We have been selling these fertilizers for the
past FIVE or six years, and the euviahle repu
ton which they now enjoy in this vicinity, ahd
the constantly increasing demand are the best
evidences of their great value.
AS every fertilizer made manages to procure
certificates of the astonishing effects Of is appi-
cation. though many Of hem have been found
bv the farmers to be far below the standard
and in many instances almost worthless, we do
not adopt the usual plan Of gathering in cerif-
Gates from every one who will give one, as good
certificates will not make fertilizer good. AS

The Fine Arts.

Some years ago, when it was discovered
that by the aid of the sun, q camera, and a
little nitrate of silver, very fair likeness of
the human countenance might be taken, we
were assured that the portrait painters art
had received its final death-blow, and that
miniatures would cease TO be remembered OF
heard of.
But like many other predictions, this has
proved to be quite untrue, for the photo
graph is, after all, but a hard mechanical
reproduction of feature, while the express
sion, which is in fact, the life and soul
of every human face, is, in nineteen cases
out of twenty, entirely changed or altogether
lost.
1t is true, that by retouching and by
coloring, 2 photograph can often be made to
pass as a satisfactory likeness, but it must be
remembered that it requires an artist, and q
good one too, to make these important addi-
tons.
Photographs, toe, are extremely evan
! escent and soon fade if they are exposed 10
the light. 1t may very truly be said Of
/ them that they "come like shadows, SO de-
part"
On the other hand, well educated NINA
ture painted on ivory, as it should be, by The
hand of a skillful artist, who knows the value
| of color and how TO mix and use it, IS yir-
tually everlasting.
The tints which were laid on by the hand
of Sir Peter Lely, who had greatly immor-
talized the court beauties of the time of the
Charleses, are as fresh to-day as they were
when they left the artists studio, and the
sweet but somewhat scnsuous faces still
smile forth as brightly almost as they did
in life.
Those, therefore, who desire, lasting me
mentoes of relatives and friends, which tins
shall not change, must still have recourse tC
the painter's art.
