An Acquisition.--Our readers will share in the pleasure with which it
is announced, that JOSEPH R. CHANDLER, Esq., the accomplished writer,
and former editor of "_The United States Gazette_," will hereafter be
"_one of us_" in the editorial management of Graham's Magazine. There
are few writers in the language who equal, and none excel Mr. Chandler
in graceful and pathetic composition. His sketches live in the hearts
of readers, while they are heart-histories recognized by thousands in
every part of the laud. An article from Mr. Chandler's pen may be
looked for in every number, and this will cause each number to be
looked for anxiously.
Editors Looking Up.--It is expected that an early number of "Graham"
will be graced with a portrait of our distinguished rival of the
"Lady's Book," that gentleman having "in the handsomest manner," as
they say in theatricals, sat for a picture of his goodly countenance
and proportions. At our command this has been transferred to steel, to
be handed over to the readers of "Graham," by Armstrong, an artist
whose ability is a fair warrant for a fine picture. Now if any of our
fair readers fall in love with Godey, we shall take it as a formal
slight, and shall insist upon having our face _run_ through an edition
of a magazine, to be gazed at and loved by thousands of as fine
looking people as can be crowded upon a subscription book.
W. E. TUCKER, ESQ.--We are very much gratified to be able to state,
that an arrangement has been made by the proprietors of "Graham" with
Mr. W. E. Tucker, whose exquisite title-pages and other gems in the
way of engraving are familiar to our readers, and that _for the year
1849, he engraves exclusively for Graham's Magazine_.
This is but the beginning of arrangements proposed to revive the
original splendor of the pictorial department of this magazine, while
the literary arrangements are in the same style of liberality which
has ever distinguished "Graham." "There is a good time a-coming boys"
in 1849.
Sketches From Europe.--In the present absorbing state of affairs
abroad, it will please our readers to know, that we have engaged an
accomplished writer to furnish sketches of European manners, events
and society, such as escape the daily journals, for the pages of the
magazine. These sketches will occasionally be illustrated with
engravings of scenery and persons taken on the spot, and cannot fail
to add to the value of "Graham."
Gems From Late Readings.--We shall introduce into the next number of
Graham a department which we think cannot fail to be of interest, by
selections from authors which it is not possible for all the readers
of Graham to have seen. Culling such passages as may strike us in our
reading as worthy of wide circulation and preservation.
