WHO ’8 HICKSON ?
Wje ’ve heard of TIervey, T. K. H.,
We’ve heard of Hepwobth Dixon,
We ’ve heard of Dilke, we ’ve heard of Cole,
But who is Mr. Hickson F
He writes unto the Morning Star,
Complaining folks play tricks on
The sacred fame of Henry Cole ;
But who the deuce is Hickson ?
He cries for justice in the tone
Of any angry vixen,
But, right or wrong, the question is
Who is this Mr. Hickson ?
We’ve read a rustic prophet’s works,
Who bore the name of Nixon,
He wrote uncommon nonsense, too,
Is he the same as Hickson ?
He testifies for Cole and Dilke,
As parties we should fix on
For all the honours in the world—
Who testifies for Hickson ?
The fact that he’s an awful pump.
We ’ll bet sixteen to six on,
Are any takers found to take
This sporting bet on Hickson ?
No takers ? Pitch his letter on
The literary mixen:
There let it lie till some one comes
And tells us who is Hickson.
And nobody will feel surprise
When Nobodies feel kicks on—
The instant they presume to teach
The world; like Mr. Hickson.

No Popery can be objected to the ladies undermentioned in an
extract from the Times:—
“ English Sisters op Charity.—The Sisters of St. Peter’s Home and Sisterhood
27, Brompton Square, have for some years been actively engaged, with the entire
sanction of the Bishop op London, in visiting the sick and relieving the poor in all
parts of the metropolis. On Wednesday, the 23rd ult., they opened a Mission House,
at 10, Frederick Road, Walworth, to carry out their charitable purposes in the
district of St. Paul’s, Lorrimore Square. ”
The entire sanction, not only of the Bishop of London, but even of
Exeter Hall, would naturally be given to the occupation of visiting the
sick, and affording relief to the poor. Such employment cannot be
supposed to have any special relation to the Seven Hills, and does not
at all connect the ladies who are engaged in it with any lady in Babylon
and scarlet. The fact that the charity which they practise is a cardinal
virtue, is quite consistent with their entire independence of Cardinal
Wiseman ; for, otherwise, it would have only the partial, and not the
entire, sanction of the Bishop of London, who, of course, would limit
his sanction of charity administered under the auspices of his Eminence, to
the distribution of coals, blankets, clothes, victuals, and drink, and other
corporeal matters. Exeter Hall, therefore, need not fear that whilst
the English Sisters of Charity distribute bodily necessaries, they also
distribute any spiritual superfluities,—their spiritual ministrations ex-
tending to nothing worse than good brandy, rum, and gin, too needful
in many cases.
This sort of practical Christianity cannot be carried on without
money; without which there is very little good to be done, how much
soever there may be wished, in this world, and benevolence is nearly
all talk and sentiment. But the Sisters depend entirely on voluntary
contributions, and, as the Times says:—
They therefore make an appeal for assistance to those charitable persons who
t0 r, eve vhe miseries of London, but who are unable themselves to search

be thankfully received at the Mission House, or bv the Rev. John Going, the
incumbent of th# district. ”
ample and certain income, derived from capital invested in Government
securities, or freehold land, or other safe property. These people must,
all but those who have a very dreadful skeleton in their cupboards, be so
happy, that any increase of their happiness can be hardly possible.
They can amuse and enjoy themselves every day of their lives without
any necessity to take thought for the morrow, or any day thereafter,
but the final one. Perhaps anything which would tend to reassure
them about that, might add to even their extreme felicity. If there is
any such thing which they can do, it is to be done, for example, by
sending as much aid as they can afford in money or kind to the Sisters
of Charity, or Mr. Going.

Mr. Punch observes the following advertisement in a Berkshire
paper:—

Pupils committed to his care to secure a continuance of the same.

It is matter of complaint that plain English is not taught in many of
our schools, but that objection can hardly be raised in the present
instance, as no English can be much plainer than the above. The
advertiser may even be thought to err in excess of frankness, but,
perhaps, like many other people, he may be indebted to the printer for
making his compositions more explicit than the writer himself
designed. We have pleasure in conserving this curiosity of advertising
literature.
