On entering the Mayor. office last
evening, we noticed that our worthy and
accommodating Mayor had added to the
furniture of the office large mirror, en-
closed in handsome gilt frame, which
struck Us as not being only an article of
ornamentation, but of great practical util-
ity. So many ideas Of its valuable pur-
noses flashed through our mind, that we
were puzzled to imagine what special
object our enterprising Mayor had i'll
view in getting the mirror and placing it
in such conspicuous place in the Coun-
ell Chamber. Our first thought was that
it might be for the benefit and accom-
mediation of our astute Council, that a
they gaze upon its smooth and glossy
surface, and behold reflected II truthful
and impartial image of themselves. they
would thereby reminded that their duties
as Ccuncilmen should be rs faithfully
discharged The next idea that occur
red to us was, in the language of Bobby
Burns:
sOh wad some power the giftie gle Us,
To see ourselves as ithers see us.
And that the Mayor had determined that
those who had imbibed So much tangle-
leg as to cause them to be arraigncd be-
fore his Honor, might thus be enabled to
behold themselves in all the horror of
their inebriated condition, which ought
to DE sufficient warning for them TO see
the error of their way and flee from the
wrath to come Many other ideas pre-
scented themselves to us, any and all of
which show the wisdom of his Honor in
placing this confistcatcd relic in pro
mincnt position in his office.
