"'Be quiet, you fool!' said another. 'You're a pretty fellow to chaff the orator. He'll slang you up the chimney afore you can get your shoes on.'

"'Fine him a kivarten for quarrelling,' cried another; and the bully subsided into a minute's silence, after a sotto voce—'Blow temperance, and blow all Chartists, say I!' and then delivered himself of his feelings in a doggrel song:

Some folks leads coves a dance,

With their pledge of temperance,

And their plans for donkey sociation;

And their pocket-fulls they crams

By their patriotic flams,

And then swears 'tis for the good of the nation.

But I don't care two inions

For political opinions,
