forbade a mans walking in his garden or eating mince plea piea on sunday sundays andy and from living specimens of the th old times whom I 1 metin met in connecticut I 1 doubt not but that the people of that state were once tince most rigorous in the observance avan of what they esteemed to be their religious charities but the rising generation are departing far far away from the reverential wa ways ya of those of their fathers who even evert now survive and henc hence the S trong strong c contrast alluded the sight of a small boy chewing or smoking tobacco on tha the streets of a connecticut town would have almost sufficed for the subject of an indignation meeting of the citizens while the sound bound or of an oath from his I 1 lips would have been inexpressibly shocking and
