| founded upon actual occurrences in the vicinity OF
! New York during the Revolutionary War. With
some events anterior to and during the War of 1872
| A clergyman from Tennessee ca lied on US recent
| ly, and informed of custom of his, which we
venture to recommend to our readers, viz: to make
a subscription to the Home Journal New Years
Present to his Lady friends; for, in this way he both
gave them continued pleasure and instruction, and
was himself as the giver, agreeably brought to mind
every Saturday.
| As to the character of the Home Journal, we
could quote hundred friendly notices to sustain our
assertion that it is wholly peculiar paper. One of
the Editors, from his long residence abroad and his
intimate acquaintance with France and it's brill
liant literature is enabled to give weekly from
French papers and correspondence, a sparkling
sketch Of the amusing News and Gossip Of Paris.
Mr. Willis gives, also, at the moment of pro-
minence in public interest, personal sketches of
public characters, and takes occasion, with a
watchful eye upon the agitatons 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. translatng, describing and seek
ing out information of not only the Fashions and
Fashionable Gossip, but of the many matters that
interest the most curious to Life and Litera-
ture. While we shall present to our readers, OF
course the Facts and Outlines of all News, we shall
leave the details of politics and heavier matters to
the daily newspapers; and in noticing public
ments, we shall give only the novelty and sparkle
of Theatrical Dongs. In our literary department
we shall aim at Sketches and readable Criticism
and IN our condensations of the fecund productions
OF the vast newspaper world of England, we shall
aim to avoid the tiresome, and the local. and trans
fer to our columns the pick of English information
and brilliancy, while shall endeavor to select
with true sense of public morals true. Wit, and
genuine Humor. In short we may promise our
family patrons that in paper they shall find Ill

the rest of the week to their and pleasures,
they shall, in the Home Journal, find Saturday S
