nd, and try to get out.
When I would take it out, it would creep toward the river. I felt
sorry for it, and my brother put it back in the river again. I
tried Puss Hunter's recipe, and think it real nice. I am going to
send a recipe for her club some time.

Papa takes YOUNG PEOPLE for me, and I like it so much! I have a
little sister who is very much interested in fancy-work, and she
wishes to know if you will not give some instructions for making
some fancy and at the same time useful articles for an old lady. I
had some rabbits, and one bit me. I have tried Fanny S.'s recipe
for caramels, and I like it very much. I have a little dog, but he
eats very little. Can any one tell me what is the matter with him?

I take great pleasure in letting you know that I am one of the
many readers of YOUNG PEOPLE. I am a little Scotch girl, but can
remember nothing of my country. I have become crippled since
coming to America, and I enjoy reading very much indeed. I wish
YOUNG PEOPLE much success.

I wish to tell you of an entertainment which was given by our
Sunday-school. We called it a Bazar, because we had ever so many
pretty things, made by the Sunday-school children, to sell. There
was a nice stage in the hall where we had the Bazar, and we had a
pretty little exhibition. Some of us represented an art gallery.
We had pictures and statues. I represented a statue. We made over
one hundred dollars, and we are going to buy a new library for the
Sunday-school with the money.

I like the letters in Our Post-office Box best of all, and read
every one of them myself, but as I am only six years old, I can
not write very well, so I have asked mamma to write for me. My
father has taken HARPER'S big paper many years, and when the first
YOUNG PEOPLE came, I coaxed him to subscribe for it for me.

We live on a nice, pleasant farm in Oneida County, and have all
kinds of domestic animals. My pets are a pair of pure white twin
calves, just alike. My br
