TN consequence of the repeated complaints mide by
Professional Gentlemen of the disappointments they meet
with in their practice, and the danger to which their Patients
are exposed in consequence of a spurious article sold fur Crown
Tighum Oil, the Honourable Board of bis Majesty's Stamp
Duties have ordered a plate with the name of " Arthur Short,
)o. 11, Ratclaff Highway," engraved thereon, consequently
sod only to which this Stamp is affixed will be genuine; it is
hoped this will counteract the abuse alluded to, and secure to
• Patentee his interest therein, whose introduction of it into
_ has been attended with much expense, time, and labour.

THE INNKEEPER AND THE ARTIST.
LA VINTNER who lately sold Ale by the Pound,
A guest entertained ; in whose high polish'd Boots
Each image reflected; a Wizzard profound
He sdeni'd, and attended by Imps his pursuits.
The Inn bore no Sign, and his skill now to try on,—
There flar'd, o'er the door, a fierce rampant Red Lion.
Bat torrents the flood-gates of ev'ning had shed,
And,lo! in the morning, the Lion was fled!
The Imps in the Boots, by some fell incantation,
Deposed him, 'twas said, from his high elevation;
Fut who, but these Jet-lodging Devils, to blame—
At home and abroad widely blazon'd by Fame?
Once more on the sign board the effigy plac'd,
A captive he seem'd, by string fetters embraetl ;
'Re night came on wet, and he burst from his chain,
And lied horn the Imps in the Boots once again!
By terror assail's), and these Devils in view,

" Your Worship !" be wild, " I sell Ale by the Pound !"
Ike Justice surpris'd, ezelaini'd—" How is% you do?"
" I thank you," the Landlord replied, " pretty wall;
i hope so are you !"—and his story to tell
proceeded;—When finish'd the marvellous tale:—
" My friend, on correctness my judgment it founded,
You live near the spot where stray Cattle are pounded,
And certainly thus by the Pound seU your Ale.
" Now spare," said the Justice, " your terror and toil ;
Co home—tell the Artist the Lion to oil ;
Its then will stand fast, though his station attacking
