" CHILDREN" OF THE FOREST."
Another importation of these unsophisticated creatures—another
batch of O-jib-way Indians—has been brought to London for the
delight and instruction of a most thoughtful people. We hope that
we are not without due admiration for the Red Man as we hear of
him in the wilderness. His heroism, his activity', his powers of
endurance, are not, we think, lost upon us ; but, we confess it, when
the said Red Man makes a show of himself for shillings—when he
brings to market his war-songs, his war-dances, his war-paint, and all
the mysteries of the medicine-man,—we cannot consider him other-
wise than as a very miserable mountebank, in no way superior to
our Ma)-day sweeps and Jacks-in-the-Green. We think that any-
body who throws away a shilling on these mummers from the wilder-
ness, is shamefully neglectful of native talent, as sometimes exercised
upon stilts in our streets. The humble artist who, for " twopence
more " sends up " the donkey," is a practical teacher, a healthy satirist.
As we see the elevated ass, we may think of the strange manner in
which asses are sometimes sent up in this world. The lesson may
beget in us useful thought—may make us for the nonce wiser and
sadder men : now, the only feelings excited in us by the hooting,
stamping, grinning of Raging Storm or Bird of Thunder are those of
melancholy and disgust. We have, too, so much of John Bull in
our heart that we would dispense the patronage of our halfpence
upon the English maiden who, in spangled frock and trousers vaults
on a spring-board in the highway, in preference to laying out
shillings upon a greasy, painted, blanketed, Woman-of-the-apper-world.
Such a human rarity, however, is now at the Egyptian Hall. How
the poet Bunn, in his fine admiration of human exotics, could have
let her slip through his fingers, is certainly a reproach to his charac-
teristic watchfulness. After the Enchantress, by M. St. Georges, she
would have come in with excellent effect in a ballet written
expressly for her by another illustrious foreigner, A Mighty JRock or
Thunder Bird. With such foreign attractions, too, the poet Bunn
might have safely calculated upon royal patronage ; for, of cours-e,
under such circumstances, Her Majesty would have honoured
Drury Lane with a second visit in state. What was the bard about ?

sort of useful information which such an Almanack
would contain : —
If you ask the Captain, previous to going on

he tells you the sea will be as smooth as glass, you
must presume that he means glass bottles, which

Ireland, we understand, at the dictation of Daniel O'Connell, is
about to repudiate the shamrock, and instead of it to assume, for a
national emblem, the aspen, as typical of eternal agitation.
