the Family Circle.
The Proprietor begs loavo to announce that, on
Saturday, tkcSthof May, he will issue the first num
ber, for the second year, of this popular and well es- j
tablished paper— the riamo and form of which he I
i has changed, to enlarge the scope of its observation, !
and to otherwise increase its attractions.
Less exclusively devoted, than heretofore, to
LITERATURE, THE ARTS, AND THE SCIENCES,
j it will be the aim of its Proprietor to make it, in
every respect,
A CHOICE FAMILY NEWSPAPER ;
“as cheap as the cheapest, and as good as the best.”
Utterly discarding the notion that a Southirn Jour

them, and, in the variety, freshness and value of its
contents, second to none, its field will be the

every species of popular information.
Esp eciul attention will be paid to the subject of
SCHOLASTIC AND DOMESTIC EDUCATION.
Numerous articles, original and selected, from the
best sources, will be published weekly, on
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE,
and these departments, as, indeed, all others, will be
frequently
ILLUSTRATED BY FIXE WOOD-CUTS.
Every number will contain careful and copious sum
maries of the latest
FOREIGX AXD DOMESTIC NEWS,
: in Commercial, Civil, Political, and Ecclesiastical
; Afia.rs. At the same time, there shall be nothing
in its columns that can be considered either Partizan
j or Sectarian.
A CORPS OF CORRESPOXDENTS
will contribut —some regular, and others occasion
al—Letters f. cm the Northern Cities, and from va
rious parts of E-uiopc.
In the Ik st number will be commenced the publi
| cation of
MRS. CAROLINE LEE HENTz's PRIZE TALE,
entitled “Percy, or the Banished Son y ’ and, at
| the .-amc time, will appear, entire,
A BEAUTIFUL SOUTHERN POEM,
entitled “ Wachullah,” for which the Prize oi
Twenty Dollars was awarded to Airs. C. W. Du-
Rose, of Spaita—the Leila Cameron of the Gazette.
Subsequently, the second Prize Talc and Poem will
appear, with many choice articles offered in compe
tition mi- the prizes, and commended by the Com
| mittee of Award.
j The following distinguished writers will contrfb
utc to the Journal:
