Who will concentrate upon it all,or nearly all,

GAZETTE ”’ it will be, emphatically, a pa~
per of the home circle—a household companion
-a pleasant fireside friend, coming to all with
a. cheerful countenance, and seeking, while it
imparts instruction, to entertaininnd interest
all classes; of readers. A ‘ leading feature of
the "‘Home'Gazeu'e” will be a ‘ 1

Who will furnish some four or five of these
pictures offlomestxc li‘e, written in .his best

will. be the organ ol’ no parry nor sect; nor
will iv. be the exponent of any at lhe isms ol
the day. But it will faithfully admcnte (he
rigln, and seek, by every means, to widen the
circle of human happiness. Honestly will the
editor teach the Imm, as he has ever done in
his wriliugS; forlhe sake of good to his felv
low men. But, in doing this, he will avoid
unnécessarrharshn’essfiand causeless offence,
and keep his journal free lrom stain of woundfi
ing pe’rsonalily: He will oppose what is false
and evil,' as one of his~ socialidmies; but while
doing so, will use no sharper language than
its rebuke and correglion may require. “The
