Men and Manners

The following paragraph, cut from a newspaper, suggests a good deal: 

“A Hindoo cabby, before mounting the box and taking the reins, always first prays that his driving may be to the glory of his God.”

Now this is precisely what the New York hackman invariably does before he gathers up the reins and urges on his “galled jades.”  He curses his horses, his passengers, and his own eyes, and thus commends his driving to the glory of his God, whose other name is LUCIFER.
