Of pages.
'.Those familiar with the Editors Monthly
Gossip with his Readers have doubtless,

Of its wit and ioyousness. In this number
The Gossip holds on its way like some fair

'Thc great care evinccd in the selection of
articles that adorn its pages, is a sufficient
guaranty that no contribution meets the eye OF
the reader but those which are known to be
worthy of his perusal. When storms and
wild tempests are sweeping DER our hillside

drear and desolate without, we ask for no
more agreeable companion than the 'KNICK-

valuable information, its sallies of genuine
wit are a sovereign specific for all fits of the
blues or attacks of the horrors, and time
passes merrily on."-Democrat, Doylestown,

English authors, makes fresh home creation,
