Drrs. yu,s.-The BARRIERS Chnir.

Douglas .ferTOld makes sharp "'un" out Of
Mrs. Nuts. She has no notion of your iiberai
msn--your progressves-your reformers. None
such ought to have wives aae children. She
don't like the Jews bit, and never heard Of
Luther. And does not she make strong easel
Hear her, In her husbands barber shop, as she
hears or chats with customers:
Slo,sgoe. In course, Mr.. Nuts, after this
session Of Parliament you'll shave for ha'-
penny'
Mrs. Nuts. From back parlour.) A ha'pen-
ny! With soap at its present price! Besides
the disgrace Of doin' things cheap! Not IL
know my husband, Mr.. Slowgoe.
SlOegOs. Oh, you must indeed, Mrs. Nuts.
You must so with the spirit Of the times.
Mrs. Ntns. I'm tired o. hearing Of it.
Spirit Of the times. I'm sure things was much
better whea there was no talk Of spirit at all.
It's spirit as told Nuts last night, as Is Lead
| ing US all 10 ruin.
Nuts. The spirit Of the times, Mr.. SlOwgoe,
doesn't make peoples chins n bit the shorter,
does III Why, then, drop to half pricet
Sl0pxos You're liberal man, Mr.. Nuts,
and it's only fit you should suffer for IL. II
you will have the Jews In Parliament, why you
must shave all the closer. Don't you see when
\ half Of US give up being Christians, as we shall
be Obliged 10 do when all the Minories 10 In the
House Of Commons, the Jews will show the
cloven foot and come out with their boards
again. They'll make a law against shaving,
and, for what kaow, hang every barber at his
own pole.
Mra Nuts There, Nuts And then who
do You think will take care Of me and your chill
dren People with liberal opinions, as you call
| 'em, ought never to have wives and babies.
Peabody. l see, Mr.. Sslomons 10 sworn in as
Alderman; that's step in the right way. The
court all in full trim; all wearing violet gowns
and
Mrs. Nuts. Violet gowns / only hope, we
shan't have scarlet gowns here, Mr.. Peabody,
scholar as You are. Scarlet gowns from Rome.
| only hope Lord Aminta-fOr hear he's there,
won't bring a few Of EN- to London in his
carpet bag. The Pope of Rome don't deceive
me, for all his lily looks and fresh-butter words.
My 'pinion is that all popes are like children;
doing the most mischief when they're the most
quiet. And as for the Jews, I'd trundle every
one Of them out Of the country; kept, perhaps,
two or three TO sell an old coat TO, and buy o
cheap lemon OF.
Peabody. dare say, without knowing it,
Mrs. Nuts, you're Of the opinion OF Martin Luz
| ther-
Mrs.. Nuts. Never heard of the man.
| Peabody. Who says, somewhere in his IabLs
Tslk, "the Jews sit as on wheelbarrow"-
Mrs. Nuts. Quite good enough for 'em.
Peabody. "Withouta country, people, or gov
eminent"
Mrs. Nuts. Serve 'em right; why did they
come away from Baoylonl And as for the
wheeloarrow Mr.. Luther talks about, 'twould be
good thing if twas true; 80 that ell Christians
might wheel 'em away from every ceuntry-pass
'em along, Is / say-until they was wheeled TO
the very edge Of the world.
Peabody. And what would yol do with 'em
| then7
SiOrgoe. For my part, I'm not Il cruel man,
but then I'D turn the barrow over.
Mandrake. That would be something like a
settlement Of what's called Jewish Abilities
II, now we'd only Sir Robert Inglis for Prime
Minister, wouldn't he clap his hand to such a
/ barrow. But see what II is TO have an old Whig
on the head Of Government. Sir Robert would
be what | call bullwork to the State. But
Lord John---fXed rs he calls himself in his prin-
ciples, what is he--why, he's no bit better than
a turnstie; though he never slirs an inch him
self, round and round he goes, and lets by Jews,
Turks, Chinese, and Inhdels.
| Mrs. Nuts. For my part, In this matter Of
Jews, the judgment should like 70 see upon all
Members of Parliament would be this-that them
who did nothing but turn their coats, should be
made old clothesmen, and be Obliged to live up
on 'em.
Nuts Ny dear, you're very right; and. you
can't better show your dislike to the Jews than
by stuf6ng that leg Of pork to-day with Particu-
lar attention. It's a sweet thing when you can
enjoy prejudice and cook a dinner at the same
time.
