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.
