cry of Sabbath desecration was the loudest heard.
God ia me seemed to dread the increase of public houses in the im-
mte neighbourhood of Sunday exhibitions, as if the elevation
of taste and intellect produced a sort of thirst for spirituous li-
quors and Sunday intoxication. Government, with its known
mai berality, can have but one objection to public institutions re-
ning open on Sundays—the increased number of attendants,
or the increased duties to individuals already sufficiently em-
ployed. We are for increased numbers. We should indeed
regret if Government officers could say, as Pope did, in allusion
to the crowd of rhymers that pierced in through'grot and thicket
o the poet's approval of their yerses,_
Ev n Sunday shines no holiday to me.
Let them have days of relaxation and enjoyment as well as other
People : the mere cost of a few additional attendants is unwor-
thy of consideration.—Athenaum.
