The singing and piano accompaniment
were under the charge of Mrs. Packard.
wife of Hon. G. G. Packard, a member OF
the city Board.
The speech of Master Richard Schroeder's
soliloquy, WAS among the best Oratorical
efforts we have seen in any of the schools.
We copy it entire, as follows:
ooh, would were boy again!" don't
see why in the world father wants to sin
that forlorn ditty so much for, and says
with sigh, my dear boy, you'll never be
SO happy again as you are now" and grand.
ma looks doleful, and chimes in with the
"gold hours of childhood l wonder
where the gold is. If got a penny some,
times when / was a little youngster, l
thought was we'll off, and always felt very
sorry after had spent it--that Is, after the
cakes were all gone, and then somebody
was always ready with, "Why, my dear
boy, you can't eat your cake and keep IL
too" Well, know that, now; but there's
something don't know, that Is, where all
this great pleasure is in being
a boy. When l was five years old,
and had just begun to enjoy some,
sit on high bench, and no cricket, and had
to say A, till everything looked upon, even
my mothers face, seemed one big A. And to
crown the whole, was a Ounce. for it took
me three weeks to get on to B, and good
deal longer learning to C through the alpha.
bet. When was Older, l had the satisfac.
ton of being called a great awkward boy,
even by another, and when would try TO do
my best, l was invariably laughed at. Ii IN
coming into the room, happened to upset
half dozen chairs, litter was raised. and,
"Oh he's a boy!" considered sufficient
apology. If l played with the baby, was
sure to make it cry, and the nurse would
look all around to see if had pinched 1t
Boys" she said, ''were always full of such
tricks"
Woe be to the boy who is the only one
among whole lot of girls. Why, l have known
them to do all sorts of tricks, and John
that's my name-always got the blame.
And then it was, John, you're bigger than
Mary. put up this clothes line,' or John.
you're great boy, and must learn to work;
90 down into the cellar and split some
wood; John, run up into the garret and
bring down squash or two, or go to the
wood house and get some kindiing wood"
Sisters can do anything they please,
even to wearing false hair and every other
false fixing, and nobody says word; but
the first time l put on dickey it was as
much as my life was worth to meet with
the family. I thought could bear it like a
hero, but the "ohs" and ''ahs !" the pulling
the points up over my cheeks, the mock
salutations to Mr.. Sands, the derisive
laughter was more than l was prepared
for. and actually ran from the house.
while all the girls shouted after me, "Good-
by, Mr.. Sands; take care OF that new
dickey!"
And so it is in rything; it seems strange
that even men who profess to so much dig.
nifty after they are twenty-one should have to
submit to SO much indignity up to the very
borders. It's curious, and 1t puzzles me;
it's fact in metaphysics which can't ac-
count for, and don't suppose l ever shall.
It's martyrdom, and you won't catch me,
after I'm twenty-O one, singing 81 would l
were boy again."
