We count all our subscribers as our friends; and all of them may do us a service by renewing their subscriptions immediately. A blank form for that purpose is furnished herewith, and there is plenty of room on it to add the names of a few new subscribers. We hope that every old subscriber will try to send us at least one new one. ... On the last page of our cover will be found the advertisement of "THE NURSERY PRIMER," the most charming book for children, considering its cheapness, that has yet been put upon the market. Look at it, see the beautiful and apt engravings, one or more on every page, and you will want at least a dozen copies to distribute among your little friends at Christmas.
