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 vindcate it's reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in

which the work has been conducted No number

vision that did bear indubitable evidence of ed
torial care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstanped upon its pages We have known
