sTHE KSIcKERBocKER.--The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type IN all its de-

the United States When we first started the old
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about a 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 been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did bsar indubitable evidence OF edi
torial care and anxious thought, and well directed

sMATHEmATIcIANs tell US of certain curves called
asynptotes whose popularity Is always to approach
each other and yet, even when infinitely extended
never to intersect. The KNIcKERBocKER, which
has reached age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years fol-. a man, and only to be at
tanned by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an eTcel-
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. How il is done our friend CLARK may
understand-but it is scaled mystery to US. There
