New Pictures mt Lanthter,s.

Mr.. L. A. Lanther's little gallery, at No. Aston
place, shares in the spring impulse to which we
have more than once referred. 1t contains about o
dozen new pictures, some by foreign and some by
native artists. Foremost are two characteristic
caiy quiet pits in Oil by David Johnson. that lover
OF ichens and student OF rocks One II a scene at
Fourteen Mile Island and the Otner q view at
Wawanyanda. 1t Is one thing to initiate the
organic character OF rock with geological accu-
racy; 1t is another to invest landscape with
healthy but tranquil sentiment. Mr.. john
son has united the two achievements in high
degree In the first mentioned OF these
pictures which, although 1t is capable
OF much greater elaboration, bears many marks
Of an aliectonate, intelligent and patient spirit.

to be representative OF Diana OF POictiers. Diana

the other on the table, The floor is esselated, the

toned are quite small, and most OF them are
painted with very minute finish. None OF the
work Is hasty and careless There is small pro-
portion OF buyers VINO do not have to wait to
whether picIure is worth possessin~. It Is to
this class that this limited collection appeals.
There Is also an allegOricai subject by Benjamin

must refer at another time.

namely, The lead mines; and perhaps a
short account of trip, one of many, that

The road, at first, rough and hilly, be-
comes smoother after we are fairly away
from the range of bluffs that border upon
the river.
Our drive winds through beautiful
groves of oak, whose grateful verdure
shields US from the burning sun, and
from whose branches come the songs of
many birds, who in cadences of joy return
to the Giver of all that is beautiful their
gladstone thanksgiving.
At some exclamation of delight from
che ladies of the party, the driver draws
the rein. while we gather from the ron6.

stop at some cieGr spring, of which there
are many, to quaf, out of a rustic cup
formed from broad oak leaf, the only
nectar known to nature; Water, clear as

not least the horses, who with whinr er
of satisfaction dip their noses deep, and
