MR. NAYLOR AND HIS TAILOR

—Eccentric folks, though not exactly rife,
Are often met with in the course of life •
And persons are discover'd, now and then,
Who widely differ from their fellow-men.
I know of some, in my own private sphere,
Whose conduct calls for reprobation here;
Who, when they take a notion in their head,
Will not admit of anythin' instead.
I'm well aware that, in affairs like these,
Folks have a right to fancy what they please;
But no excuse can well be made for this
When person's thoughts are ruled by prejudice.
To illustrate more clearly what I mean,
I'll show how far this prejinlice may lean.
A certain gentleman—Nfithaniel Naylor—
Possess'd a liking forAcertain'('ailor.
This brother of the:tieedle, it appears,
Had worked for Ml. Naylor twenty years;
And not another'could compete with him
In pleasing Mp:N.'s peculiar whim.
His friends perceived defects in his attire,
And blemi.slies which no one could admire;
And Mr. Naylor's garments, let me state,
Were sadly wrong. and sadly out of date;
But, notwithstanding this, Nathaniel Naylor
Resolved that he would never change his Tailor;
And he abided by the vow he'd taken.
Till, all at once, his prejudice was shaken.
A party met at Mr. N.'s one day,
(A very tidy party, so they say,)
And many who assembled in the room,
Appear'd well decked in HYAM's new costume.
The fashionable guests look'd smart, of course,
And their improv'd appearance had its force.
All in the room seem'd struck ; and Mr. N.
Look'd at the gentlemen, and looked again.
" Dear me !" thought he, " they look extremely weld
Whoever made their dress? I cannot tell.
To purchase dress with so much smartness in it
I'd give my tailor warning in a minute."
The more he look'd the more he did admire
The style and make of ii YAM'S choice attire;
Am! when our friend was ultimately told
Where this superior dress was made and sold,
He made a promise that he'd wend his way
To HYAM'S on the first convenient day.
Ile went accordingly, and there inspected
Such samples as he little had expected.
The over-coats of HYAM, in their style?
Drew forth friend Naylor's most approving smile.
Nor did the other specimens of dress
Gain less attention or delight him less.
Thus, to a demonstration, have I prov'd
How
That this is not a solitary case.
