Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub
Usher will be prepared to give re-publicaons of the
choicest tales &C., from the popular foreign maya
zines, as they arrive monthly We are determined
to render the Vsiter" 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 are forced to print, merely to I'LL
up in time. Such matter is untitled for the family
circle and, therefore, has no business in family
Our aim is to do good, not harm
In order to render the sVisiter" appropriate for
natives Of Baltimore, and others desiring to take a
paper containing the city news we shall constantly
keep an eye to news about town. and shall do wha,
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz give full
record of all hymenia and obituary news.
