A LONDON Taylor, as 'tis said,
By buckram, canvas, tape and
thread,
Hair cloths, and wadding,filk and twist,
And all the long expensive lift,
With which their uncouth bills abound,
Tho' rarely in their garments found ;
With thele and other arts in trade,
He soon a handsome fortune made, .
And did what few had ever done,
Left thirty thousand to his ton !
The fon,a gay young fwagg'ring blade
Abhorr'd the very name of trade ;
And left refleaioris Should be thrown ]
On him, refolv'd to leave the town, >
And travel where he was not known. J;
With gilded coach, and liv'ries gay,
To Oxford firft he took his way ;
The bucks and beak his taste admire,
Hi{ equipage and rich atire.
But nothing was so much ador'd
As his fine silver hilted sword;
Tho' small and short 'twas vastly neat,
The fight was deem'd a perfect treat.
Beau Banterbegg'd to have a look,
But when the (word in hand he took,
He swore bv Gad it was an, odd thing,
And look'd just likea taylor's boakin.
Beau Shred was hurt by this, expreflion,
And tho't they knewhis mean profeffiot) ;
Sheathing his sword he fneak'daway,
And drove for Glo'fler that fame day.
There soon he found new cause for grief,
for, dining on some fine roast bee', *
They afk'd him what he did prefer.
Some cabbage, or a cucumber ?
What was defign'd a compliment,
He thought severe reflection meant ;
His (tomach tutn'd—he could not eat—
So made an ungenteel retreat.
Next day left Glo'iter in great wrath,
And bid his coachman drive to Bath ;
There he fufpeded fre(h abide,
Because the dinner was roafi gooff.
And that tie might no more be jeer'd.
Fur Exeter diredlly fleer'd ;
There with the beaux he drank about,
Until Jie fear'd they'd found him out.
His glass not fill'd as was his rule.
They said 'twas not a thimble full.
The name of Thimble was enough--^ .
He paid h's reck'ning and went ort ;
Next day to Plymouth he remov'd,
There ffill he unfuccefsful prov'd ;
For tho' he fill'd hisglafs and cup.
He did not always drink it up :
The topers mark'd how he behav'd,
And said a remnant should be lav'd.
The name of remnant gall d him so.
He then refolv'd for fork to go,
There fill'd his bumper to the top,
And always farely drank it up.
We 1 done, fays Jack, a buck of York,
You go ih'io' flitch, Sir, with your work ;
The name of Stitch was such reproach,
He rang the bell, asd call'd the coach;
'But •'e he went, enquiry made,
By what means they'd found out his trade.
You put the cap on and it fits,
Reply'd one of the Yorklhire wits,
Our words in common acceptation,
Could not point but your occupation ;
'Tas you yourfelf gave us the clue,
To find but both your trade and you.
Proud coxcombs and fan aftick beaux,
• In ev*ry place themselves ex pose ;
They travel far at great expeafe.
To (how their wealth & want of sense :
But take this for a (landing rule,
There's no disguise will screen a fool.'
MISCELLANY.
From a late Conne^im? Paper.
A Hint to the Farmers.
THE uncommon demand for Indian
corn last year in this state, turned
the at^ion of people to it ^feral,
and to the particular kind most in de
mand. which was the bright rfow, and
it fetched three pence the bushel more
than any other fort. , ,-

mers prefer the red, because they judg
ed it produced molt from the fame land
—'Others preferred white, because it was
worth, in one part of the date of R'rfode
ifland, more than any other fort ; others
were inattentive.to the kind, and let
their corn be mixed with yellow, red,
blue and white. From a drift observa
tion for many years, I have found what
1 call the large tucket, to be the best and
molt profitable in this clime, it ripens
soon enough to escape early frofts, and
produces more than the smaller size, is
of a high yellow colour, and fetches in
common market two or three pence per
bufhel'more than the other forts.

Gentlemen,
HAVING been informed of the ad
vantage of using the tops of Indi
an corn, cut as rye-straw, to be mixed
with potatoes, foort„, or meal, as food
for horses or cattle. I have been making
the experiment during the prefect win
ter, I find that my cattle thrive better
on this fodder than on rye-straw. The
corn-stalks certainly contain a great
quantity of fanarine fubftance,and there
fore must be highly nutritive, being
cut and scalded with a small quantity
of bran, they afford an excellent mess
for milch cows. In the common way
of foddering cattle with corn tops the
blades are greedily eaten but the stalks
are wafted. Bv adopting the plan re
commended, the whole affords a nutri
tive food.
I am gentlemen, with great refped
Yours, ^c.

Mr. Townsend anting the Biffiop
of Oviedo one day, if he did not think
he was doing harm by the promifeoous
distribution of alms ? " Most undoubt
edly," replied the good prelate. "But
then it is the part of the Magistrate to
clear the streets of beggars ; it is my
duty to give alms to all that ask,"
HE that has a poor piece of ground,
on which he detigns to raise In
dian corn, and hath not manure where
with to enrich the fame ; may in a con
siderable degree answer the fame pur
pbfe by soaking his feed 36 or 48 hours
in a liquor drawn from rich earth, im
pregna ed with salt petre, it being the
fame kind of liquor or lye, we used t?
make falt-petre of in the time of the
late war, (well known to us then) the
fe^d ought to be immediately planted
wh'ri taken out of the liquor. The
Philosophy probably may be, that the
nitre which is said to be the essence of
vegetation) enters the feed byinfufion,
and gives it an expansion in iti,embrio
ftate,'and thereby the firft (hooting roots
are large and take larger hold of the
matrix of earth for nourishment: but
whatever the reason may be, the effed
is true — f have proved it by Sundry ex
periments,

Much mere might be said in favour
of this kind of corn, but the greater de
mand in market and other reasons Ra
ted are fufficient to induce all good eco
nomies to prefer it. A. B.
