THE KNIcKERBocKER.-T 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 a twelve
month: it has reached an age greatly beyond
| that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
ally sspeaks 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 indubitabe evidence of ed
oral care, and anxious thought, and well-directed
| labor cnstamped upon its pages We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thorough
y edited, in the strctes sense OF the term -NetD

sMATHEmATIoIANs tell US of certain curves called
asynptotes, whose pecuarity 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 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 excel
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. Howit is done our friend CLARK may
understand but it is a sealed mystery to us. There
