HOME JOURNAL FOR 1858,

THE HONE JOURNAL has become universal.
There are few families Of cultivated haLits-lfew
OF those who seek to enliven and make home the
most intelligent and attractive place)-who do not
now receive it. 1t is read, we believe, wherever
run the gold threads of domestic happiness and
true moral refinement, w~hicblare woven 60 thickly
into the strong and course web of our country's
industry and energetic prosperity. The Home
journal is the speaker to the hearts of this busy
nation, In the hours given to happiness and
relaxation.
The first number of the new series will be is.
sued on the first of January next. New subscrib-a
ers can be supplied from that date but immedi-
ate application will be necessary for such as desire
to begin at the beginning. A home is hardly
complete, we think we may safely venture to say
without the Home Journal, which, besides beisS
a chronicle OF the times. abounds in intelligence
designed to enliven an Amer lean Home. Its ed
ilors (GEo. p. NORRIS and n. p. WILLIs) devote
their entire time, skill and experience, to the task
of giving, each week, everything worth knowing.
They particularly keep an eye on the whims and
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
and readable criticisms, and in our condcnsations
Of the productions of the vast newspaper world Of
Europe we endeovor to avoid the tiresome and To-
cal, and transfer to our columns the pick of English
information and brilliancy, while we endeavcr to
select with a true sense of pure morals, true wit,
and genuine humor. a-:
The new feature for the coming year is ono
that we have long thought Of presenting to oar
reader-!he CoRREsPoNDENcE of four re,y brilliant

GAY WORLD. We have grudged exceedingly the
keeping of these most readable matters to ourselves
feeling certain that it was precisely the Society
gossip which our subscribers required as efferyes.

Q some difficulty, we have obtained the consent Of

their several Letters, we venture to suggest noas
de plume, such as W thought would be somewhat
descriptive of their several veins of humor. Tho
) four ladies will therefore be introduced to the
readers of the next volume of the lone Journal,
as
D. Mrs. JAPoNICA JONES,
Mrs. AMELIA RAYrER, f.. .sIr:
Miss L0TsA MUFFIN, f.s-
d Miss JUsTELLA SUMMoRE.
And from these-the four most brilliant persons
of our city acquaintance-the charming Letters
will be duly forthcoming.
Every one knows how n teatable or evening
circle is enlivened, by the coming in of an intel
Iligent man who knows all the netU ideas ofoat, and
tells them, briefly, gayly. and of.hand. in tho
way OF ordinary conversation. Such q person
gives you the substance of the daily papers, in
three or four sentences-tells you the plan and
moral OF a new book in a dozen words--gives the
essence OF a.sermon, the core of a public speech,
the key to a public character, the spirit of an ar
tcie II IL TtNieN, lHe novelty IN IaSnlOD, the lafb
turn in polilics-all briefly, and all without detail
ir or iummery- tearing il riM you, az material for
y your own discussion and gossip. This is what We
propose to do for the Home journal for 1853.
We mean to iot down, for our readers, in the few
est words possible, every new idea that falls in our
way. AS we read, as people drop in and talk, as
i. we look abou. in our walks, we shall be on the
lookout for IDEAS and novelties giving them in
the Lrie9est shape. Formerly, we used to lay
such memoranda aside, to right about if we should
find time--now, We shall give them to our readers,
TO DISCUSS FOR THEMSELVES. In this way, thu
subscribers TO the Home Journal pW stand a chance
to get hold, in some shape or other, Of erery ner
ic idea that is going.
j. The other popular featureFof the paper will be
continued Sketches Of Bellies. Portraits of Public
Characters, description Of stirring scenes in
es New York, news of fashion and manners. phases
of gay and literary society, any new fun or new
ID tJlly-in short, a PICTURE OF THE WORLD AS IT
I'd PASSES. We have scarce thought it Necessary to
ic mention. however, what our readers will under
stand, that we take care to chronicle and advance
h every interest Of benevoience and moral i'm.
