TirL ALDINE,
An Illustralod II on I lily Journal, universally admitted to
be Ike Handsomest. Periodical in Ike World. 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.
TERMS—SS per annum, in advance, with Chromos free.
The Aldine will, hereafter, be obtainable only by
subscription. There will be no reduced or club
rate; cash for subscriptions must be sent to the
publishers direct, or handed to the local agent,
vrithout responsibility to the publishers, except in
cases where tho certificate is given, bearing the
facsimile signature of .James Button A Cos.

“SALUB POPULI SXTP’PIEIVr-A LEX EBTO.”
TEMPERANC E JOKE.
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 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.”

we be judged in the end. Therefore our
greatest aim should be at purity of life

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,
