THERMoMETRICAL.-A Western paper,
in lengthy article on local advertising,
relates the following: ~ man came
along here some time since, with a tAer-
mometer in a case, and proposed TO place
one in the postoAice, 50 folks cou,d see
how hot it was. As a special favor he
permitted a number OF business men
to put cards around the thermometer, by
paying the thermometer man certain
price in cash. Among the advertisers
were several who have ignored the
city newspapers as a means Of adyerts-
ing for long time. One Of them, who
had let tie newspapers alone, but had
accepted all outside propositions to spend
ten dollars in advertising, stopped the
editor the other day, and remarked that
he had just got the d-d-t stock Of goods
that ever was, and that lis prices were so
Dw that it almost made him almost sick
to think Of giving things away. lie said
he wanted nice local notice, setting
things up in big shape. The editor look
ed at the man moment, the tears trick
led down his cheel,-lor he has got cheek
and he said
III tell you what I'll do. I will write
you a splendid local notice, spreading it
on as thick as | know how, and you just
take it and stick 1t on that Thermometer
at tie posto6cc, where you do your ad-
yeriising.'"

INHABITANTS OF THE M0oN.--The
most powerful iec copes present the moon
50 far Off that only the larger objects can
be seen. But photograph here gives us
me assistance. Such a picture presents
all the minutest details, and these can be
magnifed by powerful microscope
The latter may magnify many millions Of
times. Now, placing minute section OF
such n moon photograph under such a
microscope, there appears no obstacle to
our penetrating all the mysteries Of the
moon, even down to the smallest rabbit
that may inhabit it, were it not for the
unfortunate fact that the smoothost sur
face known to science becomes so rough
under the microscope as to obliterate all
Photographic impressions there may be
on it. Nature must supply, or art be
able TO furnish, some surface that will re-
main smooth under the microscope, and
that material is the object now to be found.
A French scientist thinks he has obtained
it in the siik-like floss of the common
milkweed, reduced by a chemical solvent
to pulp. 1t has answered so far every
purpose, and a first copy taken by the
camera afforded undeniable proof that the
moon is inhabited by queer race, that
need neither air nor water to preserve life.
But owing to the fact that the photograph
was taken when the moon was full, the
Inhabitants presented an appearance like
that Of flies on q ceiling, SO that nothing
could be seen Of them but the crowns Of
their heads.

Is 1T TNsANITY?-In n rather heated
discussion, one evening lately, Of an in
sanity case, the alleged lunatic having
been placed in an asylum by his wife and
friends, a gentleman said to a lady who
did not believe that the unfortunate man
was insane:
" What do you say, madam, to lis ly-
ing down on his back in the barnyard,
and allowing hens to feed off his body?"
"All you can make OF that, " responded
the lady, "is that, like many other mar
ried men, he was hcn-peckcd -

TIE WAYS OF THE WoRLD.-A man
about forty years old, and a woman seem
ingly seventy years Of age were at De-
troit, waiting for train, when the man
strolled out on the dock and caught sight
Of one Of the city life preservers hanging
to its hook. lie asked what it was, and
a Ia borer told him, and then he asked !:
Glow long will it preserve feller's
lile?" The man told him a hundred
years, and the information staggered the
stranger. Walking around few min
utes, rs if meditatmg, he stepped to his
informant and said : See here, stranger,
I'll take one Of them preservers, and if
it wouldn't be askin' too much Of you,
I'D ike 10 have you tell the old woman
in there that you haven't another one for
sale, and that the machine which made
'em had busted"

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

The Illustrations Of THE ALDINE have
won a worldwide reputation, and in the art
ccnters of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood-cuts are examples of the highest per-
fection over attained. The common prejudice
in favor Of steel plates is rapidly yielding TO II
moro educated and discriminating taste which
recognizes the advantages of superior artistic
quality with greater laciiity Of production
The wood-cutS of THE ALDlN h possess all
the delicacy and elaborate inish Of he most
costly stecl-plate. while they afford better
rendering Of the artist, original.
The popular feature of a copiously illus
tratcd Christmas number Of The ALDINE

Success IN LIFE.-It should be re-
mcmbered that success in life IS to be re-
garded rs a means, and not as an end
and that, therefore, there is such n thing
possible as unsuccessful success-such
thing as gaining every end, while the
whole life has been a failure. For what
is success? Viewed in the light of an
other world-of that mcasureloss exist
encc compared with which this earthly
one Is but point-What is it, after all,
but a comparatively vulgar, paltry affair?
Is it anything for which a man should
crawl through the dust, degrade himself
in his OWE estimation, do violence to the
divine principle within him, or stoop to
the smallest dishonorable action? Is life
scrub-race, where, at every hazard,
though you have 10 blind the man on
your right and trip the one on your left,
you must struggle to come out ahead? Is
itnothing to have a conscience void Of
oilense, face that never turns pale at
the accuser's voice, bosom that never
throbs at the fear Of expos ure, a heart
that might be turned inside out and dis
cover no stain Of dishonor?

LITERARY.
The Aldine,
.Noi for sale In Book or .N+ps stores.

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals.
1t is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature, and a collection of pic
lures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in
black and white. Although each succeeding
the real value and beauty of The Aldine will
be most appreciated after it has been bound
up at the close of the year. While other pub
pared with rivals of u similar class, The Aldine

THE CONCERT AT CLINTON, on Friday
night last, by the young ladies of Central
Female Institute, was a success. The young
ladies, about one hundred and twenty-five
in number, appeared in neat calico dresses
of their own fancy as to pattern aud make
up, and all head-gear except natures Orna-
ment, was discarded. We were present at
the Institute when the young ladies formed
into line for their march to the College
Chapel, and felt like commencing them on
the good sense displayed in the dress re-
forms which they had instituted. The Con-
cert. as on all former occasions that we
have attended at Clinton, displayed not only
the progress of the young ladies in vocal
and instrumental music, but the superior
ability of Prof. Emil Menger as a teacher.
After the Concert there was a supper: and
Mr.. Hillman having graciously authorized
the young people eli the two Institutions at
Clinton to be sociable, the privilege was
duly enjoyed.
