Harper's Young People, July 27, 1880 An Illustrated Weekly

"Harper's Young People, July 27, 1880" by Various is a children's magazine from the 1800s with stories and poems that are both fun and educational. It shows what life was like back then for kids, with adventures and lessons about doing the right thing. One story, "Poddie and Dick at the Free Bath," is about two boys who can't wait to go swimming with their uncle at a public bath in New York City. They're super excited and wonder about what it will be like. The story also makes you think about how lucky some kids are and how important it is for everyone to have a place to cool off in the summer.
