To all ,chom II mag concGrn. In this ssfree
country" many persons seem to entertain the
idea that ''what IS not positively forbidden by
law" may be fully enjoyed as an inherent
right; and therefore they indulge in the ''argcst
liberty" perfectly regardless OF the convent
cnce, comfort, sc. of Others, Indeed, in many
cases, the conduct OF such persons, sets at def
ance all rules Of pTopriaty, and makes society
almost lntolcrable Among the many instances,
or practices, to which exceptions may be taken,
we may mention that, conmon to some per-
sons, OF smoking cigars upon the streets. -
Now, we are not disposed to quarrel with those
VINO smoke cigars, simply because their taste
or inclination lead them to do 50, but we So
lemnly protest against the abominable and rude
habit OF cigar smokers posting themselves at
the corners Of streets, or moving along the
crowded thoroughiares, putting the exhibitions
OF what, to many, Is extremely offensive, of
cigars, in the very face Of every person-la-
dies inclGded-that may be passing. Some
persons, we are led to believe, do so from mere
habit, while others for want Of better sense or
shere wantonness. Let those who regard the
prophecies OF society, and the rules of decen-
cy, cease the practice; and aid i'll ffowning it
down among the vulgar. The habit, also, of
stopping and standing, to converse, so as to
block up the pathways, and cause ladies and
gentlemen to step into the street to enable
them to get along, is highly ccnsurable, and
too frequently INDUCED in. These things are
matters of common complaint, and we refer to
hem with the hope that those whom they may
concern will give them their curative attention

ul specimen Of the handy work of Mrs Ann
