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 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; fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in praise OF the manner In
which the work has been conducted. NO number
of the X has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear ndubiable evidence OF ed
torial care and anxious thought and ell-drected
labor enstamped upon it, pages. We have known
monthly, Of this country or Europe, 90 thorough

sMArHEmArIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
asynptoss, whose popularity is always to approach
each other and yet, even when INFINITELY exsenaed,
never to intersect. The KNIcKERHoCKER, which
has reached an age for 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 an srce!
siOr for each number seems better than that which
went before. Howit is done our friend CLARK may
understand-but it is a sealed mystery TO U.S. There
