middle, and tho end-''thc order of the day,S-to the
complete exclusion of all reading of a more refined and
imaginative descrpuon-those more polished and Gle
giant germs of literature-which inpart instruction.
while they give life and animation to the social circle.
IL viii be observed above, that the undersigned pro-
pose to depart somewhat from the beaten track of
other would be. as well rs succe ss!Il, Editors. in the
districts and, tor that purpose, have determined TO de-
vote Their time and talents, such as they possess, en-

portion OF creation. Why this object has been so If
tie regarded by the conductors of the Press in ulbc
Uvee cnies, IS a matter of surprise to every one. The
undersigned Will not attempt To form a reason for this
neglec', Test prejudice might deem them unjus, to
others OF their profession. II is a fact, that the ladies'
OF the District Of Columbia have eyInced abundant lib.

which shows that something of this kind is wanting.

tue hours OF relaxation from the more engrossing cares
OF 'emae ME why shall we not, then, without vani
ty, anticipate a reasonable share of patronage from the
ma,rons and maids of our District In carrying into
execution our proposed plan, we shall, of course, as
IN duty bound, endeavor to give universal satisfaction;
II we fail, we must look for indulgence from those,
who, We are sure, will be always willing to extend it
to US, our fair patrons. Our paper will be made up
Principally OF Selections from the most approved and
refined literary publications OF the present and by
gone days; and, while we hope TO exhibit such iudg-
ment IN 'hcse as to satisfy our fair readers that we
nave their Improvement as we'll as their amusement at
heart, we pledge ourselves that nothing will appear i'm
our pages which shall cause the manting blush to suf-
fuse the fair cheek of the most delicately modest. We
nave liberal promises OF assistance from Sc yeral lterarv
ladies' and gentlemen of high standing, moreover, and
nope by their courtesy, to be able TO present to our
readers, occasionally, a choice Original Tale, and n
visit tn the moro ideal but not less beautiful regions of
Pocsy.
OF the "thousanl- and-one'' appcllations peculiarly
suited toa publication like the one here proposed, we
have chosen "Ihc Kaleidoscope" as most in unison
with our plan, which VIII be 10 give. at every turn, a
constant succession Of ever-varyinC, but still beautiful
and pleasing, forms and rehe ctions, As a faint sketcI,
OF The nature OF our work, We beg leave to present the
following analysis, Ga priori:"
Popular tales, essays, and sketches, original and Sc
lccted;
Memoirs of distinguished females, in the various de-
partments OF public and private life;
n journal of the fashions, home and foreign. in all
their vast varieties;
Excerpts, from the best authors;
Anecdotes, of the more refined cast; witty sayings,
excellent thoughts, &c;
Notices of the drama, criticisms on popular perform
ers, Sci
Original and well selected poetry, in which the pu.
rlty OF the legitimate Muse alone will be cherished;
In p~olitics-without having any thing to say in favor
of any party, we pledge ourselves TO the unconditional
support fthe Ladies' choice, whenever fully and fairly
And last, though not least, we propose to admit no
advertisements, such only excepted, as relate to affairs
IN which our fair readers have an interest.
