Remarks.
We have given place TO the foregoing, IN order
to show what sort Of trials an Editors patience is
injected TO, and to add fair notice that we have
about done submitting TO such impositions. DR..
Cheoyer is responsible person. who generally IN
derstapds what he writes, and is therefore very
likely to know the meaning Of any criticism made
thcreupon. He has set forth bis views on the sub
ject Of our City's Vagrant Children and the means
Of improving their condition. put his name on the
ute-p page, su1 plainly invited criticism and I'M
provoment thereupon. Such criticism we have Of
fcred, also in a responsible manner We copied
tie more material portion Of DR. Cheevers Sermon
entire so as to preclude all plausible pretense OF
unfair resentation. His plan and our criticism
upon it are fairly before our readers and they know

know distinctly that he does it. But instead oil
that. a strictly anonymous Friend to Children
pitches into the mess, and in terms bespeaking ali
imperfect knowledge Of English or any other Ian
guage whereby thought is expressed, accuses US oi
representing bath rooms and ine-toothed combs as

to qualify him for such discussion as this into

We print this only to give fair notice that we
intend heuccdrth to permit no anonymous interPo-
