THE HOME JOURNAL.


Published veekly in the City Of Nev York at tuo
dollars year.
On the first of January last commenced q
New Series of this copious comprehensive and ell
egantly printed Family Newspaper, which is now
acknowledged to be the indispensable drawing
room gazette of the country. A home is hardly
complete, we think we may safely venture to say,
without the Home Journal, which is the chronicle
of all that interests all classes of Society, and of
the Intelligence which most enlivens an American
Home.-New York is the great Centre and here,
ut the fountain head of novelty, incident, litera
ture, and foreign news, the Home Journal is prin-
ed and published Its editors, Geo. z. Morris &
n. p. Willis,) devote their entire time, skill and
experience to the task of giving each week, every
thing worth knowing. They particularly keep an
eye OH all the Whims and Novelties of New York
Society, presenting sketches of the Bellies of our
Time and careful portraits Of the distinguished
public characters. In addition TO this, the utmost
pains arc TAKEN by translations from French Jour
mails, and by Foreign Correspondence, to prepare
the reports of Fashionable Gossip of Paris, as will
exceedingly instruct and amuse. We present
to our readers the facts and outlines of all
In our literary department, we aim at sketches
and readable criticisms, and in our CONVERSATIONS
of the fecund productions of the vast newspaper
world of England we aim to avoid the tiresOme,
and the local. and transfer to columns the pick
of English information and brilancy, while we en-
deavor to select with a true sense of pure morals,
true wit. and genuine humor. In addition to the
above propose to give, In the course fthe COM
ing volume, one entirely new feature, which we
think will particularly interest the Ladies, viz -
A Series of Returned Love Letters. This being
species of composition that interests all readers,
we trust to make the numbers of the Home Jour
nal more eagerly looked for, and more carefully
preserved than ever. We have also new correspon-
dents i'm London and Paris who will send us muth
that could never reach us through Foreign Joiir
nails As a New Years Present from a Gentleman
to Lady. The Home Journal is one of which
the remembrance is renewed every week, and ills
unsurpassed gift in good taste.

Gaylord Clark, will commence its 39th volume with
the number for January, 1852. With the New Vol
ume the price will be reduced from Five to Three
Dollars year or 25 cents per number The con-
tents of the Knickerbocker are entirely original,
and its character is sufficiently established to- rem
der any remarks upon il unnecessary. The pub.
Usher has been led to reduce the price of subscfp
ton from a. knowledge of the fact that thousands
who wished TO read the Knickerbocker were kept
from its pefusal solely account of the expense,

CURE FOR RIEEt MtTISM.

This distressing maladv is common to the
climate of New En9Ianc. where the changes
of the weather are sudden and extreme. But
if the disease Is frequent. the remedies are
numerous Pills and lotions. bii,tcrs, catap-
lasn> and pla>tcrS, are alternately prescribe
cd and administered externally or internally;
a strict regimen is adhered to. and the pa
ricnt is absolutely dclurrd with strong de
coy,iOn Of nauSrou> weeds. called hnj drihE.
Whether these various remedies countcract
each other. we do not know; but it is seldom
the prosecuted patient derives relief from
their application. His patience and the di,-
case run race with each other. and the odds
are that his patience reaches the goal first
Captain Cock, the celebrated circumnavi-
gator, describes a cure for this complaint
which is practi>cd among the OtahcitanS. It
ought TO be general known. that in dc>pcr-
ate cases the experiment may i:e tried.
While living in harbor in the island Of
Otaheitc he was troubled with severe rhcu-
matte pain, which extended from the hip to
the ankle. As soon as the circumstances was
known on shore. numerous body OF women

vices in curing the disorder. lie ACCEPTED
their friendly offer, and submitted with a GOOD
Grace to their directions lie was requested
to Law down. when all who could oct near him
began to squeeze him with both hands all o.
yer the body, but more particularly in the
parts complained OF, til they made his bones
crack, and his flesh became almost a mummy
He suffered this severe discipline for about a
quarter Of an hour, when he was happy to get
away from them. But the operation gave
him immediate relief, and encouraged him tc
have it repeated before he went to bed and
il was 50 cffcctual that he found himself easy
the whole night after. His female physicians
oblgingly repeated their prescription the
next mornng,and again in the evening, when
the cure was completely effected.
4 The beneficial effect which is sometimes
derived from the use OF the tie<h brush. is well
known But this squeezing and pinchin9
opcration. called by the natives romeo, seem.
to be more effective than any other kind of
external friction, and is universally prartlscc
among the islanders. If at any time person
appears Ian.uid and tired, and sits down, the
