Very small boy, quite tozeited,
Shows by antics, ko's delighted,
Surely must 1.0 mad, donionted,
Break the Imago if not prevented !
Flies up stairs, then down111 cellar,
Vita the baby 1)1 (11 "smeller,"
Kielts the 10 1(17 knocks him stiff,
Flings pad! dworil "Id bill ?"
Now, he stops and quiet elands
At the glass and throats Ids hands
1(1 MP pockets deep Mill 1(1110
Iiintocif tal every side --
Thinks that now he'll "have to shave 3"
Ail 1 31.11 roguish, dimpled knave
,liabybot el is past and gone. --
Boyhood's days have just krill --
And, to hind above mulled riches
Is his new, first pair of breeches
I KNOW.
110)10 to -day the golden Pon
Is lying in my little room,
I know tho 111,100, OTC*" OM,
Aro bursting into bud and bloom ;
And on tho curtain, to and fru,
The trembling shadows come and go.
I know tho birds, just as or old,
Aro fashioning their dainty nests,
There are 801110 with wings like burnished
gold,
And robins With their orimson breasts;
Dear Bobitts that 11070 COMO 00 long,
A brought new meanings to (heir song.
And there beneath tho sheltering eaves,
Far out of reach and way of harm,
They sit and brood, while clustering leaves
'wind swept, 811131 1100 and o'or the song—
The song of Life that Nature stngs,
That wells from out the heart of Springs I
I know tho tender hawthorn hedge
Is wearing emerald 0101(11 to -day ;
That 'woodbine by tho garden's odgo
With every breath of wind doth sway;
1 know the lansy's tender eyes
Aro looking upward to the skies,
Aud that, like sentinels by the gate,
My maples listening ever wait.
TO THE AFFLICTED.
What is that singing that 3hear,
idomewhere round about my ear?
Why, really, it must bo, I fear,
Mosquitoes.
What id this little insect that
011 roy wrist this minute sat
1/o not you call this long-legged gnat
Mosquito?
Oh I whet is that which made mo start,
Such a altarp and sudden smart,
Just on that unprotected part !
Mosquito.
What. is it makes me "bob" my head,
At home, abroad, and 0111 hi bsd I
These are the things I so much dread,
Mostplitoes.
Whence oonws the irritating bump?
That }torrid beauty -spoiling lump ;
Oh I when I catch tlum (001111 thump
Mosquitoes.
0, well, the colder weather brings
Relief from those tormenting things,—
Thirsty bloodeockers on wings—
Mosquitoes.
There have been plagues of deadlier sort,
Still, may your sanguinary sport
Be limited to season ithort—
Alosquitc os.
CANADA .
Tho grand old woods of Canada 1
Row cool and dim below
The Outdo of their sweet rustling loaves?
SWift.changing webs the sunlight weaves
Where ferns sod mosses grow.

By fair St. Lawrence to tho main,
As ocean wild and free.

To myriad flowers, whose blushes brrgh

Whyllo Omit Skate -
For a long time I have evaded the
taelt of greppling with the great na-
tional queetion, but now I fear that
1 09.11 escape the responsibility no
longer, Hundreds of ;undone goo
aro watehing fur the coming man to
rime fearlesely, and in clarion tomos
refer to this matter in tonne that
Cannot bo misundereteoll.
In the Luiguage of our great statee•
man "I have come,"
I now express toy opinion iif the
roller eliciting ri li k, and I say fear -
leerily that, as Goon ne 1 entered the
the memo, and had put on the skates,
Wits also down iihutoo rruk, I Watt
also down on roller skatoe. When 1
get roller slates on it does Hot talc()
me keg to fall ou myself.
Atter thoroughly investigating the
subject I have di/Idled that nulees
this great curse can be wiped out tLe
whole country will be plunged into
arnica.
I tried on roller skates tho latter
part of February 1885, and the Oth
of March I was (might in the bosom
of a vigorous blizzard, bat now how
peaceful and restful the Canadian
cyclone setimed after my znatinoe at
the rink ! How the wearied anti bat-
tered hulk of humanity that now
pens those few lines, cuddled up to
the fierce ,Tatnosoane
After I got clown on the rink, I got
the authorities to come and remove
my skates, 1 had veld 25 cents to
enter the riuk, and when I came
away 1 felt tickled to death because
the propreitor did not make me pay
damages for sitting down so hard on
his nice tosvn hall floor go that the
rink has always sagged a little since.
I am having a ring designed for
my men special use next season. It
is to bo a large structure, covering
about two acres of ground down on
the otImMons ana floored with hall
inch iron plates, 011 top of ethics'' will
bo half inch rubber plates. In the
centre there will be a turn table, on
which I oan glido when 1 wish to
turn.
Tho skates will be roomy to a
fault. They will be made to order
out of condemned 0. 1' It. fiat oars.
My rink costume will be unique
and attractive, consisting of elarge
overcoat stuffed with curled hair and
woven wire inattiaes bustle trimmed
with overskirt nf the same. In front
I will be protected by a largo feather
cow -catcher held in place with exten-
sion draw heads. I will then get in-
to the midi and run wild. Regular
trains will have to rule track until
they got orders.
Parties desiring to come and wit-
ness my little fiat car tournament
will do well to wear baeeball masks
and settle up their business before
they enter the rink, for I want it un-
derstood thot I am only a novice. I
am not accustomed so rido the roller
skate, and my legs are ft little occult-
rio on their orbits.
Tho performance will open with a
flat -oar promenade to slow musics . by
the City band. I will then enter the
rink on my graceful skates and glide
around the turntable to the musio of
Strauss waltz, I will next come in
and fall down three limes in rapid
succession, after which there will be
an intermission of two weeks fox re.
freshments and change of scone.

And still there is a natnelese fas•

Though the owner of tin rink will
not allow the to skate whilo other
reople aro in the building, I love to
go and watch the skalere and hold
their shawls while fbey skate, or
