DEATH ON THE PALE HoRsE.-To-night our citizens can have the pleasure of witnessing for the first time in this city, WEsT's great painting ol "Death on the Pale Horse.' 1t will be exhibited at the Second Methodist Oh urch, commencing at , o'clock. It is spoken of in the highest terms, by ouI contemporaries of the press, wherever it has been hibted. In speaking of it the St. Lou.s Reporter says: 8d
 !" Th,s work is considered the ehsf d'euvre of West, and is unsurpassed for it's subl,mity and moral effect. The genius of the artist has, ia this instance been employed in representing 10 the eye one of the most terrific scenes referred to in Holy Writ, and the thousands wh have examined the painting, have expressed their admiration of the wonderful creation of the ar,ist'a pencil The general effect of the painting IS ndescribabe, exciting ming led emotions of awe, pity, and terror. The expression given to the countenance of Death. he hurls his darts u,- sparingy Iu every direction, is terrific in the ex. ireme. and IS heightened by the wild and appalling aspect of the Pale Horse which he r,des and tl,e | demons following im the train. The group al the feet of the Horse; the wife andInfant chd feless
 the ln,lescribable emotions depicted in the husband and iather's countenance; the appearance of the starving man; the expression of the different tions on the countenances of the group the right the painting, give intense power to this sublime vol of art. All who have any taste for the noblest tons of masters pencil, wIll surely visit this pa mi ing by West. Hours wi Il hardly suffice 10 enable the viser 10 perceive all the wonderful effects of the artists genius, as exhibited in the various figures and groups on the pa nting and nothing but the cye can convey 10 ,he mind correct impression of il. power and sublimity.
