The reader has doubtless seen a town in which the peo- ple allowed their domestic animals to run at large, the cat- tle to destroy sidewalks, to break through fences and to tear down trees, the dogs and cats to roam at large and turn over trash and garbage cans causing the streets to be littered with ‘trash and filth. ‘This want of courtesy is not uncommon. In short, it is altogether too common in many towns of the country, and upon the part of the owners of animals it shows a complete » disregard of the rights of those who would beautify their homes, and correspondingly beautify their yards. The code_of civility should not alone apply among in- dividuals when directly associated together. It should extend farther. ‘It should go out and permeate a neighborhood. It should diffuse itself throughout a town. It should bind to- gether the people of a state, of a nation. Tt should be a rule of action among all nations. Already the evidences of courtesy among nations begins to manifest itself. Congress is based upon this principle. The idea of friendly association of the representatives of nations for mutual, adjustment of differences, is the beginning of a Tecognition of the rights of each other. This is evidence of a higher civilization. When we can rise superior to selfishness, when we are willing to consider the rights and the requirements of others, when we are gov- erned by the generous spirit of doing unto others as we would have them do-unto us, then we are directed by a power that will make an entire people, as a whole, what the laws of civility determine they shall be individually, in their inter~ course with each other. Our homes are surrounded and disfigured by high in- closures against uncivility among neighbors. */ed New York novelist and~ his- torian of his day, born at Vevay, jInd. Died Sept. 2, 1902.
