Besides articles from regular Contributors the Pub
Usher will be prepared to give publicatons of the
choicest tales, &c. from the popular foreign maya
zines, as they arrive monthly. We are determined
to render the 'Viser the most useful paper 10 the
country To this end, we will avoid the re-publica-
tiop ofe thing lie the trash of
the mammoth sheets forced to print, merely to fill
up in time. Such matter is unified 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 a
paper containing the city news, we shall constantly
keep eye to about town., and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish viz: give full
record of all hymenal and obituary news.
