era. We know this Is mot usually done in
such publications, but We think We do not
mistake the taste or capacity of young people,
when we suppose them to feel some interest In
the world they live In, beyond the nursery, the
school-room, and the playground. II shall also

kind. Freedom, Peace, and Temperance, shall
receive our earnest advocacy. Teaching our
readers to synpathise with the oppressed, and
weep with the suffering, we hope to awaken In
them generous adherence of all wrong, and
an earnest love and reverence for all that s just
and pure; and, while thus intoxicating the les
sons Of love TO man, we cannot forget the SUI
preme obligations due TO the great Father and
Benefactor Of all.
We hope TO succeed in adapting our paper to
all ages of youth; so that while the elder broth.
ers and sisters have a full share Of our atten
ton, the little ones shall not be forgotten. They
are our special favorites, and shall be cared for
accordingly.

engaged, as regular contributors to our columns

peculiarly qualified to minister to the wants Of
Youth. Among them, We are at liberty to
