"THE COURT OF DEATH."--Thisa ad-
mirable painting is now being exhibited at
Troy, New York. The Pos, says Of il:


"We hope no individual will neglect the
opportunity of seeing it, as it presents lesson
well worthy the study OF. man. Here the Ter.
rible result Of war, and the deplorable conse-
quences ofintemperance are presented in truth
ful, though melancholy imagery, exhibiting a
fearful contrast with peaceful, temperate old
age, and innocent and yirtuous youth, while
Death. the King Of Terrors, sits triumphant in
his dusky court, PROSTATE mortal llieless al
his feet. The picture taken as whole, is the
conception OF mighty mind, executed with
unerring skill, but if we might be permitted to
parlicularze, we should say in those charac-
ters representing Virtue, Famine, Pleasure,
Infancy and Death, the Artist has most excel
led, and all but made the Canvass speak. Let
no lover Of the fine arts. or Of the grand and
beautiful, fail Of seeing this painting, Tor this
side Of the grave, he will hardly find another
"Court of Death" 10 equal j, in sublimity."


ARisTocRAcY IN CHURCH. The N. York
Sun, noticing Trinity Church, in that city,
says


The Trinity Church people are exercising
their ingenuity to keep the common herd alta
respectable distance. Among other precau-
tons, they station porter at the gate 10 keep
out all but those who "belong" to the church,
or are by special grace permitted 10 see il; and
when the privileged are safely housed, the
gates are locked during divine service TO pre-.
vent the intrusion of ordinary citizens. The
church was dedicated 10 God, but the inside is
private properly. This is a new pattern OF re-
form, but with fortune Of thirty millions in
hand, Trinity can afford to have original ways
Of her own.
