portion OF creation Why this object has be en- so lii
tie regarded by the conductors of the Press in the
three ctes, IS matter of surprise every one The
undersigned will not attempt form reason for this
neglect, lest rejuice might deem them unjust to
others ct their profession II is fact. that the adies
OF the District of Columbia have evinced abundant lib
crafty IN their subscriptions papers of this charac
ter published IN the northern cities; circumstance
which shows that something of tins kind is wanting
nearer home to dIspe ennui, and amuse the mind in
the hours OF relaxation from the engrossing care
OF female life. why shall we not, then, without vapi
y, anticipate reasonable share of patronage from Me
ma'rons and maids of our DISTRICT In carrying in,o
execution our proposed plan, shall of course
IN duty bound, endeavor to give universal satisfaction.
1t we fail, we must look for indulgence from tbos,
who, we sure will be always willing to extend !,
to us, our fair patrons Our paper will be made I'm
principally of Selections from the most approved and
rehned literary publications of the present and bv.
gone days. and, while hope to exhibit such iuJa
ment in these as to satisfy fair readers that we
have their Improvement well their amuse ment At
heart we pledge ourselves that nothing will appear i'm
our pages which shall the manting blush To "a G.
fuse the fair cheek of the delcaeIy modest We
have liberal promises of assistance from several literary
ladies' and &c tlemen of high standing moreover and
hope by Their Courtesy, to be able to present to our
readers, occasionally choice Original Tale and a
VISIT to the more ideal but not less beautiful regions If
Poesy.
OF the "phousand and one" appeIations necuI;o,,,
suited to publication like :he one here proposed. We
have chosen "The kaleidoscope" as most in unison
with plan, which will be to give, at eyery turn
constant succession of eyer-yaryng, but still beautiful
and pleasing forms and reflections. As faint sketch
OF the nature of work, beg leave to tic
following analysis, ga prori:"
Popular tales essays and sketches original and Sc
lected;
Memoirs of distinguished females, in the various de.
partments of public and private life;
A journal of the fashions home and foreign in n n
their vast varieties:
Excerpts from the best authors;
Anecdotes, of the more refined cast; witty SAVINGS
excellent thoughts, &c:
Notices of the drama, criticisms on popular perform
srs, &c.;
Original and we'll selected poetry, in which the nh,
ry of the legitimate Muse alone will be cherished.
In politics without having any thing to say in favor
of any party pledge ourselves the unconditional
support OF the Ladies' choice, whenev fully and fairly
expressed;
And last, though not least, VIC propose to admit nm
advertisements such only excepted, relate TO affairs
in which our fair readers have an interest
