From out the riPpliuB wave;

Far distant thou must dwell
But thou shall hear the sounding sea
In the mlrmur of the shell

A dro owifg cry is on the gale.
They sink--and all is los.l
While happy yet untouched by fea :,
Repeating his farewell,
Poor Mary smiles and loves to hear
The nurmur Of heshell.
The tidings wrecked her simple brain;
And smiling row'she goes &
A mad girl-reckless Of her pain,
Unconscious of her WOES,
Aud when they ring the village chimes
That toned theloeers knell,
She sighs and says she loves attimcs
The music of ahe shell.

twenty mine years of age arrived at Paris about
month ago, to seek place, but as he was
provided with large sum of money, he re-
solved to indulge in debauchery until it should
be spent. On Thursday evening he met some
acquaintances. and renamed drinking until 4
O'Clock in the morning. He then returned to
his hotel in the Rue st. Honore, but was so
drunk that he could hardly walk up stairs.
Yesterday morning person called to see him,
andwas directed to his room which was situated
at the bottom of an insola:e corridor. To his
astonishment he found him hanging BY the neck
by his cravat to the handle ofthe door. He
it appeared, in trying to open the door. had
slipped and his cravat which he wore very
loose caught by the handle. The efforts he
made 10 release himself in his state of intox j.
cation were fruitless, and he remained hanging
until he was complet ely strangled.

PAPIER MAcHE,-Papier mache is becom-
ing one of our most important articles Of manu-
Iacture. In every furniture, jewellers, or fan
cy store, whichever way We turn, We behold
rich and beautiful articles Of furniture and biOu-
tere constructed of papier mache, resplendent
in all the richness Of pearl and gold, and re-
joicing in the possession Of hues which rival
the rainbow in magL ifcence, But the use Of
papier mache is not cOnfred entirely 10 oma-
mental or ia door purposes. 1t Is claimed as
valuable auxiliary to the architect. In the
town of Bergen in Prussia; is an elegant church
capable Of holding 1000 persons, constructed
entirely-ststuses and all-Of papier mache.
Turning our attention to Australia, We find that
there, too have been reared papier mache
churches, and not only churches, but dwelling
houses, and even villages Of papier maehe.
There are extensive manufactures CT this
article both in England and on the Continent.
The North Western Gazette contains an inter-
estiny description Of the process of manufac-
ture. 1t is made of gray wrapping paper pas
ted together in successive layers, with paste
made of glue, -four, and boiling water
When it is to be moulded into the form of sol,
id furniture, the paper is first pasted upon a
model of sufficient thickness. 1t was then
pressed with extreme power, cut in two so that
the model may be taken out, and the parts be-
ing glued together again upon the edges, it is
then turned, aud sawed, and fled, and polish
ed, and baked and vanished, and baked and
vanished again. The last baking imparts its
black color. If it be inlaid, the pearl and 9TH
er materials are fastened on in thin layers, and
the vanishing process is repeated until tbe
black and inlaid parts present unifOlm sur
face. It's then polished and painted and sha-
ded, and the work is finished. Papier mache
furniture being hollow, is lighter than wood,
although the papier mache itself is heavier,
more compact, and quite as strong as the Ordi-
