There are several mocking-birds tame enough to build in our yard and raise young birds. The old ones sing all night when it is moonlight. I am seven years old, and began school in September.

I have taken Young People since No. 11, and I think it is a splendid paper.

I have only one pet—a black cat named Nig. He is very cunning. He will sit up as well as any squirrel. He never mews unless he wants a drink, or to run out-of-doors. He tries hard to turn the door knob himself, but has never succeeded.

I have postage stamps I would like to exchange with the correspondents of Young People, if they will send me a list of the stamps they would like, and of those they have to exchange.
