PUBLISHED WEEKLY AT TWO DOLLARS A YEAR.
The First number of the .Ne,c Series ,rH be issued
the first Of January merit.
The Home Journal has now become universal.
There are few families Of cultivated habits few
of those who seek to enliven and make home the
most intelligent and attractive place )-who do not
now receive it. 1t is read, we believe, wherever
run the gold threads of domestic happiness and
true moral refinement, which are woven so thick
ly into the stronger and coarser web Of our coun-
try's industry and energetic prosperity. The
Home Journal is the speaker to the hearts of this
busy nation, in the hours given to happiness and
relaxation.
Our increased subscription-enables us to COM
mand both more material and more assistance than
we have heretofore used upon the paper. We are
now able to transfer some OF the merely labori-
Gus departments to other hands. This enables US
to carry out avery cherished design of our own
one of which we have long seen the value, but
which we have deferred simply and only from not
having the time and labor to do justice to it. We
now announce it, however, and will endeavour In
some measure to describe it under the head of A
NEW FEATURE.
