DIARY OF A DRUNKEN COBBLER.
A week in London, June, 1845.
1. Dry as a bone. Pulling out to finish Mr.
Scrogg's shoes by to-morrow, Saturday. . Sent
across to the Boar's Head for a pint on tick;
landlady as sour as a threepenny; knocked
the jug from the boy's hands, and ordered him
out. Not a copper to be got at.
2. Finished Scrogg's shoes, took them homet
and touched 10s. 6d. Glorious take ! Turned
in at the Boar's Head, to show off, and "crab"
the landlady, who made a full apology as soon
as she heard the cash "clink." 'Twas all a
mistake?thought 'twas Muggin's boy, the
opposition cobbler. Quite satisfied with apol
ogy, and got drunk. Prime beer?quite drunk
in forty minutes, and ready to fight any body,
particularly Muggins. No row, however?too
far gone; fell asleep on the table.
3. (Sunday.) 'Woke at four A. M.; found
myself in the cow-house, back of Boar's Head.
Throat parch'd?nobody up but the cock, whose
"cock-a-doodle-do" cut through my poor head.
Pump locked; pull'd plug out of the rain-bar
rel, and got a drink, but more wet outside than
in. Three shillings and sixpence in pocket?
counted it twenty times and could make no
more of it. Where the rest went ask the
landlady. Eight A. M., Boar's Head opens,
and in I walked; knocked down a quart of
fourpenny, and felt a little better. Bought a
red herring at Betty Mundy's, which the land
lady allowed me to toast at her fire?accom
modated me, too, with a slice of bread, which
with a pint of the old sort made out a break
fast. Nine A. M., Muggins walks in and I
walks out. Not up for a row just yet. Eleven
A. M., returned to Boar's Head, front door
shut, got in back way, and found Muggins in
the tap. He began to throw off?so I ordered
a pot to be up with him. High words: "Talk
to yer fellows," sis I. " A perty fellow you
is," says he. " Better nor sich as you any day
of the wick," says I. " Try it," says he. So
we had a set to, and slam'd through the door
to the street. People were comingfrom Church,
but we hit on, 'till we saw the Peelers coming,
when we tried to run into Boar's Head?door
barred?we were " nabb'd."
4. Cold, hungry, thirsty?in the watch
house. Bread and water for breakfast. No
go. Wanted a pot of fourpenny. Not allow
ed?no " brass " if 'twere. Muggins in next
cell swearing like a trooper. Hoped I might
get off, and he on the treadmill. Taken afore
the Beaks. Spoke my apology: Sis I?" Me
Lords and Gen'lemen of the Jury, Not Guilty;
I was a having as quiet a refresh as your honors
might have been, at the Boar's Head, when
this here infernal hannimal, Muggins, insult!)
me by saying I was no man. Put it to your
selves, Me Lords and Gen'lemen, who could
stan' that?" That speech had admirable effect.
Muggins held down his head, and looked a
criminal, so he got fined 5s., and I was only
put in the stocks two hours.
5. Underwent sentence in stocks. Rather
inconvenient?and confoundedly dry. Muggins
comes down to look on, and when the consta
ble turn'd round, he (Muggins) put his thumb
to his nose, and stretched out his both hands
in insulting mockery. How I longed to have
at him; but I thought it best to look away,
though I could see by half an eye, and the
laughter of the boys told me what was going on.
6. Went home, and found my tools and all
my furniture, (one chair, a table, a teapot, and
a gridiron,) seized for rent. Elevenpence a
week, had been running up for ten weeks?
and the landlord was as stout a one as ever let
a cellar. What a happy thing I've no family
to suffer from the affliction. I had a wife but
she died from a visitation of poverty, two
months ago, and my children are all away,
(my boy Tom, and my girls Polly and 'Liza,)
no doubt doing well, as they all took after their
father's genius.
7. Slept under a hedge last night?and no
home to go to this morning, though with a
true English appetite for a beef-steak. Called
at the Boar's Head?but some mistake again?
no tick. Every thing lost but an empty stomach,
so I am resolved to get into the Union for a
week or two, till a better prospect opens. Go
with a faint heart, no 'bacco, nor forpenny be
ing allowed?and not a chance of serving Mug
gins out.
Strength of the Turtle.?A party went
on shore one night for the purpose of catching
turtle, a description of which may not be un
interesting. We left the ship at sunset, and
reached the shore about dark, then hauled the
boat from the beach. Having reached the
place where we thought it likely the turtle
would land, we lay down, keeping a sharp
look out, and making as little noise as possible.
The moon had risen some time, and was shed
ding its silvery rays on those desolate regions;
the opposite coast in the distance, which is
very mountainous, and the ship riding at an
chor, had together a beautiful effect; the sea
was perfectly calm, and every thing appeared
to be sleeping in the stillness of the night, and
not a whisper being heard among the party,
the serf dashing against the rocks alone break
ing the silence of the scene. We were thus
all in expectation of the appearance of a tur
tle, and six bells had just gone on board?that
is, it was eleven o'clock P. M.?when we saw
the first, to our great delight, coming on shore
just opposite us. It looked like ? black rock,
moving slowly and steadily out of the water.
We did not interrupt its progress until it
had got some distance from the beech, when
a rush was made toward it, and it was imme
diately turned over on its back, without giving
it tune either U) defend itself, ot Wind its as
sailants, by throwing sand with its tiippef* or
fins, which they do with such force that it is
almost dangerous to come near them. It too
six men thus to turn the largest that was
caught; and the following incident will further
show the immense strength of these animals:
One of our men, the gunner, wandered awav
bv himself to the further end of the beach,
where he thought to have all the sport to him
self, not doubting for a moment that he would
be able to turn any turtle which he tound; but
on the contrary, to his surprise, not being ab
sent long, before espying a large one making
towards the beach, he allowed it to come up
some way, and then ran over to it and attempt
ed to turn it. All his endeavors were, how
ever, fruitless; and by some means he got his |
hand between the shell and the neck, which
the animal, by drawing in his head, jammed
and held there so tight that he could not with
draw it.
The turtle then began to crawl towards the
sea, dragging the man with it; and he was in
imminent danger of heing carried off, when he
began to call for assistance. Our party was
somewhat alarmed at the cries, thinking that
some serious accident had happened, and im
mediately ran towards the place from which
the noise proceeded, where we arrived just in
time to save the poor lellow from a watery
grave. The turtle was close to the edge oi l
the sea, and was carrying him off as if he were
nothing; nor was it without some difficulty
that we released him from his perilous situa
tion, dragging the turtle above high water
mark, and turning it over. The man got off |
with only a few bruises, but was much fright
ened ; and we all had a good laugh at him
for his adventure.?Kemptoris Memoirs on the
Eastern Shores of the Persian Gulf.
THE WORLD.
4 Sir, bring me a good, plain dinner,' said a
melancholy looking individual to a waiter at
one of our principal hotels.
The dinner was brought and devoured, and
the eater called the landlord aside, and thus
addressed him?
? You are a landlord?'
?Yes.'
4 You do a good business here?'
4 Yes,' (in astonishment.)
4 You make?probably ten dollars a day,
clear?'
4 Yes.'
4 Then I am safe. I cannot pay for what
I have consumed; I have been out of em
ployment seven months; but have engaged to
go to work to-morrow. I had been without
food four-and-twenty hours when I entered
your place. I will pay you in a week.
41 cannot pay my bills with such promises,
blushed the landlord, 4 and I do not keep a
poor-house. You should address the proper
authorities; leave me something for security.'
41 have nothing.'
? I will take your coat.'
4 If I go into the streets without that I will
get my death, such weather as it is.
4 You should have thought of that before
you came here.'
4 You are serious? Well I solemnly aver,
that one week from now I will pay you.'
?I will take the coat.'
The coat was left, and a week afterwards
redeemed.
Seven years after that a wealthy man en
tered the'political arena, and was presented
at caucus as an applicant for a congressional
nomination. The principal of the caucus held
his peace?he heard the name and history of
the applicant, who was a member of a church,
and one ot the most respectable citizens. JHe
was chairman. The vote was a tie, and he
cist a negative?thereby defeating the weal
thy applicant, whom he met an hour after
wards, and to whom he said?
' You don't remember me?'
4 No.'
'I once ate a dinner at your hotel, and al
though I told you I was famishing, and pledged
my word and honor to pay you in a week, you
took my coat, and saw me go into the inclem
ent air, at the risk of my life, without it.'
4 Well, sir, what then?'
4 Not much; you called yourself a christian.
To-night you were a candidate for nomination,
and but for me you would have been elected
to Congress.'
Three years after the christian hotel keeper
became a bankrupt, and sought a home at
Bellevieu. The poor dinnerless wretch that
was, is now a high functionary at Albany.
We know him well. The ways of Providence
are indeed wonderful, and the world's muta
tions almost beyond conception or belief.?Ex. I
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE?
That a person who sigus the teetotal pledge,
and keeps it, does well, but by afterwards
working in the cause, does far better;
That a man who " talks in meeting" against
patronizing intoxicating drink-selling establish
ments, and then buys fruit at the porch of a
beer shop, is apt to be looked at;
That the greatest obstacle to the more rapid
advancement of the temperance cause, is the
practical inconsistency of its professing friends;
That a man who erects a building, and rents
it for a drunkery, is more deserving of the con
demnation of the community, than the deluded,
and perhaps indigent, tenant, who manfully
deals out the liquid poison;
That the capitalist, who, for the sake of a
little higher rent, suffers his buildings to be
polluted with an alcoholic traffic, is no better,
cither in motive, or in action, than the low,
sordid rumseller himself;
That the owners of real estate have the
power to banish the t>alc uf " liquid death"
from their premises, and would do it if they
could make as much, or more money by the
operation;
That the bosoms, as well as the papers of
some of our exclusively moral suasonists, seem
to be as lull of love and compassion for the
rumseller, as they are of hate and denuncia
tion for those who go for " moral and legal
suasion combined;"
That the person who builds?the person
who keeps?and the paper that advertises a
drunkery, are all, to the extent of their res
pective influences, sacrificing both public and
private welfare, (and in some cases teetotal
consistency,) for money;
That, by the term "drunkery," we mean
any place where intoxicating drinks are sold,
| like the Astor House in New York, or a vile
two cent doggery, like some of the rum and
beer holes in Worcester.?Mass. Cataract.
RUM AND MURDER.
A fellow in Philadelphia, by the name of
Preal, after having sold his furniture, and spent
the money in rum, left his wife in the empty
house, which she locked up, and went to a
relation's to stay, resolving to live with him
no more. He called to ask the key of the
house from her, and persuaded her to have
some conversation with him. They then went
up together into a room where some children
were asleep; he sat down upou a shoemaker's
bench, and she seated herself on a bed. After
talking a considerable time, she saw he had a
knife in his breast, and immediately asked him
what it was for. He made no reply, but grasp
ing it made towards her. They both rose at
the same time, and a struggle ensued, during
which the wound was inflicted, and she fell
to the floor. He then made an attempt to cut
his own throat with the same weapon, but
perceiving his design she rose from the floor,
and, prompted by the love she bore him, which
a long series of ill-treatment, and even the
bleeding wound just inflicted had not been
sufficient to extinguish, she grasped his arms*
with all her remaining strength, in order to
prevent him accomplishing his design upon
his own life. Her cries in the meantime had
alarmed the neighbors, and several persons
coming to her assistance, he was disarmed and
carried before Alderman McKinley, who com
mitted him to prison to await the result of his
brutal attempt. The wounded woman had
every assistance afforded her which her situ
ation demanded, and she was removed to the
residence of her sister in Reckless street. The
wound was inflicted with a shoemaker's knife,
and is of a serious nature, but no apprehension
of a fatal result exists at present; if inflamma
tion should ensue, her life will be endanger
ed.?Exchange.
Religious effects of Temperance.?Mr. Gil
more, writing from the Oregon Territory, says:
" The missionaries have done more towards
Christianizing the Indian, in five years, than
has been done in the States in twenty years.
Numbers of them, who cannot speak one word
of English, hold regular family worship. They
are members of the Methodist Episcopal
church. I am convinced it is in consequence
of not being able to get liquor. The Hudson
Bay Company, and missionaries, and settlers,
have taken a bold stand against the introduc
tion of ardent spirits into this country ; and 1
am convinced, while they continue this praise
worthy course, we all will see more satisfac
tion and pleasure, and our little company will
profit thereby.
MECHANICAL TASTE.
We are often surprised that mechanics do
not pay more attention to the art of design?
indeed, knowledge of every kind is valuable to
them. Sir Richard Arkwright was, we be
lieve, a barber, but having turned his attention
to machinery, and getting hold of a hint, in
vented the spinning jenny and amassed a for
tune. Wedgewood's pottery catne first into
notice in consequence of the elegant shapes
and designs of his vases, cups, &c. A poor
German mechanic rose to wealth in N. York
city, by being the first to introduce iron rail
ings of beautiful patterns, in place of the plain,
old-fashioned straight rail pointed at the top.
There is a Yankee now making his fortune by
a chcap process of map coloring, which a little
chemical knowledge suggested to him. We
know a man who has improved the ordinary
machine for plaiting whip-lashes, and applied
it to the making of stay laccs, so that he can
manufacture these articles for a price indefi
nitely below any rival. So, too, in common
house building, the carpenter, in a newly set
tled district, who understands how to erect a
graceful dwelling, will soon carry off the bu
siness of those who are contented with the old
clumsy style. Who would not prefer a win
dow screen prettily painted, to an old-fash
ioned Chinese blind? Yet the one is not dearer
than the other. In a word, taste and know
ledge, when brought to bear on the mechanic
arts, will always carry off the palm from stu
pidity and ignorance. Think of this, young
mechanics!?Neal's Saturday iiax.
The Lancaster Union gives the following
advice to the Girls:
"Beware of transient young men. Never
suffer the addresses of a stranger. Recollect
that one good farmer's boy, or industrous me
chanic, is worth more than all the floating
trash in the world. The allurements of a
dandy Jack, with a gold chain about his neck,
a walking-stick in his paw, a two-penny cigar
in his mouth, some honest tailor's coat on his
hack, and a brainless though fancy skull, never
| can make up the loss of a good father's home."
RUM RATIONS.
Ii is a well established fact, that most of
the scenes of crime, insubordination, and mis
fortune that occur in our navy, arise from the
barbarous and disgraceful practice of distribu
ting the burning poison that destroys, along
with the wholesome bread that sustains the
gallant sailor. Inebriety has long prevailed,
to an alarming extent, in our national and
merchant ships.?Exchange.
On this subject, the Philadelphia Saturday
American remarks: "How often this vico of
intoxication among officers, leads them on .c
the perpetration of other crimes, for which
they are tried, broken, and disgraced, we have
not at present considered. That belongs more (
properly to a subject which we reserve for fu
ture discussion; yet we cannot avoid the re-1
mark in this place, that we know of cases in
which officers have been guilty ol purloining j
spirits to make them intoxicated, and then, j
while under the influence of the mad potation,
purloining the money of their comrades, or
fellow middies?and when these latter crimes
have been committed, the code of honor not
applying to them, they have been brought up
under a court martial, tried, convicted, and
dismissed, in disgrace from the service. Yet
these crimes would not have been committed,
but for that parent of most crimes, drunken
ness.'"
