Thyatira, Mississippi.
I have written two letters to Our Post-office Box which have not been published; however, I will try again. I have been taking Young People for nearly two years. I like all the stories, but "Toby Tyler" and "Mr. Stubbs's Brother" are the best of all. I am a little boy ten years old. I work on the farm, but have just finished, and began to go to school last Monday. I have no pets except one sweet little sister; her name is Lucy, and she is just the sweetest child in the world. She is fourteen months old, can walk and talk some, and says, "Just lookie dar," and "Who is dat?"

I am a little girl twelve years old. I live with my papa and mamma on a large farm. I have three little sisters and one brother. I have been taking Harper's Young People for almost a year now, and like it very much. I have not very many pets. I have a horse, a little colt, and a cow with a calf. Mamma has two little Maltese kittens, and they are very pretty. We spent one winter out in Southern Oregon, where my papa owns a gold mine. It was very lonesome there, as there were very few neighbors. My two sisters and I go to school. The school-house is almost a mile from home. My youngest sister is the baby; she is thirteen months old, but she can not walk yet.

I am a little boy eleven years and a half old. I have been taking Young People since October, 1881, and like it very much. I have a sister and brother, each younger than I, and we have three birds' nests in our yard, and each one of the birds has four little ones. We fed them when they were little, but the mother did not like it, and one rainy day she threw one of them out of the nest, and we put it back again, and she kept it, and we never fed the birds again. I like "Talking Leaves" and Jimmy Brown's stories best, and I hope Jimmy Brown will write some more soon.
