m sorry to say,
cry together, for they are both very sensitive. They object
strongly to being shut up at night, and protest against it loudly.

I am thirteen years old, and I wear spectacles.

WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

I have taken YOUNG PEOPLE ever since the first number, and I find
it very interesting. I was born in this Territory, but I have been
to San Francisco and down the Pacific coast as far as Santa
Barbara, where I remained six months with my mother and brother
and sister. Sometimes in warm weather we take a trip to the Blue
Mountains, and we have picnics and fishing parties. I am eleven
years old.

ADAMS, WISCONSIN.

I am ten years old. I live in the country, near a beautiful lake
called Lake Pleasant. I often have a boat-ride on it. The hills
are quite high around the lake.

I live with my grandpa and grandma, and I go to school in an old
yellow school-house that has stood for thirty years. We are going
to have a nice new brick school-house soon, but I do not like to
have the dear old house torn down, as it is the same one my mamma
went to school in.

We have two hundred sheep. I have a pet lamb that will leave the
flock when I call it. Its name is Dickie.

RANDALL, NEW YORK.

I am eleven years old. I have not any pets now, but I had two. One
was a little dog named Fanny. It would draw a little sleigh with a
milk-pail on it, and pull me on the ice when I had my skates on.
The other was a little kitten that would jump and take a piece of
meat out of my hand when I held it over my head.

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.

I am eleven years old. I like YOUNG PEOPLE very much. I often go
out to the Spanish fort. There is a band of music there every
evening, and every Saturday it is there all day. There are two
cannon which have been in the fort ever since 1718. I have two pet
kittens that follow me everywhere.

I have a collection of stamps, and would gladly exchange with some
of the readers of YOUNG PEOPLE.
