THE EVERGREEN;

A monthly Magazine of Neo and Popular Tales,
Poetry and Engraoings.
INHE characteristic feature Of this work is sig
~ nifed and portrayed in its title. The month
ly wreath we intend offering to our readers shall be
literally composed OF Evergreens" Our design
is to collect into shape at once neat and suitable
for preservation, the best and most interesting spe
cimens of periodical and fugitive literature Of the
day to carefully separate the chaf from the wheat
pendulum, which, like good wine, shall he heighten-
ed in value by age, and be, in the language of our
motto, perennial and fragrant"
Of course il will but require propc. exercise OF
Taste TO render magazine, formed on this plan, the
richest depository OF elegant and entertaining ltcra
ture ever published and this we seriously mean the
Evergreen" shall be; for we quite we have
the materials to render it so. We can boast of q
more brilliant list Of contributors than any contem-
poraneous periodical, as may be seen by glancing
at tho contents of our present number. Indeed,
there is no author honorably known to fame in these
or any former times to whose productions we do not
have access. We shall always aim, however, at
presenting what is new and comparatively original
to the readers of this country believing at the same
time, that old familiar piece SO it be excellent in
itself is far preferable to original article having
no claim upon the attention of persons of refined
literary taste.
A portion of the talent Of the age, in this codn.
try and in Great Britain, has been exercised in the
periodical department of literature: We need moi
mention the names of Campbell, Wilson. Bulwer
Washington Irving, Jefifeys, Lockhart knowles
Moore, Marryatt Ainsworth, Miss Milford, Praed ID
Mrs. Ilemans, T. K. Hervey Barry Cornwall, T
Hood, Poole, Leigh Hunt, and hundreds of othe
distinguished and agreeable writers, to provo thl
fact. These and many others Of eminence have
given brlliancy to the magazine literatura OF th'
last ten years. and such Of the productions OF these
as may be new and uncollected, shall find "loc'
habitation" in the Evergreen.
Our work will be cmbelishcd with engraving
on wood or on steel, and each number will contain
Sc pages neatly printed.

SCRAPS FROM!AN OLD PORTFOLIO.
Society is to mannerism what the chi.
sci is to block of marble. The fashion
and use Of the statue depend upon the
skill and taste of sculptor. In this sense
all men are truly the creatures Of educa.
ton.
One of the strongest arguments in
proof of the divine origin Of christianity
is to be found in its effects upon the world.
Where do the most fourishing institutions
exist for the melioration of human want
and misery? Where are the wisest laws
for the support of truth, justice, and mer'
cy! Where do the moral virtues; and the
charities Of human life most prevail! In
Christendom. And those facts are stron-
ger arguments than abstract reasonirgs or
theories of moral sentiment.
Love of fameis one of the most power
full desires. Few can brook neglect
And there are others who prefer to be
spoken of lightly and irreverently than 10
be unoticed. Empedocles cast himselfinto
the crater of Mount Etna, to perpetuate
his memory. That anxiety for posthu-
nous fame was only modification of the
passion for life. 1t is true that the mad
man put an end to his earthly existence;
but what was his object, if not to live in
the remembrance Of others? The same
feeling is witnessed in the erection OF
tombs and efigies to the departed; and in
the portraits and statues of the living. A
sentiment coeval with the race may be re-
ceived in proof of the souls Immortality.
And so predominantis its influence. that the
question arises, whether the torments Of
endless punishment would be mole fright
full to anticipate than the horror Of ami
lhilation,
