Furnishing is an Art, "Yes" One of High Arts. ; rfIHE Art of Furnishing deals with J_ ho many >md such various branches of art, and if properly exercised demands from those who practice it so much ability and artistic feeling, that it may fairly claim to rank among the Fine Arts. That it properly occupied this position is indisputable, and there seems no reason why it should not resume its place. PurchaHing Furniture is a simple task. You have polite shopkeepers and salesmen to swear black is white. This or that article is jusb the very thinij, quite new, only opened up this morning. But you say " Will it match my curtains or carpet.-" "Oh yes, Ma'am, couldn't be nearer," never thinking whether they are olive, green, or crushed strawberry. Why not save all worry of niatch^ ing tnd contrast, and make your home cosy and neat bj r employing Upholsterers who make it their study to avoid the gaudy and meretricious, and to procure patterns and colours that will not offend the eye. £10 spent l>y them will equal £50 spent injudiciously. Your favours are respectfully solicited. Experienced Upholsterer will attend given residences to take measurements and Hx, also to sow aud lay Carpets, cut and fit loose Covers. Every descuption of Upholstery work made up and executed at the Factory, Main-street. MITCHELL 6c STUTTER, Cabinetmakers' & Upholsterers, . Main-street and The Square.
