SrsEgr E1Hlcs.-On all occasions when IN
the street, care only for yourseH or, if you haze
any thought for others, lst IL be, How you can
most annoy or inconmode them.


II on the sidewalk and another person i. behind
you, walk slowly, 10 detaiu him. II he is in a
hurry, and tries 70 pass you, keep before MN, oy
gartae as The sailors cali it; and if he attempts
20 pass outside of you him into the gutter, II
you can. The last mentioned feat Is the most
efsectua!ly performed by platoon, of ive or SLY,
with locked arms, especially if you press two
or three ladies' into yeur phalanx. This IS capl-
tai way OF sweeping the sidewalk clear Of people
OF other denominations, when you going TO or
returning from your church, on Sunday. As 1t
mas got into pretty general practice, iced
only caution you, not to let it fail by nor assr.


But horse and carriage, or team OF some
sort places you far ahead of any pedestrian, in the
ability TO annoy people. If you are driving IN G
street, crowded by people on foot drive like Jehu
scamper fer their lives. If there is no crowd, pre-
vent and detaia as many as you can from crossing
the streets. If they try deit before you, apply
the lash. If they cross behind you, back or turn
upon them. lis great sport to see cid gentlemen
and ladies' run into the mud or slough, on such &C.
casiozs.


This however, is not the ne plus ulsra OF the
science of disconmoding people; for there is more
tact in choosing a good place TO stop your horse
or team at, than mere tyro might suppose. In
muddy tine, always place your horses, or cattle,
or carriage crossing, and, if possible, across
,ae sidewalk too. BY doing beth at once, you
turn more people out into the mud than you can in
all other modes, and there are more nice clocked
hose, silk skirts and fancy shoes bespat,cred and
spoiled III this way than can be imagined.
Nor should the shop-ksepers lose sight of the
means of annoyance in their power. Hossheads,
barrels, casks, boxes and other empty packages
should be left on the sidewalks, throughout the
day, and certainly through the dark nights If the
boys tumble them into the streets, they may stil!
do some mischief by upsetting carriages


The merely negative indulgence, with whicis
our municipal superiors view these ingenious in
ventons to annoy people in the streets, falls short,
in my opinion, of the encouragement which ought
to be extended to them. We should offer direc,
bounties on all new and useful discoveries of this
kind, and ratronize the old ones in the same way.
