founded upon actual occurrences in the vicinity OF
New York during the Revolutionary War. With
some events anterior to and during the War of1sl2
A clergyman from Tennessee called on us recent
ly, and informed us of custom of his, (which we
venture to recommend to 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
assertion that it is wholly peculiar paper. One of
the Editors from his long residence abroad and his
intimate acquaintance with France and its brill
liant literature, is enabled to give weekly from
French papers and correspondence, sparkling
sketch of the amusing News and Gossip of Paris.
MIR. Willis gives, also, at the moment of pro-
public characters, and takes occasion, with
watchfu eye upon the agitations Of this great me-
tropolls to give graphic sketches Of the stirring
scenes in New-York. Weintend, hereafter to give,
more attention to feature of our paper, and
make continuous what we have found occasionally
very attractive, viz: Chronicle of the News for
Ladies, selecting translating, describing, and seek
ing out information of not only the Fashions and
Fashionable Gossi p, but of the many matters that
interest the sex 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 amuse-
ments, we shall give only the novelty and sparkle
of Theatrical Doings. In our literary department,
we shall aim at Sketches and readable Criticism,
and in our CONVERSATIONS of the fecund productions
OF the vast newspaper world of England, we shall
aim to avoid the tresome, and the local and trans
fer to our columns the pick of English information
and brlancy, while we shall endeavor to select
with a true sense of public morals, true Wit, and
genuine Humor. In short may promise
family patrons that in paper they shall find all
that is necessary to enable them instructivey to
keep pace with the world and while they devote
the rest of the week to their cares and pleasures
they shall, in the Home Journal find Saturdays
Review of the w orld's Progress.
