Phenix Gazette

A question, something like our Sunday Mail question, has lately occasioned considerable discussion in Liverpool among the rail road directors, with respect to travelling on the rail road between that city and Manchester on Sunday. One party was against travelling altogether on that day, and another in favor of it without any restrictions; but a third with deference between their consciences and their pockets, declare it is very wrong to travel on the Lord's day, but that nevertheless the carriages should be run for the accommodation of those only who journey from necessity. As that word necessity is one of large import, and it would not always be very easy to ascertain a man's motive for desiring to travel, the conscientious party at last agreed that the coaches might be run on Sunday out of church hours. Verily, this conscience is a convenient scarecrow.—N. Y. Post.
