I think Young People is the nicest little paper I have ever read. I like the story of "Across the Ocean" best of all.
The 1st of July I read a letter from Canada, in the Post-office Box, saying that strawberries were just ripening. That seemed so funny to me, for they had been all gone for ever so long here. I feel so sorry for the Canadians, and for all people who live in cold countries, for it is so cold there in winter.
We have taken Young People ever since the first number. Papa takes all of Harper's periodicals.

I live in the southern part of this State, and I go to school when the school is open. I have not taken Young People very long, but I like it so much I can scarcely wait till it comes.
I had a pet goat, but I sold it, and now I have a very handsome redbird that my grandpa gave me. Its name is Bob. Papa made me a martin box last spring, but the bluebirds took possession of it. The English sparrows come on our porch, and eat the wheat Bob drops from his cage.
