(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sic, —" Yindex "is a perfect paragon of politeness and courtesy. He has good liaturediy applied the soubriquet of " clowa'' to me. In answer to Vindex's imputations, lam a Good Templar; and am as much a disgrace to the order, as he is to the public, In my first letter I drew attention to the position Mr Speight had taken up in leaguing himself with a band of Irishmen, whose only aim._ is self aggrandisement, on; the pretext of patriotism blazoned forth on their manifestos. I think that on mature consideration Mr Speight will see the lolly of taking such,a course as he has done. In farther reply to Vindex, my home is a haven of rest, and not the abode of woe. The only drawbacks to my comfort are master juvenile Templar, who occasionally; endeavours to gouge my eyes out with a fork ; and Vindex, who while moralising on my ignorance of his French quotation (whicb, somehow, I hare seen before) the virulence of a hyena. I think " Vindex " is quite as inconsistent as myself, us he tells me " let.■ do unto others as I would be done by," then acts upon the precept by calling me a clown and a disgrace. Ta, ta, "Vindex" go home and mind the baby, us I hear your profession is that of a monthly nurse.—l am &c, , Good Templab.
