Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub
Usher will be prepared to give re-pubIicaions of the
choicest tales, &c, from the popular foreign maya
zines, as they arrive monthly. We determined
to render the Vsiter' the most useful paper in the
country. To this end, we will avoid the re-pubca-
ton of every thing like the poisonous trash of
shaAtp fH
up in time. Such matter is untitled for the family
circle, and, therefore has no business in family paper
Our aim is to do good not harm,
In order to render the 'Visiter" appropriate for
natives of Baltimore and others desiring to take a
paper containing the city news, shall constantly
keep eye to news about town." and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish viz: give full
record of all hymenial and obituary news.
