The KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type in all its de-
partmcnts; and in its rich and diversified contents,

that of any American Monthly; fact which liter

sMATHEMATICIANs tell us of certain curves called
asymptotss, whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet, when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The KNicKERBoCKER, which
has reached an age for a Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only to be at
tanned by more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excel
