Photography.—It has been noted as the characteristic of the most refined taste, that it “loves t linger on the magic face of human beauty,” and truly if we range the vast domains of nature in search of that which is most lovely to the eye, and also most interesting to the mind, it is certainly found in the light and shade of the human countenance.

How many have spent their lifetime in trying to portray it with the pencil, and how few have succeeded in giving that living expression to their works which the original possess.  But the recent great improvements in the art of Photography, in a few seconds of time have enabled the operator to catch them all.

We know of no fift which one friend can make to another, which will be, at the same time so cheap and so appropriate, as a good Daguerreotype Likeness—and we know of no place at which (for one week more) or citizens can better supply themselves with these agreeable “remembrances,” than at the Rooms of Mr. Hulanicki, 90 Genesee-st.  See his advertisement, in our last paper.
