TO CORRESPONDENTS.
“ Fellow-Passenger.”—You are doubtless correct in saying that the late Mr Hebley arrived here in Juno, 1855. “ Country Bumpkin,” Otaki. Thanks for your letter, which, however, .we must decline. “ Ephraim is ' joined to hia idols; let him clone,” was the advico of > an ancient prophet; and it may very well be applied to the prohibitionworshippers of to-day. Neither criticism, reason, nor ridicule will avail to cure infatuation. Tho disease must run its course, and when a healthy tone ie restored, the people to whom you refer will marvel at their folly. You can hardly be blamed for being ‘.‘driven to drink ” by a recent public display of •' temperance ” oratory.
