CONDITION OF ENGLISH ARTISANS.
The ma Alt workmen I'm in a powerful
aristocracy, nor is il possible to conceive one
apparently more oppressive. Tlicy are ruthless
tyruuts; they habitually inflict upon their
subjects, punishments more g'icvous than
the slave popu'aliou of our colonies were
ever visited with; not content with beating
them with sticks, or flogging them with knotted
ropes, tlicy arc in the habit of felling
them with hammers, or cutting their heads
open with a file or lock. The most usual
punishment, however, or rather stimulus to
increase exertion, is 10 pun an apprentice s
cars uniil lliey run with blood. 'I'liese youths
too, are worked sixteen hours, and even
twenty hours a day. They are ollcn sold
by one master to another; they are fed on
carrion, and they sleep in lofts or cellars.
At every fourth or fifth house, alleys, seldom
above a yard wide, and streaming with
filth open out of the street. These were
crowded with dwellings of various sizes,
while, from the principal court often branched
out a number of smaller alleys, or rather
narrow passages, than which nothing can be
conceived more close and squalid and ob8
:ure. Here, during the days of business,
lli*. ? niiid ol the hammer and file never
ceased, amid gutters of abomination, and
piles til'foulness and stagnant pools of liltli;
reservoirs of leprosy and plague, whose exha'atious
woie suftieient to taint the atmosphere
of the whole ki gdotn, and till the
country with fever and pestilence.
A lank and haggard youth, nekelty and
smoke-dried, and b'ack with his craft, was
sitting on the threshold of a miserable hovel,
ami working at the lile. Behind hitn stood
a stunted and meagre girl, with a back like
u grasshopper; a deformity occasioned hy the
disp.uccuicut of the Made bone, and prevalent
among the girls of Woodnale, from the
cramped posture of their usual toil.
"Do you happen to know, frien i, a person
here or hereabouts, by name, Nation/"
'l)o you see this here?" said the youth
still grimiiiit!, and letting the file drop from
his distorted and knotty head, ho pointed to
a deep sear that crossed his forehead; "he
did thai."
"An accident/"
"Very tike. An aeeidont I lint often Imped.
I shotil I like to have a crown for every
time ho has cut my head open. No cut |
it open once witti a key and twice with a
I ?ck; lie knocked the comer of a lock into
my head twice, once with a bolt and once
with a shut; you know what tint is;, the
thing what runs into the staple. lie hit me
on the head with the hamtnc* o;icc. That
was a blow! 1 fell away that lime. When I
came to, master had stopped the blood with
some fur from his hat. 1 had to go to my
work immediately; master said I should do
my stint if I had to work till twelve o'clock
at night. Many's the ash stick he has bro
ken on my body; sometimes tlie weals remained
on me for a week; he cut my eyelid
open once with a nut stick; cut a regular
hole iit it, and it bled all over the files 1
was working at lie has pulled my cars
sometimes, that I thought they must some
limes come of]' in his hands. Hut all this
was nothing to this here cm; it was serious,
and if 1 had'nt got through that, they do say
there must have been a crow net's quest;
though 1 think that gammon, for old Tuglbrd
did fi?r one of his 'prentices, an.J the body
wa3 never found. And now you ask inc ii
I know Ilatton? Jjshould think I did!" And
the lank, haggard youth laughed merrily, as
if he had been recounting a series of the happiest
adventures.
"Hut is there no redress for such iniquitous
oppression?"
no," said the filer with an air of obvious
pride.
"Lord bless you, it's his way, that's all?

Give him a lor It to make arid you won't have
your box picked; he's wcrrv lib'ral too in
wittals. Never had horse flesh I he whole
time 1 was with him; they has nothing else
at TugfordV; never had no sick cow except
when meat was very'dear. lie always put
his fare a^iu still born calves; he used to say
lie liked his Imys to have meat what was
born alive and killed alive. iJv which token
there never was any sheep w hat had bust in
the head sold in our com I, And then some
times he would "ive us a treat of fish, when
it had been in town luiir or five days and
not sold. No, give the devil due, say I.?
There never was no want for anything at
meals with the Bishop, except time to ca.
I lit m in."
"And why do you call him the Bishop?"
' That's his name and auihoiity; for he's
the governor here over all of us. And it
lias always bcui so thai W oocl^atc has been
governed by a bishop; because as we have
no church, we will have as good. And by
this day sc'uniglil, the day my time was up,
he married me to this here vouii" ladv.?
Sue is of the Church school* religion, and
wanted us lo he tied by her clergyman, hut
but all the lads that served their lime with
me were married bv the Bishop, and many
a more, and I saw no call to do otherwise.'

"Ah uic!" thought Morley, "ant! could

"lint are the people so degraded?''
There is more serfdom in Kngland now
than al any lime since the Conquest. 1
speak of what passes under tnv eyes daily
when I say, that those who labor can as little
choose or change their masters now as
when they were born thralls. There are
?reat bodies of the working classes ol this
country nearer the condition ??l brutes than
they have been at-any time since the Conquest.
Indeed, I see nothing to distinguish
them from brutes,except that their morals
are interior. Incest and infanticide are as;
common as among the lower animals. The
domestic principle wanes weaker and weaker
every year in England, nor can we wonder
at it, where there is no comfort to cheer
and no sentiment to hallow the home."
We have more pestilence now in England
than we ever had, but it only reaches
the poor. Yrtu never hear of it. Why

A young lady of eccentric character hut

By marrying me your name will be handed

D. twisted his moustach with an air of an
exquisite, and said; "Angelic creature!?

When it came to E's. turn to speak there
was a pause. All eyes were turned towards
him. Poor fellow, he was dreadfully embarrassed.
"Well," said the beauty, " what sav vou,
Alf. E."
"Alas!" was the reply, "I yield to these
gentlemen. They have the advantage of
me in every respect." And look up his hat
to leave,
"Stop," said the lady, "make your statement,

"I am poor?"

At the end of the month the five suitors

THE WISE E.UDASSADUK,
We remember reading in an old French
magazine, accounts of an embassador from
I he court ol the emperor Charlemagne, to
that of an eastern monnreh. Dining one
day, in company with the barbarian king,
and the groat men of the court, and not
knowing the regulations and etiquette of the
cast, the embassador, without dreaming of
any harm, moved a dish which had been
placed near him on the table. Now, the j
jaws of the tyrant required that if any finest j
touched a dish that was brought (inward,'
before tlic king hiinsell was served, lie should
sillier she penalty of death. Consequently,
all eyes was turned upon the embassador of
Charlemagne, and there was an immediate
outcry against him; lor the courtiers of the
tvraul thought to gain his favor by upholdiiiii
him in his tyranny. The barbarian king
feared to displease so great an emperor as i
Charlemagne, but he feared to transgress.* I
his own laws more, and told the embassador
that he must seller death for what he !
had done.
"(Ireal king, 'said the Frank, "I submit u?
my fate. The laws of so powerful a iiioii- !
arch should not be broken with impunity. !
i die without a murmur, but in the name
of liic great emperor, whose humble servant
I am, 1 beg of your majesty one fovor before
I die.*'
"Thou spcakest well," replied the barbarian
king." "It is not my will that thou
shouldsl suffer death, but since law requires
it, I give thee the promise of a king, whose
word is fate, that whatever thou askest shall
be granted. 1 have spoken."
"Then I am satisfied!" replied the embassador
proudly; and he glanced contemptuously
at the obsequious courtiers. All I
a>k is this. Give me the eyes of every man
who saw me commit the crime against your
majesty."
The tyrant seemed eonfuiinilfd nrwl his
flatterers turned pale. Fur his word had
gone forth. The Frank's request must be
granted.
"It is well!" said the king, "Their eyes
shall be plucked out for thee.''
But, when it was asked who had seen lh<?
embassador move the dish, each courtier
was eager to deny that he had seen the act.
The setvants also exclaimed that they had
not witnessed it, and the king declared that
lie had not.
"Whw then, should t die?" said the Frank.
"The deed cannot even be proved asainst
me!"
The kin was pleased, and not only pardoned
hiin, but acknowledging and praising
his wisdom, sent him home to his master,
luaded with presents.? Yankee Blade.
A TOET W1101S TO LIVE.
BY DR. CIIANNI.NC.
The great poet of our times, Wordsworth,"
one of a lew who are to live, has gone to
common hh\ lo the lochias of our universal
nature, lo the obscure and neglected portion
of society, for beautiful touching themes.?
Nor ought it to be said, that he has shed
over these the charms of his genius ; as if in
themselves they had nothing grain! or lovely.
Genius is not a creator, in the sense of
fancying or feigning what does not exist.?
Its distinction is. to discern more of truth
than common minds. It sees, under diguises
and humble forms, everlasting beauty.
This it is the prerogative of Wordsworth to
discern and reveal in the'ordinary walks of
i.n. ?i._ . l i " it. i'
me, in uiu common numan nc:<ru xic nas
revealed the loveliness of die primitive feelings,
of the universal affections ol the human
soul. The grand truth which pervades Ins
poetry is, thai the beautiful is.not confined to
the rare, the new, the distant, to scenery and
modes ol life open only to the few ; but that
it is poured forth profusely on the common
eat th and sky. that it gleams from the loneliest
flower, that it lights u:> the humblest
sphere, that the sweetest affections lodge in
lowly hearts, that there is a sacrcdness, dignity
and loveliness in lives which few eyes
rest upon, that even in the absence of all
intellectual culture, the domestic relations
can quietly nourish that disinterestedness,
which is Hie element of all greatness, and
without which intellectual power is a splendid
deformity. Wordsworth is the poet of
humanity; teaches reverence for our uni
vcrsal nature ; he breaks down the factitious
barriers between human hearts.
The same is true in an inferior degree of
6'eott whose taste, however, were more
aristocratic. .Seolt had a childish love of
rank, titles, shows pageants, and in general
looked with keener eve on the outward life

heart and sympathised with his race With
few exceptions, lie was just to all his human
brethren. A reconciling spirit breaths
through his writing. He seizes on the interesting
and beautiful features of all conditions
of life; givcs# us bursts of tender and noble
feelings even from rude natures; and continually
knits some new tie between the reader
and the vast varieties of human nature
which start up under Ins teeming pen. lie
delighted indeed in highland chiefs, in border
thieves and murderers, in fierce inen and
fierce encounters. But lie had an eye lo
catch the stream of sweet ailoetibhs, us it
wound its way through human life. What
iight has Jeanie Deans shod on the path of
the obscure ! lie was loo wanting in the
religious sentiments, to comprehend the sol.
cum bearing the stern grandeur of the Puritans.
But we must not charge with narrowness
a writer, who embodies in the Jew;..i,

nobleness.'
Another wiilor, illustrating the liberalizing
all-harmonizing tendency of <iur times, is
Dickens, whose genius has sought and found
subjects of thrilling interest in the passion,
su lie rings, virtues, of the mass of the people,
lie shows, that life in its rudest forms may
wear a tragic grandeur; that amidst follies
and sensual excesses, provoking laughter and
si'ont the moral leehnos do not wliollv die:
ami that the haunts of t ic blackest crimes
arc sometimes lighted tip by 1 lie presence
and influence of the rn blest souls. lie has
indeed greatly erred, in turning so often
the degradation of humanity into matter of
sport; but the tendency of his dark pictures
is to awaken sympathy with our race, to
change the unfeeling indifference which has
prevailed towards the depressed multitude,
into sorrowful and indignant sensibility to
their wrongs ami woes.
