THE ALIHNE, while Issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary or
timely interest churactoristic of ordinary per
iodicals. It is un elegant miscellany of pure,
light, and graceful literature: and a collec
tion of pictures, the rarest specimens of artis
tic skill, in black and white. Although each
succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure
to its I'ricuds, tlio real valuo and beauty of
THE ALDINE will bo most appreciated after
it has boon bound up at tho close of the venr.
While otlier publications may claim superior
cheapness, as compared with rivals of a simi
lar class, THE ALDINE is a unique and orig
inal conception alone and iinnpproached
absolutely without competition in price or
charaitcr. Tho possessor of a comploto vol
ume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine pa
per and engravings in anv other shape or'
number of volumes for ten tlmetittcmt ; and
then, there are the chromot, besidei I
ART DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding the Increase in tho price of
subscription Inst fall, when THE ALDINE
assumed its present noble proportions and
representative diaructor, the oditlon was
vwre than doubled during the past year; prov
ing that the American public appreciate, and
will suppoit, a sincere effort in the canso of
Art. Tlio publishers, anxious to Justify the
ready confidence thus demonstrated, have ex
erted themselves to tho utmost to develop and
improve the woik; and the plans for the com
ing year, as unfolded by the monthly issues,
will astonish and delight even the most sun-

In addition, THE ALDINE will reproduce

witu a view to me nigncsi annuo success,
aud greatest general interest: avoiding such
as nave tiecomo laminar, thro
Ugh photo-
graphs, or copies of any kind.
Tlio quarterly tinted plates, for

These plates, aiiuuiiiinir in the issiu

The popular feature of a copiously illnstra
tod "Christmas" number will be continued.
To nosness such a valuable euitome of tho
art world at o cost so trifling, will command
tlio subscriptions of thousands in every sec
tion of the country ; but, us tho usefulness and
attractions of THE ALDINE lean be en
hanced, in proportion to tlio numerical in
crease of Its Supporters, the publishers pro
pose to muko "assurance double dure" by the
following unparalleled offer of
PREMIUM CHROMOS FOR 1873.
Every subscriber to THE AtDINE, who
pays in advance for the vcar ltrRJ, will receive,
without additional charge, n pair of beautiful
chiomos, alter J. J. Hill, tho vinlnent En
glish painter. The pictures, entitled "The
Village Belle," nud "Crossing the Moor," are
14x20 iiithcs aie piiutcd from 25 different
plates, requiring 25 impressions and tints to
perfect each pictuie. The saino cluoinos are
sold for $30 nor pair in the art stoics. As it Is
tho determination of its conductors to keep
THE ALDINE onto!' tho reach of competition
in every department, tho chiomos will be
found correspondingly ahead of any that can
be offered by otlier periodicals, Every sub
scriber will roceive a ceitillcato, over the sig
nature of tho publishers, guaranteeing that
the chromos deliveied shall be equal to the
samples furnished the agent, or the money
will be refunded. The distribution of pic
tures of this grade, free to the subscribers to a
Ave dollar periodical, will mark an epoch in
tho history of Ait; and, considering the un
precedented cheapness of the price for THE
ALDIN E itself, tlio mai vol falls little short of
a mica, le, even to those best acquainted with
the achievements of inventive genius and im

PREACHING.
[From the Methodist Recorder.]
The preacher ia not a mere
performer, as if he stood upon
the stage before an audience, a .
pleaser of men. The mission
of the pulpit is entirely misun
derstood by some persons who
claim intelligence and culture.
They seem to hold that the
preacher is a sort of public en
tertainer, a furnisher of popular
sentiment, well worded and
tickingly put into itching ears.
Ilis merits are measured in
proportion ' to his ability to
"draw," just as an actor is mea
sured. He is heard in a pat
ronizing spirit by. people who
erect and furnish churches as
places where they must be com
plimented and amused. It has
come to pass that in these lat
ter days that a minister is
judged as to his efficiency and
soundness, by his ability to call
forth applause, rather than by
his power to lead trembling sin
kers to the foot of the cross,
oo many pulpits are but sickly
imitations of the state, pander
inlg to the tastes and passions
of the people. There are too
many more spectators of form
and style, and too few honest
hearers of God's word. This
state of things is the natural
consequence of conducting
churches by money, and using
ninisters as chess-men in play
ii g a game for social aggrand
izement and eclat.
Who can best fill our church ?
, Who can preach the most
Ot
beautiful sermons? these are
the feelers that are put out
after preachers at Conference,
sometimes, and more especially
from among the professedly re
fined and prominent congrega
tions. A minister is on the
aucfion-lilnf'k for a. fflWrlnvH
w " J
Levery year, for the highest bid
der; ana while tnus in the
market, he is subject to all
sorts of impertinent questions
and measurements. He must
be felt of, as a horse or hat ; he
must walk a bit for a speci-
men, pray a sample, give an
exact invoice of his family,
have his face pecked into by
sermon-scenters, submit to a
general turning inside out by
the too-often indelicate dele
gates from sundry districts,
and all this in answer to the
fundamentally mistaken notion
that preaching is a marketable
commodity, and that hearing
the Gospel is a matter of purses,
positions and convenience.
When the Methodist people
at large shall have learned that
the office of the ministry is ,
heaven-appointed, and that the
message of salvation is not to
bo received as a mere profes
sional performance, but as the
very word or. Lite to sinners,
free, earnest, and unchanging
through all the years, then
will preaching have its designed
effect. The business of the
pulpit is not to pander to popu
larity, not to compromise God
and mammon but "to reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all long
suffering and doctrine." In
stead of excusing moral cor
ruption, it assails sin in every
point and in every person, de
mands a full surrender of soul
and body to the Lord Jesus
Christ, and has not a hint of
indulgence in unhallowed pas
sion or distorted taste. And
when preaching degenerates to
anything less than this out-
and-out speech of soul to soul,
as in the love and fear of God,
and in view of the judgment
day, it fails of power and be
comes a very mockery of hu
man wants.

WATER OF THE SEA.
[From the London Lancet.]
Nearly the whole" sea is, four
times a day, subject to a change
in its level by the movements
of, its tides. The motion pro
duced by the winds and known
by, the name of waves is much
less regular. The wind, strik
ing the surface of the sea in an
oblique direction, pushes some
of the water on the surface over
that which is contiguous 'to it,
and thus raises it above the
common level until so much
water is accumulated that the
wind, is unable to-maintain it
in that position, and it falls
down. Each wave presents a
gently ascending surface to the
windward, and a particular de
scent leeward. The elevation
of the waves varies according'
to- the strength of the wind. A,
very heavy gale raises them
from six to eight feet above the
common level; but in very
strong gales they attain an ele
vation of thirty feet. This mo
tion of the surface of the sea is
not perceptible to a great depth.
In the strongest gales it is sup
posed not to extend beyond
seventy-two feet below the sur
face ; and at a depth of ninety
feet, the sea is perfectly still.
The form and even the size
of the waves vary according to
the depth and extent of the sea.
In shallow water where the
lower part of the waves ap
proaches the bottom and meets
with resistance, the waves are
abrupt and irregular, and this
is also the case in confined seas :
whilst on the open seas they
are wide and long, and rise and
fall with' great regularity.
When the waves run to a slow
shore, the slope of the ground
breaks their force and they ter
minate in a tranquil manner;
but when they are impelled
against an elevated rocky coast,
being repelled by the rock, they
produce what is called surf.
This evident rising of the sea
on a rocky coast sometimes at
tain an elevation of one hun
dred feet above the sea level.
This surf is always dangerous
to pass, except in boats of a
peculiar construction. The
waves do not subside simulta
neously with the wind. The
sea continues in an agitated
state for many hours. The air
being little agitated or none at
all is unable to depress the un
dulation of the sea, and there
fore the waves during a calm
after a gale rise higher and
their elevated part forms a
more accurate angle than dur
ing a gale. Such a state of sea
is called a hollow sea.
SLEEP AND HABIT.
[By Macnish.]
Sleep is much modified by
habit Thus, an old artillrey-
man often enjoys tranquil re
pose while the cannon are
thundering around him ; an en
gineer has been known to fall
asleep within a boiler, while
his fellows were beating it on
the outside with their ponder
ous hammers; and the repose
ot a miller is nowise micom
raoded by the noise of his mill.
Sound ceases to be a stimulus
to such men, and what would
have proved an inexpressible
annoyance to others is by them
altogether unheeded. It is
common for carriers to sleep on
horseback, . and coachmen on
their coaches. During the bat
tle of the Nile some boys were
so , exhausted that they fell
asleep on the deck, amid the
deafening thunder of that dread
ful engagement Nay, silence
itself may become a stimulus,
while sound ceases to be so.
Thus, a miller being very ill,
his' mill was stopped that he
might not be disturbed by its
noise ; but this, so far from in
ducing sleep, prevented it alto
gether, and it did not take
place until the mill was set
agoing again. ,For the same
reason the manager of some
vast ironworks, who sleptclose
to them; amid the incessant v
din of hammers, forges, and'
furnaces, would awake if. there
was any, cessation of the noise
during the night. To carry the
illustration still further, it has
been noticed that a person who
sleeps near a'church, the bell
of which was ringing, may hear
the sound during the whole of
his slumber, and be, neverthe
less, arousea by its sudden ces
sation. Here the sleep must
have been imperfect, otherwise.
he would have ; been insensible"
to the sound. The noise of Lo
bell was no stimulus;' it was its .
cessation which,, by breaking ,
the monotony, became ,B0j and .
caused the sleeper to awake.
THE DEATH OF A DISHONEST
MAN.
It is all over. He was buried
to-day. He did not live to be
old, and yet his life was not a
short one. He did a great deal
of business, and was widely
known. The flags hung at
half-mast, for his name had
been a good deal before the
public.
Yet nobody respected him.
He was not honest; and that
was the fatal drawback which
always kept him under. He
was shrewd enough and smart
enough, but he never had any
solid substantial prosperity, and
the sole reason was because he
had no inborn, abiding integrity.
Providence so orders things
that dishonesty thwarts the
most cunningly devised schemes
for making money. Were it
not so, thieves would become
rich ; but thieves never become
rich in the true sense of the
word. Their gains are uncer
tain, and their lives are thrift
less as well as unhappy.
Apart from all reference to a
future state of existence, there
is no better platform for this
world, no better basis to do
business upon, than that of the
Ten Commandments.
A FEARFUL DEATH.
[From the Chillicothe Post, Jan. 9.]
On Monday at noon Mr. P.
G. Griffin, of this city, went
over to Raysville, Vinton coun
ty, on the railroad, and on
stepping off the car met a man '
named John II. Hutchinson,
who had a contract with
Messrs. Gaynor and Griffin to
cut and deliver 3,000 cords of
wood at the Richland Furnace.
After a few minutes conversa
tion with Mr. Griffin, Hutchin
son started off in a southerly
direction, and had passed the
passenger platform and was
crossing the main track when
the Fast Line train come along
at a furious rate, the engine
striking Hutchinson in the side,
producing internal injuries
which caused instant death.
A Coroner's jury was subse
quently empanelled, and de
livered a verdict substantially
coinciding with the above. Mr.
Griffin says he did not hear
the approach of the train, and
supposes that Hutchinson was
also not aware of its approach.
He was engaged in fulfilling
the contract on lands about one
mile from Raysville, but his
family resides near Petrea, in
Jackson county. He was a
man of much experience in his
business, and- about 55 or 60
years old.
A society, has been estab
lished in Lexington, Ky., known
as the Ancient Order of United
Workmen, the principle of
which is to furnish a cheap and
easy method of insuring their
families against misfortune.
The society is .essentially be
nevolent. Its most remarkable
feature is that its members by
the payment of one dollar and
five cents become insured upon
their lives, for the benefit of
their families, to the amount of
two thousand dollars.

Iowa, says he does not want a

probably wants, to wrestle with"
