And Still they Come!

When any thing new in the clothing line
is brought out, we don't like to see people
purchase any thing for themselves. but like
to see them run around helping 10 fit clothes
on other people. We like to hear them say:
swell. now, that coat was intended for Mr..
or this dress for Miss -, &C., for
"did you ever see any thing fit so nice in all
your lives?"
Here we would correct q wrong impress
sion that has crept out. We don't manu-
fracture articles for individual cases, but just
calculate what the wants of the community
will be in the aggregate, and provide &C.
corningly, and then let every one judge for
himself what will suit him best.
We like TO live in this age Of progress and
reform, of discovery and invention, of liber-
al sentiments, Of perfect freedom OF thought
and expression.
We like to see men so liberal in their zen
that they cannot believe the simple
facts Of Revelation, and yet can believe all
the absnrdities Of Deism.
We like to hear men object to the Mosaic
account Of the creation Of the earth, and
yet believe that it crested itself.
We like to see men so Independent that
they won't sign temperance PLEDGE
Wonder il they don't bow down to "Prince
Alcohol" In fine we like to see men who
can gulP down any thing in the shape Of
mesmerism or chircoy0nce, or indeed any
thing in Heaven or earth, or under the earth
It involves nothing Of religious
or moral obligation in it.
W. like to see this liberal spirit getting
even into the churches. We like 70 see
members work we'll in the lead with slack
but the moment you put them in the
off side, or rein them up q little, we like to-
see them bolt.
We like to see church members feel too
free to attend prayer meetings, and class
meetings, &C., unless they just feel like it
yet we like TO see them feel themselves I'M
der obligations to attend every debating
society, town meeting, &c.
W. like to see members changing from
one church to another, getting better Of
course every time-suppose they are 'go-I
ing on to perfection"
We like to see people have q great deal
novelty in their disposition, always pre-
new preachers, new teachers, new
merchants, &C.; and when they have had a
full run Of credit in the old store, we like
to see them spend their cash in the new one.
We like to see parents interest themselves
in getting up high schools, when their chill.
dren might spend their time very proftably
in a common school.
We like to see young ladies' perfected in|
every accomplishment and art, but the srtI
Of being useful and agreeable companions.
We like to hear persons talk a great DEAL
about "~reinement," the "frst class" &C.
They are doubtless very refined and ssnsi-
Bile people themselves, and we would iustl
like to have them give us the modern def
milton Of the terms in plain English.
When ladies who have been raised 10 poorl
and plain families, and have had to "work
for their living," as the phrase is have the
good fortune to marry plain men in "veryI
circumstances" we like to see
them ape the more wealthy and f~ashionable
families, get fine furniture, hire unnecessa.
~ servants, Sc.
We like to see an old sharper draw q
young fellow to one side, and in "honisdI
accents" tell him how much he il his friend.
how much he was his fathers friend.
&c. Look out, youngster, or you are vic-
We like to see boys with chins as smooth
an egg, smoking cigars, swearing fash.
lonsble osths, managing their pspss, and
'ourtng the girls. This is the only way to
make men Of yourselves.
when a countrymen comes to town with
us load Of melons, and is busily engaged
'eiliDg at the side of his Wagon, We like to-
Ice . small boy, when he has no dimes, raise
~ the hind gate Of his wagon just high
'nough to let a melon pass through, so that
the waggonsr starts OMIT may roll out
md break, and the waggoner give It to him.
such talent will doubtless meet a suisabe
ewasd some day. a |,
We like to see men put on Stokes CLOTH.
n.g, believing themselves fitted, as thought
were no other men Of the same ,oeirit,
