COMPLAINTS having been made at this office of dangers and
disturbances arising from the rapidity with which carriages are
driven on the Lord's Day, special persons have been selected to
take notice of this indecorous conduct, that the law on the
subject may be rigidly enforced. It is forbidden to drive, during
Divine Service, or while the inhabitants are going to or
returning from their several houses of public worship, any
carriage at a greater rate than a walk or moderate foot pace; and
masters and mistresses are responsible, if the servants are
unable to pay the penalty incurred by them in this offence.

Making hay on Sunday is here condemned in some very choice lines.

--> There is much more PIETY than POETRY in the following
stanzas:--And though the employment condemned, cannot occur for a
season at least, the MORAL inculcated we trust, will have a
tendency to prevent other breaches of Holy Time.

_THE PIOUS FARMER._

SHOULD it rain all the week and the Sundays prove fine,
Though others make hay, yet I'll not work at mine;
For, I don't think, for my part, such sun-shine was given,
Us mortals to lure from the path-way to heaven.

Some to work on the Sabbath will make a pretence,
