water, and a sponge, and perhaps Our
governors viii let Madame Rachel out
Of gaol, to enamel your eyes, II they
get a little bIackened. I've just
thought of a capital idea, and that is,
II YOU will both drop q line to the
keepers Of the Agricultural Hall,
where they have those Cumberland
wrestling matches, they would let
you have the place for a day, and give
half the takings, and H1l be bound
there would be q crowd and no mis-
take. So you see you could get glory
and money too, and nobody would be
killed. 1 like this idea, for then l
can get out Of my first offer, and can
wash my hands of you, and l can
truly say the less / see of two such
K licking horses the better l shall be
pleased. My good old grandfather set
ME against the BOnypart5 when l was
q boy, but / did think that you,
Lewis, were a quieter sort than your

as the old cock crows the young cock

Germans, want to go into the butch

at the bottom of this, it shows that
YOU are a very bad-dispOsed man, or

How would you like to get a mar
into your palace garden, and run
carving-knife into his bowels, Or Gu
his throat? If you did that you would
d deserve to be hanged; but il would
not be half so bad as killing tens o
thousands, and you know very vel
that is Just what you are going to do
Do YOU fancy that your drums AMI
