AMERICAN HEARTS AND HOMES!
THE
NEW YORK MERCURY
A NEW TEAR WITH AN OLD FRIEND.
On New Year's day of 1862, that world renowned
and unrivaled gem of American journalism, the peer
less NEW YORK MERCURY, will enter upon the twen
ty-lourth year of tne most brillicnt career ever a
chieved bj- a paper. During the past year it has
been the teacher, stoiy-teller, mentor, and oracle of
two hundred thousand American homes, from ocean
to ocean—and fiom Quebec, in Canada, tc Pensacola,
on the Gulf of Mexico. Young and old, rich and
poor, have reveled in its enchanting stores of wis
dom, romance, art, poetry, and genial humor; and
its praise is
"Familiar in their mouths as household words."
The noble patriot-soldier in his tent, too, ha 3 whileJ
away the tedium of camp life in the absorbing re
view of its
FORTY BRILLIANT COLUMNS,
finding in them a fascinating mental discipliie
known only to those who rally to the Banner-sheet
of the Grand Army of American Intellect and Genius.
In commencing a New Year, the proprietors of the
Nsw YORK .MERCURY can only say, thit it shall be
their aim to make their ereat family journal of A
mencan literature, Cor 1862, more brilliant and en
chanting than ever, in its concentration of all the
world's grandest and most beautiful specialities in
healthful Romance, graceful Poetry, elegant and
quaint Gossip, refining knowledge, sparkling Humor
and entertaining News—until, like love, it
" rules the court, the camp the bower,"
s it already rules the happy domestic fireside.
The editorial tone ar.d National departments of
THE NEW YORK MERCURY will continue true to that
lofty spirit of patriotism. which has made it a ne
cessity of the people since the War began, and kept
it in enthusiastic demand when other sheets were
dying all around it for want of popu ar support.
Already the iargest Literary Jdurnal in the world,
and famous as the focus of a thousand bril.iant lit
erary reputations, its programme for 1562 will be
magnificent beyond all precedent. The most cele
brated pens of this country and Europe have been
secured in its service, at an outlay equal to the ex
yense of more than one national government in the
Old World ' and its novelettes, or continued stories
for 1862, will be the most splendid triumphs of ele
gant Fiction ever published. To these, too, the ma
gic pencil of the greatest of American artists, Mr.
FELIX O. C. DARLEY, will lend the aid of pictorial
art.
Our story, initiatory of the New Year, is asp 1 en
did national Romance, commencing in the NEW YORK
MERCURY of Saturday, January Ith, 1562, entitled
THE RATTLESNAKE,
OR,
THE REBEL PRIVATEER.
A TALE OF THE PRESENT TIME.
BY NED BIJNT LINE.
It is the greatest nautical Novelette since the days of
Marryatt.

than half as much thread and silk as the chain
or loop.stitch machines.
FACT No. 3.—These Machines are better adapted
than any other sewing-machines in market to the
frequent changes and almost endless variety of
sewing required in a family. They will sew
from one to twenty thicknesses of Marseilles
without stopping, and make every stitch perfect.
They will even sew from the finest gauze to the
heaviest cloth, and even stout, hard leather,
the feed, needle, or tensioi , or
makir.gany adjustment of machine whatever.—
Is not such a machine best adapted to family use?

Ustic seam ol any sewing-machine in use— a fact
of very great importance in sewing elastic goods,

FACT No. 10. These Machines can do the same
thing geneially, whenever properly exhibited in
competition with other first-class Sewing Ma
chines. But we have space for only one fact
more—it is the most important Fact of-11
FACT No. 11.— We warrant every Marking we sell
