Kitchen Mesmerism.
Mr.. Hood, in the las! number of his maya
zine-and capital number it is-has some
witty remarks on Miss Martineau's letters
He concludes them with an epistle from one
of the inmates of the kitchen -
Dear Mary,-This Gums hoping yure we'll
and to advise you to larn Mismering. FITS dun
with yure Hands, and is easy as taking sites
at Pepel, or talking on yure fingers. III was
nigh you I'd larn you limo time to make Pas
ses, which is only paving like, without touch
in, at somebody's face or back, which gives
them a tit:eva,ing feeling on the galvanic
nerves, And then off they 60 into Trance in
a gify. and talk in their sleep like Orators,
should say Oracles, and anser watever you
ak. Whereby you may get your Forth told,
and find out other foxes sweethearts g. love
secrets, And diskiver Theaves better then by
Bible &, Key, And have yure inward Disor-
dels told, & watts good for them. Sukey's
was the indigestibles, and to take as much
rubbnb wonld hide shillin. All which
is done by means OF the sombulist, that's the
sleeper, seeing through every think quite tram
sparent, in their Trance, as is called Glare
Voying. SO that they can pint out mummy hid
under the Firth, & buried bones, & springs of
water, and vanes Cf mette, & menny things
besides.
"Yisterdy I was mismerzed meeself into a:
Trance, and clare voyed the chork Gout in
Johns stomach as plane as Margit Cliffs. So
7 l,,lI Il vi
rites should have been Collycinth, but forgot
the proper word. Howsummever he did eat
two large ones. and promises to cum round.
1T would make you split yure sides with
Latin to see me mismerze our Thomas and
make him 90 into all sorts of odd postures &
an.icks & capers like Dotterel, for watever
do he must copy to the swapping of a fin
ger, and cant object to nuthng for as the song
says I've got his Will and his power. Like
wise you can make the sombulist taste watev-
er you think proper, SO gave him mismeri-
zed Warter which at my Command is trans
moggIifed on his pallet TO Shampain and
makes him as drunk as Old Gooseberry, and
then he will Jump Jim Crow, or 60 down on
his Blended knees and confess all his pckadil.
los Witch is as dvertin as reading the Mlste-
ries of Paris.
s'The wust to mismerize is Reuben the
Cotchman, not that hes wakeful, for hes gen.
orally berry, and goes off like a shot, but he
went talk in his sleep only snores.
''The page is more passabe and very clare
voying. He have twice seed a pot of goold
in the middle fower-bed. But the gardener
wont have it dug up. And he says there's
SKELETON bricked into the stair case wall, so
that we never dares at mite to 60 up alone
Also, he sees Visions and profesy and

'sCook wants to mismerize too but wat " it'll
her being so much at the fire and her full hab
bit she always goss off to sleep a!ore the Som
bulist. But Sukey can do it very well. Tho
in great distress about Mrs Hardin's baby
witch Sukey offered to msmerize in loo of
surrup of Poppies or Godfrey's Cordial, but
the poor Innocent wont wake up again, nor
haven't for two hole days. AS would be
real bessin to Muthers and MUSES. in mod
crate way, but mite be carried too far require
Crowners Quest. AS yet that's the only Trial
we have made out Of the House, But we mean
to misnerize the Baker, and get out OF him
who does he really mean TO offer to, for he IS
quite General Lover.
s'Sum pepel is very dubbIns about Mismer-
ling. and sum wont have it at any price; but
Missis is is for il, very strong, and says she
means to believe every atom about 1t till snm-
boldly proves quite the reverse. She practi-
ses making passes every day, and is studying
Frenology besides, for she says between the
two you may play nponpepel's pennycraniums
like the Piany, and put them into any Key
you like. And of course her fust performance
will be Master piece on tie Head of the Fa-
mily.
ITO be shure it seems wonderful power
TO be give to one over ones Fellew Craturs,
and as might be tdrned to Divilish purposes.
But witch cant stop TO pint out, for maxim
the beds. To tell the truth. with SO much
Mismerizing going on, our Wurks has got
terrible behind hand And the carPits has not
been swept for a week. So no more at pres
