"TEARS, IDLE TEARS!" PUNCH'S picture, "When the Cat's Away!" Seems to have effect! The brutal "play" Of young ruffians, in at least two cases, Whipping has rewarded. What long faces TROTTER pulls! With his mild creed it clashes. Sentiment's eyes are wet--about the _lashes_! Howling brutes make mollycoddles snivel. Let the ruffians rail, their champions drivel. Brutalising to chastise brutality? 'Tis the merest blind sentimentality. Feeble men and helpless women save From the roughs, and let the weepers rave! * * * * *
