DANGERS AHEAD.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — Mrs Beeaut, in her grand lecture on “ Dangers Which Threaten Society,” mentioned tho case of the poor match girls in Bryant and May's factory only receiving 2a 6d per week, and I nay ull honour to her for bringing about a better state of things. But perhaps it would sue p:i >e that lady to know that many cf the poi-r gids in this colony have to work for 5.1 psr day less than the sum she named for tho first six or twelve months, and when it cornea to giving 2s 6d per week, tho girls are often put on holidays, and yet the girls are educated up to their wants. Would that we bad some one here to plead our young girls' cause.—l r.m, > 1 !Oli 177 J” UR ’.
