THE KNIcKERBocKER.--The last number OF tins
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments; and in it's rich and diversified contents,
and published
the United States When we first started the old
sNew Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor Of the KsIcKERBoCKER about . twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that Of any American Monthly; fact which liter
ally speaks Volumes in pruise 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 not bear indubtabe evidence of edi
toral care and anxious thought, and weli-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly Of this country or Europe, 80 thorough
ly edited, in the strctest sense Of the term '-Nsr
sMArHEMATIcIANs tell US Of certain curves called
asymptotes, whose peculiarly is always to approach
each other, and yet, when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The KNIcKsRBocxER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for 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
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understandable it is sealed mystery to US. There
is publication in the United States that has 20 at

''1he Editors Table alone is worth the price of
the work 1t is not periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
and re-read. A set of the KsIcKERBocxER,
bound up in volumes, ON the shelves OF one OF our
popular libraries, is consulted ESQ the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.
