      ^ ITTOEKING TAILORS' ASSOCIATION Y T 34 , Castle-Stbeet , East , Oxfokd-Stbeet . ' Walter Coopee , Manager . As working-men organized for the management and execution of our own business , we appeal with great confidence to our fellow working-men for their hearty support . We ask that sup . port in the plain words of plain men , without the usual shopkeeping tricks and falsehoods . We do so because we know that we offer an opportunity for the exercise of a sound economy , but we make our appeal more particularly because we believe that every honest artisan in supporting us will feel that he is performing a duty to the men of his class , which to overlook or neglect , would ' be a treason and a disgrace . We ask for the support of working-men in full assurance that no better value can be given for money than that which we offer > —and we desire success through that support , not solely that we may rescue ourselves from the wretchedness and slavery of the slop-system , —but more particularly that our fellowworkers of all trades , encouraged by our example , may , through the profitable results of self-management , place themselves and their children beyond the reach of poverty or crime . Belying on the good faith of the people , we await patiently the result of this appeal . The annexed List of Prices will show tnat in seeking the welfare of the Associates they make no monopoly profits . Notice . —All work done on the premises . No Sunday labour is allowed . The books of account are open to every customer . Customers are invited to inspect the healthy and commodious workshops any week-day between the hours of Ten and Four . XIST OF PBICES FOB CASH O !

      The Eteknal " PARCiE . "—Men have all sorts of motives which carry them onwards in life , and are driven into acts of desperation , or it may be of distinction , from a hundred different causes . There was one comrade of Esmond ' s ; an honest little Irish lieutenant of Handyside ' s , who owed so much money to a camp suttler , that he began to make love to the man's daughter , intending to pay his debt that way ; and at the battle of Malplaquet , flying away from the debt and lady too , he rushed so desperately on the French lines , that he got his company ; and came a captain out of the action , and had to marry the suttler ' s

      daughter after all , who brought him his cancelled debt to her father as poor Rogers ' s fortune . To run out of the reach of bill and marriage , he ran on the enemy ' s pikes ; and as these did not kill him , he was thrown back upon t ' other horn of his dilemma . Our great Duke at the same battle was fighting , not the French , but the Tories in England : and risking his life and the army ' s , not for bis country , hut for his pay and places ; and for fear of his wife at home , that only being in life whom he dreaded . I have asked about men in my own company ( new drafts of poor country boys were perpetually coming over to us during the wars , and brought from the plough-share to the sword ) , and found

      that a half of them under the flags were driven thither on account of a woman : one fellow was jilted by his mistress , and took the shilling in despair ; another jilted the girl , and fled from her and the parish to the tents , where" the law could not disturb him . Why go on particularizing ? What can the sons of Adam and Eve expect , but to continue in that course of love and trouble their father and mother set out on ? O my grandson ! T am drawing nigh to the end of that period of my history , when I was acquainted with the great world of England and Europe , my years are past the Hebrew poet ' s limit , and I say unto thee , all my troubles and joys too , for that matter , have come from

      a woman ; as thine will when thy destined course begins . 'Twas a woman that made a soldier of me , that set me intriguing afterwards : I believe I would have spun smocks for her had she so bidden me ; what strength I had in my head I would have given hez- ; hath not every niim in his degree had his Omphiile mid Dalilab ? Mine befooled niu on the banks of the Thames , and in dear old England ; thou mayest find thine own by Riipnuhaimoc . —Thackkuav ' h Ksmond .

      TVnokls unawares . —Her habit was thus to watch , unobservedly , those to whom duty or afl ' eetion bound her , and to prevent their designs , or to fulfil them , when she had the power . It was this lady's disposition to think kindnesses , and devise silent bounties , and to Hcbcmc benevolence for those about her . We take such goodness , for the most part , us if it was our due ; the Marys who bring ointment for our feet get but little thunks . Some of us never feel this devotion at all , or

      are moved by it to gratitude or acknowledgment ; others only reeal it years after , when the days are past in which those kwcci , kindnesses were spent on us , and we oiler buck our return for the debt by a poor tardy payment of tears . Then forgotten tones of love recur to us , and kind glances shine out of the past—() so bright and dear ! -- <) ho longed after ! because they lire out of reach ; its holiday nuisick from withinside a prison wall-- or Hunsbine seen through the bars ; more prized because unattainable— more bright because of the contrast of present darkness and solitude , whence there is no escaixi . —TitAOiv kimy ' H Esmond .

      TWO BUSTS OF THE DUKE . Eacji of these works has a merit so distinctive , that we do not hesitate to place the two side by side . Some weeks ago . we saw the bust by Koble , and the fact that most struck us as unmistakably set forth in that work , was precisely the fact which meets one at every point of the life now closed . In the printsellers' windows you may sometimes see an engraving ( and a most excellent one it is ) which is instructive of what we are now referring to . This engraving is a triple portrait of Wellington , inscribed " India—Belgium—the House of Lords . " While looking at it , you see how the stuff of the man , so obdurate to hostile forces , was , rocklike , shaped by the congenial air in which it grew . Look still at the picture : you will see that there is sequence , but that each point is in relief . It is a chain composed of links . The three ages stand out like three peaks in a granite range .

      We do not wonder to find two artists who have chosen the same pealtaking each his different point of view . Of Mr . Noble ' s we should sav * that it was farthest afield , without impugning the truthfulness of his ¦ work in the slightest degree . Your eye rests long on the outline before it is attracted to details . " We will take an example from the accessorie s Mr . Noble has draped his bust in a manner to produce a series of free and simple folds , but you may trace the uniform of Warden of the Cinque Ports , with the military stock , riband , and medal . The second bust which is by Mr ! Weigall , is a close and perfect model of the life , exact in details as in size , not failing aesthetically , but more' remarkable for its closeness of portraiture . We should say that the artist had made the greatest possible account of an opportunity which he was so fortunate as to obtain , and that the organization of the skull is here accurately carved If so , the study is a curious one for the phrenologically speculative obi server . Not in these two busts only , but in all the good likenesses of the Duke , there is a more than common retention of the living look . Napoleon ' s face was " like a mask . " How like all the masks of Wellington are to faces ! Q .
