IL The Editor of the American.
some years ago, according to tradition.
man livsd and sinned in Ellsworth, Just A. the
representative citizen does at the present time.
Ia the course OF events. he removed to Han
cock and there died. and went. Il was suppo--
od. 10 place other than that "where the good
nig.or- 60" The story further relates that
h- spirit was s1crward called up by one OF
those medium. who claim power to disturb the
peac, ful shsde-, aud questioned about his place
OF abode, and that be responded 1t i lit
tie wor. team Hancock, bat not quite % bad
a. Ellsworth" We humhy trust that what
= sciiy may have been then. ii i, some
tr now; and we say this not forget.
hciiiiy with which rum Is to hc PRO-
Il the discoUrtesy OF those who re,
III make rows on the street. But our
purpose l.. not TO speak of any such
.olation- Of etiquette, but OF certain mir
Aatter., which yet deserve attention; for
only the littls mind which despises little
nings
We might refer to certain lack ~ decor
bt. .t public assemblies. We have observed
for instance at a concert, men and BOYS who
on. but at down and kept them on. We were
unable to decide whether they did it through
the rudeness OF ignorance, or were proud OF
their hats, or were ashamed of their heads.
We observed also q large plumber Of small
hoYs, who seemed 10 De- monarchs OF all they
surveyed. and who. before the performance
began. traycr,inc the length and breadth. and
gallery of tho hall, with the greatest freedom
AMI satisfaction and noise; who appeared new
ct to have heard, that 'chdrcn ought TO he
sen. not heard" and who. for their clatier.
ing and shouting ana whlsiling, ought TO have
i''eu put into the condition Of a cane-seated
chair; that j.. well raiianncd.
Another class i 10 De mentioned. Of those
who ar old enough to have come 10 wears o.
discretion; 10 which. indeed, we may con
ella lr they have come. il We accept this dcfin
u'n. The man by this time hath wit enough
L. choose hi. vice. TO act his pleasure. 10 cour,
hi, mistress. TO talk confidently. and ignorant
lv. and perpe,ualv; 10 despi>e hi, beiiers. e
deny nothing TO his appetite, to do things that
when he i indeed man. he must forcy er bs
ashamed Of" These come hanging into III,
hail a, any time during the evening, and either
stamp along the aisle. OF 80 laundering up in

and Won have rot hoof-. but feet; and feet nev.

Another point Is one which was made b,
Nj. tarn'~ a hi- concert, IA regard to ap-
pause, namely. that APPRECIATION should be
Impressed ,'y The hands and not By tile feet,
Ia ihi- again let u, prove our superiority over
tac beast: We caHuo, Jo ii by stamping. for a
Ao--o can stamp louder than a man; bu, no
animal can cap hi hands 80 well. Bc,iles
stamping a,way~ kich, up . dust, especially
whou the floor l. covered with >aw-lu,i "a

Another sound, which j. TO, only disagree

iae same occasion. Il came TO the ear either
