complete exclusion OF all reading Of more refined and
imaginative description-those more polished and eie-
CANT germs OF hterature-which imparf instruction,
while they give life and animation TO the social circle.
1t will be observed above that the undersigned pro-
pose To depart somewhat from the beaten track of
other would-be. well ssfL Editors, i'm the
Districts and, for that purpose have determined to de-
vote their time and talents, such they possess
oreiy to The amusement and instruction OF the farer
portion Ut creation. Why this object has been lii.
tie regarded by the conductors of the Press in 'thc
three cities is matter of surprise to every The
undersigned will attempt to form reason for this
neglect, les, prejudice might deem them unjust 10
others OF their profession. II is fact, that the ladies'
ofthe District of Columbia have ev,nced abundant lib
crafty IN their subscriptions to papers of this cbarsc
ter, published in the northern cities; circumstance
which shows that something Of this kind is wanting,
nearer home, to dspel ennu, and amuse the mind in
the hours OF rel. xa,ion from the engrossing
OF female life. Why shall not then, without yani
~, anticipate reasonable share of patronage from the
matrons and maids of our District I'm carrying into
execution our proposed plan, SHALL of course as
IN duty bound, endeavor to give universal satisfaction;
If VIC fail, must look for indulgence from those
who, We sure will be always willing to extend it
10 U.S. 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 hope to exhibit such iudg-
ment in these to satisfy fair readers that we
have their Improvement well rs their at
heart. we pledge ourselves that nothing will appear in
our pages which shall cause the mantng blush sul-
fuse the fair check of the delcatey modest. We
have liberal promises of assistance from several literary
ladies and gentlemen of high standing, moreover, anil
hope by their courtesy, to be able to present our
/ readers, occasionally, choice Original Tale and a
visit to the more ideal but less beautiful regions OF
pOesy.
! Of the usandandone' appeIla,ions peculia,Iv
suited TO publication like :he one here proposed we
have chosen ''Thc Kaleidoscope" as most in unison
with plan, which will be give, at every turn a
constant succession OF evervaying, but still beautiful
and pleasing forms and reflections AS faint sketch
OF the nature of our work, beg leave present the
following analysis, ga priori:"
Popular tales, essays, and sketches, original and Sc
iected;
Memoirs Of distinguished females in the various de-
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 refined cast; witty savings,
excellent thoughts, &c.;
Notices of the drama, criticisms popular perform
ers, Be-;
Original and we'll selected poetry in which the oil,
rty of the legitimate Muse alone will be cherished
In pohtcs-without having any thing TO say in favor
OF any party, we pledge ourselves to the unconditional
support of the Ladies' choice whenever fully and fairly
expressed;
And last, though not least, propose to admit no
advertisements such only excepted as relate to affairs
in which fair readers have an interest
