PURITAN BLUE LAWS.
Btatntca 80 Severe aa to Beem Ianpoe-
alble Were Enforced.
It la generally admitted, even by the
advocates of a sterner religion than is
usually professed In this twentieth cen
tury, that tbe Sabbath was made for
man, and thla Interpretation Includes
recreation In the Injunction to rest In
tbe days of Puritan dominion there Is
aa little doubt that the Idea prevailed
most effectually that man was made
for the Sabbath.
Thla religion of a people who be
lieved In taking literal Interpretations
of tbe Old Testament aa their guide In
the government of a country which
they had mlanamed the "land of the
free," reached the height of ita impos
sible demands at the middle of the sev
enteenth century. A statute framed in
Boston in 1063 regarding the penalties
for breaking the laws of Sunday ob
servance la the severest of any formed
before or since, and shows what a day
of dismal gloom thla day of rest must
have been.
In the days of the Puritans an ob
servance of Sunday meant an attend
ance at all the church meetings, and It
meant little else. Worship in the pub
He meeting house was compelled by
law. When the bell tolled out Ita sum
mons, all must go, willing or other
wise, and notwithstanding the dlfflcul
ties in tbe way of the Journey. This
often meant a tramp of many miles
over rough groand where one carried
his footgear In his hands.
At the time this severest of ail stat
utes was passed In Boston, no one
was allowed to go anywhere on Sun
day except to church, unless there was
some extraordinary need or the errand
was one of mercy. No one was per
mitted to go from one town to another
on that day or to enter any public
house for a drink. Guards were sta
tloned at the edge of town Saturday
night at aundown to see that no vehicle
passed either In or out of the city from
that time until the close of the follow
lng day, and labor of all sort was pro
biblted.
Even children were not allowed to
be seen In the street nor young men
and women to promenade. In fact, It
was because the worthy town officials
had heard of the grievous misdemea
nor of childish laughter in public high
ways, and had been informed that cer
tain young people had committed the
offense against Ood of walking In the
fields on the Lord's day, that the stat
ute regulatingg penalties for these
faults bad been enacted.
It was of no more avail to the of
fender of that early day to plead Ig
norance of the law than it is to-day.
Still, to make assurance doubly sure
that all inhabitants knew what these
Sunday laws were, ministers were re
quired to read them from in front of
tha meeting-house twice during the
year. Then woe to any one who chose
to Ignore them, for the hand of lnex
orable law, not tempered by mercy,
was upon him.
Parents were responsible for the
misdemeanors of children between the
ages of 7 and 14. Over that age they
were required to receive themselves
the penalty of their own misdoing. For
breaking any of these laws the first
time, the punishment was a severe
reprimand from the chief executive of
the town. If any daring child escaped
for a moment the family corral to
frolic upon the public highway, this
untoward action would not fail to
bring hla parents Into open disgrace.

The street fakers have many ingeni

wares, but it remained for a sales
man of the colored persuasion to give
a free concert as a means of attract-

The colored man sells watermelons
on these warm days great luscious
green things which are said to come
from Georgia and to be sweet clear to
tbe rind. Besides the watermelons, he
takes with him In the wagon three
very black pickaninnies with clear,
Bweet voices. The wagon drives into
a street, comes to a stop, and immer
dlately the voices of the quartette are
raised in an old plantation song, the
refrain of which is something about
