A GOOD REASON
It was a red-letter day at one of our large schools, and the boys were under examination in ' optics.'

The doctor, to make the matter plainer, said to the wag of the class: 'Jackson, did you ever actually see your father?' Bill promptly replied: 'No sir.' ' Please explain why you never saw your own father.' ' Because,' replied Bill, very gravely, ' he died before I was born, sir.'
