To gaze upon the works of light!

How high the polish, pure the tone,

When ev’ry face is nature’s own;

Sure, never art with all its skill,

The soul with such transport won,

As by those pictures from the sun,

Which on the plate imprints the face

With every line, and shade, and grace,

Till we admit with throbbing heart

Great nature triumphs over art.—

Is this picture not perfection,

Painted by the Sun’s direction;

Heav’ns bright ray shed from above,

T’enshrine the forms to those we love.

M. A. Kennedy of Nashville, has just arrived in our city, and is furnishing these new and beautiful pictures made in the highest style of art, Superior both in point of artistic execution, and the character of the material employed to any thing before known.
