without the Home Journal, which, besides
being q chronicle of the times, abounds in
intelligence designed to enliven an Ameri-
can Home Its editors Geo p. Morris and
N. p. Wills) 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 nnI readable criticism,
and in our condensations of the productions
of the vast newspaper world of Europe, we
endcavor to avoid the tiresome and the To-,
cal, and transfer to our columns the pick OF
English information and brilinncy, 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 is always
attractive in family journal. From seve-,
raj different sources we are to be supplied
with the neos and gossip Of NeD York So
crety. 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. Aaoat, iu society gossip, is small
world, of which the ordinary newspapers
make no report, and of this we think VIC can
promise amusing photographs. In announ-

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