"Give my love to the artist workmen of THE AI DISK who are striving t<* make their profes sion worth** of ainiiration for beauty, as it haa al ways been for usefulness."—Henry Ward Beecher. ' PIIE ALDINE, while issued with JL all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely inter stcharacteeishe of ordinary period icals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature, and a collection ot pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and wliitc. Although each succeeding number affords afresh pleasure to its friends, too real value »nd beauty of The Aldioe will be most appreciated af ter it has been bound up at the close of the year.— \Vbile other public publications tuay cl lira superior cheapness as compared with rivals of a similar class. The Aldineis a unique and original conception— ul*.we and unapproached—absolu’ely without com petition in price or character. The possessor of the volume just completed cannot duplicate the quan tity of fine paper and engravings in any other sh pe or numbciof volumes for ten time* itai oxt. Tiie Ial>or of getting The A Mine ready on tlie press is so great that reprinting is out of the ques tion. With the exception of a small number spe cially rcserved’for hiuding, the edition of 1871, is already exhaustod, and it is now a scarce us well as \ulliahlc iHKik. NEW FEATURES FOR 1872. ART DEPARTMENT. The enthusiastic support so readily accorded to their enterprise, wherever it lias been introduced, has convinced thu publishers of The A Mine of the soundness <»f their theory that the American pub lic would recognize and heartily support any sin cere effort to eievate the tone and standard of illus trated publications. That so tunny weakly wicked sheets exist and thrive i* not evidence that there is no market for anything better—indeed the suc cess of The Aldine from toe st irt is direct proof of the contrary. With a population so vast, and of such varied’taste, a publisher can choose his pa trons, and his paper is rather indicative of his own than of the taste of the country. Asa guarantee of the excellence of this denartment, the publish ers would beg to announce during the coming year, specimens from the following eminent American artists: \V. 'f. Richards, Granville Perkins, James Smiley, IVm. Hart, F. O. C. Dar ey R. E. Piguet, Win. Board, Victor Nohlig, Frank Beard, George Smiley, Wn». H. Wilcox, Paul Dixon, Aug. Will, James H. Beard, J. Hows. These pictures are being reproduced without re- g»r I to expense by the very best engravers in the country, an 1 wilf bear the severest critical compar ison with the beqt foreign work, ii being the deter mination of the publishers that The Aldine shall be a successful vindication of American taste in competition with any existing publication in the world. LITERARY DEPARTMENT. of the work, too much dependence on appearances may very naturally l»e feared. To anticipate such misgivings, it is only necessary to state that the editorial management of The Aldine has been in trusted to Mr. RICHARD HENRY STODDARD, who has received assutances of assistance from a host of the most popular writers and poets of the country. THE VOLUME FOR 1872 widI contain noarly 300 pages, and about 250 fine engrarings. Commencing with the number for Tanuary, every tnird number will contain a beau tiful tinted picture on plate paper, inserted as a frontispiece. The Christmas number for 1872 will be asplendid volume in itself, containing fifty engravings, (four in tint) and, although retailed at $1, will Ik* sent without extra charge to all vearly subscribers. A CHROMO TO EVERY SUBSCRIBER was a very popular feature Lost year, and will he repeated with the present volume. The publishers have purchased and reproduced, at great expense the l»eautiful oil ptinting by Seis, entitled " Dame Nature’s School." The chmiuo is 11x13 inches, an J is an exact facssimile, in size and appearance, of the original picture. No American chromo. which will at all compare with It, has vet l»een of- iered at retail for less than the price asked for The Aldine and it together. It will be delivered free, with the Jamt iry number, to every subscriber who pays for one year in advance. TERMS FOR 1872. One copy, one year, with Oil Chromo $5 00. Five Copies " 20 00.

JENNINGS DEMOREST, dee I 83S Broadway, New Yorlr. mm HAVE the “ I am clad you have come here,” said the Marquis di Bultoiio to the young knight, Gaston de Pontaille, as they sat upon the terrace of Boltona Castle. “I am glad you have come, for many reasons; es pecially because I love the company of a young and valiant soldier.” Gaston bowed, and a flush of pleasure passed across his brow. “ The robbers about here are very b >li', ju-t now. The attacked you. I bc.i ve.” ‘‘Three of the villains ventured to do so, but I sent them away with more than they expected." “ A steel ransom. Ha I ha!” “ It is very strange that you are not able to discover their retreat” “ Very—very strange. My men have sought in every direction.” “ The country is favorable to secrecy,” said Gaston, looking round. It spread far away around the castle. From the height upon which Boltono stood, the wide plaiu and the surrounding hills could be <tis- tinguished for a great distance. Hills and crags were near the castle, gullies and paths formed by tor rents lay among them. A river flowed through the plain, turbulent and noisy. “ Yes, it is a good place for them,” said the marquis, in reply to Gaston’s exclamation. “ But yet I wonder at their hardi hood !” “ They rob almost every friend who comes to visit me, unless I send my soldiers to guard them,” said Boltono, bittterly. “ This should be stopped. I wonder that they do not show themselves somewhere.” “I have done all that man can do. Let us forsake this subject for the present. See you yon tower ?” “ Yes. It is older than the rest of your castle, is it not ? I have been much interested in it” “ It is very old and is of Roman construction. We never use it” “Never! Why not?” “ Tis haunted.” “Haunted?” Gaston was sur prised at the seriousness of the marquis, and out of respect to him he suppressed a rising smile of con tempt. “ Yes. It has for many years gone by the name of “the Goblin Tower.” “Why so?” “ Because there are sights to be seen there and sounds to be beard, which are not of this world. Shrieks arc heard at the dead of night, and lights gleam from the turrets. All the peasantry tremble, and the hearts of all within the castle quake for fear.” “ But have you never entered to see the cause of these things?” “ God forbid that I should seek to know aught of the doings of the | powers of darkness 1” “ Tln-y may be done by hands of man, noble marquis.” “ Impossible! Who would j dare ?” “ No great obstacle could pre vent them, if no one ever ventures there." “ Men have gone there and never returned. In tiie life of my grand father, there was a legend about it, and a saying that whenever the castle was freed from the goblin within, there would be no more robbers without.” “ What! have the robbers al ways been here ?” “All the time that the tower was haunted.” Gaston was silent, and mused for a time. “I will tell the story,” said the marquis, “it is not long. This tower was built, as I have said, by the ancient Romans, and has becu in the possession of many a baron. Unee, about two hundred years ago, our family lived in Florence, and a baron who was related to us resided iiere. He was a strange man, of dark thoughts and gloomy aspect. That tower he made his residence. At night lights gleamed from it, and strange sounds were heard there, like no sounds in the world. By day vast clouds of smoke poured from it, often con cealing the lower from view. No one knaw what he did. No one could imagine what were his occu pations. But he became very rich all of a sudden, and built this ad joining castle. The neighbors all believed that by the asjistance of the evil one he had found out the philosopher’s stone. The people suffered very much from him, and robbery was carried on to an alarm ing extent in the neighborhood. Once they ventured to attack the castle iteelf. “At last there came a fearful time. The night was per:ectly dark. Suddenly, some who were looking toward the tower saw flame and sparks issue from the windows of the upper rooms which he occu pied. Shrieks resounded from it. The people burst into his room; the b ron was not to be seen. A bundle of burnt flesh and clothes lay on the floor, with mysterious blackened fragments all around. Themanufxetory ix.HU in „ jj y granf lfather had It beautiful daughter, whom he promised to the man who would venture to search out the cause of those fearful sounds and appearances, which ever since the baron’s time have been witness- Several undertook it but no one bas seen them since.” Gaston was not so much awed by the legend as the marquis. “ They did well—those suitors— and I would do ihe same lb*- a sim ilar prize." tk“ would you venture “Noblesir, you have promised to mak^ me your son-iuslaw,” said r with liis ii corner; upon this he sealed himselfiBoltono soon knew and waited.

You have wEbe enough, iny dear Gaston, to wm tt aozfiifAl v “ But let me also do this. Noble marquis, I cannot—must not be re fused. Why need I tear?

I will free your house of de mons and robbers, or die.” The marquis gave a reluctant conseut. It was mid-day, and Gaston walked outside the castle. There was a deep gorge in the hills be hind, aud the Roman tower rose above this, while the other parts ot the extensive castle lay further from it. Gaston walked to the verge and looked down. The por ter had to[d him not to venture there—that the people in the castle were afraid of the goblins who dwelt there. But Gaston despised the idle tale. “Goblins—ba! ha! What a strange mind the marquis must have, not to see that these myster ious robbers are the goblins and the makers of all this riot. But I must descend and examine here.” He went down slowly and softly among the bushes which grew thickly enough to hide him from view. At length he was surprised to see a beaten path. “ Ha!’’ he cried, “ this was never made by goblins. I will follow and see where it leads.” He descended carefully, and watched the path to see that none were viewing liitn. At last the murmur of a brook told him that he was at the bottom of the chasm. The path before him took a sudden turn around a rock. Leaning stealthily over this, he looked for ward. There was the base of the goblin tower, which arose very far on high, from its foundations at the button ol the chash. There was a small aperture here, so hidden by bushes that none but the sharpest an*, most observant eye could have detected it. He went nearer and hearing nothing, he crawled close to it. Looking in he saw steps which led up. “Now were this unused, the steps would be covered with grass and mould, but they are smooth and are uSed often.” After a few minutes the young knigllt departed by the same path, and soon stood in safety upon the top of the declivity, well satisfied with his expedition. “Well, Gaston,/ said the mar quis, at night, “ are you still deter mined ?” “ I am. I ask only my arms. Can I have the way shown tne?” “Once more, Gaston, let me im plore you not to go.” “ I must go, noble marquis, for I have said it?’ “ Retract your word.” “ I cannot—I would not.” “ Then I must part with you. I fear I shall never see you again. I will accompany you to the place.” The two walked along a desolate hall extending entirely through the eastle. The night was dark, aud the wind moaned as they went on. Doors banged and noises were heard through the house.” “ Those noises do not come from the tower. They are made by the wind!” said Gaston. “ Ah ! here we are, I suppose.” They paused before a massive oaken door, which the marquis opened after unlocking. Tbe bolts sounded harshly as they grated back/ They entered the room. The light which the marquis held was feeble, and illumitated it but in part. The apartment was large and the walls were wainscoted with oak, carved in the antique. Cairs of olden form stood around, and a long table of massive construction stood in the middle. “ I will go into yon closet and watcli the room. I can ire hidden there. “ Do so. Do not expose yourself. Do you want the light?” “"No—O, no. I will be better in the dark.” lie opened the door of an old closet It was empty. There was an opening in it, through which any"one within could look out into the room. Here Gaston entered. The marquis- departed, locking the door carefully. Gaston drew his swerd, and, holding it in his hand, prepared to watch. An o!d chest stood here in one tediously away, yet he sat in patient silence listening to every sound. And these were of many kinds, which came to his sharpened ears. Low moanings sounded without, the doors loosened by age rattled on their hinges, the heavy, dusty drapery shook and fluttered. There was a faint light in room. As Gaston looked through, there seemed to come a brighter light. He was sure of it. A strange t h ri 11 shot through him as the room began to grow visible, illuminated by somei, un8een power. Foitsteps— low muffed footsteps, sounded with out—beneath, whisperings and ex clamations were heard by his ex cited ears. His heart beat quick— lie hold bis sword more firmly. • “ThChour is coming—the time —the scene is at hand. Now shall be seen whether Gaston de Pon- taille will die.” He leaned forward more earnest ly. At the extremity of the room lie heard whisperings—murmurings —footsteps, but he could not look there. Tne light grew brighter. Some form approached. Gaston looked out. It was a tall figure dressed in black, and through two holes in the vail which covered its head the eyes gleamed with intense bright ness. He came to the table and sat down. Another figure follow ed. ft was dressed in the same manner. Two others came on, and the four sat down at the table. *’ Wine,” said the first, in a deep, harsh voice.. One arose and brought a number of bottles. Then each one, lifting his vail, drank in silence Gaston watched in suspense. “ Comrades,” said the first one, “the bishop had much gold. To morrow the marquis shall give more.” A low murmur of applause went round. “ He would have been unmolest ed had he refrained from molests ill that bad happened. A week after, the nuptials of Gaston and Aivira were celebrats ed, and the body of Margo hung in chains from the summit of the “ Goblin Tower.” THE NORTHEAST GEORGIAN, PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY, BY T.

Eacli one, taking off his black robe, disclosed the well-arm ed figure of a sturdy soldier. I heard footsteps here -this night,” said one. “M be a true goblin- “ Fool!” cried the leader, savage ly. “ You are a novice. A goblin ! We are the goblins of the tower, Antonio. Ha! what breath is that ?” “ I said so!” cried the other. The three started as a rattling sounded in the room. They look ed at each other and turned pale. The entrance of their comrade put an end to their term. “ Bring her along!” he cried Gaston could see nothing, but he heard a low moan, as though from a female, and the tone struck a chill to his inmost soul. “Good e’en, my pretty maid,” said the leader. “ Bring her nearer, good Margo, let her be seated.” There was a slight struggle, and Margo broughe forward the pris oner. Gaston started- -his frame shook in frenzied rage. It was Aivira ! He restrained himself. ‘Who are you, and why dare you thus treat the daughter of Boltono ?” “ Because we love the women. Was it not rash in you to walk alone on the terrace at such a time? Could we—the goblins of the tower —resist the fair temptation?” “ What will you do with me?' 1 “ You shall cheer us in our lonely tower” “O. God!” she cried, wringing bar hands in agony. “ No lamentation !” cried the leader. “Come we wish you to be gay—cheer up.” Aivira wept in despair. “Weep not! Why should you ? come, let me have a kiss.” He rose up and reached ont his hand. Aivira shrank back. He stepped forward. The others look ed on in hideous glee—they saw not the door of the closet open— they saw not the armedfigure who stood with unlifted sword. “ Come, one kiss—” “ Villain !” cried Gaston, in a voice of thunder. Aivira saw him—all saw him, as with a bound he sprang forward and hnried his sword in the robber chieftain’s heart. “ Die!” cried the infuriated knight and turning upon the nearest, with one blow he severed his head from h'13 body. The others rose and grasped their daggers. Gaston struck at the no^st and the weap on was dashed from his hand, while the owner was felled to the ground. Margo, the fourth, fell upon his knees. \Vi th a strong hand Gaston bound him, and taking bis rescued love in his arms, he bore her forth along the hall, to the great hall of the castle. The noise had roused the marquis, and The village of Pencedale was thrown into excitement on Thurs day last by the rejiort that two graves had been dug up near Wat son’s Corner, on the shore of the Sangatuck river. The family of Mr. Vyilliam Rose, who reside at Saunderstown, - near the South Ferry, are subject to consumption, several members of the family hav ing died of the disease, and one member of the family is now quite low with it. At the urgent request of the sick man, the father, assisted by Charles Harrington, of North Kingston, repaired to the burying ground, located one mile north of Peacedale, and, after building a fire, first dug up the grave of his son, who had been boried twelve years, for the purpose of taking out his heart and liver, which were to be placed in the fire and consumed, in order to carry the old super- siitution that the consumptive dead draw nourishment from the living. But as the body was entirely re duced to ashes, except a few honest it was shortly covered up, and the body of a daughter who had been dead seven years was taken out of the grave beside her brother. This body was found to be nearly wasted away, except the vital parts, the liver and heart, which were in a perfect state of preservation. The coffin was nearly perfect, while the son’s coffin was nearly demolished. After the heart and liver had been taken out it was placed in the fire and consumed, the ashes only being put back in the grave. The fire was then put out and the two men departed to their respective homes. Only a few spectators were present to witness the horrible crime.. It seems that this is not the first time that graves have been dug up where consumption was prevalent in the family, and the viial parts burned in order to save the living. A few years ago the same was done in the village of Moorsfield, and also in The Beat Way with Obstinate Batter. A Virginia contributor writes as follows for the benefit of a farmer correspondent who detailed his troubles in churning and-asked “ bow to make butter come quick* Iy.” Having been a sufferer from the same annoyances, and having discovered a very simple remedy and one which in our case Has proved entirely successful, I think it is right to make it known. It is simply to place in each two-galldtt jar of cream, one' pint j of butter milk. My wife following the good old Virginia style, delights in tak ing charge of the dairy department after it comes from the stable to the house. She has the milk skimmed into gallon crocks and placed in the cellar for twenty?four hours, then skims the cream, which js put into two gnfion jais, to e§c|> qf^whipW one pint of the 1 buttermnlt •r-tW last churning is added, keep the- cream at a temperature ofsixty-five - degrees, until it gels to the consist ency of clabber, which generjfiLy takes’about forty-eight hours, whvru with but little trouble the trfd-fitsft'- ioned dasher brings the golden hotter. 1. the town of North Kingstown, both of course without effect.—Provi dence Herald, 5th itisL A “ Colombophile” Gkttino Ready tor the next French War.—A “colombophile” is only a pigeon-fa nci„er, but one of them is preparing for a remarkable experi** roent, if we may believe the follow ing statement in Im Liberia of Paris: “ M. Roo rie la Barre, a celebrated Belgian colombophile, bas proposed to the French Gov ernment the formation of a corps of pigeons with a view to service in the next campaign against Ger many. It is suggested that a staff of pigeon-trainers be at once organ ized at the Jardin des Plantes, and several gentlemen vrho distinguish ed themselves ns pigeon-flyers during the late war are named as suitable members. The pigeon corps, which it is proposed should number 25,000 birds, would hare its headquarters at Paris: but, in view of a possible investment of the capital, an entire division would be stationed at Bordeaux. Amies in the field would, of course, be ac- com anied by pigeons, and it is re commended that pigeons from Paris should, on the outbreak of the war, be sent in detachments averaging 1,000 strong to each of the princi pal fortresses. A Petrified Baby.—A pertri- fied baby has been exhumed from a Chicago cemetery. The Times' report says: “ All, save the mother of the little infant, stood, mutely looking upon it, but she became nearly frantic with excitement from the first moment that the body was exposed to view. She had endeav ored to take it from the coffin, cry ing bitterly, and wildly insisting upon taking it with her to her home. Her husband held her back and would not allow her to remove it The mother seemed nearly dis tracted with grief at the thought of its being re-interred. It looked So natural and beautiful, so like tho baby that she had placed in the grave ten years ago, that it brought up all her sorry afresh, as if she was but now laying the loved darling in the earth. The body was re* moved, with others which the fam* ily had come there to exhume, to Graoeland, and rebnried. The family are Sweedes, and it was Beecher Among the White Mountains.—A correspondent of the Merrimack Journal, t wyiting' from the Twin Mountain Pqify. mentions the following incidents of Henry Ward Beecher’s stay at that noted resort r As Mr. Beecher was 1 standing in front of the hotel the other dav, dressed in anything but ministerial style, a dandy-like gen tleman drove up and asked him in a pompous tone if he would take Iris horses into the stable. Beecher replied that he would, and politely helped the ladies from tbecarriage,- took the proffered twenty-five cents, and drove to the stable; Thesteoy' was soon in everybody’s month, and it is unnecessary to say that the gentleman left that night. ;t: ; : Jen :tut T ': Josh Billings’ Resolutions.
