SUNDAY OCCUPATION IN New YORK The popula.
ton OF the city Of New York is something in the
nelghborhood OF four or five hundred thousand, of
all ages, sexes, nations and countries and if an in

which this immense number OF human beings spend
their tune on Sabbath days, with any degree of ac
curecy In the results, we confident that il would
exclte wonder and amazement, in the minds of all
that they do not all resort TO place of worship is
EVIDENT from the appearance of our streets on those

do not attend church; that would leave 10000: but
Y is well known, that our churches never contain
much more than one halt Of what they are capable
VI. Therefore, averaging all the churches as being
but half filled, we have 10000 more to be added to
those who do attend church, making 2lO 600 peo
pie In this city who do not attend worship on the
Sabbath. Thus, then, we have one general result
that 2l0, 600 people do not attend church
Then the next question, how do they occupy
themselves on the Sabbath OF these 100000, il is
probable that $4,000 stay at home and pass their
