While it will furnish its patrons with the leading features of the news of the day, its principal object will be to serve up a hum. ruus compilation of the numerous lively and pungent sallies which are daily floating along the tide of Literature, and which for the want ofa proper channel for their preservation, arepositivl ly lots to the reading world. Originawits and humorists of our lime will here have a medium devoted to the faithful record of the scintiilstions of their genius. It is not necessary to detail the many attractions which this ji'irnl will possess, as V.he publisher will furnish a specimen number to evry person who desires it (those out of the city, will forward tn ir order, postage paid) (rj-and lie pledges him-tlt thai no exeriiens on his part shall be v anting to make each su ccecding number s aperior ia every respect to the preceding cuts.
