New Series for 1857.
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, for
the greatly enlarged audience with which we have
been hOnured in 1856, and to offer our respects.
and the promise of our continued best services, for
the year before us. With the privileged herring
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 nec type, and its ~pre-em'ncnce of cledrntSs and
legiGtAty, so valuable to the eye and SO neodful for
a family paper, is to be still more marked.
Our contents for 1857. we need scarcely saw,
will be as 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 az we go-the exhaustless variety Of
event and novelty assuring to US and to our read
ers, exhnustless themes and subjects of interest.
The Editors will still continue to devote their
time and abilities exclusively to the Home Jour
nal.
N. P. Willis proposes, in addition to his usual
picturings of home life and rural family sympa-
thies and interests, outdoors and in, to give more
of the Letters TO LnratidS, which his experience
has enabled him to write, and which have been 50
widely quoted; and, also, a 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 en- 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 Gten-Lodge; and this
will be published in numbers, from week 10 week.
Besides the labors of the Editors, the Homo
Journal will contain -

of all that occurs, new, charming or instructive.
