Notice to Correspondents.
Onb who abhok 5 ? Phovincialt3m.— You will pprceive that the telegrams pnblisliel in an<ther column, receding the politic-il situation at Wellington, have taken the wiud out of your Si.is. '\ he course you suggest in your letter is therefore no louse- necessary. A.X.X. —This lady who*© divine ajjlalus has alroa >y created s>»me soiv^ntim in literary circles in this district, is ob.Uirate. We expri»«se*i a wish rome time &uo that she would be good enough to favor U 3 with her name. She now rep' ies: "' Wl.at's in a name? A to c by any other name woul.l smell as ■ tweet,' let modesty plead thi? time. Somp time in the mystio figure your request will be complied wish." Now we maintain that thi* is rank prudery, it is \to-hp, it is li'erarr here-y. It is all v<r well to attempt to put us off with a beggarly haokrieyed quotation, but. here'i anot'ier — What rage for fame attends both great and small, Better be than be not namd at all.*' Out of consideration for the feeling* of our fair oontributor, we h«ve left a hiatiu in th« •eoond line of the. couplet. As to tha " myitic future," we presume the expression is one of thoie which licensed poets use when th«j mean some indefinite period, very c^o^eiy resembling "nerer." However, "A.XX," we shill tolerate your mystery a little longer, •nd publish yynrver3cs in our next.
