Mary N. C., Cuba.—The beautiful little moth which flew on your table while you were writing, and which you inclose, resembles the Deïopeïa bella, which lives on the mouse-ear of our Northern fields. The size and markings are precisely the same, but the cross-bars on the fore-wings of the Northern moth are buff, while those of its Cuban cousin are delicate pink.


Anna M. M., and Agnes and Willie, Scotland.—We are very glad to learn from your neatly written letters that little folks in Scotland derive so much pleasure from reading the "American stories in Young People."
