OK RrssELLIsS
|, -, Mca have their various whiras and fances,
And while the wsrld remains, tho chance is
Tia, every business, every trade,
viii find a worker for IL made.
And 'rnongs, ihsm all there will DO some
Zen, Oh ibe trade OF selling rom.
Now, John go upon the plan,
l6l every trade live II 1t can;
Take ell resisainis of law away,
And Jet each flourish as i, may,
lola We'll, let us sec--ihc highwayman
jus, gets his living on your plan;
Remove the laws restraints, he says,
And le, me plumber more or less.
Hen 60 with you for moral suasion
What time tue law its sanction laws on,
I}u, when he would his business ply,
lie lays his moral suasion by.
q, then. he cannot stop 10 parley-
Dead or your money that's it Charley.
Now that's his trade-and may he ply ii
because he gets living 10y it
And shall the law look on and say,
please, robber, try some other way
To earn an honest livelihood
DO now, kind sir wish You would;
This eetiig cash 10y lin, and steel,
think is rather ungoniecl
sarier Don't be so fast. did not mean
Robbers and murderers TO screen;
Bot such as follow lawful trades
Measures; and ceights, planes, and spades
in short, all those who get their bread
BY honest labor--hand or head
Jpha Well, then | take il, the rumscller
You call very honest fellow,
Who earns his bread as heaven direc ted,
And ought, OF couse. 10 he respected.
charles. Why, no, exactly SO, bu, s;ill
While rum brings money to his till.
He'll not be driven from his vocation
By penalties of Legislation,
Or aught, indeed, but moral suasion.
John. So. then, take it, we must 60
To Mr.. Nendcr, bowling low,
And scfap'ag 10 his mghiness,
With cap ~ hand, him thus address -
Dear trend, we are right glad 10 SEQ
You are still ont Of 81 ancery;
Your trading neighbours in that ship
Arc forced To take trip.
We hope you are get,ingtich by sale
OF rum and brandy, beer and ale.
We wish YOU we'll but we had rather
You would no, sell TO Jenkins father
The folks make such fuss abou, it,
Perhaps he'd do better without il.
We humbly offer the suggestion,
And hope you'd think upon the question
Whether YOU had not better quit
The sale of rGm--just think of il;
Would il not be eNpe1ient,
The public arc on IL 81 bent
ICi7'lg Enough of that; ger, mural snasion
Is quite too tame iut the occasion,
some better pleaders we shall fad
Who'll be as earnest as they're kind.
BY soli words when they're Gily spoken,
The venders' bones will soon be broken.
A large committee we shall raise
To lay before bim the whole case,
And they will SO his traffic show up.
That he the whole concern will throw uI
jobs l YOU would furnish committee
To move the vendors hearts To pity,
OF drunkaids, wives let II be made up;
And If I've Will not give his trade up
At such plea they might make,
lie wouldn't though the dead should walk
Such means have Oft been tried, but still
The vendors heart was in his nj
Hugging his bags where Satan's seat is,
Unmoved bv ihieats, tears and enireaiie
When you 10y h0Heyed gords persuade
These fellows to give up tier trade
Ill charm the leopard from bis range,
And coax him all his spots to change.
c4sr'e, Bot since the temperance war began,
We have persuaded many a man.
Without the aid OF legislation,
To quit the rumsellers vocation,
Aud II, with soft tongues we are blesi,
Wen coax or buy oil all the rest.
b., other times found other mea
Waiting in the rumseller's pen,
on feeling not yet berei,-
They had spark Of coneience left,
Which when blown up by temperance b'
As worthy washingionisns tell US. low
Forbade them longer 20 persist
In adding drunksTds TO the list
Bot now the men who drive the trade,
or sOmewha, Steiner stuff are made,
Aud DO for nothing care a straw,
But cat o'nine tails Of tie law.
Charles. j. mSy be SO I'll think Of il
Until some Other day We meet
