A CRT FROM A BLUE•COAT BOY.—Though I am
only a little boy, I am sure you will hear what I have
to say ; for do you know I am very miserable, and don't
know what to do ? lam sure I'm ready to cry when-
ever I hear the little blackguards whisper as I go along,
"D'ye twig the Blue-coat boy ? It's only a charity.
school,' crikey! of a better kind." Now, it is'et any-
thing of the sort. It is true that the school was ori-
ginally founded for poor children ; but that's quite al-
tered now. My father keur.s his carriage, and many of
the young fellows are the sons of noblemen, and we are
all gentlemen, excsptirg the masters—l know we are.
There's nothing of the charity school about us. I be-
lieve it was so once, but that's long ago, and I wish you'd
tell people that our school is quite different from what
it was at first ; and I'm positive that every one of our
fathers pays the Income-tax and goes to the Opera as
often as he likes, and thinks nothing of a hundred or
two. . . . Oh ! I forgot : there is the son of a washer-
woman—his father was a tallow-chandler in the City—
but none of us speak to him. Not a word of this to any
one. I want you to support the school a bit, by just
telling the truth. I should cut precious quick—and all
the boys would too—if we thought it was a charity
school ; but I'm sure it isn't—is it now ?
