WIGGLES.

These are filled-in wiggles that several of our young correspondents
have drawn from the outlines given in Nos. 3 and 4 of _Young People_.
They are the contributions of H. W. K., Jessie Beal, J. A. Wells,
H. W. P., J. M. W., Lil, A. D. Crane, S. R. W., Fred Houston, and
H. E. M. Wiggles similar in design were also received from Cyrus O.,
Virgie Cumings, W. G. Page, J. H. Grensel, Sadie Vairin, and others.
Next week we shall show you what we make from wiggle No. 4, and at the
same time give a new one.

We wish all our young readers and correspondents a very happy New-Year,
success in their studies, and pleasant hours with teachers and
school-mates. We hope our friendly intercourse will continue, with
increasing interest to them and to us. At the beginning of a new year it
is well to remember that the surest way to gain happiness for ourselves
is by trying to make others happy.

I thought I would write and tell you that I love _Harper's Young People_
very much. I am eight years old. I have a little brother who is 'most
two years old, and I have a cat four years old. I have an aquarium with
six fish in it, and a turtle. The turtle's name is Snap.

I want to write a note to tell you how I came to take _Young People_.
One evening papa brought me the first two numbers, and I enjoyed the
"Swiss Boy" and the other stories so much that I thought I would like to
take it. So my papa, my mamma, my two brothers, and I myself gave
something toward it, and I shall expect it with pleasure every week.

I like _Harper's Young People_ very much. The illustrations are
beautiful, and the Post-office Box and all the other reading very
interesting. I read all the letters in the Post-office, and contribute
this, my first newspaper correspondence, to that department. The picture
"The Day Before Thanksgiving," on the first page of No. 4, is very
comical, and reminds me of things I have seen myself. I am twelve years
old.

I am so glad you have published this little paper. I think it is the
best thing I have ever seen. Papa reads it
