Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub
Usher will be prepared to give rc-pubcations of the
choicest tales, &c. from the popular foreign maga-
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-pubca-
ion IF
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 family paper.
Our aim is to do good not harm :
In order to render the ''Nisitern appropriate for
natives of Baltimore and others desiring to take
paper containing the city news, we 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
