"squenehed" Sunday morning as usual.
Two saiOons open on Sunday, and a rush
was observable ali day long about their doors.
The ',rounders' had but a very limited

The old drunks smiled Sunday at the Sun

That is little Sunday school girls opinion,
and We heard it expressed yesterday.
Our young men are given to horseback tx

No country MAS ever blessed with finer

own horse In country where even an ed

of complaining
The bar-keepers had a chtnce yesterday to
sun themselves. We heard lady remark,
after having passed little party Of those
neat and spruce-lOoking gentlemen, thst the
bar. keepers, as a class, are the finest looking
men in the city. Some Of them are pretty
nice looking fellows, that's true.
Sunday We noticed display OF fatheriy
affection such as is good for the soul. A
poor laboring man, with a sick son, was OBJ
served on the street. The boy was OF good
size, but evidently quite feeble from recent
sickness. The boy got his much needed air
ing in his fathers arms, and rot in bed OF
carriage cushions: consequently some dwarf
ell souled individuals looking on laughed
quite heartily. That's all right. Those III
dividuals wont laugh in heaven when that
poor father is being crowned there.
On Sunday there Is always display OF
half-clad, shiyering children on the streets.
During the week they are bundled up good
and warm for school, and enjoy comfort: hut
when Sunday comes they don their best
''toas" and freeze the whole day. We noticed
one little girl yesterday that was clad III
real charming costume, truly, but it afforded
but little more protection than fig leaf from
the cold, and all pleasure in the sight of the
very neat dress was marred by the blue face
and shaking form of the child. Dress chill
dren warm and don't forget that all were
once children and disliked abuse.
We heard very worldly individual re-
mark, Sunday, that he always got up early
on Sabbath morning to get good look at
truly pious people on their way home from
early mass. He said one glance at a truly
pious womans face helped all the week
through In his hfe's battle with faces right
the reverse He was a hardened sinner, but
his philosophy brushed close to the truth.
People who sacrifice the late Sunday morn
ing nap-and they are generally women-to
attend early divine worship, show something
more than 4 mere outward display In their
religion. Their hearts accompany them to
church, very likely.
From the great throngs of church goers
observed upon the streets, Sunday, the
att lal ShO
think 1t pains us to remark upon the
church attending community, that there Is
among them certain class that may well
be called professional church critics, or chronic
church GROWERS, who attend divine worship
for no other purpose in the world than with
the hope OF fading flaw in the religious opin
ion of a minister that they can harp upon
and argue over with some timid and lily post
ed church member. The expression OF our
opinion upon this subject is prompted by
overhearing one of this stripe commenting
sarcastically upon a sermon that ne really
had not the brain to fathOm.
Il is our intention hereafter to give syn
opsis Of a sermon that We chance 10 hear on
Sunday evening, in this column, and We
would have done so to-day but for the fact
that the reporter who was to have taken it
last evening, was called from the door OF the
church which he was entering to the bedside
of sick friend. So We will give our readers
a sermon of our own production. A brief
one, too. Train up child IN the way It
should 90, and when it gets old you won't be
ashamed of it." Just the exact location IN

liberty to say, and it don't matter much A
report of crime committed on the Pacific
Coast shows the alarming facts that big
majority of the criminals are men OF former
HIGH standing and sons Of honorable snd
highly respectable parents. Well, boy gets
a mighty big start down the criminal incline
by being allowed to roam the country at
large on the Sabbath day. Parents who do
not know what becomes OF tier boys when
Sunday school letters are stricken OIL, should
know, by all means There is no finer field
open to boys anywhere fOr fun than the
streets of this city. A hootinS and bowling
band Of boys, yesterday, on back street,
was designated by a locker on as a mob OF
Sunday school fends. Some dme ago, We
were informed that flock of these fun ioy-
;n1 bovs got their backs perforated with
mustard-seed shot. and friendly doctor
picked the shot out and tied up Their sore
hacks and said nothing about 1t. Well, an
