We do not consider it beneath our dignity TO tor
row wit and wisdom from Punch; and, when We
think ii good enough, make use OF the thunder OF
the Times. We shall increase our variety by i'm.
pouatons from The continent OF Europe, and from
the new growth Of the British colonies.
The steamship has brought Europe, Asia, and
Africa into our heigh borhood and will greatly
multiply our connections, as Merchants, Travel
ers and Politicians, with all parts OF the world;

ger object TO make it attractive to their Wives and
Children. We believe that we can thus do some
good in our day and generation; and hope TO make
the work indispensable in every well-iniormed
amlIy. We say indispensable, because in this
day OF cheap literature it is not possible TO guard
against the influx OF what is bad in taste aud vi
cious in morals, in any other way than by furnish
gasutiicientsupply OF healthy character, The
mental and moral appetite must be gratified,
We hope that by "winnowing the wheat from
The chat," by providing abundanty for the ina
g gnaton, and by large collection Of Biography,
Voyages and Travels, History, and more solid
matter, we may produce a work which shall be
popular, while at the same time it will aspire to
lase the standard Of public taste.
