MR COLLINS IS REPLY.

10 THE EDITOR. Sir,— Allow me to inform Mr Hardley tbat I did not attafck anyone's creed, but simply called attention to what I thought to be the use of more than a mild zephyr for the purposes of bringing up a very small ship. I wou'd also thank him for the Interest he takes m my welfare, and as one good turn deserves another let me point oat to him that there are maoy danger signals along life's pathway whton for want of a capacity of discernment man do not see, and so sooner or later they come to grief, Oolor-blindness is a serious affllctiun, and disqualifies many a man from being able to judge correotly. To be able to ccc black, green, sky blue, and turkey red only aa one color and of the lame degree is a calamity ; therefore I say to Mr ETartiley beware ! Crowded ball, crowded vestibule, rcand of applause and snoh like expressions are surely of j very high tone when used m reference to , what took place at the Grange Hall. , With reaped to " Fair Play." Thle , expression conveys to one's mind tbe idea ] of a principle that 1b both grand and true. , It ii a principle which 1b bora of the light and never seeks to hide its head There- j fore *' Fair Play " should sign his name ; and not hide himself m the darknesPi I am, etc , W.
