THE HOME JOURNAL
EDITED by MORRIS AND WILLIS.

We have the pleasure to return our most CRATE
ful thanks to the readers of the Home Journal. fol-
the greatly enlarged audience with which we have
Leen honored in 1856, and to offer our respects,
and the promise OF our continued best services, for
ne year before us. With the privileged hearing
that we have now secured, at the fresiies 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 yarie.
ties of industry and enterprise.
The paper for the coming year is to be printed
on neio type, and its p'e'emincncc Of cleaJneSS and
legiba'ty, so valuable to the eye and so ne?dful for
a 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. Time and the ever changing World are the
great baskets out of which we pick Wisdom and
Amusement az 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 exclusively to the Home Jour
nal.
N. T. Willis proposes, in addition to his usual
picturings of home life and rural family sym pa
thies and interests, outdoors and.in, to give more
of the Letters TO MrdiidS, which his experience
has enabled him to write, and which have been so
widely quoted; and, also, q series Of Portraits Of
Licing 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.
I. b. Aldrich has in preparation a Prose Poem,
to be entitled The Rose Of Gien-LOdge; and this
will be published in numbers, from week 10 week.
Besides the labors of the Editors. the Home

And all that can lie gathered, to interest the

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 apprised
of all that occuJs, new, charming or instructive,
