afford him permanent occupation in a

received with great faver and will take

Yesterday l watched the happy
boys of Moncton, down on the river
bank, sliding down the long muddy in
cline, ending with plunge into water
that was q little thicker than the
banks they slid down. l remember
the game with vivid distinctness.
How often l have played it in my
days of innocence Coasting wasn't a
circumstance to it. And this mud
bank sliding has been popular among
the boys in all ages and countries.
The fun comes in when you slide over
a clam shell. One boy has just glided
over a shell now. | can hear him
