Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

It is our privilege to know that we live in a Free country, but we apprehend, at the same time, that there are a few amongst us, who care not to understand what true freedom is, who hold law and order in such low estimation that, while they please themselves, are not at pains to ascertain whether their course of conduct injures not the feelings, or tramples on the rights of their fellow citizens. This lawless spirit, we are sorry to perceive, extends very widely among us at the present time, manifesting itself in the disturbance of the religious portion of the community, while engaged in their devotional exercises on the Lord’s day, cutting the harness of persons while so engaged, and setting the horses loose in the streets, and other wise exhibiting a temper of mind that would overthrow everything that is valuable in a well-ordered state of society.
