THE NEGRO BOY,'OR SUPERSTITION SUB-
DUED.
Near Portsmouth, the " Battle of Minden " the Sign,
An Inn long rsnown'd for good cheer and old wine,
A handsome young hostess, and excellent lodging;
An Officer lately came over from France,
No longer in idle attendance to dance,
His occupants 310tutieur moat gladly disgorging.
This Officer, then, emery comfort ensuring,
At " Battle of Minden " a lodging procuring,
And items of Use and of Ornament lacking;
In dress predetennin'd to shine all resplendent,
Directed, o'er all, that his sable attendant
A quantum should purchase of Warren's Jet Blacking.
The mild youth of Afric the mandate obey'd,
When lo! in the Boots, by the luminous shads
Of sue Jet, w bis dark features glaring ;
Be geed in amaze, long with cxtacy mute,
Then laugh'd, as laugh'd with hint the Chat is. she abet,
And eagerly thence to his {lases repairing ;
" 0 come, Massa Captain," he said, " coma and see
Him live in de lloot--blacky childa as me—
Mush like as my poor leteel broder him seem,
Him die—him come back—die no more," and his eyes
Were glisten'd by joy, when aghast with surprise,
Two " Childs " he viewed in the Boot's jetty gleam.
His Musa the cause of the vision explained;
And now in the youth was delusion restrain'd,
His mind Superstition no longer attacking;
Enhanc'd thence, in fame, is the tine glossy hue
That dress can improve, and dark Error subdue,
Of Warren's resplendent, inimited Blacking!

IMITATION—B[IIRa' GREAPE.—James Atkinson, per-
fumer, respectfully informs the public, that owing to the great
demand for the Bears' Grease imported by him, there are nume-
rous articles sold for Bears' Grease, exactly resembling his in the
outward appearance. These are in general nothing but common
lard, marrow, kce. possessing none of the qualities of genuine
Bears' Grease. Real Bean' Grease, when procured from the
animal in its native climate (in which state it is recommended by all
writers on natural philosophy) is of a very rich penetrating quality,
differing from all other animal and vegetable fats, and the reputa-
tion it has long held for promoting the growth of hair, has bees
lately proved in such numerous cases, as to place its peculiar qua-
lities beyond the question of a doubt ; and when properly Funded
and perfumed, it is a very pleasant and elegant article for dressing
the hair, making it beautifully soft and glossy. The following is
• description of the manner in which Atkinson's Bears' Grease is
sentout. It is in pots, with the words " Atkinson'. Bears' Grease
for the Growth of Hair" bumt on the top. and it is enclosed in a
I wrapper, with his signature; price 2.. CO.; double, 45.; per-
fumed with Otto of Rose, 3s. and is. Sol.l by Jane{ Atkinson,
