THE KNIckERBoCKER MAaAzrNR.

EDITED nv LOUIS GAYLORD CLARK.
rNlIE number for January, 1856, begins the
l. Forty-Second Volume OF the Knickefbock-
or Magazine.
Since the price of subsc ription has been re-
duced from i've TO three dollars a wear, the
circulation of the KNtcRERBocKER has been
increased nearly four TO one. In many places
ten are taken where there was but one before,
aud through the year IL has been steadily in
creasing. II is now offered as cheap as any
of the Magazines, all things considered. In
stead of making new and prodigious promises,
we submit a few extracts from notices of late
numbers, which we might extend to a number
of pages.
"Those familiar with the Editors Monthly
Gossip with his Readers have doubtless,
with ourselves, admired the Parental source
OF its wit and ioyousness. In this number
'The Gossip holds on its way like some fair
rivulet CHANGING and dancing in the sunshine of
a May morning. We used to wonder how
Mr.. Clark could hold out, expecting he must
certainly 'lct down in the coming number /;
but this number gives no sign of exhaustion"

pheasant, genial, delightful cold Knickl,
Thy name is a suggestion of things delectable !;
the sight Of thy modest, fresh cover, a balm
TO spiritual sore eyes; a glance within thee,
best antidote for the blues. Thou hast given
TO kindly humor, to piquant delincation, and
TO s~ide-splitting fun, a local habitation,'
without which they might go wandering over
the domain of letters, calling now and then
where a friendly door opened to them but re-
fusing TO be comforted for the loss of their
old dear home. '-Courier, Burlington, VT.
"The great care eyinced in the selection of
articles that adorn its pages, is a sufficient
guaranty that no contribution meets the eve of
the reader but those which are known to be
worthy of his perusal. When storms and
wild tempests are sweeping Ger our hillside
village in these chill winter hours, and is
drear and desolate without. we ask for no
more agreeable companion than the 'KN1cK-
E~RBocKER'; for while its contents impart
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 n."-Dcmocrat, Doylestown,
Penn.
"Thc K~NIcKERBocKER has been and will be
a fact of its own; a genuine living thing, all
the more desirable now that the new crop of
magazines, filled with articles pirated from
English authors, makes fresh home creations
more conspicuous and welcome. ~ New
