" And who in his seraice," asked Soot-ho, " will keep, A dandefie I, powder'd, full dressed Chimney-sweep?" The Justice was puzzled, and friendship advis e d, " Reflection," he said, " should be cherished and prized."— " Refection!" the Frizeur exclaim'd, " Sir, 'tis gone !"

SOCRATES, by his Discourse on Marriage, so enrap tured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded; and "'Pie Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the niost agreeable and delightful name in nature. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap piness on Mirth. but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli gation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passir.ns, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect - of such attention are attributable, many of those hapless instances, which while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious Wilts will effeminize the hotly—a residence in the tropics will reiax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently com promise the natural dignity into a mate of inanition, from ...hence the eironized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, the we address ourselves, offering hope—energy--musculer strength—felicity: nor will our advances appear questionable. sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience. The easy cores of married BP aressnmetimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings whica concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as wel as in every ressation of the generative economy. We pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with egeo.

That. on Mondry, the tGth September. he attended the select vestry, in church assembled. and did receive 4a. from the overseers as payment for his labour. but which, with 2s. and ed. previously received, he considered to be 3c. 6d. be low the.real VRitle of his work, whicli could not be fairly es tmaled at Jess than 10c. %hot the seed vestry, then consulting dogethet, told your Petitioner :bat they would g•ve him no wore empit.d, anent till .a general vestry was celled and met. Thal,.ou the Olth September. the vestry being met, came %line resolu'inn of .paying vont. Petition-r a weekly allow ance of 4:. (4. without requiring nay labour. That your Petitioner did not complain of. this arrange mew, 43: fouril, unct settr - .1 weeks consideration, that he PRICE SEVEN PENCE. could not be happy in the receipt of pay without wink, sad did not receive the pay offered : that on the lath October. attending the select vestry meeting, be agreed with the said vestry to break fli , M. by the load, at the rate of 4d. per load. to the amount of fs. lid. per week, and then to receive-She stated pay. That, he broke flints from the 14th to the 29th day.of Dee tober, and 'found himself able to break double the tuailtity which he was allowed to break ; found in fact, that he'boald earn fairly at the rate of the @wintry, 9s. a week, by breek• ing flints. That, on the 28th October, he attended the select vestry meeting, and r:ceived from the overseer 9s. for the lon night's work. That, on the 11th November, having spin accomplished his work, he attended the select vestry meeting, whendhe overseer paid him es.; but refused to pay bins the felt amount, which was then due, and which had been agreed for with the select vestry. : That, your Petitioner laid before the Magistrates, Assem bled In petty sessions, in Fisherton, near Salisbury, oath. 120Notteiuber, a memorial stating his . case, and prey ing for summonses to procure redress, but was refused, although he c!esrly ex plat ued by word of mouth, that he was injured by breech of contract. That, he then returned to his labour of breaking flints, and on the 23th November, received Gs. from the overseer for the same. That, on the 27th November. while peaceably emytny el at his work, the overseer rode up to him, an I said he would pay him no more money. That, on the 9th December, he attended the select vestry meeting, and was refused pay for the work then completed. That, on the 10th December, he made complaint to the Magistrat s in petty sessions, and obtained a summons for the appearance of the overseers on the 17th of the same month in Salisbury: that the overseer did appear there on the day appointed ; was ordered by the magistrates assem bled in petty sessions to pay, anddid pay to your petitioner, the es. due for work, before going out of court. That, the overseer on his way out of court desired your petitioner to return him the hammet which he had given your petitioner for the purpose of breaking flints ; and said that if it aas not returned, he would serve your petitioner with a summyms for the same. . . That, on the 23d December. your petitioner having again broken a sufficient quantity of hints, attended the meeting of the select vestry, and received for his vri•rk es. being the first settlement without disagreeable words. That, your petitioner having been absent from the parish for twelve weeks, did net again apply to the overseers for pay till the 17th March, 1523; that the overseer then offered es.; but your petitioner remonstrated against this payment, ae too little, because of bread having risen in price from Is. to Is. 3d. the gall.m loaf; that, nevertheless, the overseer refused any greeter allowance of pay, and forced your peti tioner again to apply to the court of magistrates, **Lich he did, in Salisbury, on the 19th March, 1523. .That, the court, after parties were heard, orderer: tie overseer of Wily to pay to your petitioner an addi:ionsi al lowance of money, proportioned to the rise in the price of bread. which, however, yot:r petitioner declined to rece:ye. havii gdone no labour for the same; and being tl.en, from change of circumstances, able to live without wish aid. That, your Petitioner left the patigh of Wily on the 23d December, 1822, find mg that fli. ts could no longer bets:visa because of the frost, and was cherished by friends for one month In various parts of the coantry. That, the heart of your Petitioner becoming more warns from the kindness of friends, he felt disposed to apply certain sums of money which 11311 been remitted him by other friends to defray his expects , s on • pedestrian excursion, to see and be ably to witness the miseries endured by the por r of Eng land et large, during the severity of winter, mad under the ' influence of poor laws. That, your Petitioner. journeying w:th this intent, passed through the counties of Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and returned Into Wiltshire the 6th of March, 1823. ~Tht, your Petitioner found Mat the labouring poor, in a certain parish In Dorsetshire, could not purchase fuel ; that tjmy stole the whole of what they used ; and sent out their little children to steal the same: he also found, that such was the case in other parishes both of Dorset and Deion. That, your Petitioner found that the labouring poor of a certain parish in Dorsetabire were yoked together. and em ployed to haul materials for the repair of roads, itf carts; a practice which had gone on for several years. That, your Petitioner found that the labouring poor did not, notwithstanding the greatest hardships, cease to marry and procreate children ; that, particularly. he found that a young man of Dersetshire had just then married, applied to the magistrates for reliefond received as order to be reliev ed to the amount of 2s. per week. That, your Petitioner found in Devonshire, a county con taining the best breed of people in the kingdom, most civil - and handsome by nature, and where schools prevail MO:A than In most parts, that there were more frightful ruffians among the paupers titan in any other quarter; and th t ascribed this to the practice of apprenticing out children of the poor at nine' years of age, under which practice the children are generally taken away from school ; neglected, in habits of church-going ; esnosed to horrible usage ; and weaned from natural altection s to parents. That, your Petitioners fund, in a parish of Corawall, fishers spAnding their tine in tedious idleness ; living upon a miserable parish allowance ; and taking not the smallest thought of how they they might better their condition, either by water or land; that this state of things was spreading among fishers in other parishes ; and could clearly be traced to the poor-law system, as its principal source. 7 hat, your Petitioner found the miners of Cornwall and Dzvonsitire earning high wages, and occasionally receiving .. large sums of money ; but nine out of ten of them squan dering the whole away, and making no suitable provtsias for old age or infirmity; a coasequence of bad training,. deficient education, and poor-laws. That, your Petitioner, throughout his whole journey, faunit the condition of the labouring poor wretched In the extreme, and greatly changed from what it was when he made a jour ney 22 years ago, fur the same end of enquiring into their condition,' !trough several counties of England, under Vas auspices of Government. lie found them now, general's. deprived of all property; living in ruinous cottages ; vi :1- ling to work; no *mere Cully employed; and every where, though starving, shivering, and in rags, bearing up, unuer calamity, with a peaceable, but sinking spirit.
