In reply to letters received at these Headquar-

CHILDHOOD.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

It's sad, yet sweet to listen
To the soft Winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood loved 50 well.
To gaze out on the eve,
And the bounGloss fields Of air,
And feel again our b0yhOOd' wish,
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams OF Gladness!
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb Of feeling,
Old thoughts come thrOnging fast;
The forms we loved so dearly,
In the happy days now gone,
The bcanti and lovely,
So far to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidcns.
Who seemed Sc formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world IS this
Whose dark soft eyes seem'd swimming
In sea Of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows SO sunny bright.
Like the brightest buds of summer
They have fallen from the stem
Yet oh , it is lovely dream,
To fade from earth like them.
And vet the thought is saddeninS,
To muse on such as they,
Aud feel that all the beautiful
Are passing swift away!
That the fair ones. whom We love,
Grow to ach loving breast.
Like tendrils of the clinging vine,
And perish where they rest.

MAY DAY.

Where shall we keep the holiday,
And duly meet the entering May!
Too strait and low our cottage doors,
And all unmeet our carpet floors;
Nor spacious court, HOr monarch's hal,

Up and away. where naughty woods

We will Climb the broad backed huls,
Hear the upr0ar Of their JOY;
We will mark the leaps and CLEANS
Ofthe new.delivered streams,
And the murmurlnS Tvers OF sap
Mount in the pipes OF the trees,
Gildy with day, to the toplEo5t spire,
Which for : spike of tender green
Bartered its roWdery cap;
And the cOiOrs Of Joy to the blrd,
And the love in its carol heard,
Frog and lizard in no iday coats.
And turtle brave III his golden spote;
We will hear the tiuy roar
OF the insects cvermure,
While cheerful cries of craS and PLAIN

As poured the flood Of the ancient sea

That rims the running silver Sheet
So pOurs tho deiuge Of the heat
Broad uorthward o er the land,

Dragging herbs with Syrian spices,

An extraordinary sight was Witnessed Ii
the principal London streets last Thursday
Rather more than a thousand OF the most
miserable wretches that ever wore the gart
of humanity formed Il procession and
marched in silence from the neighbOrhOOd
of Wrapping and Whitechapel to the aris
tocratic quarters OF st. Jame's and Belgra-
via. There was no disturbance or excess
of any kind. Every man was Ill rags, and
every form and face bore the unmlstakable
mark of distress A banner or two con-
tanned inscriptions indicative OF their char.
acter aud their wants, and few carried
money boxes to receive any donations that
might be bestowed upon them. Why, l
know not, but it was deemed worth while
to prevent this demonstration on the part
of the authorities, but the sight was one
that did not tend to add greatly to an
Englishmans pride. These men, it is well
known, were only the representatives of a
body forty times their number, fer 1t has
been ascertained that there arc no less
than forty thousand in the eastern part OF
London, not only out of employment, but
seduced to the extreme of dest1tution, and
dependent on daily charity for their morsel
of bread, or cup of soup, that keeps the
fame of life alight within their emaciated
bodies. It is a frightful thing to contem-
plate and what is to be the end of this state
of things Heaven only knows.
