THE HOME JOURNAL.

Published reekly in the City Of Neo Yort ut tuo
dollars year.
On the first Of January last, commenced a
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 enivens an American
Home-New York is the great Centre, and here,
at the fountain head of novelty incident, litera-
ture and foreign news, the Home Journal is prn-
ed and published. It's editors, Geo =. Morris &
n. Il. 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 of the distinguished
public characters. In addition to this, the utmost
pains are taken, by translations from French Jour
nails 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 mt sketches
and readable criticisms, and in our CONVERSATIONS
of the fecund productions of the vast newspaper
world of England, we aim to avoid the tresomc,
and the local, and transfer to columns the pick
of English information and briancy, while we en-
dcavor to select with true sense of pure morals,
true w.t. and genuine humor. In addition to the
above, we 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
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 in London and Paris who will send us much
that could never reach us through Foreign Jour
nails. AS u New Years Present from a Gentleman
to Lady The Home Journal is one, of which
the remembrance is renewed every week, and it is
unsurpassed as gift in good taste.

CURE FOR INTEMPEANCE.--We have seldom
met with more striking instance of the un-
ion of simplicity and wisdom, for which the
Quakers are remarkable, than the following:
A man addicted to habits of intoxcation, was
suffering the usual consequences, and in mo-
ment of repentance, said he would give anything
to cure himself.
1T is as easy as to open thine hand" said a
Quaker
"Convince me of that" replied the inebriate,
"and | will persevere in the experiment"
C. When thou takest the tempting glass into
thine hand" replied the Friend, before thou
puttest the liquor to thy lips, open thine hand
and keep it open, and thou wilt be cured"
A complete reformation ensued. How sim
pie, and easy, and effectual rule! Try it.

WARNING TO BAcHELoRs-Dr. Casper of
Berlin, calculates that the mortality among
bachelors, from the age of thirty to forty-iive
years, is twenty-seven per cent while among
married men of the same age il is only lS per
cent. Out of given number, forty-one bach
elors only reach the age of forty years; seven
ty-eight married men reach that age.

HABITUAL DRUNKARDs.--A bill has been in
troduced in the Louisiana Legislature, that pro-
poses to place habitual drunkards in the same
position in regard to the management of their
family affairs, as that which the law assigns to
lunatics and minors. This, we think, is the
most severe punishment that can be inflicted on
man of sensitveness for violation of the
laws of sobriety and common morality. This
is the idea that proposes to bring the delin-
quent to his "sober second" senses The
adoption of law of that kind would 90 far TO
Danish from society the habit of drunkenness
