THE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE,
for 1845.
edited ny john inman and robert a. west.
Prospectus for the Second Year.
At the close of his second volume, the magazine
lhaving been commenced on the first of January,
1844, the publisher finds himself irresistably call
ed on to express the satisfaction and gratitude
"with which he has been filled by the brilliant and
"unexampled success that has attended his endea
vors to win the .public favor. Notwithstanding
the difficulties, disappointments and vexations that
almost invariably follow the establishment of a
new periodical, in the production of which there
must be the harmonious co-operation of many
heads and many hands notwithstanding occasion
al short-comings, especially in the pictorial de
partment, which no care or diligence could avert
-and no expenditure prevent, the Columbian Mag
azine has gone on steadily increasing in support
and popularity fiom the opening number, and if
the unbought unsolicited testimony of the press
may be received as unswayed by partiality and
unbiassed by friendship, the efforts of contributors
and editors have been satisfactory to the public
and accepted as fulfilling the promises made for
them at the commencement of the enterprise.
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 gon
eral literature ; that notwithstanding the failure of
many previous attempts to establish such a work,
there could be no impossibility of success with
sufficient capital, perseverance and the right sys
tem of management both by publisher and editor;
stimulated by this conviction he embarked in the
enterprize and the result of the first year has proved
lhathis judgment was correct.
It has long ceased to be necessary, or reasona
ble, that we should speak of the Columbian as an
experiment. At all events, it is now an experi
ment substantially tried. We feel ourse'ves upon
as firm a basis as any similar journal in the world.
Our principal cares now regard not so much the
securing what ground we have gained (for we con
sider this sufficiently secure) as the extension of
our sphere of action and utility not so much, even,
the mere enlargement of our subscription-list, as
the most suitable modes of catering for the amuse
ment and shall we say occasionally for the prof
it 1) of our subscribers in the present and in the
future the many whom we have, and the many
more we shall undoubtedly have as time rolls ou.
We have made arrangements which will enable
us to present our friends with embellishments of
very superior taste, style and finish. In this re
spect it is our firm purpose, if possible, to outvie
all competition. Our music and engravings, we
confidently believe, will not be equalled very cer
tainly they shall not .be surpassed in real merit,
by those of any other magazine. We propose to
give, each month, two or more superb engravings,
independently of two pages of music by the most
eminent composers, and plate of authentic fashions.
Regarding the literary and editorial conduct of
the Columbian, the publisher does not feel called
upon to say more than a very few words. The
general managementof this department is confided
to the gentleman who has hitherto given abundant
evidence, not only of the highest ability to put
forth a meritorious magazine and one exactly
adapted to the tastes of all readers, with whom is
associated another gentleman of ability and expe
rience. The publisher, therefore, has every con
fidence that what has already been done for the
literary value of this journal, will be done again.
We are perfectly willing that our future in this re
spect should be estimated by our past. The sub
joined list of those who have furnished articles for
the Columbian during the by gone year, will sat
isfy, we feel assured, the most fastidious, that we
aie resolute to spare, in no particular, either ex
ertion or expense.

With the aid of these contributors (of whom it
is needless to say one word in the way of commen
dation) and of numerous others, perhaps equally
meritorious if less celebrated, who have promised
us their support, we flatter ourselves that, as a lit
erary work, the Columbian need be under no ap
prehension of being excelled.
But what we have done is already before the
public, who will pot fail to judge of us with im
partiality ; and in respect to-what we intend to do,
it will be both wiser and more becoming (although
less fashionable not to boast.) We may be per
mitted to assure our friends in brief, however, that
we have matured numerous plans (for the Third
Volume) with which we feel 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.
Dealers in periodicals throughout the United
States and the Canadas, who wish to become
agents for the Columbian Magazine, will please
apply to the publisher immediately. The usual
discount, will be made to them.

Spitting of Blood,
Night sweats and pain in the Side.
Jonathan Haworth, Esq. the well known Tem
perance Lecturer, was attacked with a cold frortf
sleeping in damp sheets, in the winter of 1841. lie
neglected it at first, but soon found it assuming 6
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resoited lii
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other, until he had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant, so that he could get little orn.i
sleep attended with pain in his side, spitting of
blood, night sweats, and all the usual symptoms of
Consumption. While at Rome, (N Y) he felt that,
his end was nigh that In that place he must soon
end his journey of lite. .Providentially, a lady
who visited him advised a trial of Dr Sherman's
Cough Lozenges. He accordingly sent and gou
box, and the hrst dose gave him more reliet than
all the other medicines he used before. By the
time he had taken one small box, he was able to
start for the city of New York, and in three weeks'
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health.
He often announces the fact to his hearers, wier.

Coughs The variableness of the weather this
winter has caused an unusual number of persons
to be afflicted by colds and coughs scarcely a
family has escaped: and with manw carelessness
in attending to a .cough, has laid the foundation for
consumption. Our family has not escaped m
general affliction, but owing to a remedy usw
for the first time, they were speedily cured. Sher
man's Couch Lozentres. which we were induced
