to Pensacola, on the Gulf of Mexico Young ana
old, rich and poor have reveed IN its enchanting

In commencing New Year, the proprietors Of
THE NEW YORK MERCURY can only say, that 1t shall
be their aim to make their great family journal Of
American literature, for 1862, more brilliant and
enchanting than ever, in its concentration OF al

| The New York MERCURY will continue true to thai
lofty spirit of patriotism which has made it
sity of the people since the War began, and kept
| it in enthusiastic demand when other sheets were
diving all around it for want of popular support.
| Already the largest Literary Journal in the
world, and famous the focus of thousand
brilliant literary regulations, its programme for
1882 will be magnificent beyond all precedent The
most celebrated pens Of this country and Europ,
have been secured in its service at outlay eQua
10 the expense Of than national goreTnnaen
IN the Old World! and its noveettes, or continue,
Stories for 1862, will be the splendid triumph
of elegant Fiction ever published. To these, too
the magic pencil of the greatest of American artists
