A Modern Deluge.

The 10 h of October. 1654, was a day

so rematkably calm that a foreboding K"---saJz d the inlubiUrUa <•£ Nordab-and that something strange wai abmt to h ,pp,en Next day was SomJUy. and they were' in church. About the middle of the d&yjih* sea, which should have been ebbing, rapidly roe and at'sinod a height unpre cedented in the annals of ihe island Still they hoped aid beliwved tint the dykes would bear the strain. But alrao i-t | eiaiukaneously.these bulwarks gave way, j and in a few moments (he sea b»oke in | By tan o'olook at rijrht all was over. Th*e dyke had broken in forty-four pKcef-- The sea had dtvldsd..U'»rdsiraud into the twn largest islands, knowp now as Nord strand and Pellworm, and fifteen other Manrta, OF the popola'ion of old Nord s^rwnd 8200 were drowned, and, in addition, 50 000 head of s-heep and cattle, 13 millß, and many churches were swept Into the sea, leaving, in si-ma c-isea. not a tr&oe behind frVem. The fl >nd ws experienced along the whole ooa t, and especially in the neighbouring 'Arat'of Tondern ,in wlmre urw* destruction was caused Altogether, in Jhe Cimbrian Peninsula, from Hoist in to Skag«n, inJuthnd.it was cilcnWed that upwards of 15 000 human be'ngs perished by this terriMe victory of the sea over he land. Some of thp Nordstrand people managed to reach Fo'ir, where their deacendants form to this day a considerable portion of tho population But the memory of their advent is sMl' preserved by the peculiar dialect of Frisian which they speak, and by the namn of * Wiecklince ' —or ' people who have fl?>d '— applied to them by the other inhabitants of the island Just now half the village of Wyk and the wh^le o p Nieblum jjare peopled by these • Wieck llngs. 1 After the fliod bal subsided, B^me of the people returned and commenced the world anew. But others of the new-old islets remained uninhabited until settlers from Holland l'shted on them, and immediately, with their u^ual industry, set to work to dyke fhem, and generally to extract food oat of the pand and mad. Nordstrand and Pe'lworm were generally affected by th«sp Hollanders. Hence these two islands form an exception to the others, in so muoh *har. in them that broad dialpct of German known aa Platfc deu'pob, and not Frisian, is the laaguageof fheinh^Muntp. Many * improving;' sermons were preichod on the event, If was demonstrated, for example, that thia delusre wai on^y a second edition of 'Noah's sin fl-od,' brought for the Frisians' in'quhy. Otip preacher is said to have declare'? fhat. though he neve" doubted the flood being a punishment for the people's shortcotp ingp, jet he would alow that the Nord strand rlykes were very low »<-. the ppnVd.—From 'Peoples of the World,' by Dr Robert Brown.

He is said to have been in tears the greater part of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, thare ia nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's anger —controlled of courae—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent Journey, everything ia lost through the horse falling lame; and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuttered sufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, '• I uttered no com plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatest consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of ME KINGSTON. 2 17 PIPES.
