayed, and the
soil of some pest-hole where the riftnnW whn hri
died from the plague had been buried mixed with
the water. 1 Tha doctor going about found a
workshop used by. teetotal, tailors, each had his

right-hand street was supplied by the New Bayer
and was well ; the' left-hand side went to the
pump, and was scourged; Strangers who d rant
at the pump, the water whereof was ? delicious '
died. The only cholera case , at Hampstead wis
that of an old lady, to whom the carrier brought
her favorite spring water three times a week.
