ORIGINAL NOVEL,
of great and peculiar interest, from distinguished
American pen, entitled Passages m tie LIE Of q
Refugee of the Rerogution or Cruise aa Old Sailor;
Logged from the Rccollectons Of a Landsman
founded upon actual occurrences in the vicinity OF
New York during the Revolutionary War. With
some events anterior to and during the War OF l2
| A clergyman from Tennessee called on us recent
w. and informed us Of a custom of his, which we
venture to recommend to our readers, viz: to make
a subscr;ption 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 g yer, agrceabiy 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 a 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.
Nh 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-
tropos, to give graphic sketches Of the stirring
scenes in New-York. We intend, hereafter, to give
more attention to feature of our paper, and
make continuous what we have found occasionally
very attractive, viz A Chronicle of the News for
Ladies, selecting, translang, 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 Ltera-
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 anuse-
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 CONVERSATIONS of the fecund productions
! of the vast newspaper world of England, we shall
aim to avoid the tiresome and the local, and tire rs
! fer to cur columns the pick of English informal on
and brilliancy, while we shall endeavor to select
with true sense of public morals, true Wit, and
genuine Humor. In short may promise our
family patrons that in paper they shall tlnd all
! that is necessary to enable them insructively to
/ keep pace with the world; and while they devote
the rest of the week to their and pleasures,
| they shall, IN the Home Journal find Saturday s
Review OF the Worlds Progress.
! To remedy the evil so much complained OF, VIZ:
bad print and unsghly paper, the proPretors Of the
Home Journal have determined, at any outlay OF
care and cost. to produce an Ornamental Parlor
Newspaper. And unusual price is paid for the beau
full paper it is printed on, the type is entirely new
and the printing done upon the presses of an Of

| the most elegant.
