SUNDAY WORK AND MRS. GRUNDY.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EPEOTATOR."3 SIR,—The logical process by which Mrs. Grundy has arrived at the conclusion that, for purposes of recreation, paterfamilias may use his legs on Sunday, but materfamilias must on no account employ her fingers, is certainly somewhat strange and unsatis- factory; and doubtless a time will come when Mrs. Grundy herself will acknowledge this. Until then, your correspondent 4t B." might safely venture, I should think, to seek deliverance from Sunday ennui by employing her fingers in making garments for the poor, or on other charitable work ; for even in her most sanctimonious moods Mrs. Grundy could hardly have the courage to denounce "clothing the naked" as a desecration of Sunday.—
