MISCELLANEOUS. 



■ "Mockery of Hunf^ry Men — Our readers will re- 

 collect lliHl a few riioiitlis ago, rne of (he American 

 ships (if war, in a Mediterranean port, tlireiv a large 

 qnantity nf bread overboard, wliich, though still 

 pnluleiibic to hungry men, was removed to make 

 room for fresher, which would keep longer. The 

 officers of the vessel offered to give it to the poor 

 inhabitants of the place, if the authorities would 

 permit it to be landed. Tliis lliey refused, and the 

 poor wretches came off in boats and picked up the 

 b-alt-waler soaked food as it fell into the sea. 



Aniillicr case of mockery of human hunger has 

 just fallen under our eye. We copy from a Liver- 

 pool paper, wiihout comment ; the i)liraseology of 

 the paragraph being precisely 'hat of the Liverpool 



editor. Truly, John Cull is a patient animal ! 



Philail. S„l. Post. 



"Our attention has just been called to another 

 most gross imposition upon poor, patient, luntr. suf- 

 fering John Hull. Part of the cargo of the ship 

 P^urope, wliich arrived at this port, the other day, 

 from New York, consisted of butter — imported, 

 not for ihe i'<ie of man himself, hut for anv other 

 purpose to which he may put it, when spoiled. The 

 law passed by our landed legislator^, provides that 

 this butter shall be put carefully into bond, under 

 custom-house lock and key, and not removed thence 

 for use ill this country, until it is rendered utterly 

 unfit for human food. Of the butter in question, 

 ten ton.s were consigned to one house, and the rest 

 to diffeient firms. A specimen of it was brought 

 to us, the other day, which we found to be slightly 

 over-salted, but in other respects, equal to the 

 liome-made butter now selling in the Liverpool 

 markets at Is. per lb. The price of the American 

 article under notice, is 38s. per cwt., which would 

 be about 4 pence per pound ; but in order to pre. 

 vent the poor man from gelling any of this cheap 

 butter, it is mixed with tar before it is taken out 

 of bond ; and then our humane and benevolent 

 laws allow it to be used for the purpose of smear- 

 ing sheep's noses and greasing cart-wheels, or for 

 any other unconnected with the nourishment of 

 man or beast. 'J'he work of destruction was duly 

 performed yesterday on the Pierhead. Admirable 

 laws ! Miraculously patient John Bull I" 



(XT^The aristocratic gentry who mi's-govern the 

 people of Great Britain, think, perhaps, that luxu- 

 ries, snc\\&s g;ooil butter, if allowed the poorer 

 classes, might make them more clamorous in de- 

 manding their rights— as high living is apt to be- 

 get high spirit,— and to smother this turbulent 

 choler of " the canaille," the judicious rulers think 

 it best to keep ihern on low diet — such as luniips, 

 oaltntal, and potatoes— urnl also to make it hard for 

 them to get a snjicieiicy even of this sort of fodder ! 



Seriously — how much longer, in the name of 

 outraged humanity, will « patient John Bull" en- 

 dure this atrocious injustice from the hands of an 



oppressive and worse than useless aristocracy .' 



whose chief aim seems to bo to aggrandize them- 

 selves at the e.vpensc of "the toiling millions" 



vampires, who suck the very life-blood of the na- 

 tion, — who, in outrage of heaven-appointed justice, 

 reap where tliey have not sown, and riot upon the 

 extorted earnings of the poor man's toil, — g-oorf on- 

 ly in being good providtrs for themselves, and 



" Only great 

 In that strange spell — a name" — 



and whose highest aspiration and cliicfestaim, is to 



sustain and perpetuate a splendid government at the 

 expense of an impuverished people. 



England has much in her history of which she 

 may justly boast; but the brightest page of her 

 annals records no achievement of hers that can 

 atone for her unpardonable injustice to her neg- 

 lected poor — whose oft-ropeated and unheeded pe- 

 litions for redress of their Wrongs, constitute a 

 monument of her shame that will survive the mar- 

 ble memorials commemmorative of her glory. A 

 fearful day of reckoning awaits them xvho are re- 

 sponsible for her governmental policy, — who had 

 in their hands the means to " feed the hungry and 

 clothe the naked," in obedience to the expressed 

 will of the benevolent Saviour, but wiio used them 

 not, even when millions of their fellow-creatures — 

 ihe'iT equals, as children of the same common Fath- 

 er — were, in the midst of plenty, suffering from 

 the sternest need : — 



" Willing to toil, and yet deprived 

 Of common wood and store uf corn." 



But the poor man's wrongs, we are taught to be- 

 lieve, will one day be avenged — and before a tri- 

 bunal where neither rank nor wealth can influence 

 the verdict, — where kings will bo on a level with 

 the lowliest of their subjects — and where the de- 

 cision of the infallible Judge must be final and 

 just. Howard. 



Singular, if true. — An exchange says, that on 

 one of the principal thoroughfares across the Green 

 .Mountains in Vermont, in ascending you pass 

 three public houses, the first of which is kept by 

 Mr Cluisenm, the second by Mr Kdchum, and the 

 third liy Mr Killum. In descending on the other 

 side of the mountain, you pass three other taverns ; 

 one kept by Mr Lord, one by Mr Angell, and one 

 by Mr Devol. If there is any thing in names, we 

 doubt if the traveller would, like Paul, when he 

 came in sight of" the Three Taverns," thank God 

 and take courage. — Olive Branch. 



Spare your Children. — Woollen or silk frocks, or 

 aprons at least, should be put upon children who 

 are exposed to fire in grates or open fire-places. 

 As regularly as the season for fire in houses comes 

 round, %ve have to commence the record of such 

 accidents as the following, from the Charlestown, 

 Mass. Aurora : " Albert C. Fowler, aged six years, 

 residing with his parents at the corner of Austin 

 and Lawrence streets, in this town, was burnt to 

 death on Wednesday v/gek, his clothes taking fire." 

 —Philad. Sat. Post. 



Married— nl Fayette, Mo., Mr Wm. T. Hurd, of 

 St. Louis, to Miss El.za Boon. 



This is a case of peculiar gratulation, as Eliza 

 was Hurd when she wanted to be, and William "ot 

 the Boon he asked — Barnstable Pat. 



..Another. — An Ohio paper chronicles the mar- 

 riage of Mr Hiram Jl'yndup to Miss Amelia Gale. ■ 



An inauspicious union: "Look out," as the al- 

 manac says, '-for squalls." — Pr. Df.v. 



" I suppose," said a quack, while feeling the 

 pulse of a patient, "that you think me n fool." 

 " Sir," said the sick man, " I perceive you can dis- 

 cover a man's thoughts by feeling his pulse."
