7.20. "THE BABES IN THE WOOD."

[The following amusing critique or report of Artemus Ward's favourite
lecture entitled "The Babes in the wood" was written the day after
its first delivery in San Francisco, California, by one of the
contributors to the Golden Era. As an imitation of A. Ward's
burlesque orthography it is somewhat overdone; but it has,
nevertheless, certain touches of humour which will amuse the English
reader. Why the lecture is called "The Babes in the Wood" is not
known, unless it is because they are WARDS. -- ED.]
