There are four of us children in this house to enjoy HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE, besides our little wee baby, and we gave four subscriptions
on Christmas-day as presents to our little cousins, and they enjoy
the papers so much! But what we want to tell you about is our
little brother M., who is only four years old. A few days ago he
took his papa's mucilage bottle and brush, and pasted it all over
his little sister's face. They thought it was fine fun at first,
but lying down almost immediately to take a nap, when she woke up
she was fast to her pillow. Her crying brought us, and when we saw
what was the matter, we made him quite ashamed of what he had done,
and he didn't want us to tell his papa when he came home from
business. When he said his prayers at night he said, "Dear Dod,
pease dive me more ense [sense] o me won't do my little ister o any
more."
