the government of the world. When a writer, even though treating on subjects not professedly religious, is imbued with a deep and abiding sense of reverence and love towards the author of our existence, opportunities frequently arise for infusing into his pages a portion of the spirit by which he is habitually actuated. Thus pious authors, though writing on ordinary subjects, as well as pious persons engaged in the common vocations of life, are to some extent the salt of the earth. And it may be fairly questioned, whether, in a reading community, any class of writers exercise a more permanent influence over the habits and sentiments of the rising generation, than the authors of periodicals.
If then, with the influence of periodicals for evil or good, in our view, we examine the character of many now afloat in our country, we must be convinced that there is great room for improvement. There is no inconsiderable portion of them constituted of matter which can contribute little to the advancement of their readers, either in virtue or knowledge. In some we find tedious discussions, which derive nearly all their interest from partisan dissentions, and in most of them opinions are advocated which the pious Christian would not willingly ingraft on the minds of his offspring.
The period in which we live, compared with any that has preceded it, may be emphatically denominated a reading age. Literary productions of every description, from the ponderous volume to the ephemeral sheet, are issuing from the press in rapid succession. If, when the literature of the day, in comparison with that of ours, must have been as a rivulet, contrasted with the Nile or the Ganges, the wisest of men could declare, that of making many books there was no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh, we may safely conclude that the floating literature of our time is sufficient to overwhelm the strongest intellect, and set at defiance the most indefatigable industry. Yet amidst this inundation of books, there is much to be found which is truly valuable, and, when judiciously selected, well worthy of attention, particularly from those who are in the early and middle periods of life. It is not to be expected or desired that the youth, either in or out of our religious Society, should grow up in ignorance of the events which are transpiring around them, or of the improvements in morals, in science, or the arts, which the ingenuity of our cotemporaries is bringing into view. To preserve a tolerable acquaintance with the events of our time, as they arise, recourse must be had to the periodicals of the day. It is therefore an object of rational desire, that these should be purged of everything which is likely to corrupt the principles, or deteriorate the moral sensibilities of their readers. There is a propensity It is designed to defend and uphold the great in the susceptible minds of the young, not only to principles, both in theory and practice, which the adopt the sentiments, but to imbibe the spirit of the Society of Friends, from their rise to the present authors whose works they are in the habit of reading. time, have professed and maintained.

Impressed with a belief that the present condition of this country, and particularly of the Society to which he belongs, calls for the publication of a periodical conducted upon a plan somewhat different from any now extant among us, the subscriber is induced to offer to the public a weekly paper of which the following is an outline.
