DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.
HES AEHI WILL BE

FmsT: In Literature, TO leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number Will
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value, il will also be found that the healthy
annette of the mind for entertainment IN It's
various forms of Narrative, Wit, and Hu1nor,
will not go uncared for, The puoilshefs: >, WISH
To say. also that while native writers will re-
ceiye 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
Detency of an author to treat particular SUBS
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,
SECOND: In the term 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 10
private considerations of what kind soever.
: THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but will hon.
estlv endeayor 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
prosperity. It will not rank itself with any
sect of antics, but with that body of men which
is in favor of Freedom, National Progress, and
Honor, whether public or private.
AS an earnest Of he material at their COM
mand, they suhioin the following list of literary
persons interested IN their enterprise; wishing
It, however, to be distinctly understood, that
they shall hope for support from every kind OF
ability which desires the avenue of their col
unns. and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intrin-
sic merit -

Don't say that you haven't got time
That business demands your attention,
There's not the least reason nor rhyme,
In the wiscst excuse you cen mention.
Don't tell me about 'other fish,
Your duty is done when you buy 'em,
And you never will relis. the dish,
Unless you've woman to fry EN-.
Don't listen to querulous stories
BY desperate damsels related,
Who sheer at connubial glorics,
Because they've known couples misma

Such people, if they had their pleasure,
Because silly bargains are made,
Would deem it rational measure
To lay an embargo on trade.
You may dream of poetical fame,
But your wishes may chance to mis-
The best way of sending ones name
To poster;ty, Charles, is to marry.
And here am willing to own,
After soberlv thinking upon it,
I'd very much rather be known
For beautiful son, than sonnet.
To Representation be deaf, :

The scoundreI's not only the thief
OF time but of beauty and lovel
O delay not one moment to win
A prize that is truly worth winning
Celibacy, Charles, is sin,
And sadly prolific of SHINING
Then pray bid your doubling good by.
And dismiss ri! fantastic a!arns,-
III be sworn you've a girl in your eye,
IT'S your duty to have in your arms.
Some trim little maiden oftwenty,
A beautiful, azure-eyed elf,
With virtues and graces in plenty,
And no failing but loving yourself,
Don't search for IAN angel minute;
For granting you win in the sequel,
The deuce, after all, would be i'll it,
With union so very unequal.
The angels, it must be confess ID,
In THIS world arc rather uncommon,
And allow me, dear Charles, to sugg st
You'll be better content with woman

For choosing a conjugal mate,-

Aud gives you Il double cstate!'
To ones parents It's Gratefully DUE
Just think what a horrible thing
'Iwould have been, sir, for me and for yol
If oars had forgotten the ring!
Then there's the economy-clear,
BY poctical algebra shown
II your wife has a grief or fear,
One half, by the law, is your own!
And as to the joys-by division,
They're nearly quadrupled, tits said,
Though [ never could see the addition
Quite plain in the item Of breaD.
Remember, [ do not pretend
There's anything perfect about it,
But this Iii aver to the end,
Life's very imperfect without it,
IT'S not that there's poetry i'll it.
As, doubtless, there may be to those
Endowed with genius to win it,
But LII warrant YOU excellent prose.

Chicago Tribune for 1858

TIME CHICAGO TRIBUNE is q bold, earus
est and straightforward Republican paper.
devoted TO the cause of Freedom, Progress, and
Reform Believing that Liberty, and NOT
Bondage is the saving principle ofthe Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery. It contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gross of 1887, that "Slavery or involuntary sefs
vitude shall never exist in territory now free,
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be free,
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom all Ma
tional Territory, and that the influence of the
General Government shall be exercised OH ths
side of Freedom.
THE TRIBUNE AS A NEWSPAPER! ...
The City of Chicago has become the aews-
centre, as well as the Commercial emporium,
of the great Northwest. The vast system OF
railroads terminating in it, afford facilities for
gathering intelligence from all directions with
great dispatch, and the Tribune is unrivalsef
in the W est for its enterprise in this department
Its long and spacious columns are filed with
fresh and entertaining matter, embracing essays,
tales, letters, narratives, poetry, politics, and
miscellaneous articles. The Tribune is elevated
i'm moral tone, and eminently adapted to the
western home circle, and the fresidc of intelli-
gent, freedom-loving families.
THE TRIBUNE AS COMMERCIAL PAPER.
The Tribune is the best commercial paper in
Chicago No expense or labor is spared 10
make its market reports reliable and satisfaa-
tory, not only fer Chicago, but for the rrnc-
pal eastern markets. The Chicago quotations
are based on actual sales.

Minnesota Weekly Times.
A Paper for the People.
FREEDOM NATIONAL SLAVERY SECTIONAL.
Tuenty Copies to One Addrcss-$20.
Now is the time to get up Clubs-Payment in
Advance.

Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Weekly
Times came before the public, and from that
period to the present il has been battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man,
regardless of the ties of party or the sneers and
iibes of partizan leaders. By pursuing con-
sistent and straightforward career, by a persist
ent devotion to principles, it has won its way
to public favor, and notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press, it has attained
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accomplished, not by system
of self laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronage of its friends throughout Minnesota and
the Eastern States.
The Times has ever advocated, and will con-
tinue to advocate the cause OF the people, and
in doing so it has advocated the cause of the
great Republican party whose principles 1t has
warmly espoused and will defend to the best
of its ability. 1t never has and never will pam
der to the vices of the vicious, and never finch
es from graphing with error wherever it exists.
1t believes in AL honest utterance of the truth
in adhering to right, justice and temperance
- i'll an outspoken, manly condemnation OF
wrong in a just appreciation of the wants OF
the honest settler, to whom a home should be
guaranteed by Congress, and in the develop
ment of all those resources which are caleulat-
ed to place us first among the States OF this
great confederacy.
Many new features will be added to the
TINES in the course of the year 1858. We shall
spare no pains to procure the latest and most
reliable news both at home and from abroad ;
shall publish weekly a full and correct re-
port of the Markets, = and shall at all times
devote our exergies to make our paper equal in
all respects to any other in our new and rapid
