" To the Editor OF the New York Times
It wish to correct some Of the mistakes in
the letter which was published in the World
San, etc. on Wednesday, as coming from
Gov. Hayes Secretary:
81. Gov. Hayes never was a member of the
American Alliance.
80. He never saw the constitution or by
laws of the organization.
"3. No committee of this order ever, at any
time, called on him, either at Columbus, Phil
adelphia, or any other place, for any pur-
pose.
1--WE simply notified HIM by letter that we
Endorsed his nomination, in answer to which
wa received the letter from his Secretary.
That letter was taken from my office, and
was as much surprised as any one can be to
see it in print. | am at loss to see why those
papers should find any fault with the proceed
ings, as we Endorsed Mr.. Tilden for Governor
two years ago, and he found no fault with it,
but, on the contrary, was very grateful for the
assistance, only he requested that it might be
Kept secret, as if it should become public he
feared he might lose the foreign vote. Re-

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Madam wren's breakfast.

Madam Wren's Breakfast.
A lady Bug slept all night IN rose,
And when she awoke from her repose
she put on her spotted scarlet clothes,
And stepped to the door to see
What it could be that smelIed 80 sweet,
But the leaves looked wet for her small, bare fee
So she halted and said, pll let the heat
Dry of path for me-"
Shifting the fragrant air she stood,
About as large as drop of blood,
When, roaming about the neighborhood,
a wren came by that way,
whish of WINGS and tiny and prim,
He peTched himself on briar limb,
In morning suit of stylish trim,
Neat-htting, sober gray.
He spied the little vermilion speck
And Jurned and curved his curious neck,
And thought, q What vulgar thing to deck
Itself in such bright red !"
And then, in most complacent tone,
- My little wife was never known
To put such flaming garment on"
Nodding his Quaker head.
Then sudden thought possessed him quite,
" My wife has a dainty appetite;
From brooding her eggs all day and night,
A tit-bit this will be-"
And he caught the bug with dip and q veer,
And away to his nest he flew. "My dear,
was out just nov, and have brought you here
wild red strawberry.
She was taking her usual morning wink;
She opened her eyes with sleepy blink,
Poor Lady Bug, not chance to think
Or breathe was left her then.
A dainty snap OF the bill-a sigh
. Twas bug and 0t strawberry y
Was the drowsy, critical reply
OF the little Madam Wren.
So the innocent Lady Bug never knew
When the sun from her path dried off the dew,
Nor how she had passed in cold review
AS she stood at the door of the rose.
And Mr.. Wren, in his all-day's quest
For food to carry home to his nest,
Forgot how the vulgar bug was dressed
In spotted scarlet clothes.
