WITH il we shall also commence various improve,

Of publication and typography, together with all the

tn the accomplishment OF this end and whatever en-

readers Of this Magazine. Stimulated by desire to
infse fresh spirit Into the work. we shall not cOntne
our scope to particular vein Of literary pictorial
matter, but shall comprehend all that may be desired
ny the popular taste in such periodical. Recogni-
zing the truth that genns Is OF no cline or country
we shall endeavor TO make our Magazine a. cOsmop-
olitan country and the latter Is the refuge
Of all nations and people aspiring for republican free
dom, 50. the former shall always have place Tor
whatever s really ntercsting or valuable In the cur
reat micellanenls literature VI the world. Al the
same time, shall, with especial care, study IN pre-

has always maintained as the organ OF our own eeu-

for something better In periodical OF this kind than
mere fugitive or occasional productions, we shall not
publish anything which IL not interesting, valuable,
spirited or entertang no matter from what source II
may come, or how eminent may he the name OF ia
author. On the other hand, we shall feel pride In
rescung genius or talent from oscurty, and lie ready
at all times to give place 10 any good article, even
though the writer may not have the sanction Of u
popular name.
The active, entcrprising, vigorous and powerful
mind Of the nation requires, we think, a nutriment
which shall add TO Its strength, stimulate ts growth
and correspond with it, high hopes and glorious
destiny. The dreamy, sketrhy, and insubstantinl
character Of too much Of current literature, Affords
m type for those who would venture upon a career
Of success in this line. It nay minister to the pleas

in such a community. But II cannot do more. For
the figures upon the must not he those Of
