The New York Mercury.
FOR THE NEW YEAR.

It is with no fear of Wars effect upon their
literary fortunes, that the publishers of The
New York Mercury acknowledge the unwav-
ering loyalty of tlic' two hundred Thousand
subscribers and announce to them and to all,
that The New York Mercury for this year
GSS3) will be richer in every luxury OF Po-
lite Literature than ever before. 1t is no up
start speculation, no temporary sensation,
but a frst-class literary weekly, which has
been familiar TO the United States for quar-
ter of century; and while the wishy-washy
prints Of yesterday are cutting down their
talent even while they raise their subscription
price, The New York Mercury maintains all
its great staff of Romancers, Poets, Humor-
lists, EssayiSts, Story-Tellers, and Editors, and
promises to make it still greater for 1863
It is the one paper for every home. It's for
~ columns of readings matter per week con-
Etitute an unparalleled conservatory Of the
entertaining, and its Novels, Miscellaneous
Tales, Beauties of Verse, Gossip, FeullletOns,
Broadsides of Humor, and Polished Editori-
ais combine to epitomiZe all the charms OF
wit and sentiment! The husband reads it to
his wife, the mother to her children, the lover
10 his weetheart, the soldier to his comrades,
aud the village schoolmaster to the circle
around the stove. 1t is familiar to the sight
Ofevery man, woman, and child in our coun-
try. and has regularfsubScriber in several
countries of Europe. The New York Mercury
Is also identified with the grandest patriotism
Of the age for several members of its brilliant
Staff hold high rank in, our noble army, and
have made themselves as famous with the
Sword as with the Pen. The great illustrat-
ing artist of The New York Mercury, the in
imitable Darley, gives the paper the highest
attributes of Fine Art ; and yet this largest

The first New York Mercury Novelette, for
she New Year, to be commenced in the issue
of January 3, 1868, is called VICTORIA; or
The HeiressS Of Castle Clffe. By Cousin May
Carleton, Author of ''Gipsey Cover" 'Sybil
Campbell" "Ermine," ala Masque,' &C.. &c.
The productions of this distinguished au-
shoress need no eulogy. Public opinion long
since pronounced thom superior TO anv other
novelettes published on this side of the At
Iantc and the true test Of their merit IS found
in the fact that they are eagerly reproduced,
after their publication in the Mercury, by the
English press. We may add that the new
tale, "Yictoria, T" is fully equal in interest and
depth of plot to either of those which have
secured so large a share of public approval,
and we can earnestly recommend it to all sto-
y readers. sgy~ - rs -
