EDITED Bx GEORGE p. NORRIS.

SfF periodical jonnal may be allowed to
~ have its climacteric periods, which test
its durability and strength, the Editor Of the
New York Mirror hatters himself that the Sc
we're ordeals Of time and probat inn, which his
miscellany has triumphantly wiihstood, may
be regarded as incOntest bic and unassuming
evidences OF its permanent success, the crate
tul reward at Opce Of his untir,n.. zeal and
the credhable fruits of the liberal patronage
Of an enlightened community.
The period al which this journal was COM
mencod was by no means proptious 10 its
success. The history Of all similar ATTEMPTS.
previously undertaken in this city, exhibited
an almost unvaried record Of rash enterprise
and mortlfying failure. Talent, humor, and
zeal mad In vain been exerted to redeem from
inevitable rum the numerous periodicals which
rapidly succeeded each other 10 one common
doom. Fronting by the errors of his predeces
sors, The Editor Of the Mirror endeavouled I'd
to deserve, though he might not command,
success. Enlstng talent Of the highest or.
der IN its behalf, he also aimed, and he be-
hsves not In vain, as rendering bis pages uni
vcrsa'ly agreeable aud interesting aud, once
embarked in the arduous enterprise, he de-
voted 70 1t all the energies and perseverance
OF which he was capable. Identifying his
reputation and fortunes with the result, he
has toIled night ar day, through the fright
est portion Of his existence, 10 attain success.
Inc event has been prosperous beyond bis
most ardent anticipatIons. The Mirror NAV
now claim literary reputation, and an ex-
tent OF circulation which few periodical Jour

eriions to maintain this enviabe distinction
