will render these publications unusually interest
lug during the forthcoming year. They will
occupy a middle ground between the hastily

rumors OF the daily Journal, aud the ponderous

living interest and excitement OF the great
pulitical events OF the time shall have passed
away. 1t is to these Periodicals that readers
must look for the only really integlbe and
reliable history III current events, and as such, in
addition to their well established literary scientific,
and theological character, we urge them upon the
con siteration OF the reading public.
