Besides articles from regular Contributors the Pub
Usher will be prepared to give repubcatons OF the
choicest tales, Sc, from the popular foreign maya
zines as 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 of
the mammoth sheets forced to print, merely to fill
up IN time. Such matter is untitled for the family
circle and therefore, has 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
paper containing the city news, shall constantly
keep an eye to 'news about town." and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz: give full
record OF all hymenial and obituary news.
