The ALDINE.-Th1s beautiful pictorial
maintains its reputation as being the fin
est periodical published in America. At
the commencement of the year it was
scarcely thought possible that the pub
fishers would be able to keep up the high
standard With which they started, but
the artistic world has been agreeablv sur
prised as each successive number is fully
equal-in illustration, Typography and
literary contents-lf not superior, in
many numbers, to those first issued The
one before us is extremely rich in illus
trations, containing no less than eight
large wood-cuts, three of which are full
page ones The principal, ''Renard Out
witted," by Decker; death of Wallen-
stein,' by Billner; 1.-THE Picture-Gal-
lery,'' by Becker; Dogs attacking an
Otter,' by Beckmann; and "Othello
and Desdem na," by Hoffman, are real
iy beautiful, and are executed in that
careful and delicate manner which is a
speciality with this publication. The lit
erary matter is fully up to the standard,
and of varied and interesting nature.
As each number is laid away, and the
size Of the volume, at the end Of the
year, becomes apparent, we begin to re-
alize the handsome pictorial it will make,
and to wonder, as, indeed, every subscrib-
er must do, how it is possible for the
publishers to issue such work at So, so
year. The proprietors are James SUIT
ton & Co., % Liberty Street, New 7 ork
A BEAUTIFUL picture is the full page
illustration in this weeks issue of the
Illustrated Christian Weekly, entitled
Mature Looking glass" A little bare
foot girl stands on the brink of stream,
overshadowed by woods, gazing into its
depths. ''Life in the Coal Mines" is IL
lustrated with four engravings. Unwind
and Water we have picturesque Hud-
son river scene. Specimen of the work
done inside is an effective temperance
lesson. We wish the American Tract
Society success In their noble work of
placing healthy and cheap illustrated
weekly in the hands of our people. The
news-dealers have it for sale.
