neighborhood which is called highly resPseta-
BE, and indeed some Of our best citizens live
here. Soms among ne are a e~hureh-going pso-
pie; others, who would love 10 sit under the
soothing sound Of the gospel, are obliged, BY.
inability to walk the distance, which is consid-

to stay at homs and worship God a. bestthy

Did I say guiaiuds? Al well, I will call that
back, for it is not at aIlappHeable to this neigh

most any sabbath, and you can hear that or his

when disturbed BY the noise, which is 50 IN
esasing some Sundays as TO render it a diheult
matter 20 realize that this really is the day Of
rest. Does cur city ordinances provide no
remedy for this? Must we, who would atleast
love to keep a gaioi Sabba;h-musf we submit
to the nuisance every sabbath that We may
spend here Are such things As these TO be
tolerated in a respectable, orderly neighbor-
hood Of an enlightened city? I%csnnot. nor do
I wish to, become accustomed 10 these things.
Twas taught at my mothers knee Inst this
DAY should Be kept sacred-a day o. rest both
for mind and body. AndId do think, that when
we are allowed six days TO work tor ourselves,
that We might gladly devote the sereHa one 70
cur Godl o. if our hearts do not prompt Is
to bend The knee in sacred reverence, we should
al least have respect enough for God, for our
orH sdues, and for the feelings Of those whom
circumstances may have placed near us, TO
keep gVid on this day, if no more. Now, for
people who really wish and erpscft to BE- rcspecf-
able in a community to 90 cut Of a sabbath
morning and spend the greater part Of the day
in repairing and hanging gates, and doing
0dd Jobs about the house and Tot, etc,
&c, is really unaccountahle 90 mo. If
here has to be Sunday work such as this,
et ne suggest, nay impI0rc, that some
lne get up a patent set Of SuniGg tOols-
a~oissless hammers, saws ETC, etc.-for I
assure you hst The euery dag ones become a
nuisance when they ring 0ui lOud and clear On
he holy Sabbath. I would like for YOU 20
make a few suggestions about this, Messrs-
Editors; and do tell us the best and most
1sscesble way 70 rid ourselves Of his sabbath
annoyance Tel ne if such things are allow

whose duty is il TO put it in force? II

ny not have our wagons and drays running d
le streets and, all the din and hustle o. the
eek, making the Sabbath hideous and our
untamed savagss, as We surely would
e under the circumstances. But I have tres
assed on your patience longer than 7 intended :
