as not to interfere, in the sghtes, degree with their
proposed OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is the beginning, the |

Il viii be observed above, that the undersigned pro.
pose to depart somewhat from the beaten track Of
other wouldbc. as well as ssf, Editors in the
District, and, for that purpose have determined to de-
vote their time and talents, such they possess,
urely to the amusement and instruction OF the fare
portion of creation. Why this object has been SD liz.
tie regarded by the conductors of the Press i'm "the
three cities is matter of surprise to every The
undersigned will not attempt To form q for tha
neglect. lest prejudice might deem them unjus, tu
others of their profession. II is fact that the ladies
oihe District of Columbia have evnced abundant lib
crafty in their subscriptions TO papers of this charac
ter. published in the northern cities; n circumstance
which shows that Something of this kind is wanting,
nearer home, to tspel enrui and amuse the mind i'm
the hours OF relaxation from the engrossing cares
OF female life. Why shall not, then, without vani
~, anticipate reasonable share of patronage from the
marons and maids of District! In Carrying into
execution our proposed plan, shall, OF course,
IN duty bound endcavor to give universal satisfaction;
it We ial, we must look for indulgence from those.
who, we are sure, will be always willing to extend it
to us, our fas 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 hope to exhibit such judg-
ment IN these as to satisfy fair readers that VIC
have their improvement well their mt at
heart we pledge ourselves that nothing will appear in
our pages which shall cause the mantng blush TO su
fuse the fair cheek of the most delicateiy modest We
have liberal promises OF assistance from several literary
ladies and gentlemen OF high standing, moreover, and
hope by their courtesy, to be able tn present
readers, occasionally, a choice Original Tale, and
visit to the more ideal but not less beautiful regions OF
pocsy.
OF the "lhousanl .anlone" appellations peculiarlv
suited to publication like the here proposed We
have chosen "rhc Kaleidoscope" most in unison
with our plan, which will be to give, every turn n
constant succession of eyervaryng, but sill beautiful
and pleasing, forms and reflections. AS faint sketch
OF the nature of work, beg leave present the
following analysis, ga prior"
Popular tales, essays, and sketches original and
lected;
Memoirs of distinguished females, in the various dc.
partments of public and private life;
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, &c.;
Original and well selected poetry, in which the pu-
riNy OF the legitimate Muse alone VIII be cheriShed
In poltics-wthout having any thing to say in favor
OF any party, pledge ourselves to the unconditional
support ofthe Ladies' choice, whenever fully and fairly
Expresses
And last, though not least, we propose 10 admit no
advertisements, such only excepted, relate affairs
in which our fair readers have an interest.
