THE KNIcKERBocKER.--The last number OF this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments; and in it's rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
the United States When we first started the old
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
az Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in praise of the manner In
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the e. has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence OF edi-
toria care, and anxious thought, and welldirected
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe SO thorough
ly edited, in the strictest sense OF the term
York Daily Tribune.
sMATHEMATIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
asmptotes, whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The KNIcKERBocKEh' which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only TO be at
tanned by more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an ercei-
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understanding it is sealed mystery to us. There

THE KNIcKERBoCKER seems to increase In attrac-
ton as it advances in age. 1t exhibits a monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or
ability National Intelligencer.
THE KNIcKERBoCKER is one OF the most valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrps all competition
in the higher walks of lierature. '--Aibany Argus
ss1he Editors Table alone is worth the price OF
the work. tbs not periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
save and re-read. A set Of the KNIcKERBocKER,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves OF one OF our
popular libraries, is consulted (so the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work. =
