THE SALVATION ARMY.

Sir,--I am not surprised at Xerxes replying to my
letter, indeed, truth to tell, I rather like it, for bring
myself rather an old party, I am hopeful that I shall
help Xerxes to persevere in, or else to conquer, hopeless,
love. It aes,ma that I hit the mark pretty straight.,
for although he traverses a good portion of my letter,
he did not, and I suppwe could not, deny the soft
impeachment. I certainly think that I arrived at a
correct version of Xerxes' first letter, further, I think
that any inipartial mind must arrive at a si 11l ilar con-
clusion, viz., that his words convey the idea (whether
he intended it or not is another thing( that le, was
