Daguerrean Gallery.  The subscribers having fitted up the Room No. 97 Chapel street, known as Peck’s Old Stand, would respectfully invite the patronage of the public.  The junior member of the firm has, for a number of years past, been connected with the Gallery of Major Moulthrop, Esq. where he was for some time under the instruction of Mr. Litch—undoubtedly the best artist who has ever taken pictures in this city.  We are confident of our ability to please all who are desirous of obtaining well defined, rich-toned pictures; and haop by courteous treatment and a disposition to give ample satisfaction to those who favor us with a sitting, to gain the good wishes of the community.  Art has dipped her pencil in sunbeams to preserve the face of loved ones—so that we may still have something to remind us of our friends when they are far away, or no more among the living.

“There is a reaper, whose name is Death,

And with his sickle keen,

He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,

And the flower that grows between.”
