LITTLE LEAVESFORLITTLE READERS.
Underthis title, we propose hereafter to devote a portion of each number of our Magazine to the special benefit of our very young friends—theA b c darians—those who have just begun to read. We intend, in fact,to make a little magazine on purposefor them.
And now, at the very outset, we wish to make a bargain in behalf of our littlest friends; those who have just learned to spellcrucifix,amplification, &c. It is as follows:
The big Black-eyes and Blue-eyes have a right to read the older part of our magazine, first; after this, the A b c darians must be permitted to read our Little Leaves. We foresee that there will be a squabble between the old aristocrats and the young democrats, if we do not settle this point beforehand. Now, having spoken our will, we trust we shall be obeyed.
If any trespass upon our law, here laid down, occurs—if any little friend of ours is elbowed out of his rights—if his elder brother or sister ventures topeep into the story of Limping Tom, or Inquisitive Jack, before he has read it, we hope the case will be laid before us, and we shall forthwith proceed to hear and adjudge the matter according to law and justice. Hear ye and obey!
