Of doctor Snip, the knight of the thimbe, alias, 5,
MY return, however, proves that the fable of The DO
and wolf is applicable to the Journal. The fable is
"A boy was employed to watch and give the alarm,
when the wolf appeared; he being either 'footnan,a
ailors p, liar, frequently cried out the wolfin
coming to the great dsmny of the citizens "h y
last found out his real character: that he liar,
and not to be believed when he spoke the truth"
The fact is that must produce their effects. So
will prove, of the allwise writers, Dr. Snip & Co.. in
| the Journal l would advise them to provide them
selves with steam engine press in order to meet the
wonderful demand and increase of that paper, It's it is
well known, there are many who seek for nothing but
fasehood of sheer love to the vendors of thar ar
Gle But unfortunately for Goah Snip Of needle and
thmblc celebrity, the great mass of the millions of A.
mercan people, are famed and far famed IS lovers of
truth Therefore they will (ns effects produced by the
causes 81 naturally say, to read paper, That
may rely on therefore will seek out such, and become
suost riber to the other journals, whose statements
will not prs,t false. Their LIS: statements are too pal
pable to requite r,tItation; yet will state:
