ANIMAL MAGNETisM.-Baron Dupotet, who was for
some time in London, performing experiments in
animal magnetism, is now here, giving public exhi-
billions OF magnetic Patients at the Athenee His
last experiments, at which was present u ere not
very successful, and he attributed his failure to the
dtmpneSs OF the weather, which, he says has great
effect in diminishing the intensity of the fluid The
celebrated magnetic girls OF Smyrna, whose power
was said to be great that the fluid 10 passing from
one to The other, would suspend in the air large
mahogany table placed between them, with good
stout fellow sitting upon IT, said in the Marseii-
les journals, TO have had the force OF the fluid dimi.
nished by similar cause Opinion is much divided
here as TO the truth Of this science but on the whole
IS ETHER making converts among the medical men
M. Defer, physician of Metz, has lust published
an account Of some experiments which are much
more extraordinary than any OF those shown by DR..
Elliuison, in London for he declares that the eyes
OF his patient were first covered with diachylar pas-
Ter and then bandaged and YET that she could read
letters In the dark, play at domnoes, and walk
IN The streets with as great without bandage
in broad daylight. lie states, also, that when in a
magnetic state the strongest shock Of electricity had
no effect upon her. The most wonderful part of NJ

only attest their having all that he relates but
having submitted every part Of the process 10 all RI
gorous proofs which the most ncredulous man could
have desired IL Is very strange that the question
cannot be set at rest, one way or the other II is
mystery now which puzzles the wisest and, al the
same time, does not exclude the practicability OF
making dupes.

POETRY.
THE BELLE OF THE BALLROOM.

bf w. M fhALD.
Yesrs--year sgs--ere yet my dreams
Had been Of being wise or witty;
Ere had done with writing themes,
Or yawned Ger this internal Chiity:
Yesrsr-yesrs sgo-whe ell my Joy
Was in my fowling piece and flly;
In short, when was yet boy,
fell in love with Laura Lilly.
She was the daughter Of dean.
Rich, fat, and rather spoplectic,
She had one brother. just thirteen,
Whose color was extremely hectic
Her grandmother, for many year,
Had fed the parish with her bounty
Her second cousin was peer,
And lord lieutenant of the county.
But titles and the three per cent,
And mortgages aud great relations,
And India bonds, and tliaes and rents,
oh, what are they TO Loves sensations
Black eyes, fair forehead, clustering locks,
Such wealth. such honors, Cupid chooses;
He cares as little for the stocks
As Baron RothschIld for the MUSES..
She skeich'd-the vale, the wood, the beach
Grew lovelier from her pencil'd shading;
She botanized--I enyied each
Young blossom in her boudor fading;
She warblsd Handel--it was grand
She made the Catalini jealous
She touched the organ could stand
For hours and hours to blow the bellows.
And she was Aattercd, worshipped, bored,
Her steps were watched, her dress was noted !;
Her poodle dog was quite adored
Her sayings were extremely quoted.
She laughed and every heart was glad,
As If the taxes were abolished;
She lrowned-and every heart was sad
As II the opera were demolished.
She smiled on many, just for fun
knew that there was nothing in IL
was the first, the only one
Her heart had thought Of for minute;
! knew it, for she told me so,
In phrase which was divinely moulded
She wrote charming hand, and, oh
! How sweelly all her notes were folded
Our love was like most other loves
little glow, a little shiver:
A rose bud and pair Of gloves,
And "fy not yet" upon the river
Some jealousy of some ones heir,
Some hopes Of dying broken hearted
A miniature lock of hair
The usual vows-and then we parted.
We pated--mon,hs and years rol'd by
We met again four summers after;
Our parting was all sob and sigh
Our meeting was all mirlh and laughter;
For, in my hearts most secret cell,
There had been many other dodgers;
And she was not the bathrooms belle,
But only--MrS. Something Rogers.

crowded round the orchestra TO listen 10 music very
different from what they we're used to hearing. The
ball room grew sill as DEATH except when the
silence was interrupted by prolonged and vehement
braves. The landlord was as much surprised and
delighted as the rest. " Pray sir, who are you 7"

DEpRAvirY IN NEw SHApE-We have heard and
read oil many ways in which depraved old women
are turned TO account but until lately heard of
any thing at all similar to that Of which we are now
writing. Upon good authority we have been inform
ed of certain old dame who hires herself out at so
much month, as the mother OF the young woman,
who pays the old woman for the advantages which
the younger one derives from being apparently I'M
der maternal influence and protection The detail
OF the transaction is curious enough and many Of
our readers who might be imposed upon, will proba-
bly, read this paragraph with interest and attention.
An old woman Of respectable appearance, somewhat
OF religious aspect and rendered venerable by her
years. desires accommodations in decent house, in
quiet neighborhood; she has only one daughter, d
modest, pretty looking girl of about eighteen the old
woman's pious garb and mild manners, are in theu-
selves r. communication and with considerable ia
ciliy she becomes the tenant of an honest virtuous
householder not unfrequently widow with chill
dTen., Thus eDsconced, the old dame lives quietly
on, month after month"; the silent witness Of nightly
RIGHTEOUSNESS and depravity-the young woman a
common night walker. The frighttul aspect OF vice
IS scarcely ever kept long concealed, and in few
months the disclosure SO astounding, so revolving,
breaks upon the astonShed family into the bosom of
which the old deceiver, under The aspect OF quiet
sanctity and venerable virtue has silly crept. OF
course the old dame and her Young proegee, are
oused but IN many cases not until scandal and dis
respect have been brought upon the virtuous and
amiabe family imposed on, and in some after
the poison Of depravy has been infused into the u-
nior members OF the unsuspecing family itself.
The circumstances which we have detailed is one
Of exceeding depravily. This partnership in vice
btween the old and young, and entered into by the
genter sex TOO, is horrible. Our informant assures
us that the old woman 10 whom we allude has played
the mother to several young damsels meek mild
looking syrens, who have allured the youth of our
city TO her quiet lurking place, and there introduced
them into the road TO rain. Apart, however, from
the immediate evil effects of any particular act Of
these vicious young creatures, how revolving the
spectacle presented, how destructive in all its bear
ings! All the best and hallowed emotions of The
heart are violated and home with its sancy and
social affections polluted We cannot with propri-
ety. give our readers The particulars of case Of this
kind recently narrated to US by respectable person.
and where the imposition was put upon most wor-
