THE PRIDE OF NEW YORK.
Grand Mirror Of american Genius
"Correct with spirit eloquent with ease,
Intent to reason, or polite to please"
The New York Mercury,
FOR THE NEW YEAR.

1t 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 the two hundred thousand
subscribers, and announce to them and to ALL
that The New York Mercury for this year
NS63) 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 wshy 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 Romaucers, Poets, Humor-
lists, Essayists, Story -Telers, aud Editors, and
promises to make it still greater for 1868.
1t is the one paper for every home. Its for
" columns of reading matter per week con-
stitute an unparalleled conservatory Of the
entertaining, and its Novels, Miscellaneous
Tales. Beauties of Verse, Gossip, Feulletons,
Broadsides of Humor. and Polished Editorl-
ais combine TO epitomiZe all the charms OF
wit and sentiment! Ihe husband reads it to
his wife, the mother to her children, the lover
TO his weetheart, the soldier to his comrades,
aud the village schoolmaster to the circle
around the stove. 1t is familiar to the sight
of every man, woman, and child in our coun-
try and has regular subscribers 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 ilIuStrat-
ing artist of The New York Mercury, the in
imitable Darley, gives the paper the highest
attributes of Fine Art; and yet this largest
literary weekly of the day promises to surpass
itselfin all these respects during the New Year!
The first New York Mercury Novelette, for
the New Year, to be commenced in the issue
of January 3rlS63, is called VICTORIA or
The Heiresss of Castle Cliife. BY Cousin May
Carleton, Author Of "Gipsey Cover" "Sybil
Campbell" "Ermine," "La Masque,' &C., &c.
The productions of this distinguished au-
thoress need no eulogy. Public opinion long
since pronounced thom superior to any other
novelettes published on this side of the At
lantic and the true test of their merits 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, "Victoria," is fully equal in interest and
depth Of plot to either of those which have
secured so large share Of public approval,
and we can earnestly recommend it to all sto-
ry-readers.
