"Portugal.

    The Portuguese are intensely fond of their children, and are apt to indulge and spoil them. The little meninos go quite early into long trousers, and the subject of our picture, who lives in northern Portugal, seems very proud of his grown-up garments. Quite young boys are often to be seen in the streets of Oporto in charge of the clumsy wooden carts drawn by long-horned oxen, and carrying great casks of port."
