The hard-hearted impudence of these advertise
nents passes without notice, because in country
where thousands of educated persons cannot get
work n, wages, tens OF thousands will be ready
and viking TO work without; and, indeed, the ad-
vertisiog columns Of the public journals afford cx-
amples every day OF persons who ready to pay

artisans and laborng not yet come 10 this
pretty pass nobody thinks Of employing n brick

The Young physician, going about in suit OF
unliquidated .ables, and paying twice rs much as
he i, worth for foot square OF hall door IN a
genteel nciehborhood, whereon his name Is en-
craven in letters of brass, is glad to go rousd
aoiling his hat and bending his back TO a hundred
or more guinea subscribers to some hfth-rate dis
pensary, soliciting as if life and death depended
upon il. the sweet VOICES of a set whose brains
are most probably in their breeche, pockets, and
whose vulgar insolence is the only attribute that
does not smell of the shop: by these, or less or
more of them, this man Of medicine Is hniicd and
,cuffcd about because he solicts the distinguished
honor of attending their pauPer Proteses for
nothing.
The young lawyer, in like manner, is bilked Of
his fees by a rascally attorney who thinks ne does
wonders by giving the young man chance Of
distinguishing himself: the fellow would be
ashamed not to pay his chimney-sweePer. but will
feel no scrupe in Withholding the hire of the other
gentleman who may be obliged to put ms head

The poor clergyman about town Is reloced a.

who goes off with his family every autumn to one
or other of the waterlng-places the condition ef

The plague Of schoolmasters is upon tee land
hands are out of fashion, and nobody will coHde-
scend TO work but with tn If heads: the example
Of the Clerk of Chatham has been lost on this per
verse generation, and every mans child now comes
into the world with an inkhorn rornd his neck,
duire of foolscap under his arm, and pen behind
his ear: he must be lawyer, forsooth, as 1t the
world was only a larger Court OF Chancery, and
all mankind were at logger Reads therein: or a

daughters are TO be what they call accomplished,
which means, in English to be able TO do nothing
useful and the upshot of the iniatuation will be,
that in little time shall have neither butchers,
nor bakers, nor trlers, tailors, nor semP-
stresses, nor cooks: the living will devour the v-
ing, and the dead bury the dead. As 1t Is, every
