THE KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments and in its 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

that of any American Monthly; fact which liter

which the work has been conducted. No number
Of the X. has been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear ndubiable evidence of edi-
torial care and anxious thought and ell-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known

sMArHEMArICIANs tell us of certain curves called
asyuptotss, whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended
never to intersect. The KNIcKERBoCKER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than q 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 srcs!-
Sioy, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARx may
understand-but it lie sealed mystery TO Us. There
