To my Tovvnsfolks ANar.

have much to say to you, my dear Towns.
folks "Afar," but the sad event of this week
forbids me, and 1 can only say now
A great and mighty institution has fallen!
And am undone-I am clean gone
Nv purposes are broken Off!
The institution of my people,
The tower whence cometh their strength,
Has suddenly come to naught,
And their substance is scattered.
NV people doth sit in sorrow,
For my poverty is at their door.
II entereth in at their windows;
II me eteth them in the streets:
1t clingeth to their garments;
II stareth them in the face.
Their own industry mocketh them;
Thei frugality laugheth to scorn.
They weep, and hunger doth cry;
And lamentation is in the land.
They that wasted their substance
Bid them cease and be quiet.
They that hath done this thing,
say to them look not unto us:
Look not unto us-look unto yourselves.
How be quiet when their children cry
Cry in their midst for bread.
How cease when hunger gnaws them;
When the lonely widows wall is heard,
And the orphans cling to each other,
For the strength that is taken from them.
How can they be quiet-how cease,
When their sick famish on their beds;
Their dead lie unbured i'm their homes,
Aud all because their substance is gone.
Oh, my people, how are you fallen,
by reason of this dire calamity!
Our enemies now laugh, and say aha.
They stand at the doors and at the corners
And in our distress shout out their tongues
And say we will now scatter them,
And trample them under our feet.
Will they again trample us in the dust?
Will they deal sorely with us?
Will they deal with us as heretofore?
so much gladness have they for our sorrow,
They have lighted bon-fires in their hearts
And kindled hardness in their souls.
Oh! my people, are we clean gone?
Is our substance gone from us forever?
Is there no hope for us in the future?
Though our enemies have sorely slain US,
May we not rise and go forth again
May we not be again altogether healed?
And our strength renewed as the eagles?
With our renewed strength, oh my people
May we not drive off the vultures
Who fatten upon our substance?
And break IN pieces our enemies
They who have sundered our institution
Which garnered our increase,
And added to our good name
As for me, oh! my people!
l was slain unawares.
am sOrely wounded!
am pierced with many sorrows!
l lay stretched upon the field.
How long, how long-oh how long!
When, oh when, shall 1 arise,
And grid again for the battle?
For the battle of my unhappy people.

ART DEPARTMENT., 1879.

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 ever attained. The common
prejudice in favor of ''steel Plates" is rapid
ly yielding to more educated and discrimin-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
of superior artistic quality with greater facii-
ty Of production. The wood-cuts of THE
ALDINE possess all the delicacy and elabor-
ate finish of the most costly steel plate,
while they afford better rendering of the
artists original.
To fully realize 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
descent representations of the productions of
great painters.
In addition to designs by the members of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, THE ALDINE will re-
produce examples of the best foreign
masters, selected with view to the highest
artistic success and greatest general interest.
Thus the subscriber to THE ALDINE will,
at trtling 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. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season, by
our best artists, and will surpass in attrac-
tons anV of its predecessors

Premium for 1921

Every subscriber to THE ALDINE for the
year 1874 will receive a pair of chromos.
The original pictures were painted in oil for
the publishers of THE ALDINE, by Thomas
Moran, whose great Colorado picture was
purchased by Congress for ten thousand dol
lars. The subjects were chosen to represent
1.-THE East" and 1.-THE West" One is a
view in The White Mountains, New Hamp-
shire the other gives The Cliffs of Green
River, Wyoming Territory. The difference
in the nature OF the scenes themselves is a
pleasing contrast, and affords good display
Of the artists scope and colOring. The
chromos are worked from thirty distinct
plates, and are in size az ICY and appear
ance exact fac-smiles of the originals. The
presentation OF worthy example of Ameri-
cas- greatest landscape painter to the SUBJ
scribers of THE ALDINE was a bold but
peculiarly happy idea, and its successful
realization is attested by the following testi-
mOnial, over the signature of MIR. Moran
himself

Getlemcn,-I am delighted with the proofs
| in color of your chromos. They are wonder
fully successful representations by mechani-
cal process of the original paintings.
Very respectfully,
(signcd,) TH0s. MORAN.
These chrOmos are in every sense Amer
| can. They are by an original American
process, with material of American manu-
facture, from designs of American scenery
by an American painter, and presented t.
subscribers to the first successful American
Art Journal. If no better because of all
this, they will certainly possess an interest
no foreign production can inspire, and
neither are they any the worse if by reason
| of peculiar facilities of production they cost
the publishers only tritie, uhiie equal IN
every respect to other chrOmos that are sold sngl.
for doutie the subscription price Of THE
ALDINE. Persons of taste will prize these
pictures for themselves for the price
they did or did not cost, and will appreciate
the enterprise that renders their distribution
possible.
If any subscriber should indicate 4 prefer
ence for figure subject, the publishers will
send Thoughts of IIome," a new and

betray the lOngings of his heart.

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary OF

pure, light and graceful literature; and col.

NOBODTS CHILD.
BY PHILO H. CHASE.

Alone in the drea-y, pitiless street,
With my torn old dress and bare cold feet,
All day I've wandered to and fro
Hungry and shivering, and no where to go,
The nights coming on in darkness and dread,
And the chill sleet beating on my bare head;
Oh why does the wind blow upon me so
wild?
Is it because I'm nobody's child?
just over the way there's a flood of light,
And warmth and beauty, and all things
bright
Beautiful children in robes so fair.
Are CarOling songs in rapture there,
l wonder If they, in their blissful glee,
Would pity poor little beggar like me,
Wandering alone in the mercIless street,
Naked and shivering, and nothing to eat?
Oh what shall L do when the night comes
down
In its terrible blackness all over the town? ?
Shall lay me down meath the angry sky,
On the cold, hard pavement alone to die ?
When the beautiful children their prayers
have said,
And mammas have tucked them mp safely
in bed,
No dear mother upon me smiled
Why is il, / wonder I'm nobody's child.
No father, no mother no sister, not one
In all the world loves me; cen the little
dogs run
When 1 wander too near them, It's won
drous to see
How everything shrinks from beggar like
me
Perhaps tbs dream but sometimes when
lie
Gazing far up in the dark blue sky,
Watching for hours some large, bright star,
L fancy the beautiful gates arc ajar.
And host of white-robed, nameless things
Come fluttering DER in gilded wings,
a hand that is strangely soft and fair
Caresses gently my tangled hair.
And voice like the carol of some wild bird
The sweetest voice that was ever heard
Calls me many a dear pet name,
Till my heart and spirit are all atlame.
And tells me of such unbounded love,
And bids me come to their home above:
And then, with such pitiful sad surprise,
They look at me with their SOFT sweet blue
eyes,
And it seems TO me, out of the dreary night,
They beckon me up to that world of light,
Away from the hunger and storm so wild
And then L know I'll be somebody's child.

tered, judging by the sudden silence
which followed the animaled talk My
coming was an interruption. 1 began to
sit upstairs. always walked alone.
Having avoided all society and all ac-
quaintanceship when my children were
young, that l might devote my whole time
to them, / found myself now friendless and

After two years they were married and

to me.
On the last day, after having some cold
tea out OF pitcher on the corner of man

dwelling, say
"Wel, the carpets are down, the furni-

[ THE END. ]

ONCE in while is told some story Of
heroism in child which ought to help the
professional cynic to little faith in his
kind. Not long ago young girl, lost in
the woods with her little brother, protected
him from the weather all through bitter
night at the cost of her own frozen limbs.
Some days ago three children, little girl
of six, her brother only four, and another
little boy six years old, went to pond in
Kentucky to skate. That day the ice had
besn cut from half the pond, and the six
year-old boy skated directly into the deep
water and sank. The three small creatures
were all alone there. The four-year-old
tried to rescue the poor child, but failed,
then the little. girl, with a presence of mind
a woman might be proud to own, walked
to the edge of the ice, waited untilthe boy
rose gasping, seized him, and drew him
out. What a glittering romance might be
built upon this true story of a child S
courage.
