tion. The Courier will not sdmit the charitable
hypothesis Of one Of your New-York papers which
first called attention to the Horrible Sentiments 3"
bad expressed in one Of my letters from Niagara,
that they had escaped your editorial obseryation-
as If aDything ever did If coined the mischief,
it wasyou that deliberately uttered and gave it
tolerably large circulation you are just as bad
as /. The damnable heresy with which The Con-
rier appalled, the breakfast tables Of the halfdozen
old women that constitute its public, amounts to
this: If boy is contented with the school where
his father has placed him, and expresses his willing
Dess to stay out his time there, without spending

is an introduction abiding patiently the time that
he is to enter it, and II he do the duties Of the
school az he can gather them, because they are its
duties, and without an eye to future and contingent
plumb-cake, he is a naughty child and is to be
whipped instead Of commended. If 50, / am

But suppose, instead of such boy as this, there
were an aged female who has lived to the

BILE sentiments, what shall we say Of her King
Beddle once said, and said well, that truths
might be 50 arranged to make lie. And it looks
to my unsophisticated mind very much as if this
were q of the sort, or something very like it.
If it be, she must not expect TO escape whipping
any more than the little boy in question, because OF
her age and infrinlties. However old, and tooth
less, and mumbng, and paralytic, and though
long supported on crutches supplied by other
people rod is most assuredly in pickle for her too
unless she repent and reform. Let her remember
the fate Of the Duenna of the Duchess i'll Don
Quixote, and the rouncing she got for her gossip
ping for all her years and her Office. | believe
there is something said, high authority, of avery
unpleasant lake in which the lot of certain class
Of sinners is appointed. l trust our aged friend
will keep clear Of it, remembering what Dr. Watts
said touching the possibility of return before the
lamp goes out. beg your grandmaternal cotem-
porary whose name have forgotten, who first
stirred this matter will regard this exhOrtaton
equally applicable to herself, and bay it TO heart ac-
cOrdingy.
Boston folks are, to proverb, full of notions"
And don't think they ever took tunDer one (not
even their comic certainty of Mr. Wcbster's noml-
nation and of Mr.. Appletons eection) than that OF
setting The Courier to keep back the tide of opinion
with its poor old mOp-stick. 1t has always been
rickety roken-backed, tumbledown affair, edito-
rally and politically, and if not much belied fnan-
cally too going on from bad to worse ever since
worthy Mr.. Buckingham gave it up. At the last
gasp it was purchased by certain wealthy gentle
men of the genus Hunker, as their organ.
These worthy persons, it is understood, have
put capital into the concern and employ
clever writers of leading articles-nen who
really could write well if they had anything to
say and were permitted to say tin the hope OF
saving the Union and staying the progress Of fanati-
csm generally by furnishing Themselves with pa
per to read at breakfast-tme. l do not always see
it, but assure you have seen some very pretty
writing in it, such as would have done credit to the
First Scholar of any Sophomore Glass in the coun-
try. The latter might, perhaps, throw little more
spirit into his themes; but he could not write more
dramatically er balance his sentelces better or
make his periods more rOtund. - There s something
very comica in this datttante Union-savng in white
