There ought to be an ordinance for
bidding the merchants of this town put
ting up and lighting lamps in front of
their places OF business. Those lights
blind the eyes of the passers-by so that
when the pedestrian gets beyond the
sphere of radiance, the unlighted
streets are doubly dark to him, and he
becomes the prey of every offset and
gully and precipice in his way.
The editor and his wife disagree
with each other very materially. She
sets things to rights and he writes
things to set. She reads what others
write and he writes what others read.
She keeps the devil out OF the house
as much as possible and he retains him
and could not go to press without him.
She knows more things than she writes
and he writes more things than he
knows.-EJ.
