TO the dark Magnolia tree;
Where the breeze low music bringeth
From the bosom of the sea;
With sorrowful devotion. rts
Lay her where sweet violets be,
Where the leaves keep gentle motion
To the breathing Of the sea.
There, there, lay her,
There, there, leave her,

Ella Lee
Ever blooming as the summer, eNsg
Ever humming like the bee;
We believed her some bright comet,
From the land where souls are free,
Oh she was so sweet and holy,
Mortal ne'er could lovlier be,
And she left us bright and slowly,
As the sunset leaves the sea
Yes, we've lost her, 5,a.
Ever lost her,
Our sweet Ella;
Our fair Ella,
Our young Ella,

Law her where the long grass sweepeth
On the bark Of many tree;
Where the lonely willow weepeth,
Like a mourner by the sea.
She was lovely, she was gentle,
As all gifted spirits be;
Folded in linen mantle,
Slumb ring near the signing sea
We have left her,
Sadly left her,

a NEW DISCOVERY IN THE DAGuERREoTYE
ART is just announced by the Daguerrean Jour
nal of February, by which Impressions upon
plates procured with all the colors of nature.
This discovery has beea made by L. L. Hill, of
Westkill, New York, and it 10 said that he has
produced numerous copies of colored engray-
ings true to the tint. Each particular shade is
presented with all the softness in nature or art.
and marked with great delicacy and brilliancy.
The disooverer had some difficulty with the vel
low color at first, but all colors have and can
now, it is said, be produced. The pictures have
much the appearance of enamelling, and are be-
ieved to be equally durable, for it is very diff
cult to efface them by securing, and are not
acted upon by light. This process, he says,
involves the use of one substance, entirely new,
and is unlike anything ever named by chemists.
Mr.. H. says he has been offered 100000 for a
half interest in his discovery, but declares his in
tentlon to continue experimenting until he has
perfected it as far as he can; when, whatever
disposition may he made of it, he las resolved
that it shall enot be monopolized"

DRIVEN MAD BY THE "RAPPERs"-We learn
from the New York Medical Gazettee that q
case of insanity has occurred within few days
by reason of the revelation made by mysterious
raps, that the steamship Atlantic had been
wrecked with the loss of all on board although
this melancholy catastrophe the passengers
whose spirits" were declared to have been the
rapping, have arrived at home--one of whom to
md his wife maniac, from belief in these
ghostly knockings. Another female has Just
been sent to the asylum, by reason of mesmeric
operations upon her nervous system, avowedly
for the purpose Of rendering her clairvoyant, but
with the effect of booming her to lupacy. 1t is
stated that these instances not mere isolated
cases, for in several Of the asyluns the victims
of these kindred impostures are hopelessIy in
sane.

letter says;
There are here some two or three thousand

Count Batthyany, who had followed during some
time treatment for his health at the mineral baths
of Broussa, did not accompany Kossuth on board
