I must write, dear YOUNG PEOPLE, to tell you how I love you.
Through you I have made the acquaintance of little "Wee Tot." I
have sent her some Lake Michigan shells, and she has sent me some
lovely ocean curiosities, some of which are star-fishes,
sea-urchins, and beautiful shells.

I would like to exchange slips of wax-plant, sweet-scented
geranium, and fuchsias with any readers for more ocean
curiosities, only I wish some one would please tell me how to send
them safely.

I like to read history, and about brave men, and I think "The
Story of the American Navy" is splendid.

I am collecting postage stamps, and have over one hundred
duplicates, which I would like to exchange with the readers of
YOUNG PEOPLE.

My sister takes YOUNG PEOPLE, and I read it every week. The story
of "The Moral Pirates" was splendid. I work out all the puzzles,
and read the stories and the letters.

I would like to exchange stamps and birds' eggs with any of the
readers of YOUNG PEOPLE.

I have been taking HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE from our news-dealer, and
I find it a very interesting and instructive paper for the young.

I will exchange foreign postage stamps and United States postage
and revenue stamps with the readers of YOUNG PEOPLE.

I would like to exchange a specimen of the soil of Georgia for
some of the soil of any other State.

I am collecting birds' eggs, and have about one hundred varieties,
but I need eggs of hawks, owls, eagles, whip-poor-wills, quails,
partridges, prairie-hens, terns, snipes, plovers, gulls, finches,
divers, loons, and other birds, and also the nest and egg of the
humming-bird. I have a collection of nearly six hundred stamps,
