SABBATARIAN RULES OF LIFE.
The following extract from a home paper has been handed to us by a correspondent for insertion:—..-' •
It is seldom that a case is more pithily put than we find it in the following "rules of life— for rigid Sabbatarians "—by Gamalie Brown, the whimsical norn de plume of a distinguished writer, who is always ready to help a good cause. 1. You may adulterate your goods on— Monday. •■..':* 2. You must sell by false weight and measure on— Tuesday. .. ''„'.> 3. Yon may slander your neighbour if you can do so safely, on— Wednesday. 4. You may cheat generally within legal limits on— Thursday. . , . 5. You may curse or aware and use bad language on— Friday. 6. You may get drunk on—Saturday . . 7. But you must not play music, sing or , enjoy yourself, or go to a pictare gallery or museum on— Sunday. . < .
N.B.—The Seventh Rule is absolute; all the others are interchangeable at pleasure; or may be concentrated in any one day of the week—provided that you go regularly to church on Sunday and keep the day m on* of gloom.
