BOYS AND PYRAMIDS.

There are so many bright spots in the
life of a farmer-boy, that sometimes think
l should like to live the life over again l
should almost be willing to be a boy if it
was not for the chores. There is great
comfort to boy in the amount of work
he can get rid of doing. 1t is sometimes
astonishing how slow he can go on an err
rand. When he is sent to the neighbors after
yeast, he stops to stone the frogs; he is
not exactly cruel but he wants to see if he
can hit 'em. No other living thing can
90 so slow as boy on an errand. His
legs seem to be lead, unless he happens to
espy wooodchuck in an adjoining lot,
when he gives chase to it like deer; and
it is curious fact about boys, that two
will be power slower in doing anything
than one, and that the more you have to
help on anything the less is accomplished.
BOYS have a great deal of helping one an
other do nothing; and they are SO uncon-
scious. II went as quick as ever could"
saws one boy. when his father asks him
why he didn't stay all night, when he has
been absent three hours on ten minutes
errand. The sarcasm has no effect on
boy.
