We are indebted to the kindness of Mr. T. M. Easterly, an experienced and highly accomplished Daguerreotypist of this city, for the use of the impression from which the above picture of the State House of Missouri has been engraved. The view was taken from a point near the Missouri river, several hundred yards below the capitol.

MR. EASTERLY has traveled extensively in the United States, and has taken daguerreotype impressions of a large number of beautiful scenes, all of which as well as the points from which they were viewed, appear to have been selected with taste and judgment. His gallery on 4th street is well worth a visit from all who delight in the Fine Arts.

Truly, this is beautiful out of the Bible, we have never read anything more so. There is that simple aptness so peculiar to Hebrew poetry expressive, by a chaste and happy comparison, embodying the true nature of an Evangelist. He promulgates not his own wisdom: he falls back upon God's revelation to his rational creatures, and out of golden buckets pours forth living water, "free for all who thirst after holiness- himself as one standing by the fount of truth, teaching all who come "with hearts to receive."
