We are five little children, and we live in the country. We feel so sorry for the little sick children in the city that we want to send to the Cot some money which we earned by picking blackberries and apples for mamma. We would like very much to send more, but we have no more at present. We will try to save some, and send some again soon. We sent once before; perhaps you remember it. We like the article in Young People about Egypt very much. When papa was a young man he was a sailor, and has been to Alexandria, in Egypt, and stood under Pompey's Pillar, and saw the two Needles which have been removed, the one having been sent to England and the other to America. That is why the article interested us so much.

I am eleven years old. My papa takes Harper's Young People for me. I have had it from the first number, and love it very much. I always look forward with pleasure to the day that brings it. "Mr. Stubbs's Brother" is a splendid story, and I am sorry it is ended. Last winter some little girls and myself formed a society, which we named the Willing Workers. We had four meetings at our house, made dolls' clothes, and sold them. Mamma looked over the work, and showed us how to do it right. This summer we had a lawn party, and altogether we made $5.25, which we want sent to Young People's Cot. Please send it for us. I hope my letter is not too long for Our Post-office Box. The names of the little girls of the society are Minnie and Mattie Lloyd and
Daisy Mason.
