To THIN EDITOR THE HERALD
The address delivered by the Rev. II. W. Beccher,
on Monday evening last, advocating the opening Of
the Mercantile Library and other institutions OF
moral usefulness on Sundays, meets with the ap-
prevail Of q very great many persons who would be
only too happy to have such places OF resort to
visit and pass the day in. There hundreds of
young men who for the want OF such places OF re-

under the influences OF improper associates and
drawn into demora,izing enjoyments a means to

opening Of the libraries, &c. on Sunday would In

with the pious feelings Of those who have the good
fortune in having pleasant homes and happy sur
Eoundings.
