In our latest visit to tue attractive Ha1l ot the

cmcn Of the Artists best Efforts, amt seems
to us tbat 10 one can fail to th'nk 1hat one WHO
can pant suci scenes as luis IS worthy VI the
high position he occupies among American Ar
lists. Most characteristic OF the Green siona~

aud composition the painter must nave o"e't

green slopes OF tue vermont MOUNTAINS Until
his brush became hllea with inc Amos
phere and spirit Of the scenery. we mare
heard this picture criticised as being too green
and for giving US in the woods, tue foreground
as scontrastcd with tue mountain side, two shaies
Of green which are never found together IN like
manner i'll nature. \ criticism, which person
RHO Inns never been in Vermont is very prone to
make !; just as one who has never been in Italy
may lind many skies in italian Landscapes too
| blne- But the Green mountains arc really green,
we beg pardon for saying it-and nature, cap
ricious, variable, and abonndiug in artistic re-
sources, has more than ono shade on her pallet !;
aud in the out Of the way woods Of Vermont,
has fallen into habit Of n1ingling and contrast
ing her greens in i most extraordinary manner.
| Whatercr others who were ncrer there may say
we think no resident Of Vermont weuld fail to
find truthfulncss aud fidelity to nature in this
picture, sucl, us is found no where else, sayo in
other pictures of tic same Artist and at home.

views Of Norwegian scenery by this artist
There are very few, fany Of thu Dusseldorf Ar.
