SCHOOLBOY LIFE

The following amusing letter from a schoolboy appears in an English paper:— " My dear Ma, —I wright to tell you I am very retched and my chilblains is worse again. I hav not made any progress, and do not think I shall, i am very sorry to be so much expense, but I do not think this schule is a very good one, one of the fellows has taken the crown of my new hat for a target, he has now borrowed my watch to make a water wheal with the works but it wont act. Me, and him have tried to put tljo .yqrka bayk, but we think aome of the wheels is missing, as they wont, fit, i hope Matilda's cold is better i am glad she is not at schule. i think I have got consumption, tho boys at tho aro n.Qt gentlemanly, but of course you did not know that when you sent me here, i will try not to get bad habits, tho trowsers have wore out at the knees, i think the tailor must have oheatod you, the buttons hayo oomp off and they aro loone at the batk. i dont think the food is i good, but should not mind if i was stronger, the peace of meat i send you is off the beef we had on Sunday, but on other days ! it is more stringay, there, are black beadles in the kitchen, anil.sometimes tht>y oook them in the dinner, which can't be holesome when you are not strong. Dear

Ma, I hope you & Pa are well, and do not mind my being so uncomfortablo because Ido not think I shall last long, please send me some more money, as 1 owe 8 pence, if you cannot spare it I think I can borrow it of a boy who is going to leave at the half quarter, & then he wont ask for it back again, but perhays you would not like to be under an obligation to his parents as they are tradespeople, & i think you deal at their shop. I did not menshon it, or I daresay they would have put it down in the bill.—Your loving but retched son."
