DEPENDENCE.


The Salisbury IN. c. Wa,chman tells the s,o.
ry of a tavern keeper, who, having grown rich.
grew very ca reess and so offended the lawyers
by whom his house had beon filed, that, during
one crowded session Of the court, they with one
accord forsook him, leaving behind them the fol-
lowing parody on the Declaration of Independ.
ence:


"When in tho course Of human events it be-
comes necessary for q half.hungry, halffcd, i'm.

the causes which have impelled them to the sep.

and they are endowed by their Creator with GER.
tain inalienable rights among which are, that no
man should be compelled to starve, out of mere
compliance to landlord. and that every man has
right to fill his stomach and wet his whistle with
the best that's going.


"The history of the present landlord of the
White Lion is history of repeated insults, ex.
actions, and injuries. all having in direct object
the establishment of absolute tyranny over our
stomachs and throats. To prove this, let facts be

"He has protected one-eyed Joe in his vany,

g'se him mock trial, after sharing with him the
spoil.


" He has cut off our trade with foreign ports
and brought in his own own bald faced whiskey.

and with Pcrfdy scarcely paralleed in the most

foreign Spirits and fill up our bottle with his own

Nor have we been wanting in our attention to
Mrs. b. and Miss Sally. We have appealed to
their native justice and magnanimity; We have
conjnred them to alter state Of things which
would inevitably interrupt our connection and cor.
respondence. They, too, have beon deaf to the
voice OF justice we are, therefore, constrained to
hold all three of ,hese parties alike inimical to
our welibeing and regardless of our comfort.


We therefore make this solemn decIara ton
OF our final separation from our landlord, and
cast our defiance in his teelh.''
