WHY

Parents and the Senior Members of Families should have a Journal, Magazine, or Paper, weekly, and even daily, while the younger members have theirs only once a month, is a circumstance which many boys and girls cannot understand. And we think they have good ground for complaint. Nearly all the magazines designed for the young are issued monthly, and as they are read long before the first week has elapsed, it does seem hard that no periodical should be provided for their perusal during the remaining weeks of the month. I fact, we honestly confess that we do not see why they

SHOULD NOT

have their "weekly." Hence, with an earnest desire to show them a kindness and meet their most ardent wishes, it has been determined to provide a more frequent issue of literature for

BOYS AND GIRLS

which shall be at once attractive and instructive, and adapted to all classes of the juvenile population, while it shall be at the same time acceptable to many of their parents. In answer therefore to the question, Way should not boys and girls

HAVE THEIR WEEKLY MAGAZINE?

We have the pleasure to announce that

"KIND WORDS"

FOR BOYS AND GIRLS,

will be ready with the periodicals for January, 1866, and will be continued Weekly, price ONE HALFPENNY. No. I. will be ready for the trade early in December. It will be well illustrated with Engravings by the first artists, and will consist of Eight pages, Post 4to.

"KIND WORDS" will contain Original Tales; popular Articles on Things New and Old; the Wonders of Creation; Travels and Adventures; Biographies; Poems; Anecdotes; a Column for the Little Ones, &c. &c. For the convenience of those who prefer it, "KIND WORDS" will be issued in Monthly Parts, with coloured cover, price 3d.
