I was very glad when papa came home with a little paper for me, and I took it from his hand and looked at it for about ten minutes, and then asked him if he would take it for me. When he found out that I read it all through, he asked which story I liked the best, and I told him, "The Story of a Parrot." Papa takes Harper's Magazine, but I would rather have Young People. I have read all about the "Brave Swiss Boy," and I hope he will become rich.

Cousin Orla and I were delighted when Uncle Will (he is Orla's papa, and I live at his house) brought us Young People, and now we eagerly watch its coming every week. I think Watty Hirzel was a brave and noble boy to risk so much for his father.

Your nice paper comes with mamma's. We have had lots of fun with the "Wiggles." Won't you please answer this question: In our dining-room there is a big looking-glass. In front of the glass there is a table. When a lamp is set on the table, it looks as if there were two lamps. Please tell me whether the lamp on the table and the one reflected in the looking-glass will give as much light as two lamps.
