POE T RY.
MY NEW HoME.
BY MELEsNIA A. CATO.

This new home is very cheerful,
Husband, children, all are here;
But my eyes are sometimes fearful
fearful for old memories dear
These are not the same green woodlands,
Where SO oft my feet have strayed-
And miss the pleasant places,
In their dim and quiet shade.
And miss the gentle strcamlet
Murmuring through the sllken grass
And | hear no more the music,
Which it sang me rs 1t passed.
Faces strange, now gaze upon me
Voices cold, fall OH my ear,
No old friendly word of welcome
Comes from loved associates dear.
All seem kind enough, aud cheerful
But miss the warmth. the glow,
And the loving smile. and fearful
Which oft blest me. long ago.
Nought seems old. familiar, loving,
But the skies above me spread,
And the moon and stars ut evening
Watching DER my lonely head.
Upward l can look and view them. just the
same rs far away,
And my spirit oft rejoiceth for their loved
and kindly ray.
But hush these vain repinings for the home
nc'er may see,
Time may make me yet feel happy, in this
home so strange to me.

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

The illustrations of The Aldine have won
worldwide reputation, and in the art centres OF
Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood cuts
are examples of the highest perfection attain
ed. The common prejudice in favor of steel
plates " is rapidly yielding to a more educated
and discriminating taste which recognizes the ad-
vantages of superior artistic quality with greater
facility of production. The wood-cuts of The AL
dine possess all the deicacy and elaborate finish
Of The most costly steel plate, while they afford
better rendering Of the artists original.
TO fully realize the wonderful work which The
Aldne is doing for the cause of art culture IN
America it is only necessary TO consider the cost
to the people of any other decent representations
of the productions of great painters.
In addition to designs by the members Of the
National Academy, and other noted American ar
lists, The Aldine will reproduce examples of the
best foreign masters. selected with view to the
highest artistic success and greatest general inter
est. Thus the subscriber to The Aldine will, at
trifiing cost enjoy in his own home the pleasures
and refining influences Of true art
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by
Thos Moran and j. d. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain spe-
cial designs appropriate to the season, by our bost
artists, and will surpass in attraction any of its
predecessors.
