Mr.. Editor, Winding ones oDn bust
ness used to DO considered capital way Of
making fortune, or preserving q compe-
tence. So long as each attended to bis own
morals, and the well being Of his fanily-
50 long as he did justice BY all who dealt
with him and took care that justice was
done to himself, his whole duty was deem
ed accomplished. 1t was not deemed in
cumbent upon him to watch and ascertain
who of his neighbors ate OF drank this or
that, nor was it deemed necessary that he
should pry into the orders which travels be-
tween his neighbor's house and the grocer's
nor that he should know whether the gro
Ger, baker, or butcher takes change OF gives
credit. As every one was deemed TO have
certain rights of his own, among which was
the privilege of keeping some points of do
nestle economy from the public eye; no.
body made it his particular business to pry
into what was not intended to be known.
The care of the public morals was supposed
to be best maintained by each man taking
care of himself Individually the more
modern doctrines had not become fashiona-
bic, which teaches that if one win busy
himself upon the affairs of others he is &C
quilted from taking care Of his own.
Under whatever specious Of plea the
practice may be defended, it is certain that
the habit which has sometimes obtained, Of
peeping and prying into what certainly does
not Immediately concern the persons who
thus employ themselves, does not do the in
dividual any benefit, whatever good ii may
be imagined TO do the public 1t does not i'm
prove the harmony Of neighborhood, nor
engender good feeling or kind friendship.
It does not conduce to the things which
constitutes peace, or promote quite and
happiness. On the contrary, the reverse of
all these effects are among the fruits ofits
existence, and friends are made bitter enc
mies-set are placed against set in society
class against class. and sex against sex.
Envy and MALTcE should never cover the
pretext Of public good--and the specious
pretence of benefting society, causes more
mischief and i'll blood than any popular i'll
habit can. create.
The Jesuitical maxim, that evil may be
done that good may come-or that the end
iustifes the means, has been too long ex-
ploded to be revived at this late day; and
it is strange that any sophistry can have
persuaded sensible and really conscientious
men into the adoption of it. However, a
short time win illustrate the unworthiness
and folly to such guide to conduct; and
many persons who have thought they were
doing the public a service by injuring them
selves beyond the dictates of wisdom
Cannot exist in community which
IS in a state of excitement, except among
hose members Of society who choose to
lvoid participation in the matters which agi- |
ate the public mind. A year Of two puts
