venture to recommend to our readers viz: to make
"a subscription to the Home Journal New Years

gave them continued pleasure and instruction. and
was himself as the gver, agreeaby brought to mind
every Saturday.
As to the character of the Home Journal, we
could quote hundred friendly notices to sustain
assertion that it is wholly peculiar paper One of
the Editors, from his long residence abroad, and his
intimate acquaintance with France and its bril-
liant literature, is enabled to give weekly from
French papers and correspondence, sparkling
sketch of the amusing News and Gossip OF Paris.
Mr.. Willis gives, also, at the moment OF pro-
mnence in public interest, personal sketches OF
public characters, and takes occasion, with
watchful eye upon the agtatons Of this great me-
tropols, to give graphic sketches Of the stirring
scenes in New-York. We intend, hereafter, to give
more attention to one feature of our paper, and
make continuous what we have found occasionally
very attractive, viz: A Chronicle of the News for
Ladies, selecting, transating, describing and seek
| ing out information of not only the Fashions and
! Fashionable Gossip but Of the many matters that
interest the most curious as to Life and Litera-
ture. While we shall present to readers, of
course, the Facts and Outlines of all News, we shall

genuine Humor. In short we may promise our
family patrons that in our paper they shall lind all
that is necessary to enable them nstructiyeIy to
keep pace with the world; and while they devote
the rest of the week to their and pleasures.
