(To the Editor of the Erening Star.)

'• Sib,—Be that delectable letter in your Saturday's issne. Some people, it is evident, seem to delight in exposing their spi^eiHatTd^Meir folly. I don'fc4rnow but; ; ;:what/itils''good'bcpa>ioaaHy.;{br''th'ejoii^«.'.''.' nals to allow them to do so. Vln the long run it may tend to the reformation of such writers—l hope it will doLfsb.in: this case. I kncrw; not if ihe old adage, ■!* The grey mare is the better horse," holds^good on this occasion; bat it seems strange, at first sight that the wife should take up the cudgels of her husband, and fire away—• at what ? That is the tub. How can wo wonder at the letters of husband and wife when we take all things into considera* tion ? when we find them associated with a people who rejoice above all things in the endless fire and brimstone theory. People may generally ba judged i by the company -.they, keep, and I don't think: the war army very good company, at any rate; my views are pretty well known on that score. As to the charges made against me, those who know me well will take them^fortwJtatt^: they are worth and pass them byy^lpili;fe too much respect -fo»y.jth^,wxK.tb^|oit:^modest retiring females, either; by ifo^p or. deed, and, too much wisdom to bklcißi^jt;'* r any notice of brazen faced % War :Cry)"i;v vendors,by whoml have been ihiultedmort thaa once. The boot is therefore on IMIvK other, foot. They well know that nothing for their clap trap journal, so they should not persist in badgering .me with their rubbish; but if they will persist in doing so they must expect a rebuke, and they will get it. These girls had better by far beat home, and in bed, at reason* able hours, than be running the streets at night selling clap trap literature. Just a word about Mr; Neil. I heard his lecture,: upon Salrationism, and an excellent one it was; to the point in every particular, and 4. a thorough exposure, out of their "bwil,? books, of this barbarous religious system, the war Army. Mr; JNeil is quite able to answer for himself, if he thinksi it: worthS : his while to do ao. I don't, ho weTer* sup»V, pose, that he. will. cire a.j straw fo^> the-1 threats of either gentleman Eecldish or lady Eeddish. Your' f--Vemarks,-' 'iidt^^ Editor, on the whole are to the point, arid yery good indeed ;;I hope all will profit* by^ them. In conclusion, if the' Reddishes wish to air their eloquence again. thei best medium: they^ can .adopt is thft , " War Cry," their own delectable journal. ~I am, &c, :,;:> v ; -.v:.-':'-:^;;;^:;^.^/-.:-'^,-:^^'•', ■: ::'-;'.. ■•■;: ■ •,; 'I r)r ■ .•,_;' - : ;.. ■;.':.
