DOCTOR MARTIN.
“ How are the mighty fallen f We have no desire to crush a fallen foe.—lt was our intention to have gone seriatum through ill the Editor of the Cross's promises to pay. If he has been stung we are sorry tor him, he has himself only to blame, he provoked it by his cowardly, unmanly, and unjustifiable attack upon Mr. Clendon. The Doctor forgot ice knew him before he made his first appearance on t,he Auckland stage. We now copy the following from the Cross of Saturday last:— if Debt— Every hour that a man is in debt is a year spent in slavery. Your creditor is vour master ; it matters not whether a kind or a severe one, the sens© of obligation you incur saps the feeling of manly independence, which is the first ebarrn of youth ; and believe me, it is always through the rents in moral feeling that our happiness oozes out quickest,” In pity to his fallen state we now spare him. We have taught him a lesson he will not lightly forget. We will not trample even on a prostrate enemy, but let him beware, ihe forbearance which we now in mercy extend to him, will only redouble our castigation should he offend tgaiu. No doubt he will take the hint. A word to to the wise, &e.’ , J. M.
