PICTURE OF NIAGARA FALLS

Tins great picture, commended for its elegance
OF finish and truthfulncss to nature, has been
sent to Europe for exhibition and sule. Encra-
wings are to be made Of it, and it i, stated, that
already subscription to the amount of sixteen
thousand dollars have been taken for tins picture
1t is the work Of Church, and cost the present
proprietors $4,000. II is to be regretted that
the productions Of our eminent artists are 80 little
appreciated in this country as to render it neccssa
ry that they should be sent abroad for sale. True
the tastes of our people, in this particular, have
not been much cultivated, but we trust the day is
not far distant, when Academies of Art and de-
sign will be established in every State, and ge-
MUS have full scope for the deveopement Of tul-
ent in sculpture and painting. If such were the
case, judging from what has already been done
in these departments, We might cofidently look
forward to the period when some son of America
would place upon canvass, pictures tl,at might
transmit his name to the latest posterity, adding
new lustre 10 his country, whilst another Praxit-
lies would strike from the pure marble of our
quarries, some form of beauty and bid it breathe
nm eternity OF love.
