I received _Young People_ for Christmas, and like the stories very
much. I like "Photogen and Nycteris" so much that I can hardly wait
till the next number comes. The engravings are very nice. I think
that there was never a paper so interesting. I thank you for the
"Wiggles" and other games. Happy New-Year.

I am ten years old. I like _Young People_ the best of any paper I
ever saw. It is the first paper my papa has ever taken for me. He
takes the _Weekly_. I think the _Young People_ is just the right
size for binding, and I am going to have it bound at the end of the
year.

I am very much interested in your paper. I am going to save up my
money to take it. I am nine years old. I have a pony named Coby. I
enjoy him very much. He is a Texas pony. I live in Richmond,
Kentucky, where the grass is so blue.

"DEL," Zanesville, Ohio.--Flat cribbage-boards can be bought at a very
low price, and folding ones which hold the cards are not expensive. You
might make one from a piece of thick pasteboard, but as there must be
sixty-one peg-holes for each player, it would not be easy to cut them
neatly.--It is more customary to leave a card for each person called
upon, especially where the visit is formal.
