Mother, who left this little one on a stranger's knee, Think how cruel you have been, and how good was he! Think, if you've been guilty, innocent was she; And do not take unkindly this little word of me: Heaven be merciful to us all, sinners as we be! THE ORGAN-BOY'S APPEAL. "WESTMINSTER POLICE COURT.--Policeman X brought a paper of doggerel verses to the MAGISTRATE, which had been thrust into his hands, X said, by an Italian boy, who ran away immediately afterwards. "The MAGISTRATE, after perusing the lines, looked hard at X, and said he did not think they were written by an Italian. "X, blushing, said he thought the paper read in Court last week, and which frightened so the old gentleman to whom it was addressed, was also not of Italian origin."
