8 The new year has thus far brought to our notice
nothing more gratifying and encouraging than this
anew publication. The advent of monthly mag

4abound In such publications but 10 our knowl-
edge nothing of the character of the magazine be-
:slore us, has ever been attempted by any member
5or members Of the colored race in the United
Estates. We have had numerous newspapers, a
good many pamphlets, few unpretending poems
"a few biographical sketches mostly narratives OF
& fugitive slaves, written by themselves Others
only written at their dictation the amanuenss fur
finishing the words and the fugitivea the facts but
abeyond these nothing has been even attempted

satrust the beginning of an era in the mental moral
Hand religious history of the colored people in this

adjudication, in point of patronage, whether il
shal succeed or fail, for want of support, We sim
Scerely rejoice TO see the attempt made, and made

smonth is the essay of DR.. J. NJ Cune Smith, show
