MR. NAYLOR AND HIS TAILOR.

ikccentric 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 mi own private sphere,
Whose conduct calls for reprobation here;
Who, when they take a notion in their head,
Will not admit of anything instead.
I'm well aware that, in affairs like these,
Folks have a right to fancy what they please;
7.teeez But no excuse can well be made f this
When person's thoughts are r by prejudice.
To illustrate more clearly t I mean,
I'll show how far this p dice may lean.
A certain gentleman athaniel Naylor—
Possess'd a likingfeir a certain Tailor.
This brother of the needle, it appears,
Bad worked for Mr. Naylor twenty years;
And not another could compete with him
In pleasing Mr. N.'s peculiar whim.
,His friends perceived defects in his attire,
And blemishes which no one could admire;
And Mr. Naylor's garments, let me state,
Were sadly wrong, and sadly out of date;
But, notwiths'anding 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 well
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 HYAM'S choice attire;
And 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.
He 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 prejudice was happily removed.
And let me tell you here, in proper place,
That this is not a solitary case.
Numbers, who see the dress by HYAM nude,
And ascertain the mod'rate prices paid,
Are tempted, like our hero, to dismiss
Their former Tailors and their prejudice.

JOHN BAKER,
(SUCCESSOR TO MR. JOHN THOMPSON,)

HAIR-CUTTER, PERFUMER, AND WIG-MAKER
80, BOLD-STREET, LIVERPOOL,

TN returning thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and
Inhabitants generally of Liverpool and its vicinity, for
the kind patronage extended to him since he succeeded to the
business of Mr. JOHN THOMPSON, begs to assure them that
no exertion shall be wanting on his part to merit a continuance
of their favours, which have been for so many years best;iwed
upon his predecessor.
J. B. feels the utmost confidence in recommending his new
LIQUID HAIR DYE, which he has just brought out, un-
doubtedly the most perfect and efficient dye ever discovered.
It is a pure liquid, that changes hair of all colours in a few
minutes to any shade required, from light auburn to jet black,
so beautifully natural as to defy detection. It does not stain
the skin, is easily applied, and free from rilijurious quality.
J. B. would also call the attentio e public to his splen-
did assortment of Wigs, Bands Curls of every description.

CAUTION !—As there a rtain unprincipled person's imi-
tating' J. Thornpson's..paorative Balm and Nutritive Balsam,

J. Baker, without which none is genuine.
