Do you think it is,the result of poverty, and that the situation of , tb e lo.s'er classes of the people has been considerably. I IccprioratO within, the few last years think in some instancts.it may arise from poverty,, but snore generally from a careless ness anti.negligence of the duty which attaches to parents * take .coreof their offspring ; many men and Wotuen might.take cared their children, an d . b r i ng th e w up, in refigious and moral habits, if they were so inelined themselves.

Dry you think that the nun-obser %Inlet of the Sunday hits any effect upon the public morals ainoig the lower classes of society ?---.No doubt ()lit ; I think if they were taught regularly to , ob. , erve the Sunday, that world have a great effect upon them ; ,but. instead of that, they are suffered to gkt,and play about in courts anti alleys, and in the fields, and get into bad company, instead of going to church. o )ou think Sunday papers have any cirect opou public morals 1-1 think not ; I think Sun day pnpets are not numb read by the lower classes of society, sometimes they induce the mechanic to go trio public house and think a pint of por ter, to read the news ; hut not further than that. Po you think the trading in Sunday papers has any effect to deteriorate pgblie morals can not say it has-; but it certainly is an improper thing sounding horns and selling them about thestrect* as tbey r do on Sundays. , Have you bad occasion to notice the number of boys playing , in the fields on a Sunday ?—Fre go en y.. What is your opinion of the effect of that habit ? If they are boys that 'are employed all the week, I think the- effect of that habit is likely to lead them to improper courses and to get into bad company ; they were sent to church and kept proper company, they would get touch better ha bits, no'donbt. a ll ss , i rollt tli deleiti t r v e i c tl o li f n s y o zr o ieri bs a e u r ;t a i t o ir au tl x ut itettylleivr4r
