London, August 11.  The wit of children often strikes us
with a deeper impression than that of grown persons. . .
some boys equip'd in mock military accoutrements, such as
paper caps, paper belts, wooden swords, &c. were beating up
for recruits in Parliament-Street. . . young Kite then
delivered his speech at the drum head; after which many
boys, candidates for military fame, presented themselves to
be inlisted. . .
