has been the teacher story-tcler, mentor, and ora
Gle Of hyO hundred thousand American homes, from
ocean to ocean-and from Quebec, in Canada to
Pensacola, on the Gulf Of Mexico. Young and old
rich and poor, have rovcled i'll its enchanting stores
OF wisdom, romance art, poetry, and genial humor ;
and in its praise is familiar in their mouths as
household words" The noble patriot-soder in his

In commencing New Year, the proprietors of
The New York Mercury can only say, that it shall
be their aim to make their great family journal Of
Amcric IN literature, for 1862, more brilliant and
enchanting than ever in its concentration of all the
worlds grandest and most beautiful specialitics in
hcalthftll Romance, graceful Poetry, elegant and
quaint Gossip, refining knowledge, sparkling HUI
NOR, and entertaining News-until, like love, ii
- rules the court, the camp. the bower, as 1t al
ready rules the happy domestic fireside.
The editorial tone and National departments of
The New York Mercury will continue true to that
lofty spirit of patriotism which has made IT ne
cessity of the people since the War began, andkept
ii in enthusiastic demand whom other sheets were
dying all around it for want of popular support
Already the largest Literary Journal in the world,
and famous as the focus of thousand brilliant lit
erary regulations, its programme for 1862 will be
magnificent beyond all precedent. The most celc-
brated pens of this country and Europe have been
secured in its service at outlay equal to the ex
pcnse of more than national government in the
Old World and its novelcttes, or continued stories,
for 1862, will be the most splendid triumphs of ele
giant Fiction ever published. To these, too, the
magic pencil of the greatest of American artists,
Mr. Felix o. c. barley, will lend the aid of pictor-
ial art

did national Romance, commencing in the hew
York Mercury of Saturday, January 4th. 1852, and
