Private Correspondence.

I'rrc anil I'ar. With most writers, there is a studied formality a coldness and stiffness, in their public communications, that thev sometimes throw away in their private correspondence. Generally in private letters of confidence, there is an ease and freedom of expression, that we are often tempted t betray our friends, and introduce them to tha public before they have their faces washed. The following extracts from a private letter, received last week, by the editor, contains so
