SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA.

I have a recipe for Puss Hunter's cooking club: One cup of
molasses; three-quarters of a cup of sugar; one-quarter of a cup
of butter; four tea-spoonfuls of vinegar; a little vanilla. It
makes very nice candy. I have tried the recipe very often, and
have never known it to fail. I would like to be a member of the
cooking club.

My papa takes YOUNG PEOPLE for us children, and I am very much
interested in the stories, especially in "Across the Ocean." My
brother likes to sing "I am the lad in the blue and white." I like
to go to school. We are going to have a picnic in May, and are
learning pretty pieces to sing and speak. I expect we will have a
fine time; and if any of the young correspondents of Our
Post-office Box would like to hear about it, I will write and tell
them what kind of a time we really do have.

I am a little Southern girl. My father is a sugar-planter, and we
have a nice home on the banks of the Mississippi River. We have a
very fine pointer. In reply to the question of Joseph D. in No. 24
about taming wild rabbits, I will say that he must put them in a
cage, not too small, and feed and pet them every day.

I have a coach-dog named Beauty. When I play a French harp, she
will cry and act very sad. She comes and lays her head in my lap,
and seems to wish me to keep on playing. I can not tell whether
she likes music or not, but she always howls when I play. I have a
dear little brother named Lynn, a year and a half old. He kisses
me good-by every morning when I go to school. I am nearly ten
years old.

I thought I would tell you how much I like to have them hand me my
paper at the post-office. My brother subscribed for it for me. I
live in the Rocky Mountains. We own one-half interest in a gold
and silver mine. We came here for my mother's health. She was very
sick, and now she is well. I can have all the specimens f
