CORRESPONDENCE.
*•* We are desirous of affording every reasonable facility for the discussion of public subjects; but it must oe understood that we are in no way responsible for the opinions expressed by correspondents. To the Edixos of the Nelson Evening Mail. Sib, — I have never known any people so kind bo charitable, bo willing to relieve mibfortune and distress as the peope of Nelson; and I believe that among your many readers, some will be glad that an opportunity of doing good Is now presented to them. In St Vincent-street, Toi-toi Valley, is a family of children. Their mother is dead, their father is away; they are ragged, dirty, perhaps hungry, utterly without education, uncared for in the midst of all manner of temptation. They are young, and might yet be led into a good life; but a little longer neglect, and they will go to inevitable loss and ruin. Let not this, most miserable of all destruction, be laid to our charge; but let us in this, as in all things, remember the example of Him, who, when little children were brought to him, " took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them." It is He who! now sends these poor orphan children to us.— l am, &c.; A.
