EDITOR'S PORTFOLIO.
... Now is the time for Canvassers to begin their operations for 1876. Now is the time for our friends to show their good will. 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.
... We call attention, also, to the advertisement of "THE EASY BOOK" and "THE BEAUTIFUL BOOK." No more useful or delightful books for beginners in reading have appeared. These, with "The Nursery Primer." form a cheap but elegant library for childhood.
... _Progress, improvement_, will be our motto in the future as they have been in the past. "The Nursery," we can assure our readers, is younger and more full of life than ever, notwithstanding its nine years.
... Unaccepted articles will be returned to the writers if stamps are sent with them to pay return postage. Manuscripts not so accompanied will not be preserved, and subsequent requests for their return cannot be complied with.
