On motion the xeveral documents werg ordered to be placed in the hands of the vari- ous committies to which they belong. Mr. Bickell, the persistent, unwearied, in- defatigable advocate of a County Poor Houge, found this a fitting opportunity to air his eloquence on the Poor House scheme. We can only attribute this continued trotting 'out, in season aud out of season, by Mr Bickell, of his now famous hobby to the nat- ural g and g ity of his nature ; he js aware that "the poor we shall always have with us," and doubtless passing along the streets of his own village he may see tho agedaod infirm po mot apparently iu as com- fortable circumstances as he would like to see them and he runs away with the idea that a poor house would be a penacea for all the suffer: and privations to which our poor are exposed and supposes that they fous be better incarcerated--thou:h not guilty--in a poor house, poor enough, dear | knows ! Mr. Bickell's anxiety for the suf- fering ones and his eagerness to find them a high dark as a total eclipse, and with a wor. ms] place wherein to rest appears to render him oblivions to all the mischicf that such an institution would work on the community, "the largely increased expense it would cause, | the great terror and annoyance it would be | to the poor and the continual trouble it would be to the county. Perhaps ninety-nine out of every hundred of those who receive public | charity would as soon be confined in any | other prison as a poor house, Here is a poor man who has lived long in a certain locality. in certain seasons of the year he cam, by per- forming light labor, maintain Himself, at other seasons if he cannot do all towards his | maintenance he can zo far towards it and a small sum from the municipality will enable him to get alopg. Here he is at liberty, passing round among friends enjoying - their countenance and friendship, Or here is a | woman left to struggle with three . or four ! children, the c! igren are not yet old enough | to be "put out." She can maintain herself | and take care of her children and a little help from the municipality will assist in maintaining her children and training them up to habits of industry and thrift. Bat let | the mother be sentenced to the Poor House and of course her charge must go - with her | and what is the resnlt--the poor woman i3 imprisoned though charged with no ether crime than poverty, if that be oue, and the unfortunate little ones receive a stamp which will never be defaced and the cost to the pubiie is ten times as much as it would have been had the mother and children not been} confined in the poor hquse (but al- lowed to struggle nobly in the race of life aided and supported by the countenance and assiztgnce of tl ose who wish them well, sympathize with their misfortunes and re. Ioice to mitigate their sufferings; but there is no good in multiplying instances, Mr Bick- ell's lgpdable anxiety for the comfort of 'the +u¥ering ones confines his mind in one groove on this subject,be can oly look (0 one side of the picture. He builds his castle (in the air) and collects the destitute ones and rubs his hand with very ccstasy at the idea of having placed them all within the pearly (perily) gates of his new Elysium. But he has péver pecped within nor seen the pect imprisoned ones pining for freedom, and home. He has never heard the everlasting cant of the fifth or sixth rate official as he orders aroand the trembling and subdued children of want ; neither has he got a glimpse of the strutting matron surrounded by her cloud of waiters, nor has he been permitted to gase on the apgust governor as he sits in state sending forth Bis mandidateg by the hards of his trusty but awe-stricken staff. And lastly, but not least, our friend Bickell has not yet sat in his place at the Coupgjl board and listened to the semi § amu. al message" 'of the Governor of the prison for the poor in which he promulgates and demands his supplies, ten or twelve thousand dollars--more or less, Mr Bickell, however, was not the only one who advocated this scheme, the Reeye. of Reach plunged right into themeaktirome and would, if he been allowed, have had ev~ ery man, woman and child who have the misfortune to require public iy So collared at once and dragged limbo, this prison for pnd poor ol
