THE HOME JOURNAL.


TINE first number f the new series will
Il be issued on the lst of January next
New subscribers can be supplied from that
date but immediate application will be
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 Journal, which, besides
being chronicle of the times, abounds in
intelligence designed to enliven an Amefi-
can Home. Its editors Geo. p. Morris and
N. +. 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 md readable criticism,
and in our condensations of the productions
of the vast newspaper world of Europe, we
endeavor TO avoid the tiresome and the 10
cal, and transfer to our columns the pick of
English information and brilliancy, while
We endcayor 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 is always
attractive in family journal. From sevc-
raj different sources we are to be supplied
with the ne,oS and gossip Of Ne,c York So
ciety. in metropolis like ours, centre the
more sparkling elements of the Iif;. of our
country at large, and collision and attritop
bring out much which would else be DOR
mant. AIloat, in society gossip. is a small
world, of which the ordinary newspapers
make no report, and Of this we think we can
promise amusing photographs. In announ.
cling also, A new series of articles by Mr..
Willis, in addition to his usual labors, we
claim the privilege of leaving them to desir-
nate their own style n I'd title rs they ap-
pear. They are to be quite different from
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 tho least The graphic and hiohly-6n.
ished sketches, by "The Lady of Shalott,"
"Timothy Quaint" and Others, will be con.
tinued. We have also new correspondents

for the detection of this acid, that given by
DR.. O'Shaugnessy is the most delicate, it is
as follows. The substance suspected to
contain nitric acid or nitrate, is heated in
test tube with drop of sulphuric acid, a
crystal Of morphia is then added when if
nitric acid be present, an orange red fol

is one more acid Of this class which de-

acid. This is the name which modern
chemists have given to the Agua Regia Of
the alchemists it is produced by mixing
muratic with nitric acid in the proportion

this mixture they acquire the power of dis
