The End of the World.

The scenes of dissipation that have
recently taken place among the
Hungarian peasantry serve to remind
one of the old truism that human ma
ture has not changed very greatly in
a thousand years. The Magyar Ia
of the world was at hand. and took
the arrival of the comet to be an
augury of the near approach OF the
catastrophe. The parish priest, good
faithful man, warned them to prepare
themselves by due penitence and the
proper religious exercises; but the
pleasure loving flock instead gave
themselves over to riOting and FEAST
ing They and their priest were soon
diSillusiOned when the appointed day
passed without anything occurring;
but their fright had exactly the same
effect as the universal belief that the
end Of the world would come in the
year 1000. The chrOniclerS of those
times tell US that people gave them
selves over to drunkenness and vice,
rather than To religious exercises; the
contemplation of SO awful n catas-
trophe was apparently too much for
human nerves. AT the same time IL
has been observed that whenever a
sudden earthquake in tropical coun-
tries has convinced people that the
actual day of judgment was upon
them. Illicit unions have been hastily
regulariZed and many a son has found
Il father who never before acknowl-
edged him. Such, at least has been
English experience in the East Indies,
and the same was noticed in the great
earthquake during the Venezuelan
revolution a century ago. 1t appears
that men must be convinced that the
disaster has actually arrived before
they will lay bare the innermOSt Sc
cretS of their hearts.-LOndon Globe
