'TUIR fourth volume of the Weekly Mirror, in its
J present form, coininenced on the 11th April,
1S46 . Tlie reduction of tiie subscription price
from Three Dollar* to Two marks an era in the
histor • of thi* popular and widely circulated Jour
nal—i j- urnal which, though it hath seen many
change* tluring the twenty years of its existence,
has obtained a high ami permanent place in the
an»ais of in rican Literature. It is peculiarly
gratifying to the publisher to be. able to state that
scarcely a day now passes th it does not add to it*
subscription list, nor a mail arrive that does not
bring some favorable mention of it by contempo
rary journals.
The new and attractive feature of the present
volume i* the publication of an original Novel of
great interest, written expressly for the Mirror,
entitled
“MARY ECKAR. A SCHOOL FOR YOUNG
WIDOW'S.”
Thi* beautiful story increases in interest as it pro
gresses, and no one. whose taste has not been per
verted by high spiced fictions of Die French school,
can re.ad i single chapter without a desire for the
whole of it. Calculating on the. intrinsic e.xecl
lencc of the work to make its own popularity,
without the aid of puffing, we have laid aside a
few hundred complete sets of the present volume,
containing all th i chapters ns far as published,
and for which there it now a daily demand.
If we could only make up our mind* and our
mouth* to blow our own trumpet, we might easily
inilr - n >isc enough abultl ‘ The School (>r Ymin r
Widows* to create an excitement in the public
mind, ui<! arouse the curious in literary matters,
to a loud call for the anonymous author. Hut wc
much prefci to leavoour rentiers to find out them
selves. what i* good. without prompting. To pre
face every thing which appears in our columns
with a puff, would he. quite a* distasteful to our
selves, as insulting to (hejudgment of the reader.
No man would thank his cook to stand behind his
chair while eating, and comment upon each dish
upon the table. As'good wine needs no bush,* nnd
good deed* no praise, so good books ami good din
ners will be. sure to go down without the aid of
puffing.
I hr story ot ‘ Alary Ecknr’ is written by a ladv
altogether unknown <s an au'horep.s, who has
'brown o(T this soon la neons production as» the
flowers yield their perfume, and the birds sing
th*-ir songs, not tor money or for fame, but, as the
port sovs, • from Love’s excess’—the, natural inflo
rescence of a true woman’* heart—
‘ liy gentle feelings long subdued,
Subdued and cherished long.’
The interest of the. rdory mainly centres in the
cha-aeter of tfie heroine, Clara Anntsley, the i
daujhtor of a poor English Clergyman, who dies, I
leaving the lovely orphan alone in the world, with i
no inheritance but the fatal dower of beauty. I
I,ike all heroines she is fair and sweet and good —
like Woods worth \s
‘ fs»vely appirition sent
To be a moment’s ornament.’
She ■ names (an angel in nin tuec would be stu
pid that did not,) contrary to ' he commands of her
dying fither, and trouble commences. Btit we
mu-t d;sclose her history no fartlmr except by
weekly instilments.
In ndrliti n to tips, the Weekly Mirror is mostly
mode up of original contribution* of the highest
order of merit. Several able writers arc regularly
employed in the various departments of the paper
—and. without boasting, we may safely challenge
for the "Mirror, in its E-says, Criticisms, Original
Poetry, Domestic and Foreign Correspondence,
(tr., be., comparison with any similar journal in
the t’nited Slates. In Morals, as well as Litera

men, and all travellers by sea or land, that they
maybe resorted to on the earliest appearance of

OF WILD CHERRY.
CONSUMPTION,
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Liver Com

Pain in the Side and Breajt, Palpitation of the
Heart, Influenza, CrotiD, Broken Constitu
tion, Sore Throat, Nervous Debility, and
all Diseases ol the Throat, Breast and
Lungs; the most effectual and speedy
cure ever known for any of the
above diseases is
THE GENUINE PREPARATION,
I)R. SWaYNE’S COMPOUND SYRUP OF
WILD CHERRY.
Consumptives, or those whose lung* are affected
slightly, should take this Syrup without delay, by
which tin y may prevent the fixing of that dire dis
ease hilly anti firmly. How important then, to
avoid it. Never live a day with a cough tvhen this
Syrup can be had, and you arc nearly certain,
with prop.- r care, to avoid destruction by Consump
tion .
DR. SWAYNE’S COMPOUND SYRUP OF
WII.D CHERRY was the first preparation from
that valuable tret; which was ever introduced to the.
public, and ample proof is afforded of its success
by the country being flooded with “Balsams,”
“ Candies.” and “ Mixtures” of Wild Cherry, not
one of which is prepared by a regular ph sician,
although tin y have assumed the names of respecta
ble physicians to give currency to their “ Nos
trums.” And there is an “ Impostor” who has
come, out within a few days, with a Compound Syr
up of W iId Cherry,clinging stiilcloser to tiicot lgi
n il name, that persons might he deceived if they
did not bear hi mind the name of DR. SWAYNE
Therefore the public should be on their guard, and
not have a worthless mixture palmed upon them
for tlie original and genuine preparation, which is
only prepared by Dr. SWAYNE, N. W. Corner of
Eighth and Race streets, Philadelphia
fry-Tile public are. requested to remember that it
is Dr. Sway tie’s Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry,
that has and is repeatedly performing such mirac
ulous cures of diseases which have baffled the skill
of the Profession, and set at defiance the whole cat
alogue of Patent Medic’lies, which ate daily puffed
through the organs of the press. Therefore ask for
Dr. Swayne’s Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry,
and purchase none other.

CHALYBEATE MINERAL WATER, an active

sis of this water, will show that it stain's the first in
rank of tin- highly concentrated “Chalybealea,”_
consequently it acts as a Tonic, increasing the
strength of the system, raising the force of circu
, lation, giving tone to the digestive organs, aug
menting the muscular vigour, and promoting the
excretion#; it is of course advantageously employed
in those diseases in which Iron is principally n—d,
such as Amenorrhea, Chlorosis, some states of JV/>

In Europe this medicine Ims long enjoyed the
I reputation of curing all these troublesome com
plaints, subject to man, and in this country no in
stance of its failure hasevet been known wherever
it lias been introduced, provided the patient strict
ly adhere to the directions given.
It possesses however what may he justly called n
specific power in most constitutions, especially
when administered in the early and acute form of
the disease It moderates the inflamatory symp
toms in a shorter time, and with more certainty
than the majority of tlie nauseating nostrums now
offered to the public.
A preparation, therefore like the present one and
possessing such medical properties, must when its
virtues arc found out, prove the great dosidcrnlum
sought for, and trnm the general success attending
its use, must command a large and extensive cir

I doubted whether anv benefit could be derived, ior
ho, as well as myself, thought his ease was con

indicative. Shortly after, lie wrote me to send him
four or five bottles more. He cainc to town last

said lie, “ I am a new man, and 1 consider it a du

\\r F. have long regarded it as a most humiliating
\ reflection upon the south, that no professedly
neutral family journal has yoi been sustained with
in her borders. We. have tested the experiment
whether such a paper could not be supporti d at the
immediate South, and though not w holly unsuc
cessful, our experience has taught us that the pa
pers of this class published in tnc large Northern
cities, possess advantages over those ol the country,
which, in a mtasuro, defy competition. But here
the. case is different. Knltimoi e, standing a* it does
on the frontiei of the Southern Slates, is yet near
enough tti the great commercial, literary and po
litic al emporium, to be included in the neighbor
hood of great American oitic3, nncl to enjoy ull the
ad vantages, as a radiating point, which tire pos
sessed by either Philadelphia, Boston or New York.
A paper issued from Baltimore has all the facilities
for obtaining the latest literarv intelligence, as
well as the current literature of the day", fore! n
and domestic, that are enjoyed ly the journals'of
the Northern cities. The Western Continent is
as large, as cheap, and can he better adapted to the
want* and tastes of Southern readers, than those Nor
thern papers which now draw so laigc an amount
of their patronage from the Southern public.
Kntcrtainiug these views, we' have looked with
confidence to the success of the Coni inent. Fight
month’s experience has tended to strengthen that
confidence, and now we enter upon its publication
with a firm conviction that al! that is necessary to
secure for it a circulation equal to that of its North
ern cotcinporaries, is a laiinful and energetic de
votion or our best abilities to make it a useful and
entertaining Family Journal. It is our design to
make the \\ esteun Continent emphatically a
Southern family paper, that may be read w ith in
terrst and profit by every member of a Southern
faittily. V\ ith this view, we shall draw for our lit
erary department, from the best sources, such mat
ter as will interest and entertain the mind, with
out offending tbo taste or corrupting the morals of
our readers.
Pains will be taken lo give the latest intelligence
on all subjects of inter* si to the general reader, lo
tho exclusion of the va.-t amount ol local matte J
such as peisonal gossip, police reports, theatrical
and ojlicr criticisms, whirh make op to large a por
tion ol the staple of some of the popular weeklies
ol the North. In a word, though we shall endea
vor to make our paper interesting to all. our chieJ
aim shall be to adapt it to the wants nod tastes of
the people of the South and South-West, upon
whom, and those of otir own city who arc disposed
to sustain such a journal, we must mainly depend
for support.
Helving more upon the intrinsic incritsof our pa
per, tliun on any promises we might make in a pros
pectus, we will close by appealing to the readers of
the South and West lor a share of that patronago
which they so liberally bestow upon the overgrown
weeklies of the Nor tit.
