PHoNoGRAPHY. We were not until few
days ago, aware of the extent to which Phonog-
raphy has already spread over England, ireland,
Scotland and Wales. Our readers will be sur
prised to hear that there already eight week
ly and monthly periodicals in those countries,
each having large subscription list. The En-
gish Photographic Society numbers several
thousand members, among whom are most of the
teachers of the kingdom These gentlemen
make themselves very active at lectures all over
the country, drawing thousands OF persons into
their classes. Professor Clarke of Marischal
College, Glasgow, is leading Photographer
in Great Britain, and has made several eloquent
speeches in favor Of the new system OF writing.
The ladies OF the different auxiliary societies
get up festivals TO commemorate its introduction
into their respective eighborhoods and, in many
instances, the Mayor or some member of the
House of Commons presdes at them
Altogether, there is among the Photographers
Of Great Britain degree of enthusiasm on this
subject which rarely attaches 10 a reform so

Costly FILTRATION. The Circuit Court at
Louisville, KY. was occupied nearly or quite
week, toward the close OF November with the
trial OF breach OF promise case, the plaintiff be-
ing Miss Nano Hayes and the defendent Mr. John
Hayes, wealthy grocer of1that city. The par
ties are not of kin, though they bear the same
name. Miss Nano is young lady of three or
four and twenty, handsome, of good family, and
creditaby supporting herself as a teacher Of Tnu-
sic. The defendant was bachelor OF forty-ive
or thereabout, of rather bachelorish habits and
believed TO be the possessor of forty or fifty thou
sand dollars. About two years ago he became
acquainted with Miss Nano and soon gave I'M
questionable evidence of being remarkably well
pleased with her society; he was a frequent Wis
itor at her fathers house, was almost sure to fall
in with her-of course by accident whenever
she went out, made her little presents singled
her out in company, and in short was decidedly
what is called particular in his attentions AS
the intimacy rIpened he began to exercise rather
more than an accepted lovers control over her
tastes and movements; was ill-tempercd il she
talked with other single men, insisted upon her
sitting in his pew at Church-the parties are both
Catholics--interlered with her style OF dress and.
in his gay moments, was fond of making illusions,
half-joking, hat-serous, to their eventual union
All OF sudden, however, he absen;ed himself
from the house and the young lady was startled
one fine morning, by the information that he had
married another, with so little premonitory indi-
cation that very few were aware OF his even be-
ing acquainted with her. In process of time suit
was brought by the deserted fair one, whose feel
lngs had undoubtedly been wounded and mortif-
ed by the unex pected issue OF the courtship

A HYMN.

HERE IS an unknown language spoken
by The nd winds that sweep The sky
BY The dark storm clouds, thunder broken
And waves on rocks that dash and de
by The lone star, whose beams wax pale
The moonlight sleeping on the vale.
The mariners sweet distant hymn.
The horizon that before US flies,
The crystal armament that lies
L. the smooth sea reflected dim.
IT'S brealhed by the cool streams al norp,rg
ne sunset on the mountains shapes.
The snow that daybfeak IS adorniDf
And eve that on the turrei fades
The city SQUADS that rise and sink,
The TAR swan on the rIvef's brink.
The quivering cypress murmurd sighs,
The silent temple on the hill,
The solemn silence deep and still,
Within the forests mysteries.
or thee, o God this voice is telling.
Thou who art truth, life, hope and ave
On whom night calls from her dark dwelling
To whom bright morning oOks above
OF Inexperienced By every sound,
Whom naiure's allmysterous round
Declares, yet not defines thy light
OF ihee-ihe abyss aud the source, whence all
Our souls proceed, in which they fall,
Who hast but one na.ne-INFINfTR
All men on earth may hear and treasure
This voice, resounding from all time,
Each one, according to mis- measure,
Interpreting its scene sublime.
But ah the more cur spirits weak
Within its holy depths would seek,
The more this vain worries pleasures cloy;
weight, TOO great for earthly mind,
O'erwhelms its powers. until we find
In solitude our only JOY.
So when The feeble eye-ball fixes
Its sight upon the glorious sun,
Whose gold emblazoned chariot mixes
with rosy clouds that towards IT run;
The dazzled gaze all powerless sinks,
Blind with the radiance which 1t drinks,
And sees but gloomy Specks float by;
And darkness indlsuuct oeIshade
Wood meadow, hill and pleasant glade,
And The clear bosom OF the sky.
