O
THE FINE ARTs.-The ad v ance OF our people
in those phases of culture and refinement which
tend TO development of a love of the beautiful
in nature and art has been very rapid of late
years. The music of the great masters is now
TO be heard in orr churches, and in thousands
OF homes throughout the country; tasteful arti-
Giles for the toilette, and beautiful statuettes.
vases, &c, many OF them exact miniature cop
les OF the immortal works of ancient Greece
and Rome, abound in the houses Of those who
are in the enjoyment OF moderate means only,
while even in the dwellings of the poor exc nis-
tie engraYlngs and photographs hang on walls
hitherto unadorned. except BY cheap and gaudy
prints of blue and pink Daniels at the bottom
OF wells insanely staring at the scarlet eyes OF
impossible yellow lions with green names;
prodlgal sons in battered plug hats and tights
rushing into the arms Of relentmg fathers re-
splendent in swallow tailed eoats-blue. with
brass buttons-or long professions of known
ana unknown animals, commencing with ele-
phants and ending with mice, coming forth in
pairs from frame barracks growing out of mud
seows on the sides of steep hills supposed to
nave some reference to NOahs ark: or Abra-
ham about TO slaughter Isaac with a New Eng
land axe previous TO laying him on a handy
pile of cord wood, while a sickly looking ram
has his head and horns projecting through a
brush fence in the corner, evidently stupefied
AT the position in which the artist has placed
him.
If any of our readers wish to have a real.
iZlng sense OF tie great dyance we have made
in this direction alone, let him visit Markrter's
store, No. 4S6, Seventh street, and examine his
superb collection OF pictures There can al
ways he found AT his establishment OIL paint
mgs fit to grace any art gallery, besides chromos
engrayings, and photographs. among them
some OF the most celebrated works OF art
Markrier's good taste il shown no less in his
selection of pictures, than in the settings he
provides Tor his gems. There is more in the
proper iraming of a picture than many people
imagine and from the great variety of frames
cords, tassels. &c, in this establishment. a
choice can be made to suit any size or stvIe of
painting or engraving. Not in this direction
only can Markrter's judgment be trusted. bur
all interior decorations, such paper hang

variety OF wall paper and curtains and once
