ART DEPARTMENT, 1874,

The Illustrations ofTHE ALDkNE have won
q Worldwide reputation, and IN the centres
Of Europe 1T is an admitted fact that its wood
cuts are examples of the highest perfection
ever attained. The common prejudice In fa-
yor Of "steel plates" Is rapidly Yielding to
more educated and discriminating taste which
recognizes the advantages Of superior artistic
quality with greater facility Of production.
The wyod-cuts of THE ALDlNE possess all
the deiicacy and elaborate finish OF the most
costly steel plate, while they AFFORD o better
rendering of the artists original. : y 4-'
TO fully realized the wonderful work which
THE ALDINE is doing for the cause Of art
culture IN America, It is only. necessary to
consider the cost to the people Of any other de-
cent representations Of the productions of
great painters.
IN addition to designs by the members of
the National Academy, and other noted Amer
amples of the best foreign masters, selected
with view to the highest artistic success and
greatest general interest. Thus the subscri-
bers to THE ALDINE will, at trihing cost,
enjoy in his own home the pleasures and re-
lining influences OF true art. .n.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be
by Thos. Moran and j. ID. Woodward.
| The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate TO the season, by,
our best artists, and will surpass in attrac-
tions any of its predecessors.

Temperance.

What an excellent thing is
temperance. Y We see the need
oft every day the young and
old visit the dram shop and
othey!plaees Of merriment, and
iptsmperapce every day. At
playing cards and other games
Of cheat they are always ready
to lend a helping hand. When
passing by those houses we may
often hear the bitter curses
from within, by which some
fancy themselves = insulted,
drink to excess, begin to quar-
!, then come to blows, which
sometimes results in the death
of one Of more Of the parties s
concerned What a .wretched
state, what an awful thing it
must be to be ushered into the
presence of the great Judge in
this wretched condition, without
any preparations for etesnity.
What . necessity d.ior temper
ance, We can scarcely look
into q book or paper fora mo
nent, without seeing an account
of some awful deed committed
by persons in a state of intoxi-
cation. We have seen the on
ly sou of a poor widow, in
whom she placed all her hopes
for future protection take to
drinking, contract disease, and
soon fill drunkard's grave.
He leaves his poor mother to
weep over the loss Of one of the
sons Of intemperance. We have
seen a husband leave his wife
and little ones at home, with
out morsel Of bread, for the
dramshop, drink to excess, reel,
and fall upon the street, and
there remain until he is able to
90 home, and when he arrives,
he abuses his VIE and chill |
dren, because they have not
prepared something for him to
eat when it was not in their
power to get it. We have seen
a sister beg Of her brother to
leave off drinking, and he re-
fused. We. have. seen that
brother broughtlow by sickness,
and when too late, we have
heard him beg of that sister to
pray for him, and at last that
brother has filled a drunkard's |
grave.

4 Mothers Christmas Present,
I9Afa sI5-IoR-
THE TWO BIBLES.

Eastern Virginia there lives a
family, consisting ofl father
mother and two children Ia son
and daughter, They are not
wealthy, yet they are very rich
mot wealthy in worldly goods
yet rich in grace. 1t is a
custom, which has long prevail
ed in this country, as well as in
Others, for parents to present
their children, on the morning
of the 25th of December, of
each year, with many pretty
things. The wealthy people
made their little ones very gay
by giving them torpedoes, fire.
crackers, Roman candles, sky
rockets, &c. but this mother
Thought that these things would
not profit her children, but
would rather tend to make them
worse children. Yet she wished
to make her children happy by
giving them a presenton Christ
mas morning. Still she wished
to give them something that
would make them better chill
dren-children of God. So, on
Christman-eye she purchased
two copies of the Word of God,
to present to her children
Eddie and Julia-on Christmas
morning. Early on the 25th
they were up to receive the
gifts. But the gifts were
not fine triaes to pass
away in a day; but a guide
Book to guide them to their
endless rest. They were lifted
up in heart, and loved their
mother better than ever for hay
ing given them so precious a
gift-one that would lead them
to God. Surely this was a val
liable present to Eddie and
a. present, the beauty of
which will not be lost when all
this earth shall fail-when the
brilliant sun shall cease to
and the pale-faced moon
shall be blotted out, and the
twinkling little Gas they appear
TO be) stars shall sparkle no
mOre-then the beauty of their
mothers present will out-shine
all these glittering orbs Of time,
and will stand forth the glory
Of the Kingdom of God. Ger
tainly this far excelled the gifts
of wealthy parents to their chill
dren. Besides the results
were so good. Eddie and Julie
both are now little Christians.
They are kind to their parents,
and always before retiring they
kneel and pray God to pardon
their sins, to bless their parents,
to confirm their hope they have
in Christ Jesus, and to strength
en- them in grace continually.
Thus they are preparing for a
land of rest, by the instructions
Of a mothers present, while
many others Of wealthy parent
age are hurrying themselves to
a pit of misery, and that too by
the help of the presents which
their parents gave them.
Some ofmy little readers may
not understand how they are
going to pit of misery by the
help of presents from their
wealthy parents. Well, you
see, their parents bought tor
pedoes, fire-crackers, &C., for
them, which put them in mis-
chief, and then they took the
downward road to ruin. Thus
many parents send their chill
.dren to ruin by trying to make
them "a man" instead of trying
to make them a Christian.
Now why not make childrens'
