The School Boys.-We have been delighted lately to notice the revival of the good old fashioned sport of "driving the hoop."-Our streets alive with trun- ders-boys of all ages and sizes, from the little ur- chin whose world is confined to the pavement of d single street. and who never loses sight ohis fathers dwelling, to the rowing first form boy, who spurns all boundaries and is ever pursuing voyages ofdiscovery

 into remote and unknown regions. Then it is so amusing to see the democratic rogues taking possess sion of the side walks and sweeping all clear before them The ladies scold, and the boys laugh; men threaten, but the lads push on regardless of hounces and furbelows, silk stockings white pants. It is somewhat annoying, to be sure; people not fond of hopping off and hopping on the pare, every few minutes to accommodate boys; but then who, that has not veruice enough in hls composition to acdulate an ocean ofbenevolence, can say to them nay! who would anticipate old time and cut down enjoyment

 in its blooml Not one unless he has lost all remem- brance of the past and forgotten the innocent pranks of his boyhood. Drive on, boys-never mind wear

 ing out your shoes, let who will pay for them. Ii will be your turn to pay next, and then you will probably give your boys as good advice as we have given you.-Boston Transcript.
