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 hon0red in 1856, and to offer our respects,
and the promise Of our continued best services, for
the year before us. With the privileged hear ng
that we have now secured, at the tiresides 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-

a family paper, is to be still more marked.
Our contents for 1857. we need scarcely say,
will be rs varied as the Life with which we keep
pace. Time 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 exclusively to the Home Jour
nal.
