110 W TO LOSE A CUSTOMER.
—.so—
An honest barber, residing in the village of Penton-
'Meg had, for a number of years, dissected the beard
of a late landlord of a respectable public-house in
that place, with much satisfaction and credit to his
customer, till the worthy host having quitted the bu-
siness, and wishing to appear a little spruce, deli-
vered his wig-bus to the operator, with orders to
get it dressed and pressed. The boa containing the
jasty was carried off by the peruke-maker, and care-
hr
lessly thrown down in his shop to wait and e his
curls in tern ; but no sooner had the bar began
