CHILDREN IN CHURCH.

Sir,— lt m«y be a very nice way for fond mother* to get rid of their children on a tiae Sunday in 'ruing, by dressing them tip in thtir ktoro clotbo*, and packing them off to Church, by tutmselves, but, 1 can atsur« you that it is v«-iy rou^h on tie remainder of the congregitiou, to ■ty the U*.«t of it, Sunday momnglvst there w«r« 18 or 20 children, from four to twelve years of age, iv thi Church ot England, without a single adult to look afur them, and the retult was, that ll«r<»as a continued noise from beginuiug to cud of the Bet vice, wiiiiih aiyt'iu^ but tended lo tix ufo^ljS attention uj^ou it A^am, iv tha evening, tome pro id mother brought the j y of the household, in ar ns, to hear lue sermon, and the c terub accomuauied the c»r'ca through hu di^couise, with what the mother, no doubt, considered dulcet •oundfi, but, whi>;h made others fe 1 iv a ' wring its neck " sort of way. I think that the nursery is the proper pUce for children, and not the Cautvu, ualeas they ara tiro(» rly lo^ltel after. — Your*, &c, Bachelor.
