ment from prurient facts . A Telegraph leader upon such subjects as the Social Evil , or the Secrets of the Demi-Mo 7 ide i suggestive of kissing the daughter of the parson while listening to his sermon ! The words are very beautiful , but the act can scarcely be described by strict moralists as more than nice . As to the foreign policy of the Telegraphy it is only necessary to say that our contemporary , like all other right-thinking papers , is of the greatest possible assistance to the Emperor of the French . A sense of justice makes us hope that the Telegraph finds a recompense for this aid to his Majesty in something more substantial than virtue , which ( as we know while we are schoolboys ) is its own reward .
After we have admired the style of the Telegraph ( we prefer to leave the consideration of the law reports , & c , contained in the columns of our contemporary , to the Sattirday Review , which shares our admiration for the Penny Critic of Fleet street ) we come to the advertisements ; and here , again , our words are unnecessary , for all who have Ir-ead the story of the advertisement-canvasser , as told in faltering accents at Guildhall a week ago , will not need our testimony to declare that the TelegrapJi is the sternest of moralists . For the lowly nurse-maid seeking a place , the melancholy governess attempting to get a situation , a low rate of scale and much courtesy . But for the vile babyfarmer , and the viler quack , no mercy , no courtesy , no consideration ! Ah , wretches , they must pay ! But , there , we have attempted too much—the subject is too great for us . We fondly imagined "that the Telegraph would give us an endless theme . We were wrong—frankly , we were wrong . We admire it—we love it ; but when we strive to give . our reasons for our love and admiration we falter , and sink into silence . Sad thought ! can it be that we are misanthropes , and hate mankind ? It must be so , for the success of the Daily TelegrapJi testifies to Man ' s folly , ignorance , and even vice .
