"ALL ATAUNTO."

Tall Swell (who's very particular about Jus rigging). "Hullo ! DasS it ! Tut,
Tut—t—t—t ! ! "

Ungenteel Friend "What's the Matter? Come out without your
Pocket-haudk'chief ?"

Swell. "No, Confound it! forgot to Leave it at Home! Brought it
out in my Tail-Pocket !—Just see if my Coat Sticks Out ! "

WORKPEOPLE AND WAGES.

I like to see the Working Man

Pursue his upward way,
For still, deny it if you can,

" To labour is to pray."
I like to see him lay, or shape

The brick, wield saw or plane,
Or ply the glazier's blade, and scrape

His putty off the pane.

When up and down, and to and fro,

I view him sweejj the brush,
Then deftly "job " the paint on, 0 !

With sympathy I gush.
When he, with swivel-gimlet, drills

A hole, his levelled eye
I mark, until mine own so fills,

That I could almost cry.

But not a Working Man alone

Is he, who wage receives
For work in flannel jacket done,

Or done in his shirt-sleeves.
In Parliament both 'Squire and Peer

Are Working Men ; all they
Who do the work : their toil's severe :

They work both night and day.

A Working Man the Judge I call,

In wig, for paper cap;
The Bishop ev'n, though not with awl

To apron ou his lap :
A sight, when on his work intent,

Of quite as noble kind
As Odger would himself present,

His business would he mind.

The highest person in the State,

A Working Woman too,
Works always early, often late,

And harder, far, than you
To whose expense the Sovereign adds

Nought you can feel, ye sour
Small set of disaffected Cads,

Who grudge her Children's dower.

spirit that would deny them tea-spoons and tongs, a spirit_ akin to
JN'ick rather than to Nickel. However, we hope the advertiser will
sell the Spoons.

Address, &c.

The gentleman has a perfect right to term himself "pious." He
ought to know whether he is pious or not. But when he calls him-
self " educated," and then calls out for a Christian who considers it
a duty to befriend adverse circumstances, he suggests to us to ask
what is understood, in Liverpool, by education.

Here is another :—

/HOACHMAN AND GROOM.—First-class testimonials of ten years'
\J service from Sir William Macakthur ; none but a respectable family
need apply ; is open for a fortnight.—Apply, &c.

This haughty Menial (yes, a coachman dwells within your " walls,"
the word is rightly used) hails from a colony. WTe rather admire
his firmness of manner. He seems a person to be trusted to control
fiery steeds. But we do not understand about the fortnight. Pro-
bably, if within that time he does not obtain a coach-box to his
liking, he means to enter the Legislative Council of New South
Wales.

Lastly, here is a gem, set in silver:—

TO CHRIST1ANS.— A YouDg Man, never had the blessing of the use
of his limbs through being set on wet grass, earnestly solicits 42 postage
stamps. In return he will send, free, six best Nickel Silver Tea Spoons and
Tongs to any part of London.—Please address, &c.

After remarking that we were unaware that being " set on wet
grass " gave a person the use of his limbs, we demand why the
advantages offered by this advertisement are restricted to Christians.

REBELLIOUS RITUALISTS.
Some five thousand clergymen of the Church of England, includ-
ing Dr. Pusey, have addressed an appeal to the Archbishop of
Canterbury, entreating him and the other Bishops to set the late
judgment of the Privy Council in the Purchas case at naught. His
Grace has very judiciously replied by pointing out to them, that
they are asking the rulers of the Church to break the law. But
most likely they know that as well as he does, being most of them
Ritualists, whose subordination to ecclesiastical authority has very
nearly resembled that of the Clerkenwell democrats to the civil
government. Imitating the gentlemen of the pavement, the gentle-
men of the surplice, peculiarly addicted as they are to processions,,
will perhaps get up one of their own Romanesque sort, and march
with banners above their heads, and acolytes at their heels, to hold
a demonstration before Lambeth Palace.

More from Mrs. Malaprop.

Our esteemed friend has been spending a few days in the country,
which she says is looking dutiful. Spring flowers are springing up
in most luxurious confusion. Bandylions are abundant in the
meadows at the back, and her front garden is full of scarlet
agapemones.
