A Representative and Champion of Ameiican Taste. Not for Sale in Hook or News Stores. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals.— It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of The Aldine will bo most ap preciated after it has boen bound up at the eloso of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, The Aldine is a unique and original conception—alone and unapproacued—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shupo, or number of volamea/br ten times its cost; and then, there are the chrumos, besides! ART ID :-PAKTMENT. Notwithstanding the increase in the price o* subscription last Fall, when 'The Aldine assumes its present noble proportions and representative character, the edition was more than doubled during the past 'year; proving that the Ameri can public appreciate, and will support a sin cere effort in the cause of Art. The publishers, anxiuus to justify the ready confidence |thus demonstrated, have exerted themselves to the utmost to develop aud improve the work j and the plans for the coming year, as unfolded by the monthly issues, will astonish and delight even the most sanguine friends of The Aldine. The publishers are authorized to announce de signs from many of the most ominent artists in America. In addition, The Aldine will reproduce ex amples of the best foreign masters, selected with a view to the highest artistic success, and great est general interest; avoiding such as have be come familiar, through photographs, or copies of any kind. The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873 will re produce four of John S. Davis’ inimitable child sketches, appropriate io the four seasons. These plates, appearing in the issues for January, April, July, and October, would be alone worth the price of a. year s subscription. The popular feature of a copiously illustrated “Christmas” number will be continued. To possess such a valuable epitome of the art world ut a cost so trifling, will command the subscriptions of thousands in every section of the country; but, as the usefulness and attrac tions of Die Aldine cau be enhanced, iu propor tion to The numerical increase of its supporters, the publishers propose to make “assurance doubly dure,’’ by tho following unparalleled offer of Premium Chromos for IH4 3. Every subscriber to The Aldine, who pays in nil vance for the year 1573, will receive, without addi tional charge, a pair of beautiful oil chromos, after J. J. Hill, tlie eminent English painter. The pic tures, entitled “The Village Belli',’’ and “Crossing the Moor,” are 14x20 Inches—are printed from 25 different plates, requiring 25 impressions and tints to perfect each picture. The same chromos are sold for |3O per pair In tlie art stores. As it is tlie determination of its conductors to keep The Aldine out of the reach of competition in every depart ment, the chromos will be found correspondingly ahead of any tiiat can lie offered by other periodi cals, Every subscriber w ill receive a certificate, over tlie sign iture of tlio publishers, guaranteeing that the chromos delivered shall be equal to the samples furnished the agent, or the money will he refunded. The distribution of plot urea of this grade, free to the subscribers to a five dollar periodical, will mark an epoch in thehlstory of Art; and,con sidering the unprecedented cheapness of the price for The Aldine itself, the marvel falls littie short of a miraclo, even to those l>est acquainted with the achievements of Inventive genius and Improved mechanical appliances. (For illustrations of these chromos, see N >vember issue of The Aldine. The liltcrary Department will continue under the care of Mr. Richard Hen rt Btoddarh. assisted by the best writers and poets of the day, who will strive to have the literature of The Aldine always In keeping with its artistic attractions.

Joe Harris was a whole souled merry fellow, and very fond of the glass. After living in New Orleans for several years, he came to the conclusion of visiting an old fond uncle,away up in Massachusetts, whom lie had not seen for many years.- Now, there is a difference between New Orleans and Massachusetts in regard to the U6e of ardent spirits, and when Joe arrived there and found all the people ruu mad about temperance, he felt bad, thinking with the song, that keeping the spirits up by pouring the spirits down, was one of the best ways to make time pass, and began to fear, indeed, that he was in a “pickle." But the morning after his arrival, the old man and his sons boiug out at work, his aunt came to him and said : “Joe, you have been living in the South, and, no doubt, are in the habit of taking a little driuk about 11 o’clock. Now, I keep some here for medical pur poses, but let no one know it, as my husband wants to set a good example for the boys." Joe promised, and thinking he would get no more that day, took, as he ex pressed it, a “buster.” After a while he walked out to the stable, and who should he meet but his uncle. “Well, Joe,” says he, “I expect you are accustomed to drinking something iu New Orleans. Y T ou will find us all temperate here, and for the sake of my sons, I don’t let them know I have any brandy about, but I just keep a little out here for my rheumatism. Will yon accept a little ?" Joe signified his readiness, and •' ook another big horn. Then continuing his walk he came to where the boys were hauling rails. After conversing a while, one of his cousins said : “Joe, I expect y< u would like to have a drink, and as the old folks are down on liquor, we keep some out here to help us along with our work ! Won’t you have some ?” Out came the bottle, and down Joe sat, and says by the time he was called to dinner lie was tight as a fellow could well be, and all from visiting a tempe rance family. Tvndall ox Puke Science. —“ There , are three great theories which enable the human mind to open the secrets of na ture — the theory of gravitation, the mechanical theory of heat, and the uo dulatory theory of light. These three pillars, as far as human intellect is con cerned, support the universe. To whom are we indebted for these discoveries ? To men who had no practical ends in view, and wlio eared only for the truth. To-day, when there are so many temp- ! taiions to young men to leave pure sci ence for practical aims, it behooves us to look with sympathetic eyes upon the investigator who makes all this know ledge possible. Give all honor to the men who apply discoveries, but do not forget the men who make them.” The New York Express reports a Methodist paper as having discussed the very great abuse of colleges in bo stowing so indiscriminately the degrees of D. D. and LL. D. It has given some statistics and revelations which show that it has become in many in stances a sort of barter, and that many men have had the unblushing impudence to ask for such honors after being so abused. There are two thousand D. D.'s in the United States and some two thou sand LL. D.’s. The Methodist paper says only oue hundred persons in the United States are qualified for the for mer, and only some twenty-fivo are really entitled to the latter. It is fair to presume that it does not cousidcr Dr. Ulysses S. Grant as oue of the twenty - five. — The hand which casts into the waters of life a stone of offense, knows not how far the circles thus caused may spread tbeir agitations. II #2 a year, in advance. The Tomb of Tmiiciliih. The following interesting article is taken from an exchange of a recent date: Anioug the famous sights of Smyrna which are seldom seen by casual visitors are the Tomb of Tantalus, on the oppo site side of the bay, and the Lake of Tantalus, in the chain of Sipylus. Ac cording to the classic historians, beside the rock-cut image of Cybelc, there was once here a city of Tantalus, which was destroyed by an earthquake. Since the eruption of Vesuvius the lake has been sensibly affected. This lake is reputed to be fathomless, although an English naval officer settled that point many years ago. This time of the year it is a place for picnics from the summer town of Bournabat, but now sight seers and tourists are proceeding thither be cause the two peaks abovo the lake are visibly sinking. Not only this, but two fissures have opened, from one of which warm water flows, and in the other are to be recognized the ruins of a fine city. On the other side of the city of Smyrna are the volcanic peaks of the Two Bro thers, and it is much to be feared, after the late disturbances of the district, that some fearful earthquake again awaits the city. lleavkn. Were there a country on earth uniting all that is beautiful in nature, all that is great in virtue, genius and the liberal arts, aud numbering among its citizens t’.e most illustrious patriots, poets, philosophers, philanthro pists of our age, how eagerly would we cross the ocean to visit it! And how immeasurably greater is the attraction of Heaven ! There live the great of all ages and climes; the friends, benefactors, deliverers, ornaments of their race; the patriach, prophet, and martyr; the true heroes of public, and still more private life ; the father, mother, husband, wife, child; who unrecorded by man have walked before God in the beauty of love and self-sacrificing virtue. There are all who have built up in our hearts the power of goodness and, truth, the writers from whose pages we have received the inspiration of pure and lofty sentiments, the friends whose .countenances have shed light through our dwellings, aud peace and strength through our hearts. There they are gathered together, safe from every storm, aud triumphaut over every evil; and they say to us: “Come and join us iu our everlasting blessed ness ; come and bear a part in our song of praise; share our adoratiou, friend ship, progress and works of love." An editor says his ancestors have been in the habit of living a hundred years. His oppouent responds by say-, ing that “that was before the introduc tion of capital punishment.” v- •-♦ A veteran observer says: “I never place reliance on a man who is telling what he would have done had he been there. I have noticed that somehow this kind of people never get there.” A cotemporary suggests that if there be anything in the Constitution which entitles a man to carry pistols in his pockets, and to fire them off when re venge, or passion, or his own idea of safety demands, th 0 proper way is to liceusc such men to carry artn, with a public advertisement thereof, in two or three journals, where such a battery resides, and that it, is ready to snap off at any time. A man thus related his experience in a financial way on the occasion of the failure of a local hank : “As soon as I heard of it my heart jumped right up into my mouth. ‘Now,’ thinks I s’pos iug I've got any bills on that bauk ! I’m gone if I have—that’s a fact!’ So I put on my coat and ‘put’ for home, just as fast, as my logs would carry me ; fact is, I ran all the way ; and when I got there I looked keerful, and found I hadn't any hills ou that band —nor any other / So I felt easier.” RULES FOR LEGAL ADVERTISING: Suits nf land, etc., by Administrators , Pin tutors, or liuardiuns urn required by late to be held tm the first Tuesday in the month, between the hours if ten in the forenoon and three in the qfthmum, at the court bov re in the county in which Ibe properly is situated.

The book to which reference is most frequently made uow-a days—the pock et book. If a toper aud a quart of whiskey wero left together which would bo drunk first? Why is a candle-maker the worst and most hopeless of men ? Because all his wicked works arc brought to light. Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common suffering is a far stronger link than com mon joy. The worthiest people arc more injured by slanders; as wo usually find that to be tho best fruit which the birds Lave been picking at. “Johnny’s got a bite" cried a member of a fishing party, u hereupon a little girl exclaimed, “And lie’s such a leetle boy, too ! Why, he only reads in the primer!” We make ourselves more injuries than arc offered to us ; they many times pass for wrongs, in our own thoughts, that were never meant so by the heart of him that speaketh. The greatest ot all injustice is that which goes under the name of law; aud of all sorts of tyranny, tho forcing let ter of tho law against tho equity, is the most insupportable. The Loud takos up none but the for saken, makes none healthy but the sick, gives sight to none but tho blind, makes none alive but the dead, sanctifies none but sinners, and gives wisdom to none but the foolish. *' God knows what is best for us, and doubtless secs that tests are as impor tant to His moral universe as a chemist’s analysis is to determine the philosophy of compounds, or a builder’s trials of the strength of materials. Not by quantity, but by quality will we be judged in the end. Therefore our greatest aim should be at purity of life and heart, and in getting as many as possible to join us in the work of saving themselves and the world. A pure heart is a sincere heart. It is true to its convictions. It honestly inquires after the right way, with a de termination to take it at all hazzards. It does not hold the truth iu unright, eousness. It practices what it belioves. Uncle L.—“ Now, Sammy, tell me, have you read the beautiful story of Joseph 7” Sam—“Oh, yes uncle.” Undo —“Well, then, what wrong did they do when they sold their brother ?” Sam— “ They sold him too cheap,uncle I think.” “Well farmer, you told us your place was a good place for hunting; now we have tramped it for three hours, aDd found uo game.” “Just so,” said the farmer, “as a general thing, the less game there is the more huntiug you have.” If we disobey the dictates of consci ence, even in the most trifling particular, or allow ourselves to do what wo havo some fears may not be quite right, we shall grow more and more sleepy, until the voice of concience has no longer tho power to awaken us. The Philadelphia North American having stated that “a big Indian of tho Arrapahoe persuasion had embraced Christianity is Washington,” the N. CL Times remarks that “a mighty small Indian could embrace all the Christian ity there is there now.” The Indianapolis Journal contains a startling' piece of information, to tho effect that in Philadelphia they hang any editor who says anything witty. But for the good name of the Quaker City, it adds that they haven’t hung an editor in Philadelphia for a thousand years. An elderly gentleman, returning home from church, began to extol the merits of the sermon to Jiis son. Said he, “Jack I have heard one of the most delightful sermons ever delivered before a Chi istian society; it :arried mo to the gates of heaven.” “ )Vhy didn’t you dodge in ?” replied Jack irreverently; “you will never get another such a chance.”
