LADY-PHYSICIANS.
Who ib this Interesting Invalid ? It is young Reginald de Braces, who has succeeded in Catching a Bad Cold, in order that
he might Send for that rising Practitioner, Dr. Arabella Bolus !
TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
A hint to Exeter Hall.
Does human kindness drain its cup
Eor black and wkitey-brown,
That still you cry the darkey up,
And bawl the planter down?
Reason is reason, right is right.
Though all the platform pack
Join in the cry that black’s so white,
And white so very black.
Justice demands an equal mind,
Unchanged her gauge should be :
And as we know that she is blind,
Colours she cannot see.
Fools think that nature draws her deeds
Like Lawyers, by the skin :
Her acts he only rightly reads
Who can read hearts within.
Then lay your suit of sables by.
Black predilections smother.
And listen to the white-man's cry—
“Am not / man and brother ? ”
That every question, fairly tried.
Two sides must have, is true:
If this one have its sooty side.
It has its white side too.
“ Pari Passu.’’—Serjeant Parry and John Parry walking arm-
in-arm together.
HOW TO WIN AN ELECTION.
Certainly they manage some things far better in Erance. We
learn, for instance, by a statement in the Pall Mall Gazette, that re-
cently at Yonne the votes of the electors were requested for a gentleman
who in his great modesty put forth no other claim to them than such as
might be gathered from the following placard
CANDIDAT AU CORPS LEGISLATIF.
M. FREMY,
INVITE DE COMPlEGNE.
This is a delightfully short and simple form for an Election address; and
to our mind it is just as good as one parading all the usual catalogue of
virtues which candidates possess. It is a pity some such form is not
adopted here in England. What a quantity of needless twaddle it
would save! Imagine if a candidate had Our august permission to
announce that he had been invited to 85, Eleet Street, and had been
received under the roof of Mr. Punch, what more would need be said
about his clearly obvious fitness for admission into parliament ? and
who would dare to oppose, or to vote against, a candidate whom
Mr. Punch in his great wisdom thought proper to invite ?
Warmth for Wilful Nakedness.
Now the inclement season of the year is approaching, our sympathies
are naturally excited on behalf of those poor creatures whose clothing
is insufficient to protect them from the wintry blast. Just at this time
no conduct can be more unseasonable than that of able-bodied paupers
in workhouses, who, on purpose to give trouble and annoyance, tear up
their clothes. Still, they should not be left to perish of cold ; and j
magistrates ought to be empowered by statute to order the backs of all
such perverse offenders to be warmed with a good whipping.
