RUBY.

At a small way-side beer-shop in the parish of Werrington in the county of

Devon, a few years since there was the following sign:

"The Lengdon Inn, kept by M. Vuller.

Gentlemen walk in and sit at your aise,

Pay for what you call for, and call for what you plaise;

As tristing of late has been to my sorrow,

Pay me to-day and I'll tristee to-morrow."
