IN REPLY TO SACRED AND PROFANE.

To the Editor,

Sib, I was surprised to sbb in your last issue a letter signed "The Paper Boy," in which the writer draws a most peculiar and narrow-minded conclusion, I should strongly advise the "Paper Boy" to be a little less hasty before lie again commits his little views to the admiring inhabitants of the Wairarapa, If lie had not been in such a desperate hurry to rush into print, he might perhaps, have seen his way to making out a better case, or better still, he might have shown that ho had a little sense by passing the matter over in silence. It- appears that "The Paper Boy" heard a voice singing a hymn, and then addressing a dog in an improper manner, From this circumstance he closes his remarkable letter by asking If here then is the morality of which people so often boast f' Eeally sir, 1' thins that, the writer of that letter ij insulting the paper boys in this town by taking the liberty he has with their name, lam sure that no paper log wrote that letter, for. paper, boys have ttw much sense to ventilate-such a ridiculous argument. , " The Papei Boy" will be saying next, 1 supposo, that there is no such thing-as true religion because street boys sing hymns one minute and the next swear. Ido not say that it was a street boy whom lie heaid, but there are plenty of men who are quite capable of actin" in the way ho describes, without even pretending to be moral men,

lami'c., Not The Pafe'r Boy, [This [correspondence must now close.—Ed. W.D,] ■■
