A FAMILY NEWSPAPER,

The First number of the Nec Series 1oH be issued on
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 enliyen 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 of the merely labori
Gus departments to other hands. This enables
to carry out very 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.

Gle is enivened, by the coming in of intelligent
man, who knows all the ne,c ideas afoat, and tells

four sentences-tells you the plan and moral of a
new book in dozen WOrds-glveS the essence OF
a sermon, the core of public speech, the key to

to do for the Home Journal for 1852. We
mean to lot down, for our readers, in the fewes1
