THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regu-
larity, has none of the temporary or timely In.

Is an elegant miscellany OF pure, light, ana
graceful literature, and collection of pictures,

anything better-indeed the success of THE All

varied taste, q publisher can choose MS patrons,
and his paper is rather indicative of his own than
/. of this taste of the conntry. As guarantee OF
the excellence of this department, the publishers
