BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
WIT AND HUSIORI
A gentle voice, a livnrtfelt sigh,
A modest blush, a speaking eye,
A manner unaffected, free;
These things are beautiful to me.
A ready hand, n loving heart,
A sympathy that’s free from art,
A real friend among the few;
These things arc beautiful nnd true.
A mother’s prayer, an answer mild,
An aged sire, a little child,
A happy hqruc, a cheerful hearth ;
These things aro beautiful on earth.
A joyful song, a chorus sweet,
An earnest soul and willing feet,
A day 'ot peace, a night of rest;
These things are beautiful and blest.
A sister's love, a brother’s care,
A spotless name, a jewel rare,
A cleanly tongue, that will not lie;
These things are beautiful—and why ?
Because they nil are born of love,
And emanate from God above;
An earnest of the heavenly birth,
Tin sc things are lienutitul on earth.
FOSSIL MAS AT MENTONE.
Dr. J. Henry Dennett gives an ac
count in the Lancet of the fossil man
found by M. E. Riviere in the bone
caves at Mentone. I saw it, he says,
and carefully examined it threo days
nflcr the first discovery, when it was
still tyvo-thinjs imbedded in the win-
pact foil of the cave. M. Riviere was
obliged to sernpe and separate the soil
f-om the skeleton with the liter most
care. This labor took him above a
week, so anxious was lie to do no in
jury to I he hones. The skeleton, that
of a man about six feet in bight, was
in a recumbent semi-curved position,
as iu sleep or repose. That must have
roine suddenly during sleep, or quittly
during repose. Thero had evidently
been a rude kind of inhumation, for
there were some large (Holies behind
and around the head. The skeleton
is that of a tall man, all hut perfect,
having no resemblance whatever to
that of the orang-outang or of any
monkey. The skull is elongated, very
convex superiorly, teeth all present iu
the upper jaw, and nil perfect in the
lower jaw as far as it was exposed.
The instruments found in the cavern
are in hone, in decr-horn, or in stone,
or in silex from the chalk formation
which exists in the neighborhood; those
in bone nnd horn arc arrows, pointed
instruments, needles, nnd implements
appnrenily destined to llatten the
threads of sewn skins. Among them
was one that appears to have been a
commander’s hatton or staff. The
stone nnd iilex instruments were found
by the thousand, if fragments and scales
are to he counted. The commonest
forms arc serajiors. They are roughly
worked and aj»i>ear to belong to the
oldest known stone period.—Scribe/s
for March.
FASHIONABLE SIGNS.
New York merchants hang up vari-
ious signs of waming'against advertis
ing drummers. They read curiously,
and one would think them a little dis
couraging. But they are in t. They
are only gentle hints:
“ No Peddlers, Bents, Solicitors, or
Shows allowed here.”
“Don’t want to advertise.”
“Solicitors sot wantxl here.”
“ Advertising solicitors not wanted."
“ We keep a dog.”
“ So do we.”
“ We don’t want to.”
“ Nor I.”
“ Don’t want any.”
“ No stock taken in nothing.”
“ Call on our advertising agent.”
“ Go to thunder.”
“ Come to-morrow."
“ Call over the way."
“Boss is out.”
“ Owner away and ain’t coming
hack.”
“ Advertising solicitors are request-
ed to rail any time after 0 r. M.
“ No use."
“ Sca-n-a-t."
“Travel.”
“Git.”
Etc., and infinitum. But each solic
itor considers himself an exception,
and the bold and persistent men will
often force a good trade.
JS* Masonry is peculiarly adapted
to meet a want in the desires of men
that no other organization can'supply.
Our life is j cculiar. We come upon
the stage of action and take our part
in the oin’est of humanity, and in the
struggles and diffieul ies that beset us
nil here. If wc combatted one against
the other, if there was a singleness of
purpose and individuality of action,
wlnit a turmoil nnd strife the world
would pre-cut. But that destiny that
controls our actions and harmonizes
our .lives has ordered it otherwise. Man
instinctively longs for association with
his brother man the ties of the heart

A sleigh, containing a young lady
and her servant, was upset near Bea
con street, yesterday afternoon. No
one was hurt, hut the fragments of
three Boston daily newspapers, a week
ly, and a new flour bag were found
scattered about after the accident.
Nobody ever stands in the horse cars
at Leavenworth, Kan. When a gen
tleman enters a car the nearest young
lady rises and offers her scat. She
then sits in his lap, and both are satis
fied.
“ Where was the fire?” inquired a
lady of her beau, who ruslipd out of

Gustavus, vigorously chewing cloves.

A bricklayer in New York died re
cently and left a fortune variously es

As “ dry up” and “ sinner down”
have become obsolete, a new slang
phrase has been coined, with which to
invoke silence. If you want to stop a
fellow from talking, just say’ to him,
“ Put an ox on your tongue.” This
new phrase is of Parisian origin, which
will insure it a wide popularity.
At a meeting of tta parish, a straight
faced and most examplanary deacon
submitted a report, in writing, of the
destitute widows and others who stood
in need of assistance from the parish.
“ Are you sure, deacon, that you have
embraced all the widows ?” He said
he believed he had.
An old Bachelor editor thus, in his

so late, and we saw them bite each
other several times.”
One of the importunate juveniles
who solicit pennies was asked:
“Where is your mother? She an
swered, diffidently: “ She is dead.”
“ Have you no father?” “Yes, sir;
but he is sick.” “What ails him?”
continued the questioner. *• He has
got a sore finger, sir.” Indeed!” “Yes,
sir.” “ Then, why don’t liecut it off ?”
“ Please, sir,” responded the little
maid, “ he liaint got any money to
buy a knife.”
1 Got any medicine ?" asked a. boy,

him?” asked the clerk. “ Dunno,”
replied the boy ; “ hut lie’s run down

all day and mopes, nnd he ain’t wnl-
loped mother since Christmas. I guess
he’s goiug.
The Evening Mail contains, under
the above head, an argument tending
to an affirmative answer to this ques
tion ; but it is founded more on poeti
cal imagination than on sober truth.
The writer says: “ Reasouing from
analogy, it is hardly possible that such
magnificent worlds ns are within tele
scope inspection, far surpassing our
own in magnitude add celestial beauty,
are solitary globes, destitute of living
forms organized for enjoying as much
as we," etc., and lie ends with the-
statement that the spectroscope has
demonstrated that the composition of
these worlds as to their metallic re
source is essentially like that of the
earth ; and he asks, finally, “ why not
in all other respects":”
The answer to this question is that
in all other respects the conditions re
quire! for organic life are exceedingly
comp’ev. One of them is a tempera
ture between 32° and i00° Fall., aiid
this c mdition prevails only on two of
t .c planets, the Earth and Mars; all
the others a! e two hot, aud their moons
aro too cold ; at least, it is probable
that the moons of Jupiter, Saturn,
and Uranus are as thoroughly cooled
off as our own moon, which is as total
ly unfit for the existence of organic
life as the top of our Himalayas. If
the spectroscope had not demonstrated
that the celestial bodies were com
pounded of the same elements as our
earth, wc might perhaps argue that,
for range of temperature might be re
quired for organic life, hut the revela
tions wh ch this admirable instrument
lias given exclude such a supposition ;
and ns, in connection with the tch sc >pe
and photond ter, it has also taught us
that a temperature of 1000° Fall., and
upward prevail* on all the planets ex
cept Mars, the idea that they are all
inhabited at the same, time, is fallacious.
We say at the tame time; the moon
may have been inhabited millions of
years ago, when the surface of the
earth was as red 1 ot as that of Jupiter
is now; and when by further cooling
during thousands of centuries our
earth will have become desolate, it
may be the turn for Jupiter and other
planet* to become the sane of the most
luxurious organic life.
A German saying is: “ Go!
works slowly, because He is eternal.”
No doubt the universe wns hot created
in a hurry ; planets have been revolv
ing around central suns for millions of
centuries, and according to unalterable
laws have their penals of preparation,
disturbance, evolution, organization,
then their period of full organic devel
opment, and finally of decay; it is al
ready, a priori, very unlikely that
these different periods of history should
exactly coincide, as the planets differ
individually and are placed in differ
ent conditions; the larger ones must
cool slower than the smaller and those
further from the sun faster than those
nearer to that orb. Each has its
own individuality, its own history, and
will go through the different periods of
its destiny • in its own time, a time so
long that our longest historical period
is comparatively a mere instant; while
ft sweeps in its course through spaces,
so large that all the empires ot our
earth are comparatively a mere hand
ful.—Scientific American.

ATHENS, AND ITS ENVIRONS.
Tim site selected by the old Athen
ians for their city was a fitting one for
the capital of a people keenly sensitive
to beauty, and destined to become the
leaders of the world in matters of taste,
especially in the important department
ot the Fine Arts. No where are there
more charming contrasts of mountain,
sea and plain—nowhere a more per
fect harmony of picturesque effect. The
sea js not a drearv waste of waters
without Ixnmds, but a smiling gulf
mirroring its mountain walls and wind
ing about embosomed isles, yet ever
broadening ns it recedes,and suggesting
the mighty flood beyond from which it
springs. The plain is not an illimita
ble expanse over which the weary eye
ranges in vain in quest of some resting
place, but is so small as to be embrac
ed iu its whole tontour in a single
view, while its separate feature—the
broad, dense belt of olives which marks
the bed of its principal stream—the
ancient Ccphissus—the vineyards, the
grain fields, and the sunny hillside pas
tures—arc made to produce a full im
pression. The mountains are not near
enough to lie obtrusive, much less op
pressive, neither are they so distant ns
to he indistinct, or to seem insignifi
cant. Seen through the clear air,
their naked summits are so shaqilv
defined and so individual in appear
ance as to seem almost like sculptured
forms chiseled out of the hard rock.
Northwest of the Acropolis, across a
narrow chasm, lies the low, rocky
height of the-Areopagus, accessible at
the southeast angle by a narrow flight
of sixteen rudely cut .-tops, which lead
to a small rcctangu'ac excavation on
the summit, which faces the Acropolis,
and is surrounded upon three sides by
a double tier of benches hewn out of
the rock. Here undoubtedly the most
venerable court of justice at Athens
had its seat and tried its cases in ojien
air. Here too, without doubt, stood
the great a|tostle when, with bold
spirit and weighty words, he dec'ar.’d
unto the men of Athens that God of
wham they declared their -ignorance;
who was not to be represented by gold
or silver or stone graven by art and
man’s device ; who dwelt not in tem
ples made with hands, nnd needed not
to be worshiped with men’s hands. In
no other place can one feel so sure that
he conies updh the very footsteps of the
apostle, and on no other spot can one
better appreciate his high gifts as an
orator or the noble devotion of his
whoule soul to the work of the Master
How poor in comparison with his life-
work appear the performances of the
greatest of* the Athenian thinkers or

An Illustrated Monthly Journal, universally admit

’ A representative and champion of American taste.
Not for Sale ill Book or News Stores
TUB ALDISE, while issued with all the regu
larity, has none of the teni|Kiyary or timely inter
est charac tori* till of ordinary periodical*. It is an
elegant miscellany of pure, light and graceful lit
erature: and a collection of picture*, the rarest
s(»ccitnensof artistic skill, in black and white. A1
though each aucceeding number afford* afresh
I leasure to it* friends, the real value and beauty
of TUB ALD1SE will be most appreciated after
it has been bound up at the cl se of the year.
While other publication* may elaiut superior
cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar
class, TUB AI DISK is a unique and original
conception—alone and unapproached-<ihsolutely
without competition in price and character. The
possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate
the quantity of fine paper and engraving* in any
other sha|>e or numlier of \’ohimes for ten times its
cost; and then, there are the chromos, besides.
MIT DliPtRlMOT.
Notwithstanding the increase in tho price of sub
scription last Fall, when TUB ALDISB assumed
its present noble proportion* and representative
character, the edition was more than tlnubled dur
ing the past year; proving that the American
public appreciate, and will support, a sincere ef
fort in the cause of Art. The puolishors, anxious
to justify the ready confidence thus demonstrated, |
have exerted themselves to the utmost to develop
and improve the work ; and tho pirns for the com
ing year, as unfolded by the monthly issues, will
astonish and delight even the most sanguine fri.tnd
of TUB ALDISB. The publishers are author
ized to announce designs from many of the most
eminent artists of America. In addition, TIIB
A1 Ail SB will roproddcc examples of the best for
eign masters, selected with a view to the highest
artistic success, and greatest general interest;
avoiding such a* have become familiar, through
photographs, or copies of any kind. Thcqusrterly
tinted plates, for 1»73, will reproduce four of John
iS. Davis’ inimitable child sketches, appropriate to
four seasons. These plates, appearing in the
**ues for January, April, July and October, would
be alone worth the price of a year’s subscription.
The popular feature of a copiously illustrated
Uhnfitmns” number will be continued. To pos
es* such a valuable epitome of the art world, at a
cost so trifling, will command the subscription* of
nds in every section of tho coim.ry : hut,
as the usefulness aud attractions of T1IE ALDISB
an be enhanced, in proportion to the nunicrirat
Increase of its supporters, the publishers propose
to make ‘‘assurance double sure,” by the following
unparalleled offer of
PREMIUM CHROMOS FOR 1S73.
!TEvery subscriber to TUB ALDISB, who pay*
in advance for the year 1873, will receive, without
additional charge, a pair of beautiful oil chromos,

jictures, entitled “The Village Belle,” and ‘‘Crois-
ng the Moor,”lare 14x20 inches—are printed from
25 different plate*, requiring 25 impressions and
tints to perfec t each jdeture. The same chromes
are sold for $30|»crpair in the art stores. A* it is
the determination of it* conductors to keep Tint
Aldi.ne out of the reach of competition it* every
department, the chromos will he found correspond
ingly ahead of any that can be offered by other r^e-
riadtcals. Every subscriber will teceive a certifi
