So said Pope, and so say I. At Halton East, near Skipton-in Craven, the following inscription arrests the attention of every passer-by:—
Watkinson’s
Acadamy
Whatever man has done man may do.
Also
Dealer in Groceries,
&c.

ORDERS TO MARCH.
The following parody, on a stanza of the “Blue Bonnets over the Border,” is put forth, as an advertisement, by a hatter, at Brighton, named March.
March! March! has the best hats to sell,
Try him, you’ll find him no wily deceiver;
March!—march! go and he’ll use you well.
His is the warehouse for buying a beaver.
Come then, my masters,
Doff your old castors,
Ragged and torn, or howe’er in disorder:
For a new topper, a
Round hat or opera,
March is the man, so give him an order.
March! March! has the best hats to sell, &c.
