* — ‘ * I THE MUSEUM, From the .Vra Mvriilly Jllagacitie'. THE IIAX'NCII OF VENISON* At Number One dwelt captain Drew, Ocorge Henson dvilt at Number Two : (The street we’ll riot now mention) The latter aiunn’d the King’s Bench bar, The former being lamed in war, Sung small upon a pension. Tom Tllcwit knew them both—than lie None deeper in the mystery Os culinary knowledge; From Tuttle soup to Stilton cheese, Apt student taking bis degreese In Mrs ItundeU’s College. Benson to dine invited Tom: Frond of an invitation from A host w ho “ spread” so nicely, Toro answer’d ere the ink was dry, “ Extreme!) happy—“come on Fri* Day next, at six precisely.” Blcwit, with expectation fraught, Drove up at six. each savoury thought Ideal turbot rich in. But, ere hejreach’d post, lie saw a Haunch of Ten’son roast Down in the next-door kitchen. <• Hev! Zounds! vhat’a this ? a haunch at Drew’s ! 1 mlist drop in : I cant refuse: To pass were downright treason ; To cut Ned Benson’s not quite staunch; But the provocative —a lnunch ! Zounds 1 it’s the first this season ! * Ven’son, thou’rt mine! I’ll talk no more,” Then, rapping thrice on Henson’s door, “John, I’m in such a hurry ! Do tell your master that my aunt Is paralctic, quite aslant, I roust be off for Surry.* Now Tom at next door makes a din ‘ Is Captain Drew at home ?!— ‘ B alk in’— • Drew, how d’ye do ?*— ‘ What! Hie wit?’ ‘ Yes, I—you’ve ask’d me, many a day, To drop in, in a quiet way, So now I’in come to do it,’ l?m very glad you hare,* said Drew’, •I’ve nothing but an trish atew— ’ Quoth Tom (aside) ‘No matter; c’Twont do—my stomach’s up to that,— ’Twill lie by, till the lucid fat Conies quiv’ring on the platter.’ •You see your dinner, Tom,’ Drew cried, •No but I don’t though,’ Tom replied : •I smok’d below,’-’ What ?>_‘VenV,n- A haunch’—‘Oh! true, it is not mine; Mv neighbour has some friends to dine ’ ‘Your neighbour! who?’—‘George Benson. ‘His chimney smoaked; the scene to change, 1 let him have my kitchen range While his was newly polish’d; The Ven’son you observed below, Went home just half an hour ago: I guess it’s now demolish’d. Tom, why that look of doubtful dread ? Come help yourself to salt and bread, Don’t sit with hands nnd knees up; Hut dine, for once, off Irish stew, And read the ‘Dog and Shadow and rough. When licit you open jEsop.’ * -A The science of legislation is like that of medi- j cine, in one respect, that is, far more easy t point out u hat will do harm, than what will do good. “.Ve quid nimio,” therefore, is perhaps as quite as safe a maxim for a Solon, ns for ail Hip pocrates, because it unfortunately happens that a ] good law cannot operate so strongly for the amendment, as a had law for the depravation of j the people; for it is necessary, from the nature of f things, that laws should be prohibitory, rather , than “remunerative, and act upon our fears, rather | tl- .n upon our hopes. Pains and penalties’ are far more cheap and feasible modes of influenc ing the community, than rewards and encourage ments; therefore, if a law should strongly recom mend habits of justice, industry, and sobriety, such a law would be feebly obeyed, because it| lias little to offer, but very much to oppose; it has 1 to oppose all the vicious propensities of our na ture; blit if through oversight or indiscretion, a law should happen to connive at, or to tempt the subiect, to habits of fraud, idleness, or inebriety, such a law, inasmuch as it falls in with all the vi cious propensities of our nature, would meet with a practical attention, even beyond i ts own enact ments, and produce -work* of supererogation on ‘he side of delinquency; fertile road to virtue is j* rugged ascent, to vice a smooth declivity, ci'.is Jssccnsns nrcm.” To strengthen the above positions, all the bearings of the Poor Laws up on society night be fairly adduced; most of their enactments operate as a bounty upon idleness, a iff! as a drawback upon exertion; they take from independence its proper piide, from mendicity its-sahibly shame; they deprive foresight of its faii'jfewaro, and improvidence of its just respon sibiTuy. They act as r constant and indiscrituina tinir invitation to the marriage feast, crowding it with guests, without putting a single dish upon the table; we might affirm that these laws now in dicate a quite contrary tendency, and arc begin ning to remove the dishes, although they still con tinue to invite the guests: for there ar,- numerous instances where the paralyzing pressure of the poor rates has already begun to produce its own vereeswy and final consummation—Me non-culti vation of the soil.'* * Before a corrmbtee of the house of com mons. some fearful evidence was lately adduced, which went to prove the alarming fact that, in some cases, particularly in ‘he neighborhood of large manufacturing towns, estates had not been cui'ifatcd, as being utterly unequal to meet the rouble demand of rates, and of rent. Our late political ffgrcuits, Mr. Pitt felt the necessity, but shrunk, from die difficulty ts cleansing the Jhi !g<tan stable of the poor lows. The most effec tual mode of assisting the poor, must be the de vising of some source of employment, that shall enable them to assist themselves. But, it unfor tunately happens that unless this employment be profitable to those who find the capital, it will not long be serviceable to those who find the indus try; and how to devise adequate employment for the labourer, that shall at the same time repay the capitalist, is the grand arcanum we want to get hold of, “A c labor hoc opus est.” Our inex haustible treasures of coal, and of iron, have made the steam power so available, and so acces sible, that there seems to be no assignable limit to the improvement of our machinery. But to permit our own machinery to be exported, is a bont as wise as to hammer swords upon our cSWn anvils, to be employed against ourselves; •* in list trot fubriiata est machitia muros.” It is impossi ble to deprive Englishmen of their spirit of en terprise, and of invention, or of the power of their ingenuity, and their habits of industry; bXit our machinery is the embodied result of all these things put’ together, and, in this point, the expor tation of our machinery, is to deprive us of much of the benefit of those high qualifications stated above; thus it is that the powers of our own heads liijy ultimately p U'ilyze the luboars of our oiwi hands. The gigantic and formidable dilemma of the present day is this; three orders of men are vitally necessity to the existence of the state, for our national independence is triune, resting upon the welfare of the agriculturist, the manufactur er, and the merchant. But the misforlue is, that the agriculturist wants one state of things oppo site to, and destructive of the interest of the other two; for the agriculturalist must have high prices, or he can no longer meet the heavy demands upon land ; but the merchant and manufacturer are equally anxious for low prices at home, to enable them to compete with the foreigner abroad. Now, inasmuch as it is chief ly from our superiority in machinery, that we arc still able to command a preference of our ar ticles in foreign markets, notwithstanding the state of high prices at home, it follows that the means by which that superiority is preserved, should be most jealously guarded, and like a productive patent, kept, as far a* possible, ex clusively to ourselves. So unbounded is the power of machinery, that 1 have been informed that raw cotton is brought by a long and expen sive voyage to England, wrought into yarn, and carried out to India, to supply the poor Hindoo with the staple commodity for his muslins of the finest fabric : and this yarn, after having per- Ibrmcd two voyages, we can supply him with at a cheaper rate than the Hindoo himself can spin it, although he is contented with a diet of rice and water, and a remuneration of about one pen ny per day. And I have heard a lace manufac turer in the west of England affirm, that one pound of raw cotton has been spun by machine ry into yarn so fine, that it would reach from London to Edinburgh.— Lacon “Envy, if surrounded on all sides by the brightness of another's prosperity, like the scorpion, confined within a circle of fire, will sting itself to death.” “Vice stings U 9, even in our pleasures but virtue consols us, even in our pains.
