to cook, and I am going to try some of the
recipes sent to the cooking club. I am going to my grandma's soon,
and I expect to have a nice time. She lives in a shady dell, and
we call it "Dell Delight."

I am a little boy eleven years old. My aunt in New York sends me
YOUNG PEOPLE. I like the stories and the letter-box very much. I
live twenty-five miles from the city of Atlanta. We have had
whortleberries, plums, and mulberries this summer. I go to school,
and I walk there every morning. It is a mile and a half away. I
have but one pet, a dog named Rover. My sister Addie has three
cats. One of them catches chickens, and my dog sucks eggs.

You can hardly imagine how much I like YOUNG PEOPLE, and how
anxiously I wait till it comes. I have two canaries. Dick is
yellow, and Bill is linnet green. Dick is tamer than Bill.

I am eight years old. I go to school, and am in the Second Reader.
We have all the numbers of the YOUNG PEOPLE, and papa is going to
have the first twenty-six bound. Mamma liked it so much that
New-Year's she took it for my cousins.

When we lived in Illinois papa was Adams Express agent, and we had
a horse named Adam. When my brother Charlie was four years old he
went to Sunday-school, and once when the teacher asked the class
who was the first man, Charlie yelled out, "Adams Express man!"

The first thing I read when my paper comes, are the little letters
in the Post-office Box.

If any of the readers of YOUNG PEOPLE have pet turtles, this is
what they can feed them with: Mine eat flies, bugs, worms, and
fish. One of mine is so small that a large three-cent piece would
cover it. Bull-frogs will eat these same things too.

I think YOUNG PEOPLE is splendid. The story of "The Moral Pirates"
is the best yet.

YOUNG PEOPLE is the best paper I ever saw. I like the story of
"The Moral Pirates" best of all, and I hope it will be a l
