Published every Saturday, by Wilson & C ■>., 162, Nassau-street, New Y’ork, AT THREE DOLI.AKS PER ANNUM IN Ad 4 4J/5. . Upon entering the second volume of Jhis pioneer in the introduction of newspapers l of its class, the publishers may be excused’ for congratulating themselves upon the con tinued prosperity and advancement of their periodical, from its first number to the pre sent time Aware that competition is the life of business, they expected, and have met with rivals—those rivals have, so far, been essential aids to the publicity and cir culation of the JONATHAN. New rea ders have been made,where comparatively, S few existed before, and the taste created Ipr the elegant literature of tge tttd fiefriis-’ phere, carried into all parts of the fcountry,’ and accessible to all, has produced a de mand for the BROTHER JONATHAN, which it is gratifying to stateis constantly on the increase. • With such addition to their resources and emoluments, the publishers have aimcjl to give a commensurate increase to the va lue and interest of their sheet. In to the labors of the gentlemen whose names’ are announced as editors, the publishers'* avail themselves constantly on the in crease. For the foreign correspondence of the JONATHAN the services of Isaac C, Pray, jr., have been engaged ; and hisYlie literary taste will also be exercised in 1 the selection of things rare, new, and worthy, in the European literary mart. Selections from the cream of the foreign magazines will, of coursejibe continued. In the progress of improvement, anew feature lias been added to the BROTHER JONATHAN —the publication ol new and popular Music. Every paper will contain something in this way, new and pleasant; reference being had in the selec tion, rather to such pieces as all can sing and play, than to recherche compositions, suited only to the scientific. Anew font, of music type has been purchased, and a gentleman engaged to superintend this de partment, of excellent experience and knowledge of Music.
