aud design to make the eighth volume still
more worthy the patronage of those who
| have so long sustained it. Without ma
king any very high prc,ensons. we shall
endeavor to offer sufficient inducements to
literary men in this region of country, to
| make our columns, IN part at least, the
medium of their communications 10 the
public, at the same time hat fostering
care will be extended to youthful and ma
| tive genius. If no more successful than
our predecessors, we shall be able, ms they
have been, to occupy reasonable propor-
ton of each number with original matter.
In making selection, we shall aim at
cu|ing the choicest pernass,nn flowers from
modern writers and standard works, as
well as pieces in prose of useful and en-
tertaining character. One point we wish
to have distinctly understood: Nothing OF
sectarian or controversial KIND will find
admittance so far as ordinary care can
guard against it. Each number shall con-
tain at least one story or tale, and IN this
department we shall generally have regard
to good practical moral, as well as excl.
sing incidents.

have no fears. There are paying subscrl'
bers enough to support it, and we have
