"Harper's Young People, November 7, 1882" by Various is a collection of children's literature written during the late 19th century. This periodical includes a variety of engaging stories, poems, and articles aimed at young readers, encouraging both educational and moral development through entertainment. The opening portion of this issue features several works, including the gripping tale "The Wreck of the Juno" by James Payn, which recounts the harrowing ordeal of the shipwrecked crew and passengers, focusing on the struggles and bravery of Mrs. Bremner and the second mate, John Mackay. Readers are introduced to the dire circumstances they face—fighting against starvation and the elements while waiting for rescue. The vivid descriptions of their suffering and the human connection among them, particularly between Mackay and Mrs. Bremner, set a dramatic tone for the adventures depicted throughout the issue. Other contents include charming poems and stories designed to amuse and inspire young minds, reflecting the values and interests of children in that time.
