LITERARY CHARACTER. In future the
MIRROR shall assume higher, more various and
interesting character. New sources Of sterling o.
yiginM .datter ore opened to US, comprehendng
as well the productions Of several able Foreign
C. RESP ,ndents, as additional Natipe duthors,
well known az among the successful supporters OF
our literature, and we annually gaining, besides
those hitherto within our power, other invaluable
facilities for providing the most Choice Selections
from popular journals abroad. We feel more en-
boldened to claim the continuance and extension Of
the support which our countrymen have already be-
slowed, from conviction that, as it has increas
cd each successive volume Of the Mirror has in pro-
s,sA
sn,provemenL In the Eieuenh Voiume we
pledge ourselves that this Improvement shall be yet
more perceptbe and satisfactory, that other agree
able writers, as they come within reach, shall
be added TO our present correspondents, that our
columns shall be strengthened, varied and enriched
with materials which publishers throughout this
country and in Great Britain are extending towards
US. There is no arrogance in our hope that we
have at length, after years of TOLL not free from de-
spondency, and of heavy pecuniary outlays, for
which we are only at this advanced period beconl-
ing adequately indemniied, taken root permanent
ly in our native soil, and become in some measure,
identified with our native periodical literature. E.
ven unjust criticism will improve without injuring
ms, and unfair competition only ihpei us TO more
interchangeable perseverance. We rely on the dis
cerninent Of the country for the success of our
claims, and no longer fear the possibility of being
undersoid by words which can only afford to be
cheaper because they are inferior. We presen,
the Mirror to the reading portion Of the United
States, as periodical established, in which may
be reflected the thousand light and shifting image.
Of the passing world; to which the spirited and in
telgent writers rapidly multiplying and developing
their talents around us, may bring the eflusons o
their mediative, lively and inspIed moments
We shall strive to render it an instructive amusing
and valued family journal, guarded from every
tainted thought careless allusion, which the
young and the old Of both sexes may safely perus,
with rational enjoyment-which shall be usefu
without being dull, and gay without being HiPpant
In the eleventh volume the paper will be so nucl
eniar e. as to admit an eniife page Of add,t
ioaai mailer, but it will sufficiently adhere to tn
former size for the purpose Of being bound in cor
