WATER BABIES IN THOUSANDS !—Aecording to
the whimsical babble of the Rev. Charles Kingsley
in his fantastic book all about Water-babies—All the little
children whom the good fairies take to,
because their cruel
mothers and fathers will not; all who are untaught and
brought up heathens, and all who come to grief by ill-usage
or ignorance or neglect; all the little children who are
overlaid, or given gin when they are young, or are let to
drink out of hot kettles, or to fall into the fire ; all the little
children in alleys and courts, and tumble-down cottages,
who die by fever, and cholera, and measles, and scarlatina,
and nasty complaints which no one has any business to
have, and which no one will have some day, when folks
have common sense; and all the little children who have
been killed by cruel masters, and wicked soldiers; they
were all there, except, of course, the babes of Bethlehem
who were killed by wicked King Herod; for they were
taken straight to heaven long ago, as everybody knows,
and we call them the holy Innocents.
Mr. James Ellis has added a new ballot divertise-
ment to his other attractions at the Criterion Hall
of Amusement, Leicester-square, the scenery and appoint-
ments of which are of the most magnificent description,
aided by an efficient and superior corps de ballot, appro-
priate music, and very costly dresses. The hall is nightly
crowded, and the approbation evinced by the visitors is of a
nature highly flattering to the proprietor, who has spared
neither pains or expence to render it equal to any other
place of entertainment in the metropolis.
