The cattle plague still continues Its raSages
in England. The Archbishop Of Canterbury
has issued form Of prayer to be used by the
faithful, which Is similar to all such pyoduc-
tiors nnder like circumstances; and this
" "lamentatlon" has dragged from It's obscuri-
ty an old psalm written during the prevalence
of former cattle plague In England. The
History Of Albertoushire' states that 1t was
sung upwards Of century ago In Osmothcr1y
Church, Yorkshire, and It adds that It was
"composed by the pusish clerk on the occa-
sion OF the 1nurrain, severe distcmpcr TINT
ragged among the horned cattle In the year
1747. It YVES sting md chorused by tie whole
congregation In the church. The four f1st
stanxas contained on account of the cattle
that died and tho names Of the farmers to
whom they belonged. The remaining verses
were as follows:
No Christians bull. nor COW, they say,
But lakes 1t ont Of hand;
And re slall lavc no cows at Ill,
doubt, within this land.
The doctors, though they al havc spoke :
LikH learned gentlemen,
And told us how the entrails look,
OF cattle dead and green;
Yet they do nothing do at all,
With all their leaIufnS's store;
So Heaven drive out this plague nNny,
And yeI III not no more.
