 MR. <EDFroR: Some months ago, a writer in the Derby Transcript brought three serious charges against me. Re cent light thrownon the articles. Heads me to try to repeat them
 First. I .'appropriated the signature of writer in the ''Litchfield Enquirer, '' so that he was driven to take another than the one he had been using for many years. Thinking it might be my friend whom I had thus unwittingly injured, I snquired of him at that time, and he simply bade me '.go on." He had previ- ously encouraged my articles in the En- quirer teffing me that they were ''needed in the community. and were doing good. !" He had also told me that he was not a correspondent of your paper and had, not been for long time. though some sup posed him to be- 7-.
 Secondly, Twas charged with deeming myself ''far too holy for this sin-polluted earth. Why. Dear Editor, is one neces- sarily pharasaical. because one reproves these sins of the community from which every individual in it suffsrs9 May not one be weeping in secret places over his own, all the while? But am willing if any body's good requires it. to shed mine 'sbetween the porch and the altar, or even in the newspapers! The publican went up to the temple to pray, when he had not anything to say but "God be merciful to me a sinner" lta
 But Thirdly. the worst charge of all; ''never had kind worn for human iv- ing" l comforted myself with the last two words of this libel. For thought my defamer meant that I had a kind word fora human dead! It is something to have credit even for that. But I shall not try to repeat this charge I will leave that in the hands of the poor and the tempted. The rich have enough to help them. Isuppose, without my ''kind word. " But I am truly the friend evep of the ''old man" whoever he may be, whether rich or poor.
 Lastly, Ignorance But the writer should have pitied, not exposed that. Did he not know that we are always to blame for it? Perhaps never had many advantages! T.
