SUNDAYS.
To the Editor oi 1 the " Evening Mail," ' Siß,—la reading the letter of " Reader " in your paper on the compaiative merits of the English and Continental custom of passing the SUndeiy, it reminded me of the anecdote related of the English b'QUird ttllo, after partakiug of the "Squire's" provertial potations", fell into a napping eondiuuu, °n waking from which be called his butler : "Robert, what day is this?" "Suuduy, Sir." " Then biing me another bottle." "Reader" seems to sco no medium between the Eunch-and-Judy method of Frauce and the "another bottle" of the Squire.- Yet from some experience in various countries I think that the decorous, quiet manner of pissing the Sunday in England betokens an much happiness as the whirligig Continental fashion.— l am &c,. SotEz Tkanquille.
