founded upon actual occurrences in the vicinity OF

some events anterior to and during the War of 1872"
A clergyman from Tennessee called on us recent
~, and informed us of a custom of his, (which we
venture to recommend to our readers, viz to make
subscription to the Home Journal a New Years
Present to his Lady friends for, in this way he both
gave them continued pleasure and instruction, and
himself, the yer, 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 i've 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-
minence in public interest, personal sketches OF
public characters, and takes occasion, with a
watchful eye upon the agtatons Of this great me-
tropolis, to We 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

Ladies, selecting. translatng, describing, and seek
mo out information of not only the Fashions and
! Fashionable Gossip but of the many matters that
interest the most curious as to Life and Ltera-

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 1T Sketches and readable Criticism
and, in our condensatons 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 brancy, while shall endeavor to select
with true sense of public morals, true Wit, and
genuine Humor. In short may promise our
family patrons that in our paper they shall find all
that is necessary to enable them instructvely 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 Saturday IS
