W# ore frequently requested to clab with oilier publications, but bads always refused, because we are ctgpriboed that two can not walk to- gdeher unless they are agreed. We hake however, always been ready to ariMeialri with genteel, well educat ed rend feffilod publications, which though not professedly churehly and evangelical, ’ nevertheless were for Christ; and we havA found such a companion, thongh, and we want this to be-remembered, not a partner. The Upshot of alt this is that, The Lutheran Visitor aud The XIX Cen tury Will be furnished to all sub scribers for #u a year. Ministers, Theological students, and minister's widows will Receive both for #t.f>0 a year. The terms are so moderate, and thtff inducements offered so liberal, that we anticipate that many will avOiLthmnsalve* of this opportunity to obtain a good Ohoreli-paper and an taeellatt literary journal.

Now and then we succeed in obtaining an article from one or another of these brethren; but it is hard work, and the process is rather trying to our inner man. We will try to deserbe it: Every one knows that there arc music 1 loses which play but One piece. They are wound up—the cylinder uiooves—the sweet birdlfke music riples on—they stop, and must be wound up. No wind ing up, no music. Some of our cou- tributofs are like such music boxes: not as regards tlic one tune, fur they are full of pieces, variations, and grand compositions, they can play (write) without being wound up, but they ■ill wt. We wound one of them up sometime ago; be jterformed—wrote one piece, and njp down. We wound another up, a few (lays ago, be too went ij^a tgxire, and is'now silent.

We now intend to offer some encourage ment* to the right and full discharge of the duty of liberality. And first we offer tlie comfort den tim'd to be enjoyed l»y the liberal man. To make others happy to the noble miml, is one of the highest aad purest forms of enjoyment of a mere earthly character that cun bo ex perienced.
