HEARTH AND HOME.-We have the first number
OF this new weekly. IL will perhaps occur TO more
thanone reader that the field OF newspaper enterprise
is pretty well fed. and that 1t would be difficult to
produce paper likely to be popular and at the
same time not an imitation OF some one previously
in existence. But this has been accomplished IN
HEARTH AND HOME The fiashy and the sensa-
tiona are the predominating traits OF most OF the
popular weeklies, but these qualities their at
fractions, and the editorshp Is not difficult task.
But these light qualities are ignored In the HEARTH
AND HOME, and that without rendering the paper
unattractive. There Will not be O more entertaining
paper published for the current week than this num-
ber The editors, Donald q. Mitchell eek Marvel'D
and Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stwe, aided by such con-
tributors as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Bryant, J. T.
Trowbridge, Rev. j. p. Thompson, have sue
ceeded in producing paper which will be well
coined by intelligent readers OF all classes and ages
The paper shows that their aim has been to produce
something which would not make their well chosen
name misnomer. Tits by the cheerful hearth and
in the home circle that the HEARTH AND HOME
viii be best appreciated; but 1t Is paper which
viii not be out OF place in the shop, the store the
counting house, or wherever there il reader whose
mind Graves something better than the merely
stunning In sensational story telling.

paper world as reliable and successful advertising
agents. and the fact that they have assumed the
publication OF paper Is the snrest guarantee OF its
ability and high character. We confidently predict
that the HEARTH AND HOME will at once take
rank with the first weekly publications OF the times
From the Utica Herald.l
HEARTH AND HOME Is the title OF neatly gotten
up sixteen page illustrated weekly devoted TO 1.-The
farm, garden and reside, and published by Messrs.
Bates Il Co., No. 81 Park row, New York.
Its corps OF editors is guarantee OF all that could
be desired IN the way OF editorial ability. They are
Donald G. Mitchell and Harriet Beecher Stowe,
assisted by Joseph b. Lyman. well known
agricultural writer, and Mary +. Dodge. There
who have united with the editors In making
the initial number very interesting and instructive.
The contents are var ed and entirely original: and
the numerous wood cuts are a credit to both the
paper and the artists. ''Santa Claus,u by Mast Is
exceedingly fine, and there Is infinite drollery In
''Reynaid's SCHOOL, The other Illustrations are In
excellent keeping with these and the contents OF
the paper. The Typography compares favorably
with the best specimens OF sthe art preseryatiye ~
all arts:'' aud on the whole we see no good reason
why the HEARTH AND HOME should not at once
take rank WIN the FIRST weekly publications or the
times. We wish IL the success which il evidently
deserves.
From the Boston Advertlserl
The new family weekly paper HEARTH AND
HOME - certainly In the management OF skilful
pilots, who understand the Importance OF putting
out good initial number. The sheet IL neat and
prep0ssessing in appearance and shows no marks OF
that haste aud credulty In preparation so apt to mar
initial issues The table OF contents OF the number
has already been attractiyey set forth in our ayer.
Using coiumns and we have only to say In addition
that the new paper seems to be something between
the American Agriculturist and Harperis Weekly
without the political tinge OF the latter and with
many specIalties peculiar 10 itself. The editors
Donald q. Mitchell and Mrs. Harriet Beecher stowe,
seem 70 have brought energy and enthusiasm To
their work. One OF the contributions or Mrs Stowe
TO the first number is chapter from her lone -pro-
missed novel, s0ld Town Folks,n and II seems 10 m.
