70 shin for the country trade, would do
we'll TO send them on board our clipper, as
she is up for every city in the U. States,
and all intermediate landings.
We reiterate to those fanatical pirates
who cruise under the black fiag-who op'
pose saverx because they are themselves
the slaves OF ignorance and suPerstltion,-
who pretend 10 rub clean the upper decks
of their neighbors with a holy stone-we
say look out for breakers
To Hotel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her comman-
der will be first to lead on the ooarders!
To the Heads of Families the trim ap-
pearance of our craft will be an object of
interest Most married folks have expe-
rienced the effects Of hght-spdTrang.
We shall endeavor to make those SNUG
qlers, the Bachelors, heave to-show them
the advantages q the proper "cOmpaaion-
,cay,'' recommending double state-room,
with births, fc' r,.;
We shall Send our boat aboard Iheatri-
Gals and other amusements; those pretty
nleasure-boats, which make our passage
over the lake oflike so delightful. Dane
ing we shall especially encourage; as we
conceive that the Safety OF vessel often
depends upon keeping both pumps going.
On first launching the "Picayune" we
promised to carry press Of sail in case
we were warranted by a sale from the
press. Through all the storms which have
ragged since she first sailed she has borne
Iup under full sales, without ever being
taken aback, and is now ranked A. l.
at all the insurance and other offices OF the
CITY. Our policy still holds good, and we
never intend it shall run out
Dropping our figure, and returning 10
plain language, we will now add that we IN
tend to make the Picayune a vehicle OF
fun, wit, humor and sentiment, and Ut
tie of every thing that's going on. 1t shall
be our delight to crack jokes, to tell stores
in our own way, to ridicule folly, and to cor
rect the manners of the age by exciting
laughter against them. In this, however,
we Shall endeavor to avoid that licentlous-
ness which vainly seeks to benefit the pub
| lie by wounding the feelings Of individuals.
A portion of our paper will be occupied
with comprehensive notices of all pass
ing events-giving the pith of the news OF
the day, without burdensome details.
We eschew partisan politics; yet we
shall continue to express our opinions I'M
partially on all public measures. tollles
in government as we'll as in social life are
open to ridicule; and when the humor
seizes US, we shall not spare them, on
whichever party the censure may fall.
All local occurrunces Of general interest
shall be promptly noticed, so that our dis
tant readers may see at glance the MIN
iature world which is congregated In the
emporium.
/; With this erpose of our intentions, ant
, determined to endeavor with unremlttlns
, industry to fulfil them, we look with con
! confidence for continuance OF that pa
tronage which has hitherto been so cor
daily extended to US.
The "Weekly Picayune" will be publish
