erend DR.. Powxs Of ST Peters Church In this City

m.,ic complaint from which he bad been suffering for
,ome time past Dr. Power vss native Of ireland !;

TIE POETRY OF LIsHr-We all know that
every possible effect Of the gorgeous msguincence and
poetical besuty Of color which gives life to the erea
lions Of pencil and robes the msierts universe In
celestial Glory 4. wrapped up 10 that element invisible
itselL yet BY which We see all thinss-LrGHr Inc
imperial parean,ry Of sunset the suroral asshings Of
u
purple mountains the eternal blue Of the heavens
which speaks TO the heart Of God and INFINITE Love
the thousand exquisite dyes that tint the flowers OF
Spring the fruits Of Summer and the leaves Of Autumn
the rosy bushes that crimson the cheek Of beauty
and the golden shadows that play among her hair
everything that delights the eye, and through u intox
Gates the soul with loveiness-exs, In the colorless
rays of that universal clement In which creation sw'ms
The Daguerreotype but single dip into this Him
table ocean of besuty-but the gigantic schromanc
Tense, Of yolgtsnder, setting upon and maeniiylos
the most exquisite scenes painted upon glass ALSO
utey reproduce Nature before u In all her magnificent
reality We have some seventy or eighty views
of the scenery Of the Alps, painted BY the sres'
| vlennese artists, and msgni6ed and Illuminated by
means Of these lenses and the hydro-oxygen light
They are l-mssical-indescribable. They
transport you TO the very spot You see the leo OF
the glaciers cleaning in the sun-the crimson clouds
sailing across the horizon and melting away In the
dl,,snce-the mountain torrent dsshipg and fosmine
over u precipce-you fancy you hear the svalanche'
| "-Above. beneath,
| Crssh with frequent conflict
Then the whole scene di,solves usensiby sway like
the miraculous transitions In some sweet dream and
the cool sequestered valley balmy with fresh Summer
airs ard clothed with that beauty which Nature has
reserved for these secret mountain psrsdises.
Bu, no power of words do more than convey the
dinmes idea Of the wondrous beauty Of these light
pictures; and we must leave the public curiosity to
sa,ste itself upon tho views themselves, when they
shall be thrown open for exhibition which presume
will be now In a short time. We hope Professor
Grant who has them In CHARGE, will make haste.
