YANKEE sILsBEE IN LONDON.

"Yankee Silsbee," now on professional
tour in England, has commenced writing a
series of letters home, 10 the Detroit Daily
Advertiser.-Hs first letter is capital. We

that will be its u!ieTior use at the close of
the present affair. As 10 the contents oil the

the enemies of various nations.

all the pomp of little Englishman, who
never feelssahappy as when boosting of
their victories, "ihis piece is from Waterloo.

A Melancholy Sight.

DR.. Reid, a traveller ,hrouah..Ls Hiahiand
sot Perae, is said TO have found lately IN the
deser. of Ale5tpasihe~ dried remains .of an
assemblage of'human beings, FIVE or six
hundred in number: men, women and chill
dren, seated in a. .semi-circle as when alive :,
staring in TO the burning waste before them
They had not been. buried life had not de-
parted before they thus sat around, but
hope was gone, the Spanish invader was at
hand, and no escape being left, they had
come hither TO die. They still sat immove-
able in that dreary desert; dried like num-
mics, by the effect of the hoiI air. They
still keep their position sitting up as in SOL
emn council, while over that dread Areop-
egus, silence broods everlastingly.

examination of all the histories which have

WHAT A WORLD 1T MIGHT BE.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

o! what a world it might be,
If hearts were always kind:
If, friendship none would slight thee,
And fortune prove less blind
With loves own voice 10 guide US.
Unchangingly and fond;
With all we wish beside US,
And not care beyond.
o! what a world it might be,
More blest than that of yore
Come learn, and twill requite ye,
To love each other more.
o what world of beauty
A loving heart might plan,
II man but did his duty,
And helped his fellow man
Their angel breasts would brighten
The threshold with their wings,
And Love Divine enlighten
The old forgotten springs.
o! what world oi beauty
A loving heart might plan,
If man but did his duty,
And helped his brother man!
