The HOME JOURNAL has become universal.
There are few families Of cultivated habits-lfew

run the gold threads of domestic happin ess and

into the strong and course web of our c0untry's
industry and energetic prosperity. The Home

without the Home Journal, which, besides being
a chronicle Of the times. abounds in intelligence

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

The new feature for the coming year is one

keeping of these most readable matters to ourselves
feeling certain that it was precisely the Society
gossip which our subscribers required as efferves-

some difficulty, we have obtained the consent OF
cur fair CORES pondents. it was only on one con
