selves admired the perennial source Ofits pleasant

sight of thy modest, fresh cover, balm to spirit

1.-THE great care evinced in the selection of arti
cles that adorn its pages, is sufficient guarantee
that no contribution meets the eye of the reader
but those which are known to be worthy of hi:
perusal. When storms and wild tempests are
sweeping DER our hillside village in these chill
winter hours. and all is drear and desolate without
we ask for no more agreeable companion than tho
Knckerbocker; 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"
