MORRIS AND WILLS, EDITORS.
The first number of The new series will
be issued on the first os January next. New
subscribers can be supplied from that date;
but immediate application will be necessary
for such as desire 10 begin with the

thin k we may safely venture to say, with
ou. the Home Journal, which, besides being
q chronicle oil the times, abounds in inteli-
gence designed 10 enliveE an American
Home. Its editors Geo. P. Morris and N.
7. 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
and novelties of the day, The utmost pains
are taken to present the facts and outlines
of all news. In the literary department, we
aim al sketches and readable criticism, and
in our condensations of the productions OF
the vast newspaper world of Europe, we en-
ceavour 10 avoid The tiresome and the local,
and transfer TO our columns the pick of Eng
lish information and brilliancy, while we en-.
deavour 10 select with true sense of pure
morals, true wit, and genuine humour In
addition 10 the above, we have made new
new arrangements for feature that is al

Society. In metropolis like ours centre
the more sparkling elements of the life of
our country at large, and collision and at.
triton bring opt much which would else be
dormant. Afoat, in society gossip, is a
small world, Of which The ordinay newspa-
pers make no report, and of this we think
we can promise amusing photographers. To

we CLAIM: the privileg of leaving them 10 de-

anything whieh has eper beea published in this

that they will be no less attractive, 10 say
the least. The graphic and highly finished
sketches, by "The Lady of Shalloi," "Tim-

We have also new correspondents in Lon

How TO COURT CHICAGO GIRLs.-The
following paragraph may afford some it
struction to single young men. In the
course Of avery witty speech made by Hon.
Josiah Quincy at the late Cape Cod cele-
braton, he took fitting opportunity to
bring in this anecdote.

II was crowded, but there was'but one white
head in the.building, and that, am sorry to
say, was on my own shoulders. There was
another great peculiarly; the great ajorits

A Nunifcent Gift.

last week with one Of Erben's best Church
organs, from the city ofNew York, original.
ly-the generous and noble gift of General
GEO. B. SARGENT, costing 5000 exclusive OF
freight, expen Of setting up. &c. 1t proves
to be an instrument Of great sweetness of
tone and considerable power and compass,
of eight Stops, and adapts itself admirably
to the loft erected for it and the Church
Building, beside being an ornament, as a
piece of furniture, to the church. Those
who are conversant in such matters speak
highly in its praise. We had the pleasure
of listening to its harmonious sounds, on
Sunday last. under the skillfu management
of Mr.. II. A. DaFTance, the organist, and
were delighted with its sweetnes and power
of combination. With the aid of an efficient
choir tt must add much to the interest and
Of the religious services OF
the congregation who are SO fortunate as
ito fall in possession of the noble gift

The following touching extract Is cu!led
| ed from the local column OF the buHaio E'A
nress. As the Register says: Not often
thank God. are life and death thus made
CHESTS Of the homes and hearts which have
;ust learned the boundlcss bliss Of wed
|ded love: but, sitter all...is not Heaven home.
The voy age to the Golden Land is, indeed
Ito 4 far OF shore, but the waters are moi
without stars to guide, and the way Is mol
too long for all: .~...
A few weeks ago we were the witness o.
Ia parting which touched US nearly. 1t was
between two were newly we dded, and who
since the sweet day Of their nuptials, had
not been parted for day, hardly for an
hour. Nothing short Of sheer necessity
could have called the husband from his idol
now--but the necessity came be-
tween them, ::and he must not shrink
we saw the long and wild en-
brace, heard the goer whisper--'.Be oil
coed cheer; will BE- home soon;" and in
a few moments more the pillows rolled be-
tween the hearts that, SO lately, God had
joined together.
Il will be home SOON" These were the
words, the only consolation left, amid so
much bitterness. Perhaps the pangs OF
parting were sharpened by the vague pre-
sentiment that they might never meet
again, And SO she turned from the spot,
that sad young wife, and went back to the
home whose light had departed.
II will be hcme soon." And SO he was,
home before he was expected; home ere
yet the tears were dried from the eyes of
he weeper whom he left behind. But alas
how did he come! Encompassed by a
shroud, embraced within coffin, cold as the
perpetual snow that crowns the mountain
monarch Of Switzerland. Sure enough he
was ..home soon"
They dug but one grave then, but since,
another was demanded, and now the young
husband and the young wife sleep and
dream together.
We shall all be '.home soon." What
that home will be rests with us. The
deeds Of virtue will secure passport to the
golden palaces; the enormites of vice
will end in worse than dungeon dark
ness.

what after the following manner:
Friend Hendricks, understand from thy
discourse thee is much in favor of popular
Sovereignty. Now If it should happen that
thee should be beaten in this race for Con.
gress by Mr.. Barbour, thee would probably
regard il as an indication that the people OF
this District are opposed to the Missouri
Compromise.
"Certainly," said Dir. Hendricks
| "Then friend Hendricks, would thee fee
bound by the principle of popular sovereign

Mr.. Hendricks answered, with some hes.

"Wei!, then" said Friend Quaker, "we
will try and elect Nr. Barbour, and thus Sc
