III SUNDAY Law.
Its Rigid enforcement and Pro-
posed Mod ficaiiOn.

1 az L16 A6Sk Mo1AuS VI thS O<-AN -
| Aldermen, a pstiliIl Wss handed In by
| Alderman Duff, signed by three hun
dTed persons, praying that the Sunday
law be so modified and amended that to-
b~scoonists might sell tobacco and cigars
on Sunday. Some Alderman proposed
that the smendment be extended 70 sa-
looms, SO as to allow them 20 keep q back
| door open for the benefit Of those who
bslieve it is no harm TO take a little vine
for the stomach sake on the Sabbath dag.
This was very properly objected to and
voted down. The law closing liquor sa-
Icons on Sunday is a good one, and Is
very properly enforced, as it would be q
rood thing for the community st large If
all Have were enforced. The feW VINO are
ip~convenieneed by 1t, who are habitual
drinkers, shonld be content to submit 10
one days deprivation Tor the general
good. But our duty is not TO write a
homily, 1t least at this time-We only
desire to introduce. for the benefit OF the
.sSdnday dodgers" the following lines,
which found their wsy into our posses
sion we know not how, and which, it will
be- seen are dedicated to that class. The
author states in q private note that they
were written in g state M under cir
cumstancss OF great excitement. They
will awaken q sympathetic chord IN the
breast of more than one Of our readers (;
