a herald bearing a message OF vast
importance to mankind. Written up
on it's brilliantly-hued. shining arch

appreciated after the countless ages

where nsaIIyr Came From.

To the ballad of sally in Our Al
ley" Henry Carey has prefixed an ar
gument SO full of nature that the
song may hereafter derive an add
tional interest from its simple origin.
The author assures the reader that
the popular notion that the subject or
his ballad had been the noted Sally
Salisbury is perfectly erroneous.
The real occasion was this: A shoe
makers prentice, making a holiday
with his sweetheart, treated her with
a sight of Bedlam, the puppet shows,
the flying chairs, and all the elegan-
cies of Moorfields; from whence, pro-
ceeding to the Farthing Pye-house, ne
gave her a collation. Of buns, cheese
cakes, CANNON of bacon, stuffed beef
and bottled ale; through all which
scenes the author lodged them
Charmed with the simplicity OF their
courtship), from whence he drew this
little sketch OF nature.-lsaac Dis

On the body of an unknown man re.
Gently taken out of the Weser, at Bre-
men, was found note declaring that
his suicide was the result OF an

monstrance will ever convince CONT

the same way with the American

this is one kind of advertising which
America will not tolerate is invari-
ably received with polite increduiity.
