I have two brothers, both younger than I am. We do not go to
school, but study at home. I would like to know whether you are
going to have a binding for YOUNG PEOPLE. I read the letters in
the Post-office Box over and over, and enjoy them very much. We
raise a good many chickens, and I have lots of pet ones, all of
which have names.

We have already stated in the Post-office Box that an ornamental cover
will be ready when the first volume is concluded.

I like YOUNG PEOPLE very much, especially the story of "The Moral
Pirates." I always read it the minute it comes from the
post-office.

NEW YORK CITY.

I am twelve years old, and a constant reader of YOUNG PEOPLE. I am
the boy who was buried under the snow, in the story called "Ned's
Snow-House," in YOUNG PEOPLE No. 18. I was very much surprised
when I read it, and it was some time before papa found out who
wrote it. I was nine years old when it happened.

I am the only white girl in this place that can talk English. I
have two brothers and one little sister. I am the eldest, and am
nearly twelve years old. It is very wild out here. In one of these
islands the people eat each other. There is no school here, and
mamma teaches me my lessons. Papa gets HARPER'S WEEKLY, and YOUNG
PEOPLE came with it. I send now to subscribe for it.

I am seven years old, and I like YOUNG PEOPLE so much! I often go
out to Spanish Fort, on Lake Pontchartrain. They have a pair of
goats and a little carriage there that children can ride in for
five cents a round trip.

I have a pet dog named Jack, and four pet chickens; and I had a
little canary, but it got sick and died. My dog chases my chickens
all day long, so that I have to whip him.

I live on the banks of the Willamette River. We are having lots of
rain here now. I thought I would write and tell you how much I
liked the story of "Across the Ocean." I liked
