NEW YORK ne RCURY
A NEW YEAR WITH AN OLD FRIEND

On New Years day of 1862, that world
renowned and unrivaled gem of American
journalism, the peerless Nep York 4fercirg.
will enter upon the twenty fourth year of the
most brilliant career ever achieved by paper.
During the past wear it has been the teacher
storv-tellcr, mentor and oracle of two 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 reveled in its enchanting stores
of wisdom, romance art, poetry, and genial
humor and its praise is
Familiar in their mouths as household words
The noble patriot-solder in bis tent, too, has
wh:led away the tedium of camp life in the
absorbing review of its .
FORTY BRILLIANT COLUMNS,
finding in them a fascinating mental disci-
pline known only to those who rally to tie
Banner-sheet of the Grand Army of Ameri-
can Intellect and Genius
In commencing a New Year, the proprie-
tors of the NoU York Nerc,vv can only say,
that if 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 all the worlds grandest
and most beautiful specialities in healthful
Romance, graceful Poetry. elegant and quaint
Gossip. refining knowledge. sparkling Humor
and entertaining News-untii, like love, it
RULES the court, the camp, the bower"
as it already rules happy domestic freside'
The editorial tone and National departments
of the Nercur0 viii continue true to Il al lofty
spirit Of patriotism which has made it ncccs-
ity Of the people since the war began, and
kept it in enthusiastic demand when other
sheets We're dying all around it for want of
popular support.
Already the greatest Literary Journal in
the world, ard famous as the focus of thous-
and brilliant literary regulations, in its pro-
grammo for 1862 will be magnificent beyond
all precedent. The most celebrated pens of
this country and Europe have been secured in
its service, al an outlay equal TO the expense of
more than one National government in the
Old World ! and its novelties. or continued
stories, for 1862, viii he the most splendid tri-
umphs Of elegant Fiction ever published. To
these, too, the magic pencil of the greatest of
American artists, Mr.. FELIX 0. G. BARLEY,
will lend the aid Of pictorial art.

COMMUNICATION for your Pain Killer. have
used it in my family these several years, and
fonnd it all it claims to be. For rheumatism
Coughs, Colds. Bures, Cholera tendencies and
difficulties. as well as diseases generally that
prevail in families. l regard the Pain Killer az
beyond all price, and as efEicaclous beyond
any medicine within my knowledge. We
keep it as our chief family medicine, and find
it's use in ordinary cases worth more than any
doctor. The testimony of others among my
acquaintance and friends is equally favora-
able. Many clergymen have spoken Of it in
the highest terms as a family medicine. Mis-
sionaries in repeated instances have said to me
in person and in their letters, that the Pain
Killer was by far the best mediocre used in
heather lands, and they use it for themselves
and families, and administer it TO others
around them. Thus mnch am inclined TO
say as an act of jnstice to yourselves; and as
benefit to others. You are at liberty 10 use
