A DEVIL wHIPT ROUND STUMP:

In the county Of Northampton, state OF
Pennsylvania. there is little retailer OF
grog (srirituous liquors) who has been I'm
ed by the proper authority, for selling bY
the gill, or halt pint, without license.
Now in order to evade the law, he ap-
plies to tin merchant, who happened TO
be there, for advice to help him out OF the
scrape.
The tin merchant, for the price Of a
weeks board, soon taught our retailer
what to do Indeed, what is it that tin
trader can't do?
They put their heads together, & made
a tin tube, exactly one gard in length, and
Of the thickness to hold one pint OF rum
This they marked off yard, / yard and I
yard-just as pedlsrs of tape and calico
have their yard sticks marked of. Now
when traveller steps in 10 uet his Thistie
he civilly says, Mister Landlord, I'D
thank ye for about ] yard, or Just &C.
cording TO the length Of the Red Lane
Ieng.l oil throat. No sooner said than
done--.be landlord, with solemn step,
moves on, and reaches down from behind
his bottles the tin gard fnbe and measures
out a yard, or !, as the case may be, OF
the ret stuff OF the %, be joyfur--Tbe
traveller sends it down the red lane, vul-
carly called--drinAs il, pays the CASH
and travels bis way.
Friend Printer, il this is not whipping
the devil round stump, ! know not wba.
is.
N. B. The New England folks have
saving, that three Philadelphia Lawyers
are match for the Devil himself, and that
they are able to unravel any knofty point,
let it b. ever so hard, Now, ! would just
civiIly ask such three lawyers, whether
this nam, who sells rum by the yard, in
stead OF by the gill, or bali pint, as the
law says, can be fined? A 1000 dollar
fee will be given.
In conclusion, we will inform, that this
business has become so profitable, that the
tin merchant and the tavern keeper have
entered into CO. partnership. Indeed their
customs increases so fast, that the firm be-
gin already to hold up their heads aad talk
6ig--talk very strongly Of taking out pa
tent-so that would advise our rise ones
in Congress to keep look out when these
sellers OF rum by the yard, come 10 the
city Of Washington for their patent.
