THE KNICKERBocKER.-Thc last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partmcnts; 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

Editor of tho KNIcKEnDocKER about a twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
ally sspeal1s 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 indubitabc evidence Of cdi
torial care and anxious thought and ell-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known

sMArHEMArIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
asymtotes, whose peculiarty is always to approach
each other, and yet, 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 more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet 1t seems TO have an exce-
sior, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understand-but it is a sealed mystery tous There

"Thc Editor's Table alone is worth the price of

over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
