The calamity by wa'.er which has everwhelmed the Hungarivn city of Szegediu teems to be of a magnitude quite unparalleled in the history of de struction by flood. Accounts of ca tastiophea caused by the elements are, perhaps, the most attractive kind of reading possible. Man's struggling againht the pitiless elements will excite deeper sympathy than any eveut with the cause of which human beiugs have to do. The imagination ii stjougiy appealed to. The powers of 11 Kd and tempest become living, supernatural, malignant, even in muds ni;t easily superstitious. It is possible to stay tbe lage of a human destroyer by valor aud sf lf-sacrifice; but earthquake, storm and lightning make human eifoitaud supplication alike fu ile. The writers who appeal to tbe imagination have not failed to make use of the rage of the elements to excite the emotions. Horace, in one of h;a well remembered odes, describes a flood so fast aad over whelming that the fishes wera able to feed cn the mountain tops, whee, be fore, the timid dter lived. George Eliot plaees the denouetqent of one of Irer jjreat novels, "The Mill fd the Floss " in a terrible inundation, and the dcvttd brother and sisier go down "ie an embrace never to be paited livfng through again in oe supreme iii' iu nt the days when they had cla p ed ti.eir little Lands iu 1 jve and roamed the du.-u-d fields together." The au-. thor of 'Tut Yourself in His Place" cannot find situations for his hero ter r b e en u;h until ha plces him in the ot 1 tropne vi a bursted dam aud has in in re-cue h's loved Grace Garden from a oUuition that is altogether hope le8. The best efforts of the novelist a, howevc, do not su pass in tragic in terest what history hai given us as ical and au h-ntic. We need only to recur to the struggl-i cf the Hollanders for couturiea to ke p the ocean back; the broken dykes, the cities even yet lying fathoms deep, u i der the wa'ers; tl.e brok n levees of our own Mii. lsippi, and th erevases which have iuui, dated huudrerts of aquare miles. V have not lorgotten the u nible Mill iliver disaster iu C n ntcticut a few y.ars ago, wheu tlie bur--;ii:g v a dam sept a va'dey clar ol eveiythiug liviug lor miles, aud trausloimed in a few uiiuu es a tcoue of : ural comlorr. into one of ruiu and devastation. But aU tbese seem insig nilic mt compared with tbe dt strucnon ot .-z gedan. .At this place all of the cot-dtii us so. iu to have be ?n favorable for the destrujii n ol lileand pi-ope; ry This ci'y is tb ca i al of the County oTCsoug.ad, Hungary. It is situa'ed on tbe lare.-t tfibu'ary of the Dunub -. the Hivir Taeiss, about 8tveuty-tive miles fiom it c u fl tence wihthe for mer. It s a ds ( u a vast maishy p aiu and has a population of e'ghty thru sand. Tlie 'i'.ieiss ris-.-s in the C n-ga-hian Mouutai-s, which sepvates Hungary from Gal'tcia, ad it ws almost directh s uth. through Hun gary. At Szgedm the Hivcr Maio, its largest tributary, enters from tbe east, the Mar s having its source in the n.outitaius of Eastern Transylvania 'lbe two rivers meet almost at light an.'le the Moras, in fact, just before its junction wi;h iheTueiss, making a nlnht curve toward the north. t?ze- cndin Jo ihy west' uaun ol Tbeis, directly opposite the mouth of the Maros. lo protect the city from inua- dati .u, dykes, or 1 vies similar to those ot the Mississippi had twin con st! ucted, and, as theiity grew iu siz and intiueuco, the dykes wif, from time to t nie. stieugthened aud en larged. The embankments were only tumoi-ut to withstand tbe ordina ry frtshets of th 33 rivers and lbe extraordinary case wai sure in time to come, aud for this Szegedin wa Lot prepared. The sudden uidt ing of vast quantities of su w i 1 both the moun'a ii ranges in whch these ii .-eis take their rise, the unusual in crease of water in botli streams, adddd to a strong wind which blew from t'ie right quarter at the light t;me, con spued to p.'o luce a resultant elemen tal force which no ski, I aud endeavor of the inhabitants could withstand. Tbe accouuts of which we have by telegraph are somewhat fragmentary, buh. tUey are enough to show that a cal tmity of unuseal horror has occurred. The t Rit'uukments, it seems, were triple m torm. OuMndayto of them hd burst aud only a single barrier kept the llo d from pouring over the city Un Monday night civil rule took its departure and lbe city was declared under martnl law. Ir. was besieged, but not by man. Lvcry able bo ned citizen was forced to work ou the dykes under pain of death. The waters rose higher and higher during Tuesday, tbe wind increased in violence, the em- ba lkments were steadily undernamed, aud final 'y, at 3 o'clock ye.terday morning, tue catastrophe came aud Szeg.-diu was overwhelmed. The in habitants in largi numbsrshad fled. but thou-auds who would not or could not ll-.-e lemaiued. There was a scene o. horror. Houses fell in rains by hun dreds and their inmates perished mis erably. Tue eld City was eutirely un der water. Eighty thousand poople were in a few minutes reudered home less. One hundred hquare miles of surrounding couutry Was flooded, and every tbinjj contained withiu that cir cuit was destroyed. 1 he e-jd is repor ted to have uot even yet arrived, lbe waters are s'.ill rising, and evea great er des'ructiou of life an J' prop rty is fe-iiei. Calimiiies of this kind, we tay, whether fictitious or real, appeal to the immigration in au extra rdtnry le giee. It is lo.iuuaU- that we are thus affected. ' Meetn? ot'tlic liar.

' Simply to Thy Cross I cling " This touching ly be utiful motto was left unfinished by the beloved Mrs. Evie Thomas, whom death has lately removed from a devoted husband aud a deeply attache ! family, to the joys of the beaveuly world. The three flr.-t w.rJs are comp eted with her chaiac tenstic neatns tbe central figure is passed over, aad woik resumed on the T" feucceadiug iu Untouched by hi expert tiogeis is tbe Cross itself. This is the symbol of that on which hai aviour died, aud to which, by fai'h in Him, she had tluug so long. Who, kuowin the deep, calm reverence ol her life, cau doubt that she paused here in silen, adoiiog recognition ol the divine hiioihat once enciicled it, aud, with something akin to the spirit of her Lord anl Masier, breathed the prayer that ihe elhcacy radiating there tioui, should increase in brightn-ss and gl iry as long as one she lovid rem dned, 10 appiopnate atol r j ice in tlio in comparable m ss:oa ot God love to mn !

This touching rtl c from her lovelv life originated the following appropri ate aud beautiful lines, (written by a friend of the lami;y,) which will uot fail to be ajipreciatod by every intelli gent reader.

Again, "six daj s shnr thou labor, and do all thy work." Again, "in it thit is, the Sibbith l l . , ... . inou suaic not ao any work. 1 tns commandment was given to th Jewish church, aud it is as binding now on all as then. Chiist has expre-sly affirmed this law, aud has declared himse'f "L rd even of the Sabb'th day" He also says, "it is lawful to do well on tbe Sabbatn day," that is, works of bsnoev- lence and mercy are peculiarly appro priate to th'S day; and woiksof abso lve necassity may be done on this day. But what are the works of necessity ? Any one who is really desirous of know ing wt at secular or worldly work may be done without sin on b indty, may surely and accurately ascertain by reading th sayings of Jesus in the Gos- pJ. No one need doubt on this sub ject who wdl candidiy examine for himself. No 93cular woik which may be abso'utely necessary should be done ou Sund iy, which cou d have been pre viously ptrf. rmed or postponed until Monday. In it thou shalt not do any work" is the command. Christians aie especially eni lined to keep holy the Sabb ith day, for them selves, for their fami ies, for their churches, and as au example uuto olh ;rs. Outsiders, that is, t'ie uure generat, s 1 lorn read their bibles If a christian break the Sabbaih, the unre- j generate person will say, see that pro fessor ; some people say he is a good man, put to my knowledge he doesn't keep his Sundays as he should, and is, therefore, no better thin I am." Chris tian man ! christian woman ! is tint ungenerate soul stumbling over you down to the pit r Christians nius", keep tin Sabbath, not only with their bodies by resting from th) labors of the week, but they must keep it with their tnii-ds aud h-;arts.

A few years ago, some unknown in vestigator aunouueed that we, in com mon with all othor people on the globe, were ahout to enter an era of p'aguep an 1 other calamities hitherto unparal- eled (arid bis declaration was t-upport- ed by a rather curious array of hist r - cal facts and ti.urtf) 'hat tbe passage 01 tne targe piaoeis imougn tne peri helia ot their respective orbits was at tended oy, pes 11 nual visitat ons 01 earth of almost direful cbaract' r, and the outbrtak of plagues in R issii and B.azil has called a tenuou tia this strange predi t;on. I he perihelion passages of Jupiter, Neptuue, Lranus and Saturn will all ta'te place within the five years from lb8J to 1S85, anl Mars ( hough a little fellow, he may as well be counted) will also rea-m the perihelion point of this orbit during the same period. The coincidence which the luvestigator predicted would be a little mote wonderful if the planets were not a year behind time, or the plagues a year too e.arly, but it is a cu rious an i puzzling fact tb.it malign mt diseases of va' ious kicd are deciuiit- iug 1 he inhabitants of the eattb at a fearful rate. Not only are Russia and lin-zd ?fnicted with scourges of th most teiribie description, out there is an epidemic in Siberia of an alarming but unkn wn nature; a mysterious dis ease nas appeared at inpili, aga.nst which the Mediterranean ports hay issued qu irautiue regulations; the chol era is raging at Morocco and at other points in northern Africa: a plague of some sort has broken out in 1 -8saly and on one of the lsl mds in the A 'ean s a, yellow fiver germs are said to ihreaten fresh horrors at the South, aud in this country and all over north en Europe, lung and throat diseases were never kO prevalent as now. Whether rlanetary movements have anythiug to do with this condition of things i r n t, it behooves the hedth authorities of every city in the ciua'ry to rigidly enforce thesanitry reguls t ons now iu existence and to frame others that shall meet tbe abnormal 1 ecessities of tha time.

Martiuez Campos is to day the fore most man iu St.a n. As a soldeirnpoli ticiau no one of his countrymen has exceeded him in real power or fame, unless it was Espaitero during his short-lived dictatorship. Aud yet Campos is- the youngest of Spain's field marshal having bev?n b rn as late as 1812. B it his p palarity and strength are not to In w mdered at. It was he who llr.it cLiin d Alfonso that Car rie 1 over to th-3 exile i prince the whole army of eastern Spam, an l mide tbe restoraiio 1 possible. It was he that won ov.-r the Carlis' loaders, and sa cured tho pacification f Navarre and tin Basque piovmces. It was he who "by arts aod devices" conquered the.' Cuban patriots, thus preseiving to Spain her tm st valuable colony. He did not whip the revolutionists, b cause be c uld not, but when he found tbat ho could not, he proceeded to buy out he Cubans wi h bribes, either of m mey or needed reforms. He secur ed peac, an 1 he has ever since, as captain-geneial, endeavored to carry out tbe lare reforms that he promised Cubans. The obstacles thrown in his way by the tro. cherous. home pol ti- cians led to his departure for Spain aometbing over a mou h ajo, and the king, who is his fnei d, decided tbat the reforms in c loida! a ministrations which he asked for should be carried out. This led to the i.'ownlall of the Castello min stry, and to the f irmation of a' nrnistry by the all-couqu ring Campos hims If.
