LONGFELLOW, THE POET. 

 — There is a sweet song by this admired 

 writer just now much inquired after. It is 

 called "EXCELSIOR." This really sublime 

 effusion of the noet is charmingly wedded to 

 music by MISS M. LINDSAY. It is particu- 

 larly a song for the refined evening circle, and 

 is adorned with a capital illustration. It is 

 among the recent publications of the MESSRS.
