This new serial will be especially the Magazine lor the cultivated honie, al-; ways up to the practical as well as the ! scientific spirit of the times. j It will be largely devoted to information relating to foreign and home conn- j tries, especially those places remote from ! the general rush of travel. This inlor-1 mation will be profusely illustrated by ! fine engravings from original sketches, j The recent discoveries in science, relat-; ing to explorations and journeyings of! travelers, the inventions of painstaking j laborers in the fielded the practical arts, j' the discoveries of celebrated chemists. I physicians,_ botanists, and mineralogists, ; will be noted''as they occur.An original illustrated article on Na- ' j pies, another on Home, as the new capi-! i tal of United Italy, will be published; j] besides original tales, sketches of hie i < and character, and various literary pa- i ] pers from the pens of writers of the first j j talent.

The citizen j who stands aloof and washes bis ' hands of all responsiblitj in pcli-1 ftcs, is really responsible for the j apparent lack of virtue in public I officials,- and nothing so much! tends to correct the evils and ] deraag^gism of party Mrife.. as the.i earnest<jioriest en'ofiis? jopr] citizens to- secure int^rity and ability-in public life. Let it be for public "me& to select fr-juj jituotig their active supporters, iipuest and capable -subordinates, , and they will' do it. The natural'} pride of every official in a'iair just ! administration will lead him to* select the" proper men, if they will only place themselves in the position of active reliable advocates of popular'^len and measures. They may -also determine what men and measures shall be popu-1 lar. and if they fail tbey are at least fyeebf biam^Kwr they have, discharged the tirs? dutit i o& citizenship.?Charlesip^^ Morning Chivnicle. ; ? i Pktv.vte PRAVEKjBji the morning tliS"rnind is cuS^the temptations of the day have not beset you; the duties of the "day have not tilled your mind and begun to 1 vex you.
