NEW YORK CITY.

We had a fair at our church last month, and mamma taught me how to

make some flag pen-wipers for the Sunday-school table. They were

sold for 25 cents each. I wanted to send some money to Young

People's Cot, and mamma said I might send what I could earn; then

it would be truly mine. I made five more pen-wipers and sold them,

and one gentleman gave me 50 cents for his, which made $1.50. Then

I sold some papers, and grandma gave me some money for hanging up

my cloak when I came in from school, as I was in the habit of

throwing it on the lounge. These altogether made $2. I have two

little brothers who are going to try and earn something soon. I am

eight years old, and go to a Kindergarten.
