MORNING AND EVENING,

Two engravings under this title, executed Ar:ii
original paintings by the late Von Hoist, have'ri,
been published by Messrs. Sherwood, of the Stran.,
The paintings were among the last productions nfthbelo
gifted artist, and were designed and completed w've

just entering on womanhood, is placed in the cenod
of a bright morning landscape, and her beautiful say
delicate blonde countenance, full of buoyant 01)5:
sion, exhibits all the hope and joyousness of early °it!
The othef female figure is represented sitting vi
an attitude of meditation, under an evening s%c',
and her features indicative of thought allied to 111

youth's first dreams, and the decline of much
elastic spirit. There is considerable grace and ug
verly,
cacy in both these figures, and the artist has cle •
worked out the sentiment which he intended to c°ll
vey. Hoist has been sometimes charged with estl,
vaganee ; but there is nothing of this in the Prccilet
tions before us, which, on the contrary, are in stroe
adherence to nature. The engraver, tills, has d°ol
them every justice, and it is some months Since,,
