A WoMAN's LovE.-A couple were ar
ranging terms for a separation, to avoid
the scandal of a judicial divorce, and a
friend had been employed by the husband
TO negotiate the matter. The latest mis-
zion was in reference to valuable ring
given to the wife before marriage by the
husband. For this he would make a GER
tain much desired concession. The friend
made the demand. "What % said the
indignant wife, edo you venture to charge
yourself with such a mission to me? Can
you believe that l could tear myself
from gift which alone recalls me to the
days when my husband loved me? No ;
this ring is my only souvenir of happiness
forever departed IT'S all land here
she wept-" that possess of once fond
husband" The lady supplicated, grew
obstinate, grew desperate, threatened to
submit to a public divorce as lesser
evil than parting with the cherished ring,
and at last confessed that she had sold it
six months before.

LADY LAWYERS.

About the year 1776, Nicholas Lin sluet,
the celebrated Partisan lawyer and jour
nalist, was at the height of his fame. He
enjoyed great reputation for his skill in
getting up cases, and for surrounding
them with such dramatic accessories as
were likely to tell on the minds of excita-
ble French judges. One day, beautiful
lady, Madame de Buthane, came TO ask
his professional services in an action about
some land, which she wished to bring
against the Marshal Duke de Broglie,
great grandfather Of the present Minis
ter. Linguet had scarcely heard her to
an end, when he said;
"You are so lovely, madame, that
your face is worth speech in ITSELF
What I'll do is this ] will write you a
speech, and you shall learn it by heart
and then rehearse it to me. When you
deliver it in court you must be dressed in
light blue silk, the color most suited to
your style Of beauty; and ifyou speak as
/ shall direct you l defy any bench of
Frsnchmen to find for the defendant" !"
The event proved that Linguet knew
human nature and his own countrymen
we'll. Madam de Buthane turned out the
most apt of scholars. She learned her
speech thoroughly, and she delivered it
with all the grace of style and manner
that might have belonged to the most fin
ished actress. 1t lasted for seven hours,
and for seven hours she held the judges
enthralled.
Midway in the speech, and probably
with gallant care for the lady's fatigue,
they adjourned for dinner, but it was all
ready pretty evident which way the judg-
ment inclined. feasibility would seem
in1igenous to the De Broglie family
During the interval that the sitting was
suspended, the Marshal sought out Ling
uet in the Pleader's Hall, and shaking
his cane in his face, cried angrily;
Just make your client speak her own
words and not yours, Master Linguet, OF
it will be the worse for you-do you
hear ?"
Linguet bowed low, and replied witt
ready wit.
My lord, you have taught Frenchmer
never to fear their enemies, and l mean
10 remember the lesson"
The delicate piece of fattery, we need
scarcely say, more than counterbalancec
the unpalatable determination it con
veyed. For we hear of no unpleasant
consequences to Maitre Linguet, and W.
are told that the beautiful Madame dt
Buthane carried her point without a dis
senting voice. What will befall the lord
of creation when we have lady lawyers
as we'll as lady physicians

In indianapolis, the other day, three
and half year old child climbed thro'
an attic window and walked along the
edge of the roof, thirty-two feet from the
ground the whole length of the house,
and stood there unconcerned and enjoy
ing the prospect. She was seen by the
maid Of all work, who put her head out
of the window and pleasantly called {:
Come here, I've got something nice
for you" "All yite," cried the little
one, and she retraced her steps and disap-
peared through the attic window in safe
ty. That servant grip deserves lib

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

The illustrations of THE ALDINE have
won worldwide reputation, and in the art
centers of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood-cuts are examples of the highest per-
fection ever attained. The common pref judice
in favor of steel plates is rapidly yielding to a
more educated and discriminating taste which
recognizes the advantages of superior artistic
quality with greater facility of production
The wood-cuts of THE ALDINE possess all
the delicacy and elaborate finish of the most
costly steel-plate, while they afford a better
rendering of the artists original.
The popular feature of a copiously illus
trated Christmas number of THE ALDINE
will be continued.

PREMIUM FOR 1874.

Every subscriber to THE ALDINE who
pays in advance for the year 1874, will receive
a pair of chromos. The original pictures were
painted in oil for the publishers OF THE AL
DINE, by Thomas Moran, whose great Colo
RADIO picture was purchased by Congress for
en- EN- to eue represent The East and The West
One is a view in the White Mountains, New
Hampshire the other gives The Cliffs of Green
River, Wyoming Territory, The difference in
the nature of the scenes themselves is a pleas
ing contrast, and affords good display Of the
artists scope and coloring. The chremos are
each worked from thirty distinct plates, and
are in size (l2xl6) and appearance exact fac
SMILES of the originals. The presentation of
a worthy example of Americas greatest land
scape painter to the subscribers of THE All
DINE was bold but peculiarly happy idea,
and its successful realization is attested by a
testimonial over the signature of Mr.. Moran
himself.

however, to boast ofthe few they have received.

ed to the office, and it will be as faithfully
filled as if the selection had been made per-
sonally.
Full instructions, recently compiled, and
giving full Information upon every point in
detail, accompany each Machine and enable
the most inexperienced to operate without
difficulty.

Machines is not second to that of the purchas-
er, and we esteem it n privilege to aid, by cor
