"a good wife," says a western editor, is
one who puts her husband at the side of the
bed next the wall, and tucks him up to keep
him warm in the winter, splits the wood, makes
the fire in the morning, washes her husbands
face, and draws on his boots for him, never
scolds, never suffers rent to remain in her hus-
bands small clothes, keeps her shoes up at the
heel, and her stockings darned, never wonders
what her husband sees interesting in the young
woman who lives across the way, never slams
the door loud when her husband is speaking and
always reproves the children when they eat
their fathers supper

Reading lengthens the range of the senses
from few feet to infntude. In these times,
not to know how to read is to be comparative
ly deaf and blind. A paragraph in an English
paper illustrates this remark =" Although the
loss of the Amazon has been daily proclaimed
and noticed in every newspaper throughout
England, persons most deeply interested in the
event who live in the vicinity of Southampton,
are even now ignorant of the calamity 1t was
only on Monday that the committee learned
that there was widow with nine orphan chill
dren, who had claims on them, living at Deer
Leap, few miles from Southampton, in the
New Forest. Thousands of the wives and chill
dren of poor seamen cannot read or write, and
thousands can never enjoy the luxury of read
ing newspaper" The loss of the Amazon, it
appears, has made one hundred children father
less. The subscription for their relief amount
to thirty thousand dollars.

THE HOME JOURNAL.

Published ,ceekly in the City of NeW York at two
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 enlivens 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 prin-
ed and published. Its editors, Geo. p. Morris &
n. 2. 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 Whms 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 TRANSACTIONS 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 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 tiresome,
and the local, and transfer to columns the pick
of English information and brilliancy. while we en-
deavor TO select with true sense of pure morals.
true wit, and genuine humOr. In addition to the
above we propose to give, in the course of the CON-
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 New Years Present from a Gentleman
to Lady. The Home Journal is one, of which
the remembrance is renewed every week, and tits
unsurpassed as gift in good taste.
