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 60 Viser the most useful paper in the
Tn his w he
ton of every thing like the poisonous trash some of
the mammoth sheets are 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 'Visltern 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 aud obituary news.
