pages:
.sThose familiar with the editors monthly Cos
sip with his Readers, have doubtless, with our
selves admired the perennial source ofts pleasant
wit and joyousness. In this number The Cos
sip holds on its way like fair rivulet, glanc
ing and dancing in the sunshine ofa May morn
ng. used to wonder how Mr.. Clarke held on:
expecting he must certainly snow-brown' in the
coming number; but this number gives no sign of
exhaustion."-[ National Intelhgencer, Washing
Pleasant. genial. delightful Old KNOX y Thy

sight of thy modest. fresh cover. balm to spirit
unl sore eyes; glance within thee the best anti
dote for the blues. Thou hast given to kindly hui
mour. to piquant delineation. and to side-split-
ting fun. local habtation.' without which they
might go wandering over the domain of letters,
calling now and then where u friendly door open

1.-The great care evinced in the selection of arti-
cles that ad"rn its pages is sufficient guarantee
that no contribution meets the eye of the reader
but those which known to be worthy of his
perusnl. When storms and wild tempests
sweeping DER our hillside village in these chill
winter hours and all is drear and desoate without
we ask for no more agreeable companion than the
Knickerbocker; for. while its contents impart val
liable information, its sallies of genuine wit
sovereign specific for all fits of the blues attacks
of the horrors, and time passes merrily on"
