In commencing New Year, the proprietors
of the New YsRK MsRcuRY can only say, that
it shall be their aim to make their gIeat fam
lily journal of American Literature, for 1862,
more brilliant and enchanting than ever, in
its concentration of all the worlds graadest
and most beautiful speciaiities in healthful
Romance, graceful Poetry, elegant and quaint
Gossip, refining knowledge, sparkling Humor
and entertaining News-until, like love, it
s--rules the court, the camp, the bower,n
as it already rules the happy domestic frsside.
The editorial tone and National departments
of the NEW YORK MERCURY will continue true
to that lofty spirit Of patriotism which has
made it necessity Of the people since the
War began, aud kept it in enthusiastic de-
mand when 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
brilliaat literary regulations, its programme
for 1862 will be mag gnifcent beyond all prece-
dent. The most celebrated peus of this coun-
try and Europe have been secured in its serv-
ice, at an outlay equal to the erpense of more
than one national gouernment IN the Old World!
and it's novelettes, or continued stories, for
1852, will be the most splendid triumphs of
elegant Fiction ever published. To these, too,
tho magic pencil of the greatest of American
artists, Mr.. FELIX 0. G. DARLsy, will leno the
aid Of pictorial art. ..,tgsss es~e4 .o.,5l.
