The CALCUTTA HURRICANE.-Ihe arrival Of the
India mail, says a London journal, brings advic IS
from Calcutta to November Sth
These accounts increase the seriousness of the
disaster. In Calcutta city 100 deaths have been
recorded, 401 brick-built houses destroyed, and
1888 tiled and matched huts levelled with the
ground. In the suburbs the loss of life is estl-
mated at 2S5; and 62 brck-built houses, 1745
tiled huts, and 25, 14S matched huts have been
destroyed. On the river 622 lives have been lost.
In addition there have also been lost two ferry
steamers, 67 cargo boats, u Madras sloops, 81
dinghees, 50 native boats, and 1886 up-country
boats. The greater portion OF these boats, to-
gether with those lost in the canals, were laden
with lutte and grain. The grand total OF lives as
certained to have been lost is, therefore, 1016; of
brick-built houses destroyed, 1863 and OF tiled
and matched huts, 2 1921. Of the larger ship
ping in the river, only some 26 ships have es-
capped uninjured, and three have sustained Sc
rious damage, one Of them being a complete
wreck. This cyclone has occurred at a time
whel the rice crops were in the ear and
the whole province, wasted by famine and pinched
by high prices, looked forward to an abundant har-
vest. Where the ear was formed 1t was torn OF
where the stalk had reached mature height it was
snapped. Or a low estimate ut least one-haf OF
the rice crop has been destroyed in the ten miles
to the south Of the Hooghly, over which the
cyclone extended. From Nuddea, still suffering
from an inundation Of the Gauges moro severe
than those of 1868 and 1856, We learn that the
vegetation which survived that calamity has been
a most entirely destroyed. Not only will the rice
crop yield but half its sale. Of the cattle which
had been sent to the high lands fropi the inupda
ted tracts. q tenth has psrished, for they had to
withstand the storm for two days and q half With
out shelter or food. All the crops recently sown
within the tract blasted by the whirlw,nd have
been destroyed. The condition of. Jessore IS
worse, Not five per cent. Of the brTt Il houses in
the district have withstood the bias. It. \ general
system of relief was contemplate. The balance,
amounting to about 19, 1000 rur oes, of the previous
Cyclone Relief Fund, has be en- made over for the
purpose Of affording relief; and the government
had promisedto contribute by doubling the amount
Of subscriptions.

The demand was quite general, but only L few parties
operated to any considerable extent. the most OF the buy

As aspirations wing their flight
To realms where Faith and Love dispense
Sure happiness; and prospects bright
Cheer Ga endeavor to wise ends, .
And well-ieserved ranown;
Cheer emulation that depends
On Faith by Wisdom grown
Softly whisper pews of gladnessl
Gently swell the chants of lraisei
Life and promise yield no sadness
To the future aith NAV raise.
God and confidence can fire
Manly hearts with t-ust,
And energy and high desire
Ennoble what is just.
Life was inside for bold e~xertion,
Sanrui. e hope, and effort strong;
And ali unaroused inertion
Tends to miser and wrong.
Dismal shadows yield depression
Never to the brave,
And each day affords confession
OF the aims that save.
Lightly on each faithful spirit
Earthly cares and sorrows rest,
And all loving hearts inherit
Gods own comforting behest;
"Good will and peace" sweet whispers sound
Beneath, around, above,
For Christmas seasons most abound
In sentiments of Love.
On the spots wh,re heroes perish'd
Nature reas sets her sway,
And the hopes most truly cheriSh'd
Live beyond the first decav.
Clouded skies are file and vagrant;
Stars still brightly shine;
And the choicest flowers are fragrant
In their last decline.
Hearts may bleed and hopes may wither;
Love and Trust may be betrayal,
And the green that robes LIES heather,
Stricken by some blight. may fade;
But the fruit Of true endeavor,
Unimpaired, will bloom;
Seasons come and 80 for ever
TIL the final doom.
Revolving still, the wheel of ages
Knows no change or relaxation,
And throughout broad natures pages
Beauty lives from the creation;
So with hearts on truth relying,
Hope is ever there,
Bliss assuring, woe defying,
Destitute OF fear.
Still in Faith. If not in gladness,
Let the dying year depart,
Then begin, devoid of sadness,
With q bold add hopeful heart:
Then begin with strong endeavor

Struggling vallantly forever,
Aiming for the skies.

TIE tS!laitey. Slisiife3a,

The history of the world (say the Elk
ton Democracy is full of instances of
Providential rebukes to men who defy
the laws of Divinity. From Annanias
and Sapphira to Thaddeus Stevens. the
edict has had no exception. Course
God and die" is a perpetual menace to
the children of men. The man who de-
liberately defes every principle of hui
manity and right reason, no less than
he who b]asphemes his Creator, has ev
er found fitting retributiOn. Sooner Or
later the blow falls, and the arch-demon
is brought face to face with his wrath.
The saddest spectacle that has Wither-
ed the gaze of the Washington proscrip-
tionists in all their mad crusade, before
them few days ago, when the arch
priest of their fury, untaught by advan-
cling age to soften his anger, unsoftened
by the crumbling of the grave clod that
gave his remaining foot a scanty prop,
arose with the flashing eye of the woun-
ded hyena and with the quavering
growl of the dying tiger, and sought to
crown his career of rancor, by the insti-
cation of a measure far surprising all
its predecessors in malignity, when
voice failed and he dropped in his seat,
overcome by disease, and smitten
by the rod of the displeased Author Of
Mercy. May his stricken form remind
his followers Of the final lot of all, and
teach them to consider more thought
fully the precepts of Him who has said
vengeance is mine, | will repay"

II PitiNbie Spectucte.

A pitiable spectacle was presented in
the House of Representatives at Wash
ington few days ago, by Thaddeus
Stevens. While engaged in delivering
a most malignant and revengeful speech
against the Southern people-a speech
full of hatred, uncharitableness, and
teeming with passion, in support Of his
atrocious measure of confiscation-he
was stricken down by visitation of
Providence, and compelled to suspend
from physical exhaustion, the delivery
the House finished by reading the exc
cradle document. Out of this incident
the Radical Press are endeavoring to
manufacture a sensational scene, and
declare tn t it resembles the last app ar
ance of Mr.. Calhoun in the Senate
Chamber, and that of the distinguished
Earl of Chatham in the British House
of Lords, both of whom delivered
speeches under the same peculiar auspi-
ces. But in this case there is nothing
to give it our sympathy or interest.
Had Mr.. Stevens been speaking in IA
vor of truth, justice and humanity-had
elevated sentiments ofnoble magnanim-
ity been flowing from his lips-he would
have deserved the kindest regards for
his misfortune, and would have had
honorable mention in the annals of his
tory. But falling as he did -breaking
down with expressions of cruelty and
malice, with curses almost, in hismouth,
toward an unfortunate and helpless por-
ton of his own countrymen-it seems
like a bolt thrown from Heaven, as a
manifestation of indignation against
such impious and inhuman conduct,
and such rash and ungenerous counsel.
It seems more like the blasphemer, who
of his terrible imprecations against God,
and with the oath Of defiance upon his
lips falls cold and senseless corpse to
the earth from which he sprung.

10000 Starc..4y!

According to advices from Alabama
and Georgia, fifty thousand persons are
on the verge ofstarvation in those States,
and the general distress throughout the
South is excessively great. No wonder,
then that business in the North does
not exhibit the old time prosperity.
This state of things is the outgrowth of
the refusal of the Republican politici-
ans in 1861 to abate anything of their
principles. A perverted government,
poverty, beggarry and starvation for
our people is what they are getting in
return for disregarding the warning
voice of Washington, jackson and Clay.
A bloody and costly thing has the fell
spirit of sectionalism been to us.-Syote-
man.

The political trimmers who claim to
be- Radicals, and at the same time, pro-
fess to be devoted followers of Mr.. Lin
coin do not cherish his faith. In his
message in 1861, Mr.. Lincoln said:
",The RIGHT of each State to order
and control it's own domestic institu-
tons according to it's own judgement
EXCLUSIVELY,i is ESSENTIAL to
the balance of power, on which the per-
lection and endurance OF our political
fabric depends"
Those who were once the supporters
of Mr.. Lincoln, now say, eff those States
do not cant Negro Suffrage we will
cram it down their Threats; and that is
what is understood to be "loyuly," just
now, among the faithful"
