A SMALL BOY'S DIARY. 



There is a certain 9 year old kid in 

 this city who is keeping a diary. The book 

 was given him last Christmas by a relative 

 and his father had forgotten all about it un- 

 til he accidentally found the volume the 

 other day. Curious to see what his small 

 son had written in it, he opened the book 

 and found that the diary had been faith- 

 fully kept. Here are a few of the entries : 



"I am 9 years old to-day. Looked in 

 the glass, but whiskars aint sproutin' yet." 



"Sassed a boy. Got lickt." 



"Pop borrid 10 cents for carfair. That 

 makes $1.15 he owes me. Wonder if He 

 ever get it." 



"Jimmie stole my ball. I lickt 



him for it." 



"Ast Pop for some of my money and he 

 giv me a nickil. I want that doler." 



"We feloes got up a base ball club to-day. 

 Ime picher. If I had that doler 15 I could 

 get a unaform." 



"Pop got paid to-day and giv me my 

 money." 



"Mamma borrid a dcler. Dam these 

 people anyway. A felo : can't save nothin'." 



"Ast Pop about banks. I want to put 

 my money ware carfair aint so skarse." 



"Got lickt again." 



There was more of this, but Pop had 

 read enough. As a result, there was a con- 

 ference, and now the arrangement is to pay 

 5 per cent, a week interest, and settle 

 every payday. Jhe kid got his "unaform."

CAMPING. 



J. H. DYER. 



Now have come the days of autumn, 



To the wildwood let us go ; 

 For it's there we'll find a freedom 



That in town we never know. 

 There we'll wander through the valleys, 



And among the towering hills, 

 Where the waning sunlight glimmers 



On the rippling mountain rills. 



We will hear the ruffed grouse drumming, 



And we'll see the wild deer bound, 

 As it speeds from lurking hunter 



Or the bay of trailing hound; 

 But we'll harm no forest creature, 



Birds may fly and squirrels run; 

 .With the camera we'll hunt them, 



Not with life-destroying gun. 



Then at evening, when the sunset 

 Paints its glories in the West. 



We will light our cheery camp fire, 

 And around it talk and rest. 



Lulled to sleep by Nature's music, 

 Peaceful our repose shall be. 



O the pleasures of the woodland ! 



., O the joy of living free! 



■') 



Then a-camping we will go, 



Where the autumn winds sing low ; 



Where the tall oaks wave their branches, 

 And the sparkling waters flow.
