A foreigner working a New Jersey farm in explaining iiow lie got together money enough to buy it said : We sell' every ting to bring de cash ; what won’t sell, we feed de bosses ; what de bosses don’t eat, we feed de cows; what de cows don’t eat, we feed de sheep; what de sheep don’t eat we feed de pigs ; what de pigs don’t eat, we feed ourselves.” This is an exaggerated statement of course, but it illustrates a principle too often followed selling the. good and eating the poor.

Sir, — Allow me through the medium of your instructive journal to make a few remarks on a subject of vital importance. lam not going to enter into a religious controversy or attempt to settle any theological disputes, but I am surprised to find silence reign at a time anarchy and inconsistency are raising their perfidious head, detrimental to those who favour their fanatical delusions. I believe not in denunciations nor condemnations. lam not opposed to sprinkling of water, nor immersion as outward and visible signs which may lead to inward and spiritual grace, but I am opposed to a class of men who object to a portion of the Lord’s prayer, and speak lightly of some of the ten commandments. Now, whatever be the aim and objedt of those men, I cannot imagine. If they intend to emulate Mppdy and Sankey in notoriety and popularity, they are woefully mistaken, and are more, liable to bring religion into contempt by their uncharitable remarks on other Christian denominations. It is to be hoped the inhabitants of Waverley have seen sufficient of the fruits of their mission. If lunacy and remission of industry are .blessings patronise those strange preachers and their most strange doctrine ; but if they are not . Forbid it heaven ; forbid it all Who answer to religion’s call That false teachers should appear Men who have no business here May their influence have no sway By turning hearts from God away. Remember whilst the Enemy is without the camp your peace is secure ; but should he once obtain possession of the citadel your destruction is inevitable.— Yours, &c., TRADESMEN’S BILLHEADS printed cheaply at the Mail Office. AYERLEY.—Mr Fookes will receive accounts and transact all business for the Mail. WHENUAKURA Agent of the Mail , the Schoolmaster, who will receive orders for Papers. Censorious.
