Then oae1 disease called the black . tleath, th Mack. ptagrte, or ,be great mop tality. The most dreadful visitation of it ; wis one that began n China, spread over Aia, And ia the year 1J48 entered Eu rojie. Europe was then tiowerer, not un used to plague. Six ; others had made themselves famous daring the proceeding :-ight-aad-fortjr years; . The . black" plague fprehd from the South of Europe to the north, occupying alout three years in its passage. In two years it had reached r Sweeden ; in three years it had conquered Russia. The fata! influence came among men ripe to receive it, j Europe was full of petty ; war ; citizens were immured in ities, in unwholesome houses overlooking v filtljy streets, as in beleaguered fortresses ; for roblicrsif not armies occupied the roads beyond their gates ; husbandmen were Rtarvfng feudal slaves ; religion was main- fy supcrstiton ; ignorance was dense, and morals were debased ; little control was 1 set upon Ilia passioni1'. To . such men the. pestilence came, which was said to hav ; ulain thirteen millions of Chineest,to baTe lepopuTaUd India,vto hare destroyed ...in Cairo fifteen thousand lives a day. Those ' weroexageratcd statemen's, but tbey were credited, and - terrified the people. Cer lain' vessels with dead crews drifted a- : Lout in tLe Modi(erraBoan,and brought f corruption and infection to the shores on which they stranded. In what spirit did ' ..the' peQplc,supersritious as they were 'in 1 those old tiino.T, meet tiie calamity! Many com mi ted suicide' in frenzy; merchants and rieh men, seeking divert the, wrath of ' Heaven from themselves, earned their ..treasure to tho churches and the(raonastes riesjwherd, if-the monk?, fearing to receive infection with it,- sluit heir gates again any smili offering,! t was desperately thrown to. them over their walls. Even sound men corroded by anxiety, wandered about and lived as the dead. Houses quitted by their inhabitants tumbled to ruin. By plague and by the flight of terrified inhab itants, many thousand villages were left absolutely empy; silent as the woods and field. -The Pope in Avignon, was forced, because all the ehurch yards wero fall to consecrate as ff burial place the river Jihonei and insure to the faithful an inter nment, if not in holy ground at least in holy v i water, now the dead were carted out ot towns for buriel in pits, and how the ter ror of the people coined tho fancy that through indecent haste many wore hnrri f; iid-but ami thrown ii)to those pits while j jiving, every one knows; it was the inci , ileti t of plague at all ti mas. Italy was re ported to' have lost half it iuhhbitkuU. ' I'he Vonnetians fled tct the islands,and foi sookltheireily, losing three men ini four ; ; "and in Padua, when the plague ceased, two thirds of the jnhahi tan ts wero missing Tin's is the black death, w!i ich beg-in to . wards tho close of tho year fhfrteen huti- if did aad forty eight to ravage England i; t aud of which Antony ' Wood says extrav agantly, that, at the close of it, scarcely a tenth; part of the people of this country remained li viug iDickenn''s Household Words.
