EVERY cultivated American should
feel proud of such superb national
publication as The Aldine. The first
number for the new year, January,
1874, opens with such brilliant promise,
we shall be astonshed ut no achieve
ment which may be accomplished here
after. The press of the New World
agrees in pronouncing The Aldine the
finest organ of art and literature ever
issued; and the January number is
wonder of beauty and a marvel OF
literature. The first page illustrations
consist, first, of an exquisite tint q
snow scene, by Thomas Moran, OF New
Years Morning in England, with the
Pensioners saluting the pastor in front
of the porch of the church. The draw
ing of the trees is excellent, while the
snow effects are true to nature. the
second full page picture is grand ana
magnificent view Of Moore's Lake III
the Rocky Mountains of Utah, the
highest lake in America. This was
sketched on the spot by Thomas Mo-
ran. and as u rare view OF American
scenery is alone worth the price OF tne
magazine The third of these grea,t,
pictures is 1.-THE Irish Schoolmaster, "
after Nicol, by John S. Davis, very
clever and characteristic drawing OF u
race of pedagogues which once flourish
ed in Ireland. The fourth whole page
