The New York Mercury.
FOR TIE NEW YEAR.

Il 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
IsG3) will be richer in every luXu.y Of Po-
lite Literature than ever before. II IS no up
start speculation, no temporary sensation"
but lirst-class literary weekly, which has
been familiar to the United States for quar-
Ter Of a 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. Esssyisls, Story TellcrS, and EdItors,and
promises to make it still greater for 1868.
II 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, Feuletons,
Droadsides Of Humor. and Polished EdtOri-
ais, combine to epitomize all the charms OF
wit and sentiment! The husband reads it tC
his wife, the mother to her children, the lover
10 his weetheart the soldier 10 his comrades
and the village schoomaster 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 severa
countries of Europe. The New York Mercury
is also identified with the grandest patriotism
of the age, for several members Of its brillidn
Staff hold high rank in our noble army, ant
have made themselves as famous with The
Sword as with the Pen. The great illustrat
ing artist of The New York Merc0ry, the in.
imitable Darley, gives the paper the highes
attributes of Fine Art and yet this larges
literary weekly of the day promises to surpas:
itself in all these respects during the New Year
The first New York Mercury Novelette, fo
the New Year, to be commenced in the issue
of January 3. 1868, is called VICTORIA O.
The Heiresss Of Castle Cliffe. BY Cousin Ma,
Carleton, Author Of "Gpsey Cover" ''Sybi
Campbell" "Ermiae," La Masque,' &c, &c
The productions of this distinguished au
thoress need no eulogy. Public opinion lonl
since pronounced thOm superior TO any othe
novelettes published on this side of the At
lantc and the true test of their merit is founC
in the fact that they eagerly reproduced
after their publication in the Mercury, by tn
English press. We may add that tie new
taie, .sYictoria," is fully equal in interest anC
depth of plot to either of those which bavt
secured SO large share of public approval
and we can earnestly recommend it to all sto
ry-readers.
