Tile -frt Of Walking tic ,Strects.-We
once heard an old sea captain remark, TINT
he would rather undertake to navigace anv
part of the high seas than attempt to walk
through, the streets Of crowded city,
Stree: walking is certainly attended with
some trouble, and more than need be, for
want Of general attention 10 one or two
simple rules. In certain city Of England,
us we have read, the corners were Mt one
time placarded with the following dircc.
tions: "Gentlemcn keep to the right
Blackguaris to the left" This was iuten.
dcd to facilitate the grogress Of passengers
through the strcets-hy causing all pe,lcs-
trians going in one direction to keep on
one side Of the foot path. We question if
the device answered the purpose; for it
keeping to the right were all that were nee.
cssary to establish g"n,lcmanly character,
many from choice would go to the extreme
left.
Unless the rule "kecp to the right" is
generally put in practice, it is almost i'm
possible for an individual to adhere TO it
Say, for example, you meet two or three fat
old ladies, walking abreast on Il shopping
excursion; their attention is attracted to
the goods exhibited at the store doors and
windows, and as for keeping to the right,
such an idea never enters their respectable
noddies. To escape collision, in sucl, n
case, you must dodge either right or left,
as occasion may require, Or be crushed | @
tween an obese matron and a pile of shirt
ing musIins, or get flattcned out between
two Of the portly danes, like piece of
sheet.iron between two stout cylinders in
a rolling mill. Some people have an nm
conqucrable partaIity for the wall, and will
rub their shoulders against it whenever an
opportunity offers, rs u NANCY pig in its
progress rubs itself against a hedge Of
fence. Others show a marked predilection
for the cutters, and nothing but actual force
would make them dycrge six inches from
the curb.stene. Such eccentricitios throw
the whole machinery Of street walking out
