Seletteb 4oetrg,
A Death Song.

The following lines are very remarkable, and
present a striking example Of the poetry Of des-
peration, which is painfully true 10 the eIrc"tn-
stances under which it was written. 1t appeared
for the first time in the St. Helena Magazine, from
which it was transferred to the London Spectator,
and was supposed 10 have been written by a Brit
ish officer in the East India service during pc
riod when p.stilence was raging, and
death wnrked by night and 'iay,
As when an earthquake smarks it, inninhling lips

Distress in New York.


The following is another example of the
'wondeslul prosperity which some papers
lately cndeavored 10 gnll the public pervades
the city Of New York. 1t is from late mum
ber Of the Daily Ne"s
The Haunting Of bright banners, the con-
tinuons rattle Of drums and rar piercing flies,
nor all the bravery Of gay trappngs and din
Of martial instruments with which the Demon
is wont to be-dazzle and deaten the hearts
and reason Of his victims, will suffice to con-
ceal from the inquiring, truI-invrstiga'lng
eve, the terrible reality that our wealth and
our prosperity are taking quick wings to fly
! away. The professional man in his office, the
merchant in his counting house, the tradesman
at his desk-aye, even the poor working girl
in her attic and the day iaborcr on the street
tell you bat one tale Of terror. Everything
that has appertained to our days of glory is
withering, and the hopes Of all but those who
are apt to profit by the human shambles
tremble and sicken rs they take birth. The
skies and yerdure OF spring, in this beautiful
region a.e as bright as ever, and the alter
noon sunlight CLEANS as pleasantly on tower
and steeple and roof. But could that light OF
God penetrate to the hearts of his creatures,
and make visible the secret repinings and
tears Of each to all, how soon would our peo-
plc awaken from the frenzy which some evil
agency. armed Nth an hours control, now ex,
ercises over them.
We will not ask our readers to visit with
us the homes of usual poverty and toll, but
simply direct their steps, even on the balml-
est Of these spring days, along Broadway
alone. 1t is not an unpleasant walk, in many
respects, and may prove in some new sense
u most instructive one.
