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
| New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERBoCKER about twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; a fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in praise of the manner in
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the X. has been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence of edi
torial care and anxious thought and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly of this country or Europe, so thorough
ly edited, in the striCtest of the term -Netc
York Daily Tribune.
sMATHEmATIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
asyaptoes, 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 a 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 ercel-
sior, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understandable it is sealed mystery to us. There
