THE NEW MAGAZINE,
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.

THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BIZ
ENRST: In Literature, to leave no province
IL unrepresented, SO that, while each num-
Der will contain articles of an abstract and per-
manent value, it will also be found that the
healthy appetite of the mind for entertainment
in its various forms of Narrative, Wit and HUI
NOR, will not go uncared for. The publishers
wish to say, also, that while native writers will
receive the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the AT
LANTIc, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion
may require, relying rather on the competency
on any other claim Whatever. In this way they
hope to make their periodical welcome whereev-
or the English language is spoken or read. ESQ
SECOND: In the term ART, it is intended to
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and they
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of party or clique, but will honestly en-.
deavor to be the exponent of what its connduo.
tors believe to be the American Idea. 1t will
deal frankly with persons and with parties. en-
deavoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transccnds all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis of o true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any set Of antics, but with that
boz of men which is in favor Of Freedom, Ma
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private.
TERMS: Three Dollars year, or Twenty-Five
Cents number, and may be. obtained of Book
sellers, Periodical Agents, or of the Publishers,

TALL OAKS FROM LITTLE AcoRNs

"TALL OAKS FROM LITTLE AcoRNs
GROW" In recent lecture, the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher gave an account
of his first year in the ministry, the first
flock which he gathered consisting of
only nineteen poor aoonaen. He was then
not only the pastor but the sexton Of the
church, filing and lighting the lamps,
which he was compelled to buy himself,
kindling the fires and sweeping out the
church. He did not ring the bell, be-
cause he had none to ring. Such was the
humble beginning of the most popular
preacher in the Union.

In neighboring city young mem
Der of the bar thought he would adopt
motto for himself, and after much re-
Election. wrote in large letters and pasted
up against the wall the following :-"Su-
UNI cique," which may be translated,
i" Let every one have his own" A coun-
try client coming in, expressed himself
much gratifed with the maxim, but ad-
ded, You don't spell it right" In
deed, then how ought it to be spelt ?''-
The visitor replied "Su'um quick"
