London Police Courts.

Very early In his career, in ''Oliver
Twist" Charles Dicken drew a terrible
life-like picture of the dirt, the squalor,
the fetid atmosphere, and the ruffianly
surroundings of the police Office, then
the scandal of Hatton garden, and, not
long before his death, the great novel
ist made incidental mention of
''villianous police court as place yet
actually existing. 1t did exist, says
the London Daily Telegraph. During
the fve-and-thirty years over which the
literary activity of Dickens extended,
the old police court in Bow street.-the
chief one, it must be remembered, in
the metropolis-ha undergone little,
if any, structural reform. 1t was to
most intents and purposes as ''villain-
ous'' as it had been in the days Of Sir.
John Fielding and Sir Richard Brine,
although, dirty, noisome, and uncom-
Portable as it continued to be, it was
considered a vast improvement on the
police tribunals of the the past. In the
days when Harry Fielding was a
stipendiary magistrate he sorrowfully
confessed that his stipend was made
up of "the dirtiest money in the world"

prisoners unprovided with bail, they
were comfortably handcuffed and flung
into the cellar or the coal hole until
such time as it suited the convenience
of the constable to drag them off to
Jail. A new, spacious, and handsome
Pile of buildings has arisen in lieu of

The Baby and the Soldiers.

Rough and ready the troopers ride,
Great bearded men. with swords by side;
They have ridden long they have ridden hard,
They are travel-stained and battle-scarred;
The hard ground shakes with their martial
tramp
And coarse is the laugh Of the men in camp.
They reach the spot where the mother stands,
With baby capping its little hands,
Laughing aloud at the gallant sight
OF the mounted soldiers fresh from the hgnt,
The captain laughs out: III give you this,
A handful of gold your baby to kiss"
Smiles the mother: "a kiss can't be sold,
But gladly he'll kiss a soldier bold.
He lifts up the babe with manly grace
And covers with kisses its smiling face,
Its rosy cheeks and its dimpled charms,
And it crows with delight in the soldiers
arms.
mot all for the captain" the soldiers call;
AThe baby we know, has one for ALL
To the ldiers' breasts the by is pressed
By the strong, rough men, and by turns ca
ressed:
And louder it laughs. and mother fair
Smiles with mute JOY as the kisses they share,
Just such n kiss cries one trooper grim,
"Vhen left my boy gave to him."
and just such kiss on the parting day
J gave to my girl as asleep she lay"
Such were the words Oh he soldiers brave
And their eyes were moist as the kiss they
gave.
