BY CHARLES DICKENS. How extremely plain--not to say ugly--street-children often are! Theirhard life and the characters of their parents, cause it. This child, whois now staring in at the window upon a print of Sir Robert Peel, andflattening his nose against the glass, has a forehead "villainous low, "with dark eyes, and short dark hair, and his diminutive face, both infeatures and expression, is uncommonly like one end of a cocoa-nut. Whata sad lot for these children to be left thus--perhaps ev...en turned adriftby their parents, to wander about the streets, and pick up, here andthere, a precarious crumb! And now, as I turn round, I see three others, apparently in the same wretched outcast condition--two boys and a girl. The elder boy seems not to care much about it; he has, no doubt, becomemore accustomed to his lot. He is between twelve and thirteen. His voiceis hoarse, cracked, and discordant; perhaps by some street-cry. He has alarge projecting nose, red pulpy lips, a long chin, and a long throat, uncovered.
