In the old-fashioned farm-house where your youth was passed so happily, there may be the dim, spectacled eyes of the good father and mother--perhaps one without the other--awaiting the approach of spring and summer, to welcome home their child. Herald your coming by sending to them THE BAY STATE MONTHLY, to relieve the monotony and awaken reminiscences of their youth. There are indications that the unjust postal law, which provides that THE BAY STATE MONTHLY can be delivered in San Francisco, New Orleans, or Savannah, for less than half the money required to deliver it in Boston and its suburbs, will be repealed by the present Congress, and a more equitable law established. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE BAY STATE MONTHLY. THE BAY STATE MONTHLY has found a home at 31 Milk Street, room 46, (elevator). A reliable boy from thirteen to sixteen years old can find employment at our office. Write, stating qualifications, references, and wages expected. JOHN N. MCCLINTOCK, of THE BAY STATE MONTHLY, has written and has in press, a History of the town of Pembroke, New Hampshire. Modesty prevents our dwelling at too great a length upon the merits of the book. The historical student will find within its covers a wealth of dramatic incidents, thrilling narrative, touching pathos, etc. Apropos of town histories, the publishers of THE BAY STATE MONTHLY would be willing to confer with authors upon the subject of publishing their manuscripts.
