To Hotel keepers we recommend our paNo'

To the Heads Of Families the trim anna.
ance Of our craft will be an object of iISIes~rsP
Most married folks have experienced The y

We shall endeavor to make those smusolo..
the Bachelors, heave to-show them the S SS

mending double state-room, with births ~
We shall send our boat aboard Theatrical.
and other amusements; those pretty plesspra
boats, which make our passage over tho laLo

sailed she has borne up under full salsc ,.;,S S'
out ever being taken aback, and is now rans
ed A. /. at all the insurance and other otT;cos
of the city. Our policy still holds good onJ
we never intend it shall run out.
Dropping our figure, and returning 70 n,o;u
language, we will now add that we in tend f.
make the Picayune vehicle of fun, wit, bu.
NOR and sentiment, and little Of every tbinG
that's goingon. 1t shall be our delight to cracs
jokes, to tell stories in our own way, to ridicule
folly, and to correct the manners of the ooe
by exciting laughter against them. In this,
however, we shall endeavor to avoid that Gcen:
tiousness which vainly seeks to benefit the pDh
lie by wounding the feelings Of individuals.
A portion Of our paper will be occupied with
comprehensive notices Of all passing events
giving the pith ofthe news of the day, with.
out burdensome details.
We eschew partisan politics; yet we shall
continue to express our opinions impartally
ment as we'll as in social life are open 10 rid.
icue; and when the humor seizes us, we shall
not spare them, on whichever party the cen.
sure may fall.
All local occurrunces of general interest
shall be promptly noticed, so that our distant
readers may see at a glance the miniature
world which is congregated in the emporium
With this erpose Of Our intentions, and de.
termined to endeayor with unremittihg indus.
Try to fulfil them, we look with confidence for
a continuance of that patronage which has
hitherto been SO cordially extended to us.
The "Weekly Picayune" will be published
every Monday morning, at SIS 90 per annum,
payable in oil cases in advances; and will con.
tain four additional columns, embracing all
the news Of the week, with whatever Of in.
terest transpires on Sunday.
Those persons at a distance who will pro.
cure four subscribers, and send US $50 bill,
shall be entitled to one copy gratis.
