SIGNS THAT FALED.-We all remember the stor
OF the innkeeper Who became proud as he prosperei
ana taxing down ais sign Of the ass, put up a Dor
trait Of George ". in its place. His neiehbor i'm
medlately raised the cas.otf efigy, and, sin thi
sign ne conquered" The first landlord, alarmed .
the increasing popularity Of his rival, and under
seanoing the cause, wrote under the grim visase 0
bis majesty: This is the real ASS"
But : moro ludicrous incident of the kind is Jus
told at the expense Of the good bishop of Llandaa
He took up his abode near the head of lake Win
dermere, where the principal inn was known a, tn
cock: but the landlord by way ofcompliment to hi
distinguished neighbor, substituted the Bishop .
the new sign. An innkeeper close by, who had FRI
quently envied mine host of the cock in securing
considerable preponderance Of visitors took advsI
t.ge OF the change, and attracted many travellers
ms home by putting up the sign of the cock. II
landlord with the new sign was much discom6ts
At seeing many Of his old customers deposited at
riVais establishment: SO by way Of remedy, he pr
up, in large, red letters, under the portrait Of Il
bishop: This is the old cock"
