YOUR HONOJ.lS,-We observe WIth regret tbat you have heen memoflahzed by more than 0110 hundred of our fellow CItizens, under the lead and IDstlgatlOll of an assoCIatIOn callIng tself the Sabbath CommIttee, to suppress the

crymg of newspapers on Sunday-to" abate " It II as a nUIsance," and we beg leave to ask your attentIOn to thIS, our respectfnl rem on strauce, whICh we enter as fellow ~Izens and true lovers of CIVIl and relIgIOUS II berty

The memorIalIsts condItIOn thell request upon t~e failure of the publishers of Sunday papel s to effect the deSIred change, a~ they mform you they have requested of them Bnt, upon reflectIon, we thmk you will perceIve that thIS war (as one of our most mfiuentIaI dUlly papelS, find one m favor of thIS change-the liew York Trzbune-hns dp.clal ed,) a most unreasonable thmg to ask of the publIshers, 'IDee "they have no power flO do what IS re qmrcIl of them" What restramt can the seI­ler ext rClse over the buyer's method of vending Ins wares? It would seem that the mteillgent gentlemen of the memorl!ll, as well as those of the Sabbath CommIttee, must have been sensl ble of tillS, and we are compelled to conclude, II! vIew of these facts, that thIS was bnt a ruse de guerre, Intended to eXCIte odIUm lD the comwulllly agamst the pnbhshers In questlou, by leavmg the ImpreSSIOn that they had wIII­full) rdu.ed to accede to theIr request, whereas It lIas wholly out of theIr power to grant It

th memormlIsts proceed to stigmatIze the Clles of tb( newsboys as If a nUisance," when attClcd on Slmday, for the followmg reasons They "forbId sleep "_,, dIsturb the qUiet of Ihe SIck room "_If Interrupt domestIc conversa­tIon and worshIp "_If mterfere WIth 'Impartmg religIOUS mstructlon' III the Sabbath School," and' disturb ChristIan congregatIOns, lD theIr Rcts of solemn worshIp" Now we submit to your honorable body that neIther sleep nor SIckness, domestIc conversatlorr nor worshIp, nor mstIuctIon either pubhc or prIvate, IS con­fined to the first day of the week, but they are common to every day, so that It seems plamly unrel1~ouable on that ground to characterIze the erymg of newspapers On thIS one day" a nUisance," while on the other SIX It IS vlftuaUy admitted not to be If a nUlBnnce "

If to thIS, It IS replied that If pubhc worshIp" IS held mamly, and" Sabbath Schools" entIre­ly upon Sunday, we answer agam, tha't, WIth regard to pubhc worship, we beheve there IS not a day or _evenmg III the week In whIch muny congregatIOns are not assembled (espe maUy In these reVIval tImes) for publIc worship, sq thllt, In the aggregate at least, these meet­Ings In SIX days, Will exceed those of Sunday Xnd ugam, the Jews-of whom there are some thIrty thousand In New York-and the Sev­enth day Baptists-a very respectable ChrIS­tIan dcnommatlon-worshlp speCIally upon Sa t­urduy, whIle the Quakers-mclndmg many of OUr wost valuable CItIzens-have pnblIc wor­shIp on 'l'hursday and Sunday equally. As to the ~cctallUn "Sonday Schools," and the" Te iIglO llS IOstructlon" thercm com'eyed, In favor of winch you are asked to dlscrlmmate, we ask YOIl to rememher the unsectarllln publIc SChools, open five days of the week, and the valuable JUstructlon gIven thermn under mUDlCl­pal superllslon TIIO crIes of newsboys, like the nOIse of travel, no more Illterferes WIth the Ullpartml!; of rehglOns than secular JUstroctlOn, and the latter occupIes nt least ten tImes as many hours as the former We remonstrate

The late reVival meetings and anmversarles, us well as the ordinary relIgIons meetings held during each week, Without any compl!llDt of serIO os InterruptIOn from street nOises, show thut the change deSIred IS not a necessary one to tbe mterests of rel!gloosf lDstrnctlOu or wor­~IP, b,lIt only to the success of the "Sabbath

We admit that the cries of newsboys, as well as those of the vendelU of frmts and mer chandlze, (and we may add In the same cate­goty the groanmg and shouting of MethodIsts In their meetIng,) are often" so loud and dlS­cordant" as to be disagreeable; especially so, of course, to those who feel no mterest In, and perchance are strongly dISinclIned to, the ob Jects so ' vocIferously" set forth by "stentorian lungs," but, admlttmg thiS, we serIOusly ques tlOIl whether thIS Iucldental eVil IS suffiCIent to stamp these crIes and gloans as "nUIsances" In the eye of the law, so that you can properly be called upon to abate them But, If they are upon auy day of the II eek, we submIt that they are upon all, If tbey are not upon Satur day or Monday, we lUSlst that they are not 80 upon Snnday or 'l'bnrsday And If one of these thlDgs IS a nUIsance, they ull ale And y~t the memorl'llIsts dlscrunmate between tile crying of pa PCI 8 and the crymg of Othel thmgs on Sunday 'l'he paper from whICh we have already quoted as declallng unreasonable the demand made by the memorl!llIsts of the publIshers of Sunday papers also remarks upon theIr errOl In thIS p'artICular

It IS a questIOn WhICh, as we learn, has re ceItUy been dIscussed m L:>ndon, where the CrIeS of the venners of frUlt news, etc, me much more frequent upon all days of the week, than m our CItieS, whether the whole thmg ought not to be prolublted, some of the more promment wrIters havmg advocated snch pro hibitlOn warmly, and others as warmly opposed It, but although a SOClCty eXIsts thel e for the promotIOn of "the better observance of the Lord's day" WlllCh IS makmg VIgorous efforts to accomphsh therr objects, we believe they have not had (and we do not beheve they Will have) the audaCIty to ask the cIty authorIties to declare a nUIsance, and order the polIce to ploceed agawst as,sucu, the crYlUJ of one par tlcnlar artIcle upon one partIClllal day of the week, III JIlVldllOUS dlstmctlOn from all other artICles and all other da) s And we cannot bnt thInk that though In your anxiety to obhge so large and respectable a body of CitIzens as the memorIalIsts, you have given them Imme­diate encouragement that you will enter upon such dlstlllctlOns here, you WIll, upon further reHectlOn, reconSider your deCISion, and deny theIr prayer If the offermg of newspapers for sale, m thIS or any other way, IS plamly for bIdden by any cml or mUUlclpal statute or or dmance now m full force and not obsolete, let those offendmg agamst It be treated accordmg to Its provIsIOns b.s gUIlty of a penal offence, but let not a new and dangerous precedent be establIshed by proceedmg agamst It as "a nDlsance!' You are aware that a Judlcml de CISlOn has recently been gIven m a sIster State whIch JnstIfies any persou or persons m takmg It upon themselves, nnder the law, to deCIde as to what sales or establishments are nDlsances, proceedmg agalnst them vz et armzs, and com­pletely destroymg the offenSIve matter You are also aware that If the crying of newspapers on l::Iunday may be declared a nDlsance, theIr sale and Issue on that day may also by the same token be so declared, and If the deCISIOn of Chief JustIce Shaw IS confirmed and estab­hshed here, (as Dr John Marsh, an ardent Sabbatarlan clergyman, recently declared pnb IIcly tbat he hoped and belIeved I t would be,) the offices of the Sunday papers may be de stroyed by a mob of the men or women who oppose them, With legal Impnmty. But we thmk you WIll not fatl to percClve that such an attack upon the Suaday papers would most surely and naturally be retahated at once upon the "relIgIOUS weeklIes" whICh are so busy In

We are not unappmed tbat there IS a law upon the statute book of our Commonwealth forblddmg all traffic (or With few exceptIons) on Sunday; but thIS law has now for many years been nuderstood to be obsolete, and m the oplDlOn of a great majority of our CItIzens, has been regarded !IS foreIgn to the s pmt If not opposed to the express prOVIsions of our natIonal and State constItutIOns, whIch forbId all mterference WIth I elil!;lous belief and all fa vormg of one relIgIOns party more than an­other It cannot certamly be demed that thIS law has fallen mto dlsqnletude and neglect, no attempt (or next to none) havmg been made now for many years to enforce It by the officers of the law. Some two months smce, Hon B F. Butler, who IS one of the memol'lallsts, we perceive stated at a pubhc meetmg, held m the hall of the New York HistOrical SocIety, that he was one of the COmmISSioners appomted to revIse the State statutes some years ago, and he well remembered the dISCUSSIOn which oc. cnrred III the Board upon the questIOn whether the Sunday law should be retamed or erased, and that It was finally determmed to retam It !IS It stood; but only on the ground of respect for the anthors of that law, and WIthout any expectatIon that It wonld be fully enforced IU the future, or any deSire that It should be, as It had not heeu IU the past

Your remonstrants feel assured that If thIS old Sunday law from bemg a dead letter, IS now attempted' to be rigIdly enforced, there will at once be an overwhelmmg demand from the people for Its IU)medmte and complete reo peal It is apparent to us that It IS tbe mten tIon of the If Sabbath Committee" to urge npon you the enforcement of thIS obsolete law in some of Its provuUons, e g., that agalnst traffic; bnt we snbmlt that no attempt shonld be

Some years ago, there lived In Frankfort, In Germany, a man who possessed worldly wealth, but was 'not rich toward God."

I do not know any of the pastors In the City, and therefore I cannot go to any of them for an explanatIOn" StIll he Wished to have the passage explained He then tbought qf an emment mlDlster named Domalre, but said, .. He does not know me, how can I get at him for an explanatIOn Z" Just then hIS door­bell rung, and lU hiS agItatIOn of mmd he opeued the door himself, mstead of waltmg for hiS oervant to do so Mr Domalre stood thpre before him He crIed out, If Mr. Do maire, heaven sends yon to mej come, come" Mr Domalre went lU, and, surprISed, asHied the cause of hIS speaklIJg thus He rephed, .. I was Just thmklDg that If I could see you, you wonld explalD thIS passage of ScrIpture to me " Mr Domalre gave hIm the expll\natlOn he sought, and further Improved the opportumty to set before hIm the thmgs winch belonged, to IllS peace, by pOlOtlllg hIm to Jesns, the way, the truth, and the life. The lUstructlOns given were applIed by the Holy Spmt; he reCeIved the Lruth and became a man of prayed..l,..a Chrlstmn

But as the two were not personally ac. quamted, what led I1ir Domalre to the house? He was wtendmg to call on a frIend m tbe same street, whose honse he well knew, but from absence of mmd he went to the wrong door That mistake led him Just wbere he WRII needed, It led to the salvatIOn of. a soul I But who will Bay It was a mere aCCident f Who does not see lU It tbe prOVIdence of God?

The New York Time, of Monday 14tb, deals in Bome pretty coarse compliments to the Sunday newspapers, on account of their oppo· sitiou to the attempt to stop the newsboys fro:u crying their paperw ou Sunday.

'rile Christlan Foreman and tne Clever lIechamc.

" I WiSh: the temperance people wonld get my man Thomas Drew to t.ake the pledge," saId a gentleman who owned an iron foundry.

.. And so do I," said the foreman of the works III reply, It wonld be Bomethmg In your pocket, and save me a great deal of trouble­to say nothing of the great comfort It would prove to hiS Wife and famIly"

~ Now this Thomas Drew wa~ a mechaniC, jand a' first rate hand In the lIepartment III !WhAch he worked However, like many other clever hands, he was gIVen to tippling. If he liked, he conid eaady earn hIS two and three pounds a week, bnt as It was, he gellerally took no more than twenty five sbIllmgs on Saturday DIght Does the reader ask, How was tbls 7 Well, It was becanse he seldom got to work be fore Wednesday mOIDmg Saturday mght, as much of Sunday as the law would allow, and parts of Monday and Tuesday, he was III a pub

attended his benevolent efforts, and hoped It would prove the beglllUlng of better days­although his confidence III the matter was not very strong fot he knew not the power of God which had been exerted on his servant's mIDd

hc house spendmg hiS earnmgs, and thus keep mg hIS Wife and chIldlen destitute of the neces­saries and c~!orts ofhfe After such a carous­al, even when~ did begm to work, he could not do much until the followmg day Even on Thursday, Friday and Saturday he could not put forth effiCiently all hIS meutal and phy sical energIes, because he lacked a proper sup­ply of necessary food If he had done so, thlfty slnlhngs or more wonld have been forth

Thomas returned to his own home III the evenmg HIs antiCIpatIOns respectmg It were not very san gUIDe He knew It would afford a strong contrast to the home WhICh he hud enJoyed smce Saturday afternoon However, he was In a measure pleasIDgly dlsappolDted It was trne that, so far as the furmture was concerned, It was Just as he expected. But It IS lIkeWIse true that there was a comfortable supply of plaIn but substantJaI food there was enough and to spare. HIS WIfe had laId out part of the fonrteen shillings to the best ad­vantage In food, and she had done her best m the preparatIOn of It Thomas was really sur prlsed how far a lIttle money would go, If pro perIy expended, ID fnakmg one comfortable He had no Idea of the matter before Almos\. weekly he had squandered a pouud In strong drmk-a ponnd which, If It had been properly expended, \\ ould have amazmgly contnbed to hiS comfort, but WhICh, as he had spent It, mad~ hIm mIserable and lazy, hIS home com fortless and hiS Wife and children haggard and wretched

After he had partaken of the evenmg meal, he asked hIS WIfe wJlether she had a Bible III

the house " No," she replIed, "but I can borrow one" "If I had the money I would buy one," he saId, "for they are to be had for ten pence a pIece" " 0," hIS WIfe replIed, "I h" ve lour or five shIllIngs of the money Mr .J~nmng gave me on Saturday mght," and she put the money IDto hiS hand Without heslta tlOn Thomas went to the Bible depot, and bought oue He returned, and when hIS Wife was ready she and some of the elder chIldreu sat down, and he read three or four chapters out of one of the Gospels Afterwards they all knelt down, and the father and the husband prayed Though the sentences of that prayer were broken, and many of them InartICulate, yet It was acceptable to God

comlDg on pay mght Oy account of Thomas Drew's nn t \}

ways, the master and foreman of the tOl :rUI)

had frequently talked abont dlschargmg Inm Matters which wanted attentIOn on Monoay morDIng could not be attended to until Wed nesday, and of course thiS was very annoymg to the employer. 'l'he master's threats \Vonla have been pnt mto executIOn If Thomas bad not been a superior workman But as he ex celled m a certam department, and as hiS equal In sklJI could not be met With, he WIlS retllmed time after time Oftuups did the mas ter gmY him moral counsel respect10g hiS evil ways, and of tImes did the master reqnest him to attend temperance meetmgs

It was on seemg a teptperunce meetmg an nounced that the conve~atlon With whICh we commenced thiS story t ok place Whether the temperance people ade any speCIal effol t to get hold of Thomas we cannot say HolV ever, thiS we can Bay, that the foreman deter­mIDed to be unremlttmg In hiS endeavols to reclaim the mebrlate And, moreover, we rejOice to say he was successful, as we shall presently se~

The foreman was a truly Christian man, and hiS labors did not end ID talkmg He praetlc ed as well as exhorted One Satmdav, when he was paymg the men theIr wages, Thomas' turn came as usual. On reckonmg With hIm he fonnd that It was an ullusually bad week for hIm "Well> how 18 thIS, Thomas," sllld the foreman, "that you have ouly fourteen shIlhngs commg to you thIS week ?"

" I didn't get to work till Thursday, and all the time I have been at It I have felt qUIte nnfit for It," replIed Thomas

"~brough your drmkmg at the b€gmmng of the week 7" sllld the foreman.

" Suppose that IS It," Thomas added " All da.yon Wednesday I was tD bed, tormented 111

body and soul I shouldn't have-come to work at all thiS week, but could not bear to be In bed WIth myself, and I had no comfort at hc,me"

AgaIn the next morDlng Thomas was at hiS work AgaIn the next Sunday he was found III the sanctuary AgaIn the next MondllY morDIng he was m hIS place And so It con tInued Old thmgs passed away, behold all thIngs becnme new The foudest hopes of Mr BonDIng ~ele reahzed The master was glad of the change, although he knew not whence It came The other mechaDlcs were compelled to admit that Ibomas had become a very dlf ferent man Atter a while he fonnd peace throu.,(h the blood of the Lamb He progreos­cd \U WIsdom's ways, he expellenced the ad vantage 01 true piety, and before long he WIt nessed the good confes-lOn before many WIt nesscs

Where IS 'rhomas now? He IS stIll at the foundlY He still retams the pie emmence as a mechalllc III hIS own department, and gener ally t lkes hIS three pounds a week He now has a reSidence WOI thy the name of a honse, and equal Iii" comfort to what Mr Bounlllg's was, when that gentleman took hIm to hiS home and nUl sed 111m The best of It, too, IS, he cau call It hiS OWII, becanse With Its savmgs he purchased It On Sunday he goes np to the house of God With hIS \Hfe and famtly He IS a teachet m the Sunday School, and dllr 109 the time not so employed, he IS dlhgent at home III tlalOlDg hiS own clllldren 10 Wisdom's was s HIS own" orks pllllse 111m, and he IS respected by all who know him
