RADICAL REFORM.

THIRD DIALOGUE.

Ilonoe—There he is.—l was persuaded to leave
off the club at the 'led Lion by his discourse, but
thou hast half brought me back again, Dick ;
thou hast, I promise thee.
DicK—Hang him, he's not worth our minding.
I dAre say, Frank's in the pay of the Ministers ;
or he Would not he so sharp upon our party,

HODGE.-. 4 can't say how that be ;—hut his ar-
guments seemed pretty fairish, I thought ; and
therefore I never troubled myself about his reasons.
for using them.
thcK-'L--There you're clean wrong, Master
'lodge. It is a regular rule in our club, that
whenever a man argues against Radical Reform,
he is in the pay of the Ministers ; and whoever
is in the pay of the Ministers is not to be lis-
tened to.
Horace—Aye, that be what the Chairman of
• our—Meeting calls Logic.
DICK-1 know nothing about Logic—not
All 1 know is, that such be the directions sent

down to our club from the head folk in London ;
and so I am hound to think accordingly.
• Hopon—And that be what you call Liberty ?
For my part, Frank's way seems to have more li-
berty its it i for be teaches me to think for my-
s,elf.

DlCK—Don't mind him. I warrant yon, lie
was preaching up quietness and religion, and ---
I-lopoe—And industry. Troth was he, Dick.
For, says be, be times never so bad, even hstil
wages are better with industry, than idleness with
DO wages at all.
Dicx—Hang work. I never could abide it
since I became a Radical.
HoDGE—Hang work !—I dont understand thest

matters thoroughly, D:cli ;—brit common sense
tells me, that when a poor man has once brought
himself to cry—" hang work !"—the law will
soon cry—hang the idler !
DICK—You talk like an. old woman or a par-
son, Hodge. Wheat we have once got Radical
Reform, law and religion will be off together
and then, we may snap our fingers at Hangman
or Devil
'Juno e--7(calls out) Frank ! Frank ! Come
hither, lad ; ~rid talk with poor Dick.
FZZANIK—(at a distance) --;Pce,cnily, Hodge.
prese6tly. lint just finish this little job, and
be r,ith you.
DlCK—Thcre's a fellow !—He wont leave his
spade for-am few minutes, to -chat with a couple of
old companions.
HODGE—ft he knew your wicked speeches, hed
come fast enough.—(Calls again)—Frank, I say,
here's Dick talking so idly.
FRANK—(as bcfore)-1 dour doubt him ;--but
1 can't afford to be idle too.
be's talking worse than idly —I
tell thee, he i, talking like Tutu Paine and Carlilc;
(pine blasphemously. .
FRANK—(rumding, up) S°av, stay, Dick ! don't
you talk in that way, and be with you.
Hoooe—Aye, I knew :hat would fetch him.
Frank's the lad to talk with you, if you begin
pint. Radical discourses, I promise von.
DICK—May be so ; but he won't find it so
easy to talk me over as souse folks.
FitaNK—{Coning up) IVell, Dick, here I have
left my work to converse with yon, I had rather
leave it undone than you should talk wickedly.
Diet;—l want no sermons out of the pulpit,
not I.

llonGE—Nor in it, I fancy ; thou !Mt not
been at Church these ten SinniAy*.

DicK-1 had no time for CI uich. What be-
tweet) &Wing in the tieldi, and reading Paine's
works in the tap-tuotn, I had scarcely an hour
to eat my dinner.
FLANK—Thou shewest little gratitude for that
sgine Owner to (Intl or man, in learning- the use
of HrinS to overtuvn t 1.,, State, or the use of
blasnhetny to (kstrov :he Clwrcit.
DICK—We Radical t'ro't care a fig for one or
the other. i'erfcct equality, say I ; and, by the
powers of 11,4iliealkin I swear, we will have it.
Hot GE—Lord ideas tire, how he do swear!
Talk to htto, Ir't auk, as yon talked to cue yes er-
dJV about this sante equali;y.
FitANK—I must first know what sort of equality,
he means ; because there one sort wi,ich I
mai,!lr suspect he be no iricnd to.

Diex.—To r4i.salitv, al; soils and every sort
-

niANK—Pin glad to lsear thee say so, Dick ;
,for Blatt a friend to egicality of Law; mid
may'st spate titysclf the tt•wit)le of lookiog tittrr
What tiactu taa,t already.

DICK-1100 Criti thltt be, Mien (Ile Liw Linde' ti
Alf taking Landlords' es,:itcs trnnt ?

1-IODGI,:---11::!CAUSC it also hinders Landlord from
taking away your cottage, or refusing von vonr
wages. I learned that much from Frank's con•
versation yt.sterday.
DicK—But / want that sort of equality which
will wake 144udiord divide e!itate with me.

Wi It you iiloile ; tor that

that would give every body about four act es

a piece.

McK—And then we'd divide the money ;
which ntayhair wo•dd give us four guineas a piece
into the bat
FRANK—Like enattgli.—But the woods, and

FIZANK—YOU must find purchasers first ; and
