In the Roused Lords on Friday Lord Bury bavine called

To the iddor.
Sir,—ln your last isme appeared a Warr sipped
" Tiskeoue," and I think I cau ere in it the pen of a
ready writer, who often favours you with oontribu•
aim under another now—iie-plosio—commonting upon
a. Wade I "As resat nag the establishment of the
tiraeißibbon Army In Poole, and Its professional
aing !Meant, Mr. W. Soeth. That letter
requires butt itserbanswer at my heads. "Tishman*"
had PurPollol7 ci igaorsatly iguored the chief failure

in my "Ion: commentary" as he is plea.ed to call it.
I believe I said not one word against the cause of
Temperance per se, and therefore I shan't attempt to
gq into the figure* he qu des. I will let them for
as much as any reasoning person may think they ass
worth. One can prove anything wi.h figures. My
complaint in reference to the meetings held in
Poole was not as to the cause Booth advocated, but
th , way in which the emu did it. I salt in my
article, and I repeat it, that anyone abs osteetationaly
takes for his platform " Charity," to stied before
public sudirnce and vilify the dead m .n whoae kind-
uess when alive bad save.' bis then worthless life is
meats, coutemotihie, uncharitsble, sod dlasuottoir.
Lle seertrie nil nisi bosun. Mow much igr, when
be who had gone to the silent laud has done you Um
greatest Medina, you had ever experienced. Does
" DiskeLue " sympathies with such conduct. I hope
not; aol, sir, I think not, for he shirks that portion of
my article entirely.
" Tiakenue " entirely mis-quotes me when he says :
" Visitor wants to know where there is a man who ii
moved by a Christian motive, and not the IIIII“
desire to save the labour of his hands at the expense
of his laws." I said nothing of the kind. What I
said was, and I think "Dickson*" will acknewledge it
—1 have not the article before me—show me such a
EMU and I am with him. A very different thing to
the morbid disbelief in everything good which
I ••Tiskeous " imputes to me.
Again, I am quite aware children have semis to be
sawed as well as their elders, but to see little kitte—
n:ease the vulgarism, air, who have scarcely robe.
qtdahed their feeling bottle, ninnies about the streets
with bits of blue ribbon, and paraded to those who
chose to swallow it as so many "persons who have
taken the pledge," is, I say, another bit of humbug. on
• per with Harnum'e assertion that 00,001 wouldn't
bay back Jumbo.
Tiskentue's " sneer at my unconverted state—of
sparse he knows 1-1 pass by, except to add that from
my experience of some professed converts I prefer the
role of the Publican to that of the Pharisee.
