WINCHESTER:
SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20.


M" 1t is a piece of impertnence for
any man or class Of men TO set bounds
and limits 10 individual recreation, so far
as such does not trench upon the rights
and Liberties Of any one. But when we
say to our neighbor, "You shall just do
as we do. like what we like, hate what
we hate--our taste shall be yours, and
you shall speak, laugh, jump, dance or
sing. when we allow you"--such impu.
dence is ludcrous enough, and equally
strange that it should be so common. 1t
seems to have been handed down to US
from our puritan ancestors.
Every individual is the best Judge,
when seated at the table, what he shall
partake Of. One might recommend a
particular dish to his notice, but we have
no right to force him. Just so with our
pleasures or recreations. They are our
own, without any impertinent intermed'
ding. What queer look it would have
should any civic government enact law
what our hotels shall have up
on their dinner tables every day, and
wha, every citizen shall eat. This could
not be dignifcd hespotism, but would
be looked upon as downright eraziness.

HARD TIMEs.--It is noticeable fact,
that whenever times are hard, places Of
amusement flourish best, and merchants
and traders wives arc most sumptuously
attired. At such times the brilliant balls
begin to rattle at night fall, the marble
tables Of restaurants are thronged with
epicures discussing tho cost1est dishes,
and the theatrical managers grin as they
run over their cash receipts. Somebody
says "lhe very desperation Of skinning

travagant when tho days work is done;
and the wives and daughters Of merchants

of woman, the intellect demands more
