WAsTEruLNEss.--W Whoever should burn ,
candles an hour or two in the morning, after
he light of the sun had made them unne
cessary, would be thought wasteful indeed.
But do they not do the same thing who burn
candles so late at night that they waste an
hour or two of sunlight in bed, in The morn
ing? They do for, besides the waste
of candles, an hour in the morning is worth
two in the evening.

To as many of The readers Of the Iele-
graph as read TIE lNiddlebury Peoples
Press:
A few words may be necessary from me
at this time, lest my silence be construed in
to an acquiescence in the business of recent
attacks Of the Peoples Press on me-which
attacks are most nefarious and vile-full Of
| foul calumny anu wicked Misrepresentation,
as usual. In giving them the least possible
notice, will not address single word 10
their author, it being we'll known that |
have long since lost all confidence 10 his IN
tegrity and moral honesty.
His last attack takes up my treatment OF
Daniel Rol0ley. In addition to my former
statement, that D. Rowley told me in person
that he found no faul; with my first two no.
tees, will say, for the satisfaction of those
! now address, that he has not yet expressed
10 me any want Of satisfaction in regard &c
the third and last, since my last notice was
given. Suffice it to add on this point, that
when be was here, | told him the columns
CT the Telegraph were, and would be, oper
to him, if what l should say should in any
way be Unsatisfactory to him. r.
If, in future, the wanton and nlalignan
attacks of hireling prints are allowed TO pas
unnoticed, trust shall be excused.
