THE KSIcKERBocxER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new 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 ia
| the United States. When we first started the old
'New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
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 not bear ndubitable evidence of ed
torial care and anxious thought, and weildirected
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, Of this country Europe, so thorough
ly edited in the strictest of the term Nero

'MArHEMArIoIANs tell us of certain curves called
asynptotss, 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 Magazine much greater
than hundred years for a man, and only to be at
tanned by q more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet 1t seems 70 have an excel
sior, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it Is done our friend CLARK may

THE KNIcKEnBocKER is one of the most valuable
magazines OF the day, and outstrps all competition
