THE HOME JOURNAL.-The Home

WI h HUME JOURNAL.-Ine Home
l. Journal has now become UNIVERSAL
There are few families Of cultivated habits
flew Of those who seek to enliven and
make home the most intelligent and at
tractive place who do not now receive it.
1t is read we believe, wherever run the gold
threads Of domestic happiness and true
moral refinement, which are woven so thick
ly into the stronger and coarser web Of our
country's industry and energetic prosperity.
The Home Journal is the speaker to the
hearts of this busy nation, In the hours
given to happiness and relaxation.
Our increased subscription enables US to
command both more material and more
assistance than we have heretofore used
upon the paper. We are now able to trans
fer some of the merely laborious department
to other hands. This enables US to carry
out very cherished design of our OWL
one of which we have long seen the value,
but which We have deferred, simply and
only from not having the time and labor to
do justice to it. We now announce it,
however, and will endeavor in some mea-
sure to describe it under the head Of
A NEW FEATURE.
Every one knows how tea-tsble or even
ing circle is enlivened, by the coming in Of
an intelligent man, who knows all the new
ideas afeat, and tells them briefly, happy,
and off hand, in the way of ordinary con-
versation.
Such person gives you the substance
of all the daily papers, in three or four
sentences-tells you the plan and moral of
new book in dozen words+gives the
essence of sermon, the core q public
speech, the key to public Character, the
spirit of an article in a review, he novelty
in fashion, the last turn in politics-all
briefly, and all without detail pr fummery
leaving it with you, as MARTIAL for your
own discussion and gossip. We mean to
jot down, for readers, in tb fewest words
possible, every new idea tbt falls In our
way. AS we read, as peote drop in and
talk, as we look about in OF walks, we shall
be on the lookout for ides and novelties
giving them in the briefes shape under the
head of MEMS. or GOSSIP
Formerly we used to u such memoranda
aside, to write about ifFe should find time
now, we shall give tFm to our readers,
to discuss for themselts, In this way, the
subscriber to the HON Journal will stand
a chance to get hold, some way or other,
of every new idea ths is going.

Portraits Of public haracters, descriptions
of stirring events ! New York, news of
fashion and mantrs, phases Of gay and
literary society, ~ new fun or folly-in |

mention, hover, what our readers we'll |
understand, TT we take care also to
chronicle ambulance every interest of
benevolence ID moral Improvement, and
strive hard temake the Home Journal no
less useful 81 improving than it is enter
