Our Young Readers.
THE MATTER WITH HIM.

He sat beside a blackboard tall, and slowly
drew dianeters,
And cried his many woes meantime in sound
ing Greek heXameterS:
He was Il pretty little lad who might have seen
twelve years or more,
And down his pallid checks did run goodly
quart of tears OF more.
He looked so solemn and so sad, though not
the least bit shy at all,
We could not for the life of us make out what
made him cry at all!
So coming gently to his side, in accents quite
mellifluOuS.
We asked the reason Of his grief if he would
kindly give to US:
ibid acme one do Il thing unklnd! .Dld sup
per not agree with you:
NV pretty boy with eyes Of blue, what can the
matter be with YOU!
"Alas," he said, and raised his head, while big
ger tears did flow and fall,
I'll tell you all my hapless case-youll see
have no show at all.
I'll tell you all my hapless case, the memory
which grieves me so,
And what the causes are which make me melt
in tears and leave me SO!
"You see I'm such little chap, I ought to
have no care at all,
Instead of which I'm getting gray, and soon
will have no hair at all!
From morn till night. and night TO morn, With
out the least apology,
I'm kept on high-pressure Plan OF study on
some 'ology. "
81 come of such learned race. and such illus
triOus pedigree,
That I'm brought up on such strict rules, it al
most breaks the head of me;
And everything | say Or do, they faln would
make q medium
For teaching me some truth remote, which mas
certain tediuIn. f.-
"suppose try to play Hop-Scotch-they talk
of trigonOmctry,
And squares on the hypothenuse, and angles
in geometry; .... ... .
If attempt to shy stone, or make short
gyratOn-then
They want to point a moral with some TACT IN
grayitatiOn then!
troll a hoop or peg IL top, and stralghtWay they
all look at me,
And shout out formulas and facts, enough to
make book, at me!
"Ispeak a wOrd-they want it spelled. and all
its derivations, Ma am
Oh dear! Oh dear! I'm sick to death of learned
innovations, Ma am,
Of History, and Algebra, and learned Greek
quotations, Muam;
I'm pethOric with Rhetoric-Pd rather change
my rations Maam!
mo wonder that I'd rather be Choctaw, or a
r. Cherokee!
No wonder that I sometimes wish they'd never
found Amerkee.
No wonder that ] wall and weep, and wish OF
wood this head of me.
And that never, nerer came OF such learned
pedigree!'
He ceased, and wiped his sweet blue eyes,. My
didn't he look pretty so?
never saw a little lad that did truly pity so!
And then we left him there alone, a-drawing
of diameter5,
And crying out his many woes in sounding
Wide A,Ualss.

viii We Import Meat!

The amount of fresh beef and mutton
now brought from Australia and New
Zealand to Great Britain is very large
and is constantly increasing. The best
scientific skill and inventive talent are
employed in devising means to produce
low temperatures and to perfect other
means to insure preservation. Large
capital and excellent business ability
are now employed in various enterprises
for supplying Great Britain with meat
produced on the islands that lie in the
South Pacific. The recent experiments
of bringing fresh meat from Sydney to
Glasgow ia sailing vessels have been en-
tirely successful. Now the question is
presented to the business men of this
country, why not bring fresh meat from
South America to supply the cities, on
the Atlantic coast? The distance from
