OsslAS's BARDs,-Ths band of sweet
singers under the direction of Mr.. Ossian
f.. Dodge, gave one Of their entertainments
at Bellevue Hall on Tuesday evening. 1t
is rarely that our citizens have an opporu-
nifty of hearing such ccomplished, musicians
as the Bards' arc,and we regret that positive
engagements in other places, prevented a
repetition of the Concert. The Hall was
filled to overfowing, and the audience by
their frequent and hearty applause, manifest
their enjoyment Of the Programme.

become wet if the liydromagen il inserted.
Ladies may wear the lightest soled boots or
shoes in the most inclemcnt weather with
lmpunity while Consumption, so prevalent
among the young Of our country, may be
thwartcd by their general adoption; They
entirely supercede 0rer-ShOes, as the latter
cause the feet To perspirc in very unheal-

india rubbcrs While the latter cause the
feet to appear extremely large, the Hydro
magen, being mere thin slice Of cork pre-
pared, peculiarly placed inside, does not in
crease the size Of the boot, or cause the
foot to apper untidy. To Children they
are extremely valuable, as they may engage
IN exercises with comfort and healthy effects.
Their expense is so slight MS TO scarce need

will find their yearly Doctors bills much d.

New subscribers can be supplied from that

necessary for such as desire to begin with
the beginning. A home is hardly complete,
We think We may safely venture to say,
without the Home Journab which, besides
being chronicle of the times, abounds in
intelligence designed TO enliven an Ameri-
can Home. Its editors Geo p, Morris and
N. p. Willis) devote their entire time, skill
and experience, to the task of giving each
week, everything worth knowing. They
particularly keep an eye on all the whims
aud novelties of the day. The utmost pains
are taken to present the facts and outlines
of all news. In the literary department,
we aim at sketches and readable criticism,
and in our condensations of the productions
of the vast newspaper world of Europe, we
endeavor to avoid the tiresome and the TO-
cal, and transfer to our columns the pick of
English information and trilliancy, while
we endeavor to select with true sense of
pure morals, true wit, and genuine humor.
In addition to the above, we have made new
arrangements for feature that IL always
attractive in n family journal. From seve-
raj different sources We arc to be supplied
with the ne,os and gossip of Ne,o York So
c'ety. In a metropolis like ours, centre the
more sparkling elements of the life of our
country at large, and collision and attrition
bring out much which would else be DOR
mant, Afloat, in society gossip, is small

make no report, and of this we think we can
promise amusing photographs. In announ.

claim the privilege Of leaving them to desig-
nate their own style acd title rs they ap-

anything which has ever been published in
this journal from his pen, and we are very
sure that they will be no less attractive. to
say the least. The graphic and highly-fn-
ished sketches, by THE Lady of Shalott,"
"Ifmothy Quaint" and Others, will be con
tinued. We have also new correspondents
