Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub
Usher will be prepared to give re-pubcations of the
choicest tales, &c from the popular foreign maya
zines as they arrive monthly We are determined
to render the Niser' the most useful paper in the
country To this end, will avoid the re-publca-
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 no business in tanypaper
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 an eye to news about town" and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz: give full
record of all hymenoI and obituary news.
