ity's porch, where monarchs proud are told that they must wait:
To make more space for dingy dray, for omnibus and car,
The revolutionary cry is "Down with Temple Bar!"

Utilitarians, stern and cold, who argue, like the goose,
That ev'ry thing is useless which is not of any use,
Bethink you what our plight will be in times of civil jar:--
Where shall we stick our rebels' heads if we've no Temple Bar?

And if our relics, one by one, are thus to disappear,
What shall we have but narrow lanes to tempt a visit here?
How blank and pale will be their cheek, when pilgrims from afar
Shall pace Fleet Street, with pious feet, and see no Temple Bar!

The doom of Smithfield market's sealed;--gone is its ancient fair;
And soon the pomp of LORD MAYOR's show may vanish into air;
Blackfriar's Bridge, pure Puddle Dock, the Monument, and, ah!
Ev'n GOG and MAGOG are not safe--then save poor Temple Bar.

A PEACEFUL SOLICITOR.

A Guildford and guileless solicitor "and a Member of the Peace Society,"
denounces all war as un-Christian. War at _no_ price! He says, the
soldier disobeys the law of Christianity by killing a man. How about the
attorney? Does he obey the Christian law by helping to lock a man up? As
Christians, should we not be of charity and forgiveness all compact?
Does the solicitor make out his bill of costs according to the behest of
the Prince of Peace? Would our solicitor act in a cause of action for
unprovoked and brutal assault? Hardly, if he denounces "the soldier's
bloody calling" on every occasion. What is war but an action?--NICHOLAS
_v._ ABDUL-MEDJID. The Cossack attacks the Turk, and the Turk, whipping
out his scimetar, shaves off the Cossack's head. What is this but an
action--the Cossack, for the first assault, paying righteous costs?

Now, if the enemy were to march to Guildford, would "A Solicitor and a
Member of the Peace Society" open his door to the intruders,
saying--"Enter ye, who are heavy laden with ball-cartridge?"

Does our Solicitor give advice gratis against going to law; even as
benevolent doctors give advice against disease?
