      The House Of Commons Boasts Two Droles, ...

      \ Still , because Convents are in the hands of Roman Catholics \ every shallow bigot thinks it his duty to carp at them and snarl ! Mr . Newdegate has been the leader of the shallow-pated fools the consent , who have of Parliament by some overs to hold ight a or committee misconception . No , longer obtained is the Englishman ' s house to be his castle , no longer his home to be Convents sacred from garri pry soned ing eyes by women and lewd these tongues daring . Because warriors are to take the cloisters by storm ! Because the women they I attack are ladies by birth and position , these despicable demoi crats are to rave and to sting ! The age of chivalry will be ! passed indeed if those ladies' fathers and mothers do not hurl ! scorn and contempt upon the lying churls and do not sweep i them like paltry vermin from the walls they would strive to ! detilc by their loathsome presence and still more loathsome j slanders ! ! " Tall talk" apart , has it ever occurred to Mr . Newdegate and : those who wallow with him in his favourite mire , that the I '" nuns" ( the victims of his shameful imputations ) may be ladies like those pictured by poor J ohn Leech—are in fact the relatives of his clearest friends ? Has it ever occurred to him that he ; has by his thoughtless words , cast a slur upon his intimate i Lord ' s daughter , upon the sister of his acquaintance , the j j he Bishop is talking of of ? Eng He lish forgets ladies ( let us not hope of forei that gners he . forgets "We ) know that I that he would not dare , as a gentleman , to utter a syllable of his j slanders in the presence of those ladies whom he so soundly abuses . We know too , that he would be the first to oppose a prying inquiry into the management of his favourite club , and yet because the females are called " nuns , " and not ladies , and the private establishments are called " Convents , " and not clubs , he should urges be that disregarded all the sacredness , and of English a Briton ' ladies home —his and friends hearth 7 daughters and sister—should be treated with aslittle consideration as the police treat the poor creatures of paint and tawdry finery , who prowl about the Boulevards of Paris after nightfall to pick up a precarious livelihood ! Shame upon you Mr . Newdegate ! We have called you the " political Paul Pry , " but reflect a little , and your own conscience will suggest a far harsher title ! Be quick and amend , or we shall have to write upon your tombstone— Persecutor of the Just , Insulter of the Weak , Defamer of Women !
