Bolax: Imp or Angel—Which? Being favorably criticised by priests of literary ability, is hereby recommended most heartily by me to all Catholics.
As a study in child-life and as a rational object lesson in the religious and moral training of children, Mrs. Culpeper's book should become popular and the jolly little Bolax be made welcome in many households.
Faithfully yours in Xt,
Dedicated to my best beloved pupils, especially the children of the Late Dr. William V. Keating, and those of Joseph R. Carpenter, by their old governess.
Only a boy with his noise and fun, The veriest mystery under the sun; As brimful of mischief and wit and glee As ever a human frame can be, And as hard to manage as—ah! ah, me! 'Tis hard to tell, Yet we love him well.
Only a boy, with his fearful tread, Who cannot be driven, but must be led; Who troubles the neighbors' dogs and cats, And tears more clothes, and spoils more hats, Loses more tops and kites and bats Than would stock a store, For a year or more.
