THE HOME JOURNAL.


Published aceekly in the City Of Ne,o York at tuo'
dollars u 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. home is hardly
complete, we think we may safely ventureto say,
without the Home Journal, which is the chronicle
of all that interests all classes of Society, and of
the intelligence which most envens an American
HOme.-New York is the great Centre, and here,
at the fountain head of novelty, incident litera
turc, and foreign news, the Home Journal is prin
ed and published Its editors, Geo. p Morris &s
n. =. Wis,) 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 arc 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 briliancy, 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 the 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.

her own paper. The Resolve under consideration
was as follows:
