zines, as they arrive monthly. We are determined
to render the sVisiter' the most useful paper in the
| country. 70 this end, we will avoid the re-pubca-
tlon 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 business ina family paper.
