Cure for Colds.

One Of our exchanges states that
the most popular remedy for the prevail
ing and distressing colds of the season,
is a mixture of equal quantities of glyce-
rine and whiskcy. 4 teaspoonful is a
dose, to be taken at discretion 1t has
a very soothing effect upon the throat
aud, moreover, is pleasant to take. The
difficulty which we see in the prescrip-
ton is the tendency to give old topers

cold all the time.

FORCE OF FIMAGINATIoN.--An esteemed
friend of ours heard much of the medical
properties of the water of a certain spring
some distance from where she resided.
She had read pamphlet that enumerated
many diseases for which it was a specific,
among which she recognized at least half
a dozen with which she was afflicted.
Much to her JOY she was told that her son
had call at the very town where the
spring was located, and a five gallon keg
and strict Injunction were laid upon him
to bring back some of the water.
The keg was put into the wagon and
slipping under the seat was quite over
looked. The business was urgent and
took some time to perform, and the water
was quite forgotten. He had got near
home in the evening when, feeling down
under the seat for something, he felt the
keg. To go back was not to be thought
of, and to admit his stupidity was impos-
sihle.
He therefore drew bis horse up by the
wall near which the family had drank for
a century, and filing the keg went home.
The first question was
"Did you get the water ?"
eyes" said he, "but | can't see any
difference in it from any other water"
and he brought in the keg.
A cup was handed the invalid, who
drank with infinite relish and said she
was surprised at her sons not seeing any
difference. There was undoubtedly a
medical taste about it, and it did not fill
her up as other water did, which she al
ways had heard Of mineral water.
Her son hoped it would do her good,
and by the time the keg was exhausted
she was ready to give certificate of the
water, it having relieved her of all her
ails.

PREMIUM FOR 1874.

Every subscriber to THE ALDINE who
pays in advance for the year 1874, will receive
painted in oil for the publishers of THE AL
DINE, by Thomas Moran, whose great Colo
RADIO picture was purchased by Congress for
ten thousand dollars The subjects were chos-
en- to represent Tho East =" and The West"
One is a view in the White Mountains, Now
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 tho
artists scope and coloring. The chremos are
each worked from thirty distinct plates, and
are in size (l2Xld) and appearance exact fac
Smiles of the originals. The presentation of
worthy example of Americas greatest land
scape painter to the subscribers of THE AL
DIN 10 was bold but peculiarly happy idea,
and its successful realization is attested by u
testimonial over the signature Of Mr.. Moran
himself.

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

The illustrations of THE ALDINE have
won worldwide reputation, and in the art
conters of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood-cuts are examples of the highest per-
fection ever attained. The common prejudice
in favor Of steel plates is rapidly yielding to a
moro educated and discriminating taste which
recognizes the advantages of superior artistic
quality with greater facility of productions
The wood-cuts of THE ALDINE possess all
the delicacy and elaborate finish of the most
costly stoel-pate, 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.

SPoTLEss ERMINE-Jndge Sewall, Of
Massachusetts, who died in 1850, was
noted for his absolute incorruptibility
His word was sacred, and his judgments
were above question. In youth and in
manhood he was pure and good, doing
right always. 1t is related of him that
shortly after he was elevated to the bench
he went into ha.ter's shop for the pur-
pose of purchasing second hand brushes.
His motive was not parsimonious one.
These old brushes were worn soft and
pliable, just the quality be sought.
Can you spare these ?" asked tho
judge, when he had selected pair.
With pleasure" was the answer.
" What is your price ?"
eff they will suit your purpose" said
the halter, "you are welcome to them. /
couldn't think Of charging your honor
anything for such trife."
The judge, upon receiving this an
nouncement, laid the brushes down, and
with bow turned to leave.
" Hold, your honor. Have you forgot
ten your errand, or are the brushes not
to your taste ?'
1.-The brushes are just what / want"
replied Sewall, "and if you please to set
a fair price upon them am ready to pur-
chase. 1t may seem needless precaution
to you, but it answers my own conviction
and | cannot depart from the law. Since
it has fallen to my lot to occupy seat
upon the judicial bench, l have studiously
avoided receiving a gift in this manner to
the value of a penny, lest at some future
period. it might hold an influence in de-
termining my judgment"
