The Priceless Pearl.

BY ISAAC F. JONES.
There is pearl more rich and fair
Than Indian gems of value rare
More pure than Ophir old
a pearl whose lustre ne'er declines.
Whose matchlcss beauty ever shines
In land ofinys untold;
land no mortal eye hath seen.
For Deaths dark shadows intervene.
That pearl no mountain cave contains.
Nor coral bed in deep domains.
The booming wave below
Its light is nf that glittering ray,
Which gilded baubles eft display
With momen'ary glow
Its mellow rays are ever shed
Around the dying Christians bed.
IT'S not pearl by Ayafice sought
A pearl from distant regions brought
in every cline It's found
Religion is this pearl divine,
Which on the humble heart viii shine.
And ever shall abound
To all who choose It's freely given,
A toretaste Of the joys of Heaven.
This pearl will light the darkest way,
Nights cherries hours will turn to-day,
And rays Of hope impart
Dispel the gathering fears that roll
Oppressi We DER the parting soul,
And che er the sinking heart
And wide unfold the throne of Him,
Who dwells amid the Cherubim.

THE DAGUERREOTYPE ART.-ln this age OF
improvement in the useful arts and in cheap lux
uries, none who possess the means Of subsistence
can make the costliness of family portraits an ex-
cuse for being without them. The art of Daguerre'
otyping, in this country, has reached point of
great perfection, and the artists of New.York are
among the foremost in excellence Of workman
ship, beauty of finish, and quick apprehension
and application of new discoveries. The estab-
ishment Of Mr. D. Z. Gavit, corner of Broadway
and Murray-st to which we alluded few days
SINCE is one of the most extensive in this coan'
try, and combines number of advantages which
give it peculiar claim upon public attention.
Probably larger or better selected Portrait Gal
lery of distinguished personages could not be
found. His rooms are decked with the speaking
likenesses of Presidents Governors, Congress
men, eminent Divines, Jurists, and others more or
less distinguished-the careful gleanings of many
years Joining to large experience that spirit
of enterprise that never fails to succeed, MIR.
Gsvit has been enabled, by his discoveries Of new
chemical compounds and combinations, to impart
to bis pictures finish of remarkable beauty,
which gives general satisfaction, and insures him
frequent premiums In Albany, where his prin'

sage If Gov. Burnett was transmitted the sue
ceeding day. a few days subsequent to the
meeting of the Legislature, Governor Burnett
rendered to that body bis resignation, and Lieut..

D. c. Broderck, of San Francisco, was chosen on
the first ballot 4 day for the assembling of the
Joint convention for the choice of Senator has
not been named, but the vote will probably be
taken about the middle of February
Business throughout the cities Of California, IS
extremely dull. Goods have been sold at IN
commonly low rates, in some instances lower than
the first cost in New York. The want Of rain In
the mountains, has been serious drawback upon
the abors Of the miners. Still, considerable
amounts Of dust are daily purchased by the bank
ers enough not so much es would have been
thrown into market but for the dryness OF the
season.
A project is now on foot to light San Francisco
with gas, and a company will be Immediately or
