number of out paper.
“Inquirer.*—Lawrence, Ka».—Sherman
ie 9 mile* from Deniion. By rail we are
four miles from Red River, but in a direct
line the nearest point is about two miles.
“X. Y- X.*—Austin, Tea.—There are at
pie seat twodaguenean artists in our city.
One Arm is just completing a two story
building on Skidd? street, and will occupy
the upper floor with the gallery.
“H. G.*—Satina, Kas. — Carpenter’s
wages are rather low. They a** usually
paid fa to $3 aj per day. Board • at the
hotels is $7 per week; at restaurants ftom
|4 to $6. Board and lodging can not be had
less than $6 per week.
•‘Jo."—St. Louis, Mo.—Farmers com-
mence plowing about the 1st of February,
some a little earlier. The Industrial plow
is quite popular in Northern Texas. Cattle
are not much used for this work.
“Jud.”—Ohio.—There is no hardship
coming to Texas now. You take a Pull-
man Palace car at St. Louis, and do not
change until you reach our city. ^ ou
make the entire trip in 33 hours.
“J. W.”—Iola, Kas.—There is a great
dnl of prairie land in Grayson and ad-
joining counties, with timber skirting
the numerous water courses. The water
at Denison is the best in the State. See
the News of Jan. 9th.
Mrs. “P. S.”—Austin, Texas.—We have
no school established here yet. There are
a good many children in Denison, and
the Town Company are about erecting a
suitable building. You might address
them on the subject.'
‘‘Davis’’—Little Rock, Ark.—You need
have no fears of coming to Denison for
want of good society. Our best citizens
have their familes here. We have church
services every Sabbath which are well at-
tended ; also a Sabbath school numbering
about 30 scholars.
“X”—Kalamazoo, Mich.—Yes, you can
get robbed in Denison very easily if you
manage it right—and it will be done with
as much expedition as in Washington
city. But if you keep out of bad company
and mind your oyrn business, and have
good common sense your pocket book will
be safe.
“S. R. E."—Greenville, Indiana—If
you will examine our prices current you
will get all the information you desire
under that head. Clerks in dry goods
stores are not in demand here. Address
Napier & Brown, of this city, for informa-
tion regarding the auction business.
“A. 2.”—Toledo, Ohio.—A school has
not been opened in the city yet, but a suit-
able building will soon be erected, and
competent teachers employed. The Town
Company have made amply provision for
this important matter.
“S. R. E.”—Greenville.—You can learn
the prices here of. most of the staple ar-
ticle by consulting our prices current.
Fat cattle are selling at $18 to $20 per
head. Pork is worth five cents per pound,
gross. Freight on cotton to St. Louis, 60
cents per Hundred. Any of our commis-
•ion merchants here will post you on the
ootton market. See their advertisements
in this paper.
“E. A. M."—Michigan—We have a
scope ot country in Texas included in a
radious of one hundred miles from Deni-
son to “support” us.' This country is
not strictly speaking a new one, but is
dotted with town* and villages, and has
been farmed for years, though there is
still an abundance of vacant lands of the
best quality and cheap.
“Union”—Jackson, Mich.—The rebels
won't hurt you, if you conduct yourself
like a gentleman. Men from the North
and South, East and West, rebels and
truly loyal, are to be found in our city;
but no one stops to enquire into a man’s
private opinions. Most of us have come
here to establish a business and make a
home—not to quarrel over past differences.
If your fears are your only objection to
toming here to invest your money, come
along, as they are groundless.
"J. H."—’Toledo, Ohio.—If you have a
comfortable home, and are making a good
living in your present business, we would
advise you to stay there. Money has not
been found growing on Texas bushes, yet.
This is a good coqptry, and offers superior
inducements to young men just starting
off in life; to the poor man looking for a
home, and to the capitalist seeking a good
investment. But if you are comfortably
situated now, what do you want to leave
for? especially if your wife is “so opposed
to moving.”
“J. M.”—Clarksville, Texas.—Residence
lots are 50 feet front by 150deep; business
lots 25 feet front by 125 feet deep. The
former can be purchased at from $50 to
$230 each. Business lots on Main street
have been sold as high as $1000. They
range from these figures down to $223,
according to locality. Main and Wood-
ward streets are 100 feet wide; Skiddy,
Owings, Gandy and Cedar each 80 feet;
all others 70 feet wide. It would be diffi-
cult for you to rent a dwelling house
at present, you better come prepared to
build.
“J. G."—Junction City—The soil of
Grayson county, in which Denison ia lo-
cated, is of superior quality. There are
two varieties, the black-waxy and black-
sandy ; corn, wheat, and cotton do exceed-
ingly well. It is also an excellent fruit
country—apples, pears, peaches, grapes,
etc., thriving lnxurently and fruiting
bonutifully. The soil within a radius of a
few miles of Denison is sandy—excellent
for gardening and the grape culture.
Lumber is plentiful—mostly oak.
Several communications are on file
to be answered next week.
il jajiMnMN
took no delight Id play whao a boy.
Am a man he was distinguished for
his unexampled and exalted goodneaa.
Confucius composed several books on
history, law, and moral philosophy,
which are highly venerated in China
to this day. It is remarkable that
tha “Golden Rule” is found in his
writings in very nearly the same lan-
guage it hat been handed down to us
in the New Testament. The follow-
ing are a few of the moral maxims
“the great master” taught to his de-
ciples an? thense to the people of the
empire:
To will, desire, love and hate, it it
necessary to know.
When you see any virtuous action
done be not slack to imitate it.
A child is in duty bound to serve
and obey his parents.
Labor to purify thy thoughts;
if thy thoughts are not ill, neither
will thy actions be so.
He who prosecutes a good man,
makes war against himself and all
mankind-
If you undertake an affair for an-
other, manage and follow it with the
same eagerness and fidelity as if it
were your own.
The wise man has an infinity
of pleasures; for virtue lias its delights
in the midst of the severities that
attend it.
It is not enough to know virtue, it
is necessary to love it; but it is not
sufficient to love it, it is necessary to
possess it.
Prefer poverty and banishment to
the most eminent offices of state,
when it is a bad man that offers them,
and would constrain thee to accept
them.
The truly wise man speaks but lit-
tle, he is little eloquent. I do not see
that eloquence can be of any great
use to him.
The secret to acquire true knowl-
edge is to cultivate and polish the
reason, and to gRt a knowledge of
things rather than words, by unceas-
ing preserverance.
It is impossible that he who knows
not how to govern and reform him-
self and his own family, can rightly
govern and reform a people.
Those who constanly consult their
appetites and palates, never do any-
thing worthy of their rank as men ;
they are rather brutes than rational
creatures.
Bewail not the dead with excess;
not to constrain thy grief is to forget
thyself. The wise man ought not to
be overcome with grief: in him it
is a weakness—it is a crime.
la die *ervk* of the State, he oogbt
to show the same fidelity which he
demandi of thoee who are under
him.
He muat act, in respect ofhiselder
brother, after the same manner he
would that his younger brother should
act towards himself.
He ought to behave himself to-
wards his friends as he desires his
friends should carry themselves to-
wards him.
The defects of parents ought not to
be imputed to their children. If a
father, by his crimes, render himself
unworthy of being promoted to honor,
the son shall be of an obscure birth,
his birth ought not to be his crime ;
he ought to be called to great employ-
ments, as well as the rich, if he has
the qualifications necessaiy.
He who in his studies wholly
applies himself to labor and exercise,
and neglects meditation, losses his
time, and he who only applies him-
self to meditation, and neglects expe-
rimental exercise, docs only wander
and lose himself. The first can never
know anything exactly ; his know!
1 always be intermixed with
edge will alwayi
doubts and obscurities; and the last
will only pursue shadows; and knowl-
edge will never be certain, it will
never be solid. Labor, but slight not
meditation: meditate, but slight not
labor.

“ OUR DARLING ’
The Queen ok Spain’s New
Dress.—From the Parisian fountain
of fashion a visiting costume has
been sent to the Queen of Spain,
consisting of a garnet silk trimmed
with jet. There are three pleatings
of the silk all around the bottom,
each one being edged with a narrow
ruffle, and falling over these is a
handsome jet fringe with long pend-
ants. As a finish to the upper one
there is a jet band placed above
about three fingers in width which
hangs in points. The tunic is made
bias like a fold, turning in under-
neath, and the back is made with
double box-pleats. The false piece
put on behind is cleverly disguised,
and the releve obtained in this way
is much more graceful and less cum-
bersome than when the jupe itself is
drawn up into folds. The corsage is
with a butterfly postillion behind
and turned over rolling collar lined
w ith salmon silk. Close around the
throat, cut like a standing linen col-
lar with revers, is a garnet one,
which is also lined with the salmon
silk ; inside of this there is a pleat-
ing of crcpc /isse.
Ccuse not thy endeavors to sup-
press and to expiate vice- Always
behave yourself w ith file same pre-
caution and discretion as you would
do if you were observed by ten eyes
and pointed at by so many hands.
The principal business of man is
to rectify his mind, that his passions
may be always calm ; and, if it hap-
pen that they be excited, he ought to
be moved no further than is necessary,
that he may regulate them according
to right reason.
Always remember that thou art a
man, that human nature is frail, and
that thou mayest easily fall. But if
happening to forget what thou art,
thou chancest to fall, be not discour-
aged ; remember that thou mayest
rise again.
Do unto another what you would
he should do unto you, and do not
unto another what you would not
should be done unto you. Thou only
needcst this law alone, it is the fou-
dation and principle of all the rest.
Afflict not thyself, because that
thou art not promoted to gradeur and
public dignities; rather grieve that
thou art not, perhaps, adorned witli
those virtues that might render thee
worthy of being advanced.
Punishments should not he too
common ; if the magistrates he good
men ; if none he advanced to the dig-
nity of the magistracy hut such per-
sons as are distinguished by their
honesty and exemplary life, everyone
would apply himself unto virtue, be-
cause that advancement being that
which all men naturally desire, every
one willing to possess it would en-
deavor to render himself worthy the
public approbation.
We ought to he so far mild and
courteous as to forget the offences of
others, when they show signs of sin-
cere repentance. We ought to treat
them as if they had been innocent,
and so far to forget their faults by
our carriage towards them as to make
those who have committed them, in
some measure forget them, and so
lose sight of that disgrace which can
only discourage the pursuit of virtue.
Riches and honors are good ; the
desire to possess them is natural to all
men; but, if these things agree not
with virtue, the wise man ought to
contemn, and generously to renounce
them. On the contrary, poverty and
ignomy are evils; man naturally
avoids them : if these evils attack the
wise man, it is right that he should
rid himself of them, but not by a
crime.
Pittsburgh has had a modern com-
edy of errors. A young wife sus-
pected her lord of too great an inti-
macy with the comely mullatto cook,
and one night when he acted suspi-
ciously, she watched him. Sending
the cook of!’, she covered her head
with a shawl and waited in the
kitchen for the confirmation of the
suspicion. Some one rapidly enter-
ed shortly after, and she felt an arm
around her waist and warm kisses
on her lips. She then threw off her
disguise to transfix the villain on the
spot, and instead of her husband,
she beheld the biggest, blackest ne-
gro in all the city. It was the cook’s
sable “particular,” and he had kissed
her. Oh! She no longer suspects
her husband.

A long experience is required to

imagined, that all men were sincere ;
that they always practised what
they said ; in a word, that their mouth
always agreed with their intentions:

other eye, I am convinced that I was
mistaken. At present I hear what

THE ALDINE,
An Illustrated Monthly Journal, univer
sally admitted to he the Handsom-
est Periodical in the World.
A Representative and
Champion of
American
Taste.
NOT FOR SALE IN BOOK OR NEWS
STORES.
The Aldine, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary or
timely interest characteristic of ordinary
periodicals. It has an elegant miscellany
of pure, light and graceful literature; and
a collection of pictures, the rarest speci-
mens of artistic 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 he
most appreciaed aftter it has been bound
up at tiie close of the year. While other
publications may claim superior cheap-
ness, as compared with rivals of a similar
class, The Aladinf. is a unique and origi-
nal conception—alone and unapproached
—absolutely without competition in price
or character. The possessor of a com-
plete volume cannot duplicate the quanti-
ty of fine paper and engravings in any
other shape or number of volumes for ten
times its cost; and then there are the chro-
mos, besides!
ART DEPARTMET.
Notwithstanding the increase in the
price of subscription last Fall, when Tub
Aldine assumed its present noble propor-
tions and representative character, the
edition was more than doubled during the
past year; proving that the American
public appreciate, and will support a sin-
cere effort in the cause of Art. The pub-
lishers, anxious to justify the ready confi-
dence thus demonstrated, have exerted to
to the utmost to develop and improve the
work; and the plans for the coining year,
ns unfolded by the monthly issues, will as-
tonish and delight even the most sanguine
friends of The Aldine.
The publishers are authorized to an-
nounce designs from many of the most
eminent artists of America.
In addition The Ai.dine will produce
examples of the best foreign masters, se-
lected with a view to the highest artistic
success, and greatest general interest:

This Plow, within the laat two rear*,
has established a reputation unequaled in
the history of Plows within the Counties of
Audrian, Munroe, Montgomery and Ralls,
and will, in the future, be manufactured
and sold to the Farmers of the West with
a full confidence of meeting the long
a full confidence or meeting the long-felt
need of a thorough practical Riding Plow,
and one that will enable the Farmer to
accomplish nearly double the work of the
ordinary Plow with the same team; with
it an old man, a boy or a cripple can do
at much as the strongest person.
NOT A GANG PLOW.
This is not what it termed a Gang
Plow, but is simply a large Plow with
riding attachment, and being so construc-
ted that all friction is entirely relieved
from the bottom and land-side, thereby
saving nearly one-half of the power re-
quired to draw the common plow. The
Plow is outside of the wheels. Both wheel*
run on the unplowed ground. The Plow
suspended by
is entirely suspended by a chain attached
to a spring. It turns corners without rais-
ing out of the ground. Fora two hors*
mochine we use a sixteen inch plow, which
runs as light at the same depth as a ten
)IO'
or twelve inch common plow. Where
three horses are use exclusively, we advise
the use of an eighteen inch plow, which
will do good work and turn an average
furrow of twenty inches, and plow from
four to five acres per day.
OUR RIDING ATTACHMENT.
To meet the demand of many Farmer*
who already have a supply of good Plows,
we furnish them the Riding attachment,
to which they can, in a few leinutes, at-
tach any common Plow, and we guaran-
tee them to plow at least one acre more
per day and ride than they can with the
same plow and team and walk. The at-
tachment is furnished at $53 00, and war-
ranted. Don’t fail to investigate this mat-
ter.
DIRECTIONS FOR USING.
The directions for setting up, starting
and using this I’low, with both two and
three horses, are printed and furnished
witli each Plow, so that any one who can
read ami has anv brains can never fail to
use it without the least trouble.
OCR TWO AND THREE HORSE
EVENER,
Is one of the novelties of the age. With
it three horses abreast are made to pull
equal without the usual annoyance 01
Fong Double-Trees, Links, Lap Rings,
Clevises, &c. It is perfectly adapted to
the common plow, and can he changed
for two horses in one minute’s time, being
a complete combination of both, and as
light as common double-tree. The atten-
tion of Dealers is particularly called to
this impliment, as the use of three horses
for plowing is becoming extensive. We
supply the trade by the dozen, on favor-
able terms. Retail Price, $3 00. Every
farmer wants it to use on his common
plow.
WARRANTY.
This Plow is warranted to work well,
with either two of three horses, and plow
from three to five acres per day and carry
the driver, as easily as the same team can
plow from two to three acres per day with
the best common hand-plow in use. And
should it fail to do so, return the Plow and
get your money. Every Plow sold within
the last year was sold under this warranty
and not one has been returned.

Everv subscriber to The Aldine, who
pays in advance lor the year 1873, will re-
ceive without additional charge a pair of
beautiful oil chromos, afters j. J. Hill, the
eminent English painter. The picture*,
entitled “The Village Belle,” and “Cross-
ing the Moor,” are 14x20 inches—are print-
ed from 25 different plates requiring 25
impressions and tints to perfect each pic-
ture. The same chromos are sold for $30
per pair in the art 6tores. As it is the de-
termination of its conductors to keep The
Aldine out of the reach of competition in
everv department the chromos, will be
found correspondingly ahead of anv that
can be offered by other periodicals. Ever/
subscriber will receive a certificate, over
the signature of the publishers, guaran-
teeing that the chromos delivered shall be
equal to the samples furnished the agents,
or the money will be refunded. The dis-
tribution ot pictures of this grade,
free to the subscribers of a five dollar peri-
odical, will mark an epoch in the history
of Art; and, considering the unprecedent-
ed cheapness of the price for The Aldine
itself, the marvel falls little short of a mir-

SCIENCE OF HEALTH.
VOL. 2, COMMENCING JAN. 1873.
I
The Science of Health having been sus-
tained beyond our most sanguine expecta-
tions, we are prepared with additional
facilities for making the ensuing volume
respond still more fully to the popular de-
mand for an honest and independent ex-
ponent of the Hygienic System.
Wc shall publish
Popular Physiology, fully illustrated, a
complete examination of the structures
and functions of the human system.
Affections of the Eye and Ear, with
hundreds of illustrations, embracing the
whole range of medical and surgical dis-
eases of these organs.
All Medical Systems, giving a history
of all the medical theories that have pre-
vailed in all ages of the world.
Domestic Economy, Household Affairs,
Hygienic Cookery, the selection ami pre-
servation of Food, See.
The Economy of Health. Only those
who have investigated the subject can he
aware of the enormous waste caused by
sickness and unhygienic living. By adopt-
ing the hygienic system, the people of the
United States would save annually more
than one thousand millions of dollars.
Does this statement seem extravagant?
.Statistics more than justify it, as we shall
prove.
The Labor Problem. Correct habits of
living will insure the laborer Health and
Strength, enable him to save from his ear-
nings, and become pecuniarily indepen-
dent.
Health is happiness. Above all mone-
tary considerations, however, is that of a
sound mind in a sound body. Health re-
form is the base of all reform.
Terms, $2 a year in advance; single
numbers 20cents; ten copies, $15, and an
extra copy to agent. A new volume be-
gins with the January nember.
