We said such tourists were the least valuable
They are 30 for if they would write book ouly
to smuse. let il be in the unpre,end,ag form Of
fashionable novel, and nobody will saspsct ,Aem Of
any very lofty olive, ~ general rule But still.
such works, when well written, are valuable.
They are even usefi', ssrtcu'arly In this country,
where the FIRE Of life burn, eirl cesseless. all
consuming flame, and 30 little time s given for
leisure and =. Election.
The sesonj, and higher class, are naturalisis,
whose works are always valuable, and al ways in
teresting. II we had space, we should like to
glance at the many European writer's, from La
Sale down to Professor Lyel, who have opened
to the world 90 many BRIGHT pages of the natural
history of the new world, where God seems to
have treasured up the chiefest physical wonders of
the globe, and lavished with the greatest profuson
the majestic works of his hand. They are little
read and less understood, while all the circulating
libraries of London are thrown into commotion by
Mr.. Dickens's Notes." to say nothing of the ge-
neral preparation which started from every pore Of
democratic America, even to the Five Points, af-
fecting boarding school misses in Troy, and old
maids in Vermont, poets in their pork cellars, and
senators drinking their mint juleps in the gro ggery
under the Capitol But such works are read
thoroughly by those men who do the thinking of the
world; and although the corps of their readers is
small, it is the ifeguard of humanitythe "forlorn
hope the world.
And then, there is the last and highest class
Of tourists-those who combine with clearness, and
analyze with honesty and truth-whose hearts are
with man in his progress through the ages-who
have no party to serve but truth, and no country
but mankind. These are the men to whose writ
ings we are indebted for whatever we know Of the
world in past centuries. Theirs are the writings
which, above all others, enlarge the heart, and
make II beat kindly for the race--which have so
strongly swayed the greatest and best men of our
times-which have inspired confidence in man, the
child of the universal Father, erring il may be,
and often deceived; but still struggling manfully
against darkness, opposition, and untruth, every
where the same.
Ne labored argument ia needed to show that
readers Of this class, who have annihilated, at
least in the hearts of all philanthrspic men, the
barriers Of oceans, mountains, and governme nts,
that have separated man from man, deserve to be
esteemed the authors Of what is yet to be seen in
our world, a general brotherhood of mankind.
We need not waste time to prove that such writers
are deseredly reckOned among the best of authors
that, IN the estimation of enlightened criticism,
they are hardly TO be separated from great histo-
iians themselves.

Description of San Francisco
By WALTER COTTON, U. S. Navy.


The bay of San Francisco resembles a
broad inland lake, communicating by
narrow channel with the ocean. This
channel, as the tradition of the aborlglnles
runs, was opened by an earthquake, which
a few centuries since convulsed the con-
tinent. The town was built on the south
bend Of the bay, near its communication
with the sea. Its site is succession OF
barren sand hills, tumbled up in every varl-
ety of shape. No levelling process, on
scale of any magnitude, has been attempt
ed. The buildings roll up and over these
sand ridges like a shoal Of porpoises over
the swell Of wave, onl y the fish have
much the most order in the disposal oi
head and tail. More incongruous combi-
nations in architecture never danced IN
the dreams Of men. Brick warehouses,
wooden shantees, sheet-iron huts, and sha-
king tents, are blended in admirable con-
fusion.
But these grotesque habitations have as
much uniformity and sobriety as the hab-
its of those who occupy them. Hazards
are made in commercial transactions and
projects of speculation that would throw
Wall street into spasms. / have seen mer-

TO MYSELF.
FROM THE GERMAN OF KARL MARoLD.
Peace! troubled Soul,
Raeked with dim Doubts, fierce Hate, and
reckless Strife,
That darkly roll
Within thee like the angry Oceans swell,
Giving to Life
The furious aspect of raging Hell.
The warning heart
Itself most Injuries in its savage aims,
For every dart
With fury hurled leaves keen sting behind
That soon infiames,
And drives to madness the reyengeful heart.
Learn to be wise,
And cherish wishes loving, pure, and calm;
Be just, and prize
Liie's many blessings as thy years increase,
And the sweet balm
OF tender friendship, love, and sunny peace.
This glorious EARTH
The many noble virtues OF Mankind!
Have they no worth!
And is there not better world TO win?
Oh, be not blind,
And strive to know thyself-no more to sin.
The old man weeps
When youths bright visions stare him IN the
face;
And, when he sleeps,
guardian Angelsighs o'erwrath and CRIME
Rejected grace,
And shattered prospects of the golden prime
And perfect Faith giId thy remaining days,
And look above
For newborn strength, contentment, and re
lief;
Give God the praise,
And meekly bear thy useful load of grief.

For Small. Sized Ladies.

In little precious stone,
What splendor meets the eyesl
In little lump of sugar
How much of sweetness lies!
So in a little woman,
Love grows and multiplies;
You recollect the proverb says
"a word unto the wise"
A pepper-corn is very small,
But seasons every dinner
More than all other condiments,
Although its sprinkled thinner.
Just so little woman is,
If love will let you win her;
There's not a Joy in all the world
You will not find within her.
And as within little rose
You find the richest dyes,
And in little grain Of gold
Much price and value lies;
AS from little balsam
Much odor doth arise,
So in a little woman
There's taste of Paradise.
The sky-lark and the nightingale,
Though small and light of wing,
Yet warble sweeter in the grove
Than all the birds that sing:
And so a little woman,
Though a very little thing
Is sweeter than all other sweets,
Fen flowers that bloom in spring.
