You may not Iwlieve it but it was so, and I have heard tell of a good little girl, but I have nothing to say about that. The little boy I mean was a good boy and no mis- take, and whenever there is such a thing aa a little Imy being good, or a good boy being lillle, then we should know all about him. This little boy was called Paul, and a very good name it is. You can't make nick -names out of it, nor shorten it like Ned or Bill, nor jam it round like Jack, nor put a head on it like Nanny, or make a fool of it like Peg or Dick. It's a first-rate name is Paul, Ufough I do say tha'. whtn our Paul was nicely dressed and clean and looked handsome, the bad boys shouted after him " Pretty Poll," as if he was a parrot with a green ulster on him, and tine day when he was bringing in a little kitten under his arm one naughty boy said to another, " Bill," he says, " you cant te'l me what is that there goue round the corner. ' Yes. I can, ' Bill says, "iu a Polly gone. " "No, it isnt't, it's a Polly Puss." But our Paul didn't heed these naughty boys and went on being good and every one hiked him especially his two brothers and two sisters He was the youngest of five, and when he was very little he cned ever so much and his rude brother Ned said he wal the little pig that cried all the way home. For Jack was the pig that went to market, \fd the pig that stopped at home. Peg the pig that got bread and batter, and Nan the pig that got none, and our good Paul wan the pig thut cried and he did cry all the way home and all the way out. Cried while he was out and while he was home again. He cried so much when he was little that every one knew he would be good when he irrew big. He was good, however, and tho other pigs I mean the other children, were as mail a* mad could be when his father and mother made so much over him. This was after he stopped crying, but every one re- membered all about it, and they all said they were just as good as he was when they were little, and, indeed if yo-i went to that, better. " We never cried like he did," they all said, the next minute they disputed about this and then fought aixrHit: and Paul only looked on as much as to say, " See what it is to be good. " One day you know everything happens one day or another one day they -vere all allowed to go out and play in the green park, where they had big tree* colled forests, aim n .. 'o talk of hears and lions, anil bad old cows, and good .. birds and all that. The pig that went to market led tbe party and all the others followed, Paul the good and Ned the naughty and Peg and Nan. The two boys anu two girls joined bands around wiin Paul in the middle, and they told him he hadn't cried for a long time and that they would like to hear him now, and they howled and yelled around him and said they would nx him now for crying when he got big. Then he got all tbe toys, one naid ; and all the nice candies, another said : and all the nice clothes, another said ; and was tucken everywhere, tbe other said. " I'll get the big ram to hit yon in the eye," said Nan anH off she went for the ram, and Paul cried of course. " I'll get the wolf to eat you up 1U little Red Riding Hood.'' said Peg and she set off on a run for the wolf. "I'll get the uososris," says Neil, " and hell take you up on his horn," and away lie went. " I'll get the big. big lion," says Jack, " and he'll gobble you in one mouthful, ' and he was gone for the lion. So Paul was left standing alone aiul he howled just as bail as if he was a baby aitnjn. His father wan two miles away in bis olbce drawing % bill and ho heard Paul's cry, and knew it of course ; every one in the town knew it, so he started up town to see what was the matter. The first turn he came to the old lam was icanm; ro md the corner making straight for the p irk and I sup- pose for Paul's eye. The next street the wolf made up for the park but kept his eye on the ram ; tho 'noccros galloped along after the wolf and the ln>u dashed after them all. The wolf gut hold of tlie ram and was tearing it to pieces, when the noseeros come up and made a meal of them bulb ami was looking around for Paul when the lion jumped on to his back and then there was such a row. The lion bit him and clawed him and whipt him wilh his mil and stood him on bis snoul and played with him and then eat him all up. By th - t mil- Paul's father came along and ho shook his stick at the lion and the big big lion trot- ted away into the foicsta/.i'.n. He couldn't eat another lute, and Paul the good ran to meet his papa and they laughed about it all the way home. But Jack and Nan and Ned ami Peg were scared out of then wits md were all covered up in Iwd when all this hap|>eiied in the park. The almost unprejedcnled success of the Newfoundland seal fishery this year consti- tutes one my of sniishme in the it-l.md col- ony's gloomy skies.

On the cover of the souvenir is a picture of the western hemisphere iu which Vancimver oc- cupies a prominent place, while, as the CotoHul soys, " Vancouver Island is hardly seen alongside of it, and Victoria is not there at all. A slight examination of the engrav- ing shows that Victoria was on the plate originally, it* name projecting considerably into the Pacific Ocean, but that it won by some envious and very small-minded person scratched out." We see no remedy, how- ever, for this wanton slight save the publi- cation of another map of America, with the name of Victoria extending nearly to .1 tpan, and a hole in the ground represented vt the spot where the city of Vancouver appear.
