THE SPORTING WORLD. /.-> 



is not such modern citizen, literally of the 

 world, greatly to the extinction of local as well 

 as personal attachments ? We cannot shut our 

 eyes to the conviction that it is so. The man 

 spending the far greater portion of his time in his 

 county or village, becomes associated with all 

 that relates to it ; his interests are more or less 

 the interests of others also, and, to a certain 

 degree, theirs are his ; setting aside all Utopian 

 ideas of the attributes of the human mind, 

 nothing, perhaps, binds man to man with 

 stronger ties than mutual interest. A family 

 in misfortune and distress beneath one's eye, is 

 not to be contemplated without wounding the 

 feelings of any mind not callous to all the feel- 

 ings of common humanity, but those feelings are 

 not hurt when the distress is not seen. The 

 facility of travelling brings the modern squire far 

 from scenes that can wound the feelings, and 

 places him amid others where all is calculated to 

 dazzle and amuse.
