The accessories of this picture are a distant landscape with a trpe in the middle and foreground. They arp well handled, bui they serve only to support the fig ure, which is one of the bpst pieces thai Mr Johnson ha ever produced. The Fr used Gpntian" after New man. is one of ttiose fearfully and wonderfully elaborate and truthful rr pre.enrations of vegetable life in which tl e pre-Raphaelite school of ar n-ts of New Y rk and eUewhere seem to dehgh. It is in water colors. It looks as if it had been drawn with ihe aid of a microscope ihe most Lil liputian details are so exactly reproduc ed. It is one of the most difficult sub ject to chrotno, and we shall take cn toterest to examining tbe result. Among the fruit p-ices iu press judging In rn the original, we prefer the 'Cherries and ihe Marwbe:rie of Miss Grauleriy, which are certain ly admirably rendt red, nib a luscious fidelity to nature. Mr. Fuller's pieces are highly finished and harmonious in color, but ii strikes us thai the subjects are less likely to be universally popu lar. The "Friend?," by Giraiid, we forgot to name it in our list. it the picture of a title girl who is pelting a Newfoundland dog. Giraud has on excellent faculty for the conception aud execution of thi class of sut jects, atid this t one of his happiest tfl'orts. It will charm the childreu everywhere. In an entirely different s!yle, but of the same character, are the companion pictures by J G Brown, of New York. This young artist excells in genre pic tures; he renders children with a rare ability, especially when there is a tin gle figure at rest, tut in an attitude ex presive of mental action. These suljects the "May Queen'; and the Litile Rogue"- -are just suited to his peculiar genius. The "May viueen is a little girl in the woods, brilliantly a'tired, self-adorned with wild flowers, bathed in ihe sunlight, her eyes lee.ru ing with delight at the thought of sur prising her friends by her new and gay d c rations. The "Little Rogue" is ihe picture of a boy, four or five years old, who is trying io bide him rdlf from soiiic-bcdy coming which somebody he is evidently intending to s artle. He is stooping under a sumac bush, which he gently bends over him. Thi. gives the artist an opportunity for a brilliant piece of coloring. It ia autumn, and the declining sun shoots ns rays through the misty atmosphere, brightning the gay hues of the sumac leaves and warming up the surround insis of the figure, which are rather cold and low iu tone. Tbe two pic tures contrast finely, the clear bright unimer glow of spring in the "May Queen" being harmoniously offset aoainst the dreamy, misty, autumnal vapors in the 'Little Rogue. Mr. rown regards these pictures as his r.aterpices Laster Morning, by Mrs. Harf, is a massive marwe cross, nung round about with fuchsias, pansies, yellow roses and other exqusitely tinted flow- rs. Ills a combination entirely novel. neculiar and lovely We have seldom een an eflect so original produced by i combination of such elements. , There is an affluence of quiet beauty n the wreath that is essentially bar- monmus with Laster and its sacred memories It is altoceiher chartning. If there is a single flaw we have fail ed to divert it As far a ihe chroma has gone it bids fair to rival the origin al; but we reserve cur judgement upon u until it is completed, we know only that if it is ccmparatle to the exquisite punting it will soon te one of the most oiiiiuon ornament cf our boudoirs, vesine, Sunday schools and libraries. 'Ihe last painting was handed in as we were taking notes of the new pub rations. It is a small reproduction of The Crown of New England" a . aiming which, both in England and mencu, l.a. secured for George L. I'rown, some of the highest encomiums n tn art'8's and art critics, which Amer onn productions have ever obtained. Glowing, poetically truthful, full of brilliancy and light und beauty, it rep resents the White Mountains when they are seen to tbe best advantage when, is the portrait painter says, they are in iheir "highest moments" transfigured under the early morning sunburst of a la'e October day. The original on a huge scale is on exhibition at the Art, Gi llery of Childss & Co., where it has been visited and admired by thousand f our wealthiest and best educated . itizens If this beautiful creation, this lyric on canvas can be reproduced in a f c simile, it will mark an epoch in he ar: for the vapors and mists that .neirele the mountain sides, the subtile iradations of light and shade, and the mnrvelous'blendings of colors and tints render it exceedingly difficult either to imitate or duplicate. It is gratifying to know that the pop ular demand for pictures is almost in he exact ratio of their artistic excell ence. Every touch o? nature whether on canvas or in chremo, is instantly re cognized and applauded. The best things i-ell best; do reputations oralis against the fact as in is. "Rupgle's oems' have not paid expenses; whereas Tan s groups co off with amazing ra pidity. Of Britcber's pictures, on the other hand, "The White Mountain" and 'Esopus Creek" and "Sawyer) Pond" (a little gent) and one or two others have a steady and rapid sale, while some others do not move off al all. The people have a truer taste ihan they generally have been credited with in the critical doom:-day book. It is a faith in this instinctive taste that h borne on Mr Prang to the rare good fortune that has rewarded his ef forts. Berwick.
