i England, 'the best magazine in America II
has nearly reached its thirty fourth uolims, and IN

American and British writers Of distinction
THE KsIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partmcnts 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 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 K has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence Of edi-
torial care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly of this country or Europe, 80 thorough

'MATHEMATICIANS tell US OF certain curves Cdlleu
aspnptotes, 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 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 an ercel
siOr for each number seems better than that which
