the "asking" and the "taking" price. They mean to do business in a fair, straightforward way.

Both strangers and citizens may rely on the most scrupulously polite treatment at their establishment, whether they become purchasers or not.

Ladies are expressly and most respectfully invited to call during their promenade in Broadway, and amuse themselves by examining the pictures, statuettes, and other works of art and taste, with which the walls and shelves of this store are always adorned.

Commerce and Art.

EACH climate needs what other climes produce,
And offers something to the general use;
No land but listens to the common call
And in return receives supply from all.
This genial intercourse and mutual aid,
Cheers what were else a universal shade,
Calls nature from her ivy-mantled den,
And softens human rock-work into men.
Ingenious Art, with her expressive face,
Steps forth to fashion and refine the race;
Not only fills necessity's demand,
But overcharges her capacious hand;

Capricious taste herself can crave no more,
Than she supplies from her abounding store;
She strikes out all that luxury can ask,
And gains new vigor at her endless task.
Hers is the spacious arch, the shapely spire,
The painter's pencil and the poet's lyre ;
From her the canvas borrows light and shade,
And verse, more lasting, hues that never fade.
She guides the fingers o'er the dancing keys,
Gives difficulty all the grace of ease:
And pours a torrent of sweet notes around,
Fast as the thirsting ear can drink the sound.
These are the gifts of Art-and Art thrives most
Where Commerce has enriched the busy coast.

The Ring.

I SATE upon a mountain,
From home-land far away,
Below me hills and valleys,
Meadows and corn-fields lay.

The ring from off my finger
In reverie I drew,
The pledge of fond affection
She gave at our adieu.

I held it like a spy-glass
Before my dreaming eye,

And through the hooplet peeping,

The world began to spy.

Ah, bright green, sunny mountains, And fields of waving gold!

In sooth, a lovely picture

For such fair frame to hold!

Here, many a neat, white cottage
Smiles on the wooded steep,

There scythe and sickle glisten

Along the valley's sweep!

And farther onward stretches

The plain the stream glides through, And (boundary guards of granite), Beyond, the mountains blue.

Cities with domes of marble,
And thickets, fresh and green,
And clouds that, like my longings,
Towards the dim distance lean;

Green earth and bright blue heaven,
The dwellers and their land-
All this, in one fair picture,

My golden hoop-frame spanned.

Oh, fairest of fair pictures,

To see, by Love's ring spanned, The green earth and blue heaven, The people and their land!
