FOR THE ROYAL VIC.

(_A Domestic Sketch._)

Take a young woman--give her six pounds a year--work up her father and

mother into a viscous paste--bind all with an abandoned poacher--throw in a

"dust of virtue," and a "handful of vice." When the poacher is about to

boil over, put him into another saucepan, let him simmer for some time, and

then he will turn out "lord of the manor," and marry the young woman. Serve

up with bludgeons, handcuffs, a sentimental gaoler, and a large tureen of

innocence preserved.
