A PIAZLING CASE BRILLIANTLY SETTLED.
In vest of snow-whiteness. and Boors of Jet hue,
A hair-dresser ran, we might rather say. Hew,
to rapid his pace, pnwder-bstr in his hand.
And turned into garter-street in the Strand ;
Where rounding the corner, In contact he came
With Sam, long accustomed Soot-ho! to proclaim.
So fierce the enncitcsion that both stngzeeti buck,
All white tee Soot-hearer, the Barber all hl.telt. •
Excepting his*Boers. for they lost their jet glow.
And seem'il as If reseed with flakes of pore snow;
For Soot versus Powder both haze were at work,
The Combatants fighting like Grecian and Turk.
Of Justice the parties now sought, each, redress,
And each his great damage now pr,ne to express;—
" Your Worship perceives," said& Indignant barber,
" This plight in, that no one my person will harbour;
My vestailetely white, with vile soot badly salts,
And worse the hair-powder that covers my Boors."
" 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 advised,
" Reflection," he said, " should be cherished and prized."—
" Refection!" the Frizeur exclaim'd, " Sir, 'tis gone !"
" Which way?' aslo4 theJusfice, "why sir,'lt is lacking;
For never the worth of reflection was knoun
The lustre when absent of WARIIV-.4 Jct Blacking!"
The Piro was received with eclat, and Sam Sweep
Reflection in pristine acuteness to keep,
Applied to the BOOTS a restorative hand,
Reneyping the visions distinctive and bland ;
The parties agreed, and each fairy-like shade
'Still prone is the Hair dresser's ROOTS to pervade.

Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
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.

That, he broke flints from the 14th to the 29th day.of Dee

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 altectionsto 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.
Your Petitioner has narrated these facts, got only on his
own account, but that of the paupers of England in general
' who, front an erroneous and most unhappy system of too-
nagement, have been reduced to a state of dependence snit
misery, the like of which no other people ever experienced:
awl which loudly calls for enquiry and amendment.
Your Petitioner has been conversant with the conditiol of
the labouring poor of England for upwards of 23 year.—
He has had better opportunities of observing this thao any
oth r individual; and by studying the poor law system
'prudently, as well as theoretically, as a farmer and ia-
bAirer, overseer and payer, at home and abroad, has not
only become impressed with a be.ief that this system ra-
qaires instant and earnest attention front the legislature, Gil
Ise infident that safe and effectuall pines may be atloptal.:4
*do it speedily and entirely away.
Your Petitioner had lung suspected that great errcrc of
opinion prevailed as to the poor-law system • but the futi'a
attempts at Reform made la your llnnouribil House, dar-
ing the twoisit S •ssions of Parliament, first gave positive
proof or this, which proof is POW corroborated by the Bill
now printeil for elro,,iderittiott—a Bill which threatens to
add tont' lion to confusion; a 1 .t whory overlooks the g•asel
mites of evil.
Your Peti•ioner assets that the Paupers of Engltna rs-
quire sebstantlal benefits and justice, not an enlargement of
mere Stat we la . to redress Mete grimaces. Toe 53:11 of
Oeorge 111. has been extolled as a wise Statute ; but yo it
