Not for Sale by Booh or News Siorei. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regulftrity, has none of the'temporary or tmely interest characteristic of ordinal periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany o? pure, light, andgraceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of jirtistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most apgghiateBAfter it has been boud up at the olose of the year.

These plates, appearing m the> issues for 'January, April, July, and October, would be alone worth the price of a year's subscription, The popular feature of a copiously illustrated "Christmas" number will be continued. The publishers propose to make "assurance double sure," by the following unparalled offer of . - , . r rv PREMIUM CHROMOS FOR 1873.
