THE CRUELTY OE COCK ROBIN.
To the Editor of Punch.
Sir,
A Proverb, unfortunately too true, informs us that the early
bird picks up the worm. Bearing this in mind, let me invoke the aid
of your powerful pen to denounce the conduct of parents who allow
nursemaids to take their children out for a walk in the morning before
breakfast at an hour when they are accustomed continually to behold
the spectacle of cruelty exhibited by the robin redbreast in swallowing
the earthworm alive. I appeal to you, Sir, in the name of
Sensibility.
A HANDSOME OFFER.
Mr. Charles Buxton’s contemplated entertainment to the Belgian
Volunteers having been unavoidably given up, owing to that gallant
and much-respected gentleman’s illness, Mil. John Baldwin Buck-
stone has kindly offered to entertain as many of our gallant Belgian
visitors as will come to the Haymarket during their visit; and, with
this view, is open to an offer from the Entertainment Committee. The
piece de resistance will be A Wild Goose, sent over from the United
States, as the canvas-back and other wild fowl often are, packed in ice,
by the Cunard boats. _
Addendum.
The Court Newsman requests us to insert the following line,
omitted by mistake in his gratifying mention that Mr. Edward John
Eyre, late Governor of Jamaica, was at the Prince of Wales’s levee
last week.
Mr. Eyke.— On his return from saving the Island of Jamaica to the Heir
Apparent.
FROM HORSEMONGER LANE.
“ The Messrs. Tattersall have begun their great yearling Sales
for the season.” The obvious remark, on seeing a horse enter the
auction yard, would be “ Tit for Tat.”
