closes the third volumo. We wish that we might
be able to forward at least some subscribers for the

mention of tho Notices of the Press." He remarks,
"We have been much gratified to see that no
small interest has been te't w our enterpnze. Some
. praise has been awarded us, but it has not been un.
mixed?faults, quickly risible to the practised eyes
of Editors hare been pointed out. For this frankness,
as well as for the commendations we hare received,
we now return sincere thanks. Improrement is our
aim, and erery thing calculated to quicken our pace
and keep us onward is acceptable."
This is truly a commendable spirit, and we wish
that some others could be actuated by one equally
liberal. Among an Editor's many vexations, the ingratitude
of his own craft is perhaps, the most severe.
For instance, some brother Editor, that we never
heard of before, forwards us a number of his periodical?it
is marked "please notice;" mind you?not
please commend. Wo take a seat in our arm chair,
wipe our spectacles, place them in their proper posi
tion, and devote as much, and perhaps more leisure,
than we can well spare, to an examination of its con.
tents. Determined all the while to pass over all trivial
defects, aware that ice cannot expect our pecu.
liar taste to be gratified in overy particular, and also
conscious that every article which is morally good,
must please some one, even if not precisely adapted j
to our organ of enjoyment in that line. Well, we
get along very smoothly for montl^n this course,
perhaps even yeays, until eventually (somo solitary j
article appears which in our conscience we feel
bound to coodemn, or bold our peaco. In many instances
wo have pursued tho latter course, in a few others
we have exercised what we consider our natural
privilege, and expressed our disapprobation, decidedly!
it is true, but in every instanco we believe justly.
And what is the result? Why, that Magazine is
henceforth among the missing. But bo it so. So
long as wo wield the pen at all, howover feebly, it
hall yet be justly; and we will not for the whole
subscription list of any or all of the Magazines in the
country, disgrace our columns with a commendation
of'w.hat.is either unjust in character or impure in
morals.
Among the number of Magazines with which we
have long exchanged, but two have withdrawn. In
? the first place, about a year since, the "Southern Lit.
erary Messenger," in consequence of our having expressed
our surprise that the "History of an Adventurer"
should have been admitted within its precincts.
When that notice was penned, we had seen
?io other mention of the story. Immediately after,
however, we observed so many, with which ours bore
no comparison for severity, that we rather congratulated
ourselves upon its mildness. Had we no other
Magazines, "The Messenger" would have been sucli
a loss that we should perhaps have been forced to
subscribe for it,"to supply the deficiency?fortunately
however,. its absence has only somewhat lightened
our Editorial duties.
We did not intond when we commenced this article
to extend it to such a length, but we suppose
it is also one of our Editorial privileges occasionally
to' thrust our own affairs before the reader, and we
' shall therefore just add a passing notice of Godet's
Lady's Book, of which which wo have bocn an admiring
reader for several years, until, in an unlucky
mordent for us, we noticed what we considered a very
ungenerous allusion to the "Southern Ladies'
Book," and put a single query which has never yet been
answered. Truo, we received the next number, with
a few lines on the cover, purporting to bo an answer,
but' Which were about as much to tire point as it
V would be wore some one to address the following
question tons: "Mr. Editor, what has become of Godefs
Lady's Book? You never mention it," and we
should reply, "why sir, we don't receive it, and of
conrse it is no longer issued."
But we have wandered entirely from the blooming
Magnolia, which deserves the liberal support of the
whole South. Its contributors are among our most
talented, and the work must flourish?we owe it to
ourselves
We were much pleased with the remarks of a Puritan,
and more so with the spirit in which they were
met. V

no frequenter of large parties,

in his bliss upon the bank of a

"Och honey!" exclaimed he, solemnly,
"that ever I should come to America to

"Whist!"said his wife, " don't be after
making fun of the birds."
