A GEM.-The following beautiful stanzas are a
literal translation from the German, and embody
a truthful sentiment SO delicately expressed, that
we commend them to the hearts of our numerous
readers. Let each one make the language his
own, and see if the response of the poets heart
finds not an echo in his inmost soul
"My heart bid thee answer
How are loves marvels wrought?
Two hearts to one pulse beating,
Two spirits to one thought
And tell me how love cometh
1t s-unsought-unsent!
And tell me how love goeth?
THAT was not love which Went!"

THE HOME JOURNAL

Published peeltly in the City Of New York at tuo
dollars u 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. 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, lltera-
ture, and foreign news, the Home journal is prln-
ed and published. Its editors, ( Geo. L. Morris q
n. p. Wiis,) 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 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 our readers, the facts and outlines of all news.
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 our columns the pick
of English information and brlliancy, 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 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 New Years Present from Gentleman
to Lady. The Home Journal is one, of which
the remembrance is renewed every week, and tbs
unsurpassed as gift in good taste.

THE PROBLEM SOLVED" The earth is round
my son." said Mr.. Slow impressively, taking an
apple from Abimeleck's hand and held it up be-
tween his thumb and finger, sand revoves on
its own axle-tree round the sun, just as any ma
chine you ever see. The earth is made up of
land and water and rocks, besides negotiations
upon trees, and things growing The noun
tains upon the service of the earth are very high
more than half mile, should think; some
Of 'em are called white mountains, because they
amt black. The ocean is very deep, and some
folks think it hasn't got no bottom; this is all
CANNON; every thing has got bottom, my
son. The reason they don't find it is, cause the
world is round. They throw their sinker over
board and it goes right through one side, like
this thrusting his knife through the apple)-
and hangs down underneath, just so, of course,
they can't find bottom" Mr.. Slow gave his boy
the apple, land turned round, much satisfied with
himself.

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 knowledge of the fact that thousands
who wished to read the Knickerbocker were kept
from its perusal solely 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 acquan-
ted with Knickerbocker, and thus become It's
steady patrons. There will be no change in the
form, size or character of the Magazine except a
change always continued for the better The terms
