THE HOME JOURNAL.

Published aoeekly in the City Of -New York at t,eo
dollars year.
On the first of January last, commenced
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,
at the fountain head of novelty, incident, ltera
ture and foreign news, the Home Journal is prin-
ed and published. It's editors, Geo. p. 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 on all the Whims and Novelties of New York
Society," presenting sketches of the Bellies Of our
Time, and careful portraits If the distinguished
public characters. In addition to this, the utmost
pains are taken, by TRANSACTIONS from French Jour-
nals 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 news.
In our literary department, we aim at sketches
and readable criticisms, and in our condensationS
of the fecund productions of the vast newspaper
world of England we aim to avoid the tresome,
and the local. and transfer to our columns the pick
of English information and brilliancy, while we en-
deavor to select with true sense of pure morals,
true w.t. and genuine humor. In addition to the
above, propose to give, in the course ofthe COM
ing volume, one entirely new feature which we
think will particularly interest the Ladies, viz -
A Series Of Returned Love Letters This being q
species of composition that interests all readers,
we trust to make the numbers the Home Jour-
nal more eagerly looked for, and more carefully
preserved than ever. We have also new correspon-
dents in London and Paris, who will send us much
that could never reach as through Foreign Jour-
nails. AS a New Years Present from Gentleman
to Lady. The Home Journal is one, of which
the remembrance is renewed every week, and tits
unsurpassed as gift in good taste.

A Washington paper says: San industri-
Gus friend has lately returned from two years
residence in California, having made twenty
thousand doars-in experience; and bringing
home with him sixty two cents! He repre-
sents that upwards of thirty thousand men at
the placers would have left the country when
he did, but they had not the funds to pay their
way. The gentleman to whom we refer work
ed early and late, sometimes up to his waist in
water, and at others his whole body exposed to
burning sun. The toll was worse than canal
ing, with not 1.-THE of the comforts appertan-
ing to that humble pursuit."

MATURING CoRN--H. Jones Brooke, ESQ.,,
communicates to the March number Of the
Farm Journal, an experiment in applying man.
ure, or "poudrette," which costs thirty cents
per bushel, to patch of corn planted on a
piece of poor soil. He put about gill in a hill,
dropped the corn thereon, and found the follow
ing result in the harvest. On the first four
rows MANFRED, he had twenty baskets full OF
well matured corn; on the first without man.
ure, fourteen baskets of inferior corn; on the
third four rows MANFRED, nineteen; on the next
four rows not MANFRED, fourteen baskets OF
same quality as before, and so on throughout
which shows the great advantage of manuring
corn in the hill.

THE LITTLE SLEEPER.

BY j.. CLEMENT.
Few the days the fair one numbered,
Ere were closed his lustrous eyes;
And he calmly, sweetly slumbered,
Like cherub from the skies.
From the body, frail and sickly,
In the solemn hush of night,
Stole the spirit, soft and quickly,
Back to native realms of light
Still the sweet one, unawaken'd,
Dreamed and smiled when night had fled,
Knowing not the soul had taken
Wings, and up to glory sped.
Folded on his heaveless bosom,
Slight his ivory hands were pressed;
And thus slept the heavenly blossom,
Truant from the Land of Rest.

The Knckerbocker Magazine, edited by Louis
Gaylord Clark, will commence its 39th volume with
the number for January 1852. With the New Vol
ume the price will be reduced from Fire 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 it unnecessary. The pub
Usher has been led TO reduce the price of subscrp
ton from a knowledge of the fact that thousands
who wished to read the Knickerbocker were kept
from its perusal solely on account of the expense,
and he believes that many more who purchase
without regard to quality, so much as quantity,
will by low price be induced to become acquain-
ted with Knickerbocker, and thus become its
steady patrons. There will be no change In the
form, size or character of the Magazine except q
change always continued for the better. The terms
will be in future
