AMERICAN AND ORIGINAL.
THE KNICKERBooKER MAGAZINE.

Edited ny LOUIS GAYLoRD CLARK.
rnHE number for January, 1886, begins the
l. Forty Second Volume Of the Knickerbock-
cr MlgNhinc.
Since the price Of subscription has been re-
duced from FIVE to three dollars a year, the
circulation Of the "KNicKEBBocKER has been
increased nearly four to one. In many places
ten are taken where there was but one before,
and through the year it has been steadily in
c%reasing. It is now offered as cheap as any
of the Magazines, all things considered. In
stead Of making new and prodig' Gus promises,
we submit q 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 ioyousucss. In this number
'Thc Gossip holds on its way like some fair
rivulct CHANGING and dancing in the sunshine OF
a May morning. We used to wonder how
Mr.. Clark could hold out. expecting he must
certainly 'let dowu' in the coming number (;
but this number gives no sign Of exhaustion"

"Thc great care evinced in the selection of
articles that adorn it's pages, is a sufficient
guaranty that no contribution meets the eye of
the reader but those which are known to be
worthy of his p~erusal. When storms and
wild tcmpesls are SWEEPING DER our hill side
village In these chill winter hours, and ia
drcar and dcsolatc without. we ask for no
more agreeable companion than the 'KNIcK-
ERBoCRER'; for while its contents impart
valuable information, its sallics Of genuine
wit are a sovereign specific for all fits of the
blues or attacks of the horrors, and time
passes merrily on."-Democrat, Doylcstown,
Penn.
"The KNtcKERBoCKER has been and will be

the more desirable now that the new crop of
