received from them several copies which are very creditable.

Remember that for teaching children to read there are no more attractive
volumes than "The Easy Book" and "The Beautiful Book," published at this
office.

The pleasant days of spring ought to remind canvassers that now is a
good time for getting subscribers, and that "The Nursery" needs but to
be shown to intelligent parents to be appreciated. See terms.

The use of "The Nursery" in schools has been attended with the best
results. We have much interesting testimony on this point, which we may
soon communicate. It will be worthy the attention of teachers and school
committees.

Subscribers who do not receive "THE NURSERY" promptly, (making due
allowance for the ordinary delay of the mail), are requested to notify
us IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait two or three months and then write
informing us that we have "not sent" the magazine, (which in most cases
is not the fact): but state simply that you have not RECEIVED it; and
be sure, in the first place, that the fault is not at your own
Post-office. Always mention the DATE of your remittance and
subscription as nearly as possible. Remember that WE are not
responsible for the short-comings of the Post-office, and that our
delivery of the magazine is complete when we drop it into the Boston
office properly directed.

"Every house that has children in it, needs 'The Nursery' for their
profit and delight: and every childless house needs it for the sweet
portraiture it gives of childhood."--Northampton Journal.
