are but two cities of any note, where this
custom prevails Of moving on the lst Of

we draw our being, our order, cleanliness,
and stupidity; and surely no practice
could be more stupid than that of moving
whole city in one day. Such an encoun-

and other moyeables such moving in and
out at the same moment; such smashing

the decanters, sweat-meats and pickles
such clouds Of dust, and remnants of dirt
