RsNKxBER THE DEAD.-There are at the Dire
sent time, thousands Of people, who have only
one picture left Of some dear friend who is dead
and that one slowly fading away, and liable to
be entirely destroyed at any moment. Those
who have such pictures should not delay single
day in having them copied into some more dura-
bic form. A call at the Vermont Gallery Of Art
will convince any one that good pictures can be
made from those that are almost entirely oblit-
Grated. There are on exhibition upward. of
thirty large Oil Colored Photographs, some of
them made from old ambrotypes, the outlines of
which were scarcely visible. yet, by the aid of
Jackson's Magic Brush, they now sppeAr per-
feet and lfe-like, and have all the durability Of
oil paintings. The facilities which Styles has
