Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub

choicest tales, &C., from the popular foreign maya
zines they arrive monthly. We are determined
to render the Viser the most useful paper in the
country To this end we will avoid the re-publica-
ton of every thing like the poisonous trash some of
the mammoth sheets forced to print, merely to hill
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 ''Visltern appropriate for
natives Of Baltimore and Others desiring to take
paper containing the city news, shah constantly
keep eye to news about town." and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz give a full
record of all hymenal and obituary news.
