Esi7yturs Of the Sunday Times
IF variety is the spice of life, New York on
a Sunday amt in no dangerof spilin for want OF
sns,,oin Spesialy at this sesin ofthe year. ReldS
in RecIreashin, and Rowdyism is all in full
blast; but reckin the dissiPuls Of ReckreaslLin
and Rowdyism is rayther in the majority. The
churches is well filled with saints, but the out
porin of the sperrit aiming the puohchlhs Is
AniaZin, and heY my dnutS wcther the thirst
for the waters of ufa ekwiS the drouth ior ioS

ALul streets to the laShinabul places Of Plus re-
sort nn Sabbath forenoon; and 1t Is liVeiy
spccktickle 10 sec the crowds Of yung gentlemen
Of fast urincipuls runnin the race that Is set
nfore them OH the Third avenoo Ill the AFTER
noon. The pare of the two purceSShlns, how
sever Is very ditfreHt, and gives rise to So!!eh
reheckshinS in the filysoiick mind The rooe
to saIvnshin is travelled at the rate OF about
three miles an hour, while the pace on the Third
avcano. witch is the hyway Ia Totit, Is sodium
less than mile in three minnts. II Is meiiah-
coIly to thinl; that reidgn is so slow, aud ro"cy-
ism 81 evcrlaStin fast.
Beiu, as you are aware, deSirus oil seem me
in all lis vartrs fcscz, sumtirnes witt Grace
church on a Sunday mornin, Burnhams arter
dinner. and the YUkes GIrten in the Bowery IN
the cvenin. | wouldcnt advise yung christians
of unsettled convickShins, or emmy OF my teller

Grace-church is plcsent place for perSins Of
a kontrite hart as owns pews; but for imdivid.
walls Of no standin as happcrR to drap in and
kant git setcS, its raythcr fattecgin. Its hard
even for an upritc man to hev the In1rmytles OF
his mater reproovcd for hafe an hour without
gettin. an opportoonity 70 SquOt. llOwsevcr,
setch hes not ben my case lately. When tnst
frekwented thar, the awjince loOkt at me as CT
they thort was outer my lotetood, but tine:ly
bcin observed by the seXtnntl got bette r5erth
than he'd rcckind on. For Sarmant on the
vanaty of ritches don't know no more appro
pirate tempul OF wuShip than Gracechurch-
liars setch heep of it thar that every wurd
applies. The way, too, that sartin porshins oil
the rcglar servis hits Of the daShin yung
bluls that spcckylate in Wall street, is enutf to
make EN- Squirm in thar fancy stOx. The
splendid cckwipages with coachmen in livry on
the boxes hes an impoSin ctfeck in frunt OF the
House Of Prair but as WIN of the command
ments scs a wurd or two about given bosses aud
sarvents spell of rest on the Sabbath, and as
nchoddy hes ever hen known to go to hcvin
with a carIidge and hosscs except Elijah, l
don't hardly think they oughtcr to be trYtted
out on Sundays emmy mOrn the fast crabs on
the avenoo.
Speakin Of the fast crabs, how they do spin
up to Bnrnham's in the afternoon? The spor-
tin men sho devuShn to the exercises Of the
tllv that beats Gracechurrh all ho!ler. never
hcerd "amcu" shouted with more arnestness
even Mt a cump.meetin than 'glang" is by the
ongodly two forty fellows on Third avenOO.-
Nose is thar with Lies by his side instead of
bcin at mectin listener To the wurdS of truth;
and Incnny dashin blade that hes to shin it all
throo the week IL meet his daily larbillcties,
sets as sarcy behind his ivry-Stabul nag rs eff
he he'd never stud with tears in his eyes at Pow
ertv Korncr. Gamblers turnouts is rs thick

body wnd suspect that thar ushil ockypaShin
was to look after the antics. Aud, o! Lordy,
how all hans toss off the cocktails and pitches
inter the hideScck But the rush for hum caps
the rlimacl5s. The boys feel their otcS, hIIu
boss flesh hes to teck it. Spavins, wind-gals,
Spiinghalts, ringbOncS hcaveS and Cetery Is en-
tirelv everlookt on sctch OckaShins. No reSpcck
is paid to age or cmasheashin. All the encur-
Judgement the human vice ken afford, and all
perswashin that whipcord ken supply, is freely
bcStodc upon the oTtnrtnit annyTnais. This
continners'with "a few ntermiSShins for smaShcS
at the sportin tavcrns, all the ways to the pawn
stunS, and so ecnds the race of the ongodly on
the Sunday course.
