New Series for 1856.
HOME JOURNAL
EDITED BY MORRIS AND WILLIS.

We have the pleasure to return our most CRATE
full thanks to the readers OF the Home Journal, for
the greatly enlarged audience with which we have
been honOred in 1856, and to offer our respects,
and the promise of our continued best services, for
the year before us. With the privileged hearing
that we have now secured, at the fresides Of our
whole vast country, it is only natural that We
should feel additional responsibility, while, at the
same time we grid up our energies for new varie
ties of industry and enterprise.
The paper for the coming year is to be printed
on Rec tine, and its pre-emiHcltce Of ciedIneSS and
legbH,ty, so valuable to the eye and so neodful for
IA family paper, is to be still more marked.
Our contents for 1857, we need scarcely say,
will be MS varied as the Life with which wo keep
pace. Tine and the ever changing World are the
great baskets out of which we pick Wisdom and
Amusement as we go-the eXhaustless variety Of
event and novelty assuring to us and to our read
ers, exhaustless themes and subjects of interest.
The Editors will still continue to devote their
time and abilities erctaSireiy to the Home Jour
nal.
n. P. Willis proposes, in addition to his usual
Ficturings of home life and rural family SYM pa
thies and interests, outdoors and-in, to give more
of the Letters to LarGlidS, which his experience
has enabled him to write, and which have been So
widely quoted; and, also, Il series of Portraits Of
Liring Characters.
George p. Morris, besides his usual constant Ia
bors upon the several departments of the paper,
will make it the wool On which to broider first the
new Sketches, Songs, Ballads, etc, suggested by
the history and event of the passing time.
T. B.. Aldrich has in preparation a Prose Poem,
to be entitled The Rose Of Gten-LodGe; and this
will lie published in Numbers from week TO week.
Besides the labors Of the Editors, the Home
journal will contain:-
The communication of a brilliant list of orig
inal contributors
The core and history Of now nnbliratiOns.
The floating stories, brief romanees, sparkling
wit, fun and anecdote of the day:
Poetry, pathos and romance:
Tho gossip and news of Pirisian journals:
Personal sketches of the conspicuous charac-
tiers Of the time:
The stirring scenes of daily life:
The 'hrOnicle of news for h eLadics
The Fashions.
The valuable information, as to statistics, dis
coverios and great events:
Criticisms of current Literature:
And all that can lie gathered, to interest the
reader, from the Worlds constant overflow of ac-
ton and intellect.
We need not remind our readers, perhaps, that
we have correspondents, wholly unsurpassed, in
the society of New York, and that, through these
gifted and refined mediums" we keep appraised
OF all that ocGuys, now, charming or instructive,
10 the brilliant circles Of city life.
For the health, the moral improvement and the
religious culture of families. we watchfully gath
er every new suggestion, and carefully chronicle
all signs of Progress and Utility.
BY unceasing vigilance and industry. and by
skill acquired in long and successful practice, we
hope still to keep the Home Journal undisputed as
the best family Newspaper in the Oorid.
