Sunday Duties and Amusements.
' The old Sabbatarian dispute between
rigid orthodoxy and latitudinarian in-
difference as to the right use to which
to put Sunday will continue to rage,
probably, so'long as every man’s con-
science is his highest law. . At prescrt
it is in rather an acute stage because
the outdoor amusementseason has set
in, when the church has many rival at-
tractions, and one universal form of
amusement has seized upon public
fancy. ' ‘ .
As to its indulgence the clergy is di-
vided. One good man assures his cor-
gregation that none of them will be wel-
come in his church who comes there on
two wheels unless dragged by a horse;
even though decorously attired in long
trousers and white choker, his self-ro-
tation condemns him as an outcast.
Another, Dr. Abbott, welcomes the
rider to church, whether he com es two
wheels or four, propelled by his own
feet or drawn by any number of horses.
A third, the Rev. Thomas Dixon. in-
sists that Sabbath belongs to min in .
its broadest sense, and he would not
limit amusement except by the work it
might impose on others. He takes the
rationalistic ground, too, that the man
who is compelled to work on Sunday
must take his rest on some secular day.
Amid all these varying views there
ought to be room for everv man to
choose. And the man will choose best,
who, while relaxing his labors in Sun:
day amusement, wfll not neglect the
.Opportuuities afiorded him for spiritual
:refreshxment and renewal, and will so
.-.select his-forms of recreation as to give
not the least offense to the samples of
.his most fastidious neighbor. There
and reason can be applied very satis-
_:factorin to the‘solution of the problem
.pf Sunday amusements.
The Epidemic Spreads.
And. may it is RoadiCommissiouer
Kellogg who is booked for a bike.
Even Capt. Ike as a city taxpayer and
a friend and living example of econo-
my, favors a wheel for .“Mart” in view
of the frightful aggregation of :expense
for a livery team, evenIat the low price
of two dollars a day in transporting our
capable and energetic road commis-
sioner over the city’s avenues and high-
ways. On the score of economy, this
furnishings. wheel to "Mart” might be
justified and if it pleases Capt. Ike,
all argument is at an end. But. while
thus running town and city on the
economy plan, why not extend the
principle to its extremest practicable
limits ?
The GAZETTE ventures to suggest, in
this ecoiiomy line, that the town and
city unite and purchase a tandem bike,
~—..
so that Capt. Ike and Mart can go .
scorching over their respective roads
together ! In union there is strength.
Capt. Ike has nerve and courage. This
we allknow, because it is but a short
time ago, that he threatened to thrash
the editor of the Hour out of his boots,
fer slanderous abuse, and every one
do it, if he caught him, and no one be-
lieved this more thoroughly than Mr.
Mapii s himself. Then Mart has weight
and endurance. He could ballast and
aim-(iv the thing. as it were, while Capt.
Ike did the steering and kicking. What
a beamiini and picturesque effect they
would produce when whirling through
the town. It would be worth a. trip
down from North Wilton to see.
Should the crazy wheel careen, Capt.
Ike, having the longest legs could
gracefully slide off and brace the thing,
while Mart struggled to maintain aper-
pendicular. This no doubt, would in a
social wav, prove more pleasant, as well
as more secure, than biking off alone
and after dark inzsome out of the way
alley, in efforts to master the terribly
uncertain machine. But has Capt. Ike,
and does Martfduly realize'the perilous
risks they are to: run if this plan is to be
carried ’outl‘.if
In pity let us again spread before
their eyes the solemn warnings given
Chief Bradley by our esteemed contem-
porary Bodemeyer, who in his desper-
‘
aspératiug bike, has enriched the soil
from Belden Hill to Baton Faint, with
his life’s blood and, brains. He says:—
“The Chief little knpws what he has
pledged himself to. His patience pre-
servance and endurance have never yet
(been subjected to the strain that they
will have to undergo when he essays to
subdue the silent but headstrong steed
of steel. Even after he has acquired
the knack of balancing himself and
propelling the wheel he will find his
troubles just beginning. While his
purpose in learning the art may be for
ordinary straight simple road riding he
will be surprised to find himself in the
first stages, developing into a trick
rider and performing feats of which he
had not considered himself capable.
He will find himself climbing trolley
poles and doing the hurdle not over
curb-stones. He will marvel at his own
skill in steering- his machine with unet-
ring accuracy into the very obstacles
he seeks to avoid. He will be impress-
ed by the discovery of the astonishing
amount of magnetic attraction with
which his system is charged, which will
draw all things unto him, such as hitch-
ing posts, hydrant-s, cobble-stones,
picket fences, stone walls, telephone
poles, milk wagons, trolley cars. etc.
When he wants to “tuck” he’ll go
straight ahead, and when he attempts
to turn around he’ll steer to the left
but will go to the right and whirl
around three or four times and a half
before he is turned around, then he’ll
fall 011'. His next move will be to look
around to see if anybody has noticed
his mishap, after which he will feel of
his kneé where the skin is off, and then
he will resolve never to mount the
peskv thing again until after he has
learned to ride it. We know just what
we're talking about.” .
And is it to this deplorable tale that
Capt. Ike, our Mart and Chief Bradley
are to voluntarily doom themselves.
Perish the thought.

ooBiTiES FROM MAINE.
llichan-Young‘ is the pleasingly sug-
gestive combination of the names of a.
couple married. in Camden, Me., a few
days ago.
Either the ofiices or the citizens of
ll'illiumsburgh, Me., are of an unusual
sort. One man was elected there, im-
oppcsed, a few days ago, to hold seven
different offices.
The vital statistics of Steuben, Me.,
for the .12 months recently closed show
a curious coincidence. During the
year there wene in the town 16 births,
16 deaths and 16 marriages.
The firemen at. Brewer, Me., get five
dollars a. year salary. In the cases
of most of the men the fines exceed the
salary, leaving the firemen in debt to
the town. One lucky fell-ow, last year,
came out seven cents ahead.
A sufferer from rheumatism, in Lew-
iston, Me., borrowed an electric bat-
tery, with the hope that electricity
would cure him. Four weeks after-
ward he was a well man. Strange to ‘
say, he had not turned on the current.
He had merely clutched the handles,
and imagined that he was being, filled
with electricity.

THE woman who Would fain‘ be con-
