The Death Of The Roses.  The last rose of summer is faded, ‘tis true;

But its fragrance and beauty we will not forget,

They’ll live in our souls all the long winter through

Like a twilight that marks where the sun has just set.

Our friends too, will fade, and as certainly fall,

As The rose that withers in autumn’s cold breath,

Then let us secure, of the worshipped ones all,

What science can save from the ruins of death.”

Namely, a correct and unfading Likeness; and at no place in this, or any other city can it be secured with a greater degree of certainly, than at the Daguerrean Gallery of Furt, on Sycamore street. He has also on hand a large and most beautiful assortment of Lockets, Pins, Fancy Cases, Frames, &c., in which to have pictures placed—all of which will be sold low with picture complete.

Remember, at the Gallery of Furt is the place to secure the most acceptable present that can be given or received.
