The Decline Of English Manliness.

On Monday afternoon fifty strongly-built
and well-dressed Englishmen stood round the
basin in Kensington Gardens and deliberately
watched little girl of four years of age
drown in two feet of water. 1t would be
comfort if we could persuade ourselves that
tins chance sample Of the nation all happened
to be so exceptionally thick-skulled that they
did not know what to do in the emergency
but a review of the whole circumstances
admits Of no other conclusion than that they
did not care to wet their boots. An old man
who had brought another child out ten min
utes before; entreated them to repeat his
action, as he was himself too feeble at the
moment, but none Of the selfish towards
would move.

pole being too short the philanthropy and in
vention of the assembled company was ex-
hausted, and the poor child was left to perish.
