THE KNIcKERDocKER.--Th last number of this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
Upon entirely and beautiful type in all It's 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
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that Of any American Monthly; a fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in praise of the manner in
which the work has been conducted. No number
OF the X has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear ndubitable evidence of edi
toria care, and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages We have known
no monthly, OF this country or Europe, 30 thorough

'MATHEMATIcIANs tell us Of certain curves called
asynpotes, 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 q hundred years for man, and only TO be at
tanned by more marvellous miracle, has perpctu-
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excel
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
