IT'S AIM WIFI RE

FIRST: In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number will
contain articles Of an abstract and permanent
value, il viii also be found that the healthy
appetite Of the mind for entertainment in its
various forms of Narrative, W it, and Humsr,
VIII not go uncared for, The publishers wish
to say, also that while native writers will re-
ceive the most solid encouragement and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, they will not hesitate to draw from
the foreign sources at their command, as occa-
sion may require. relying rather on the COM
potency of an author to treat particular sub
iect, than on any other claim whatever. In
this way they hope to make their Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read, rs.
SECOND: In the t.rm ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics. and
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regaed to
prejudice. whether personal or national, OF to
private considerations of what kind soeyer.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but Will hon
estly endeavor to be the exponent of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea,
1t will deal frankly with persons and
with parties, endeavoring always TO keep
in view that moral element which tram
sends all persons and parties, and which alone
makes the basis of true and lasting national
1t will not rank itself with any
sect of antics, but with that body of men which

THE GIRL WITH The CALICO DRESS.


ri ROBERT JossELYE.
= fig for yoar qpper-ten girls,
With their Eeivcts, and satins, and laces,
Their diamonds, and rubies and PEARLS
and their lailliner figures and faces;
They may shine AT q party or bali,
Enblazoncd with half they possess,
But give me in place, of them al,
The girl With the calico dfdss..-- E.
She Is plump as a partridge, and f fair
As fl,e rose in its earliest bloom;
Her teeth with ivory compare,
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step. is as free and as light
AS .lIe ElwI's from the hunters hard press,
And her eye is as soft and as bright
NJ girl With the calico dress.
Yo,'r lanAies and fQplings may sneer,
Al he simple and modest attire,
But the charms she permits TO appear,
AYouly! set the whole iceberes on fire.
Sic can d;nee-but she never allows
The hrgging, the squeeze, and caress,
She is saving all these for her Spouse
Ny girl With the calico dress.
She IS cheerful, warm-hearted, and true,
And Kind TO her father and mother,
VI studies how much she can do
Fcr. her sweet little sister ami brother
You want companion for life,
To comfort, ellliyen, aud bless,
She IS ust the right soit of a vie.
