PETER FARLEY HIMSELF,
who, from his long absence from that field of
usefulness in which he was so successful, has
been thought by many to have altogether ren-
quished his labors of love and duty-wil resume
his pen, and, with fresh vigor, engage in the new
enterprise TO which he has been called by the en-
treaties of both parents and children. Since his
young readers last heard from him. he has travel.
led the world over, and brought home BUDGET
OF adventures, facts and incidents and the
Youths Gazette will be the medium through
which they will be communicated.
The name of ''PETER FARLEY" will be puar.
anty for the pure moral tone which will pervade
every sentence of the new periodical. Every
thing like sectional, sectarian or political bias will
be seduously avoided. The Edinburgh Review
has said of him, that, ''no other writer for the
young possesses III so eminent degree the facul.
~ OF combining the useful with the entertaining"
1t is believed that the readers of his Gazette will
admit the justice of this observation.
PETER PARLEy's YoUTn's GAZETTE will. on
and after the eighth Of January next, be issued ON
Saturday mornings,

No. 30 Ann street, New York.
