THE
Columbian Magazine,
' i " ' FOU 1845. .
Prospectus t'OR the Second Year.
At the close of his second volume, th
magazine having been commenced on th
first of January, 184t,the publisher find
himself irresistibly called on to express i h s
satisfaction and gratitude with which h
has been filled by the brilliant and unex
ampled success that has attended his endea
vors to win the public favor. Notwith
standing the difficulties, disappointments
and vexations that almost invariably fo
low the establishment of a new periodica
in the production of which there must
the harmonious co operatton ot many
heads and many hands notwithstanding
occasionally short-comings, especially
....
the pictorial department, which no care or
diligence could avert and no expenditure
O t
prevent, the Columbian Magazine has .gone
on steadilv increasing in suoDori and poi
ularity from-the opening number, and if
jress may be received as unswayen ny
partiality and unbiassed by friendship, tne
efforts of contributors and editor have been
satisfactory to the public and accepted as
fulfilling the promises made for them it
the commencement ol the enterprise. I
The publisher undertook the work with
a firm conviction that the great city of
New York was the best and the true home
for a magazine "of general literature; that
notwithstanding the failure of many previ
ous attempts to establish such a work, there
could be no impossibility of success wiui
sufficient capital, perseverance and trie
right system of management both by pub
lisher and editor; stimulated by this con
victjon he embarked in the enterprise and
the result, of the first year has proved that
his judgment was correct. , I
It has long ceased to be necessary or
reasonable, that we should speak of tne
Columbian as an exnenment. At all
.
events, it is now an experiment substant
ally tried. We feel ourselves upon as lir
a basis as any similar journal in the won
Our- principle cares now regard t
much the sectiring what ground we have
gained (for we consider this sufficiently
secure) as the extension of our sphere of
action and utility not so much, even, the
mere enlargement of our subscription lis,
as the most suitable modes of- catering- fcr
the amusement (and shall we say occasion
,aly for the profit?) of our subscribers in
the present and in the ruture the many
whom we have, and the many more we
shall undoubtedly have as lime rolls on, I
" We have made arrangements-which will,
enable us to present our friends with errU
bellishments of very superior taste, style
and finish. In this respect it is our firm
purpose, if possible, to outvie all competi
tion. Our rousic and engravings, we cori-
fidently believe, will not be equalled very
certainly thejr shall riot be surpassed in
real merit 'by those of any other' maga
zine. We propose to give each month
two or more superb engravings, indepen
dently of two pages of music, by the most
eminent composers, and a plate of auther -tic
fashions. . ;
Regarding theiliterary and editorial cor -duct
of the Columbian, the publisher doe s
not feel called upon to say more than a v!
ry few words. The general managemer t
of this department is, as heretofore, entrus
ted to a gentleman possessing every qual
ficatioq for the task, and ; who has givei
abundarjt 'evidence, not only of the highes t
ability to put forth a oieiilorious magazine,
ty-t of the ability to put forth a magazine
Wactly adapted to the tastes of our readers.
The publisher, therefore, has everv r.,4
S dence that what has already be done fcfr
.ucrary vame oi ir.ef- journal will be
MV1,can.; we are perfectly willing ths t
future in this repecl shall be e$m
ed by our past. The subjoined1 list T
j.uose who have furnished articles for the
voinibian during the bv-eone. trear wi I
satisfy, we feel assured, the most fastrdiou
tnat we are resolute to spare in no particu-
.r nenher exertion or expense.

, VVith the aid of these contributors, (o!
whom it is needless to say one, vvoitl in the
way of commendation.) and of numerous
others perhaps equally meritorious if less
celebrated, who have promised u their
support, we flatter ourselves -that, .as a liter
ary work, the Columbian need be under no
apprehenyion of being excelled.
i But,what yve have done is already be-
lore the public, who will not fail to itiflge
the unbought unsolicited testimony of tHe with impartiality 5 and in respect to what
we intend to do, it will be both wiser anl
more becoming (allho' less fashionable) not
tb boast We may be prmittd to assure
our fi iends in brief, hovever, that we have
matured numerous plans (for the third vol
ume) with which We fe'el confident they will
be pleased. It is our purpose to put forth
every" energy; and it will be no fault of our
own if the Columbian shall not be found at
least equal to any magazine, of any class
or price, in America.

WORDS ARE THINGS.
In an hour of mirthful gladness, j
When glee was unrepressed, 1
1 wounded one I dearly loved,
VVith thoughtless words of jest
I knew not then how bitterly
A random trifle stings;
But learned with pain when grief was Vain
To know that words were thing.
Look backward o ef thy bygone years,
The morning of thy day
Where childhood's smiles, and childhoods
tears,
; Together fall ;and play;
And every pleasure, every pain,
That thoughtful memory brings,
Will only deepen on thy heart,
The tzuth that Words are things
Call hope to gild thy future '
VVith gifts most bright and rarej
And words of promise will be found,
The brightest even there;
How far beyond all other hopes,
To these devotion clings;
And whispers with an anient tongue,
That wordS are precious things.
Then while thy life is full of joy,
And pleasures woo thy soul,
Accept and Use their loveliest gifts,;
Guided by self control:
W hether amidst thy household duties,
Or where mirth her music lings,
Keep thou a watch before, thy lipSj
Remember "words are things. " ;
