THE KNIcKERBocKEn.-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
| sNew 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 CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence Of ed
torial CARE and anxious thought, and well-drected

sMArHEMAT Ic1ANs tell us of certain curves called
asymptotes whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet even when infinitely extended
never to intersect. The KNICKERBoCKER, which

| than hundred years for man, and only to be at
tanned by more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point ofnterest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excel
sor, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it ID done our friend CLARK may
