Ii has been observed on this lake, that the
water is lowest in spring and highest in au-
tumn. This is readily explained by the fact
that in winter most Of the ordinary supplies
of the water from the drainage Of the sur
rounding country, are cut off by being con-
verted into ice and snow, while evaporation
from the surface of the lake by the dry
northern winds continues TO carry away
very sensible quantity Of water. During the
spring and early part of the summer the
snow and ice melt. and the accumulated
stores of winter flow into the lake in greater
quantity than to compensate for the evapo-
ration and drainage at the outlet. The
summer of 1916 was remarkably dry and
warm; that of ls47 more than usually cold
and wet. A small canal was cut some years

question may be libelous, and yet 10 more
than asking you whether you have been to
France. Heretofore, the latter was AN adj
venture, and a remarkable one in our histo-
ry, and scarcely less so was the former, for

were few and bathing was expensive like

LIFE IN ENGLAND.
THE GIPSEY'S WIFE.


LAVE in an old tumble-down house, not
a great mani miles from London, and on
the borders of furry common. Before the
age of steam locomoton this was consider
ed the country and even now, there is one
solitary spot, where, from messy knobs rls-
ing beneath clumps Of antique trees, we
overlook a perfectly retired and sylvan
scene. A sparkling stream, like a silver
thread, winds its way amid rich pasture
land and thick beech plantations an ivyed
spire, furnished with a peal of soft musical
bells, peeps forth from a distant village
and in the summer evening time it is pleas
ant to rest on those messy knobs, and listen
TO the sad distant music.
The ruins of an old church may be trac-
ed from this point; wild roses and eglan.
tine are around us, with violets and blue
bells sweet honey suckle porch is seen
leading to lowy matched hut and there
are lowing kline and bleating flocks by ouI
side and in the distance. In this there is
nothing wonderful; but only turn back moi
many hundred yards, and seek another
point, from whence to view very different
and more widely-extended panorama-the
vast wilderness Of London, st. Paul's, West
minister Abbey, hosts of steeples, myriad'
of chimneys, armies of masts and shipping
clustering on the almost choked-up ant
hidden river, good old Thames; in fine
smoke, fog and misery, without end Seer

bath is equally serviccable at all periods of
the day-morning, noon, or evening and
those persons whose engagements are i'm
perative, during what are called business
hours, must not plead "the fear of taking
cold AFTER" as an excuse for the omission.
Indeed the apprehension of taking cold
(Which prevails to a popular degrce) after
a warm bath, under any circumstances, is
quite erroneous; for in fact, instead of pre-
disposiDg person to a catarrh, or a rhcu-
matte attack, or, in plain language, cold,
the bath absolutely helps to keep one or
either of the others off. The absolute CT
feet of hot bath is, that it stimulates, a.
rouscs, and keeps up the circulation, thereby
difiusing warmth throughout the frame.
which renders it invulneraDle TO the dread
cd evil and if a man do not suffer that tx-
element to subside and do not linger about
in the cold or damp air, but proceeds brisk
ly on his way, he will derive the double
benefit of feeling stronger and better, if
possible, than before, and of enjoying the
refreshment of the immersion. bath may
be taken safely in the " bitterest" and cold
est weather. Foggy, and damp, and wet
DAYS are least favorable for the indulgence
In the summer the bath is most essential for
the skin; having double duty to perform, it
urgently requires to be kept clearly, lest
any obstruction to the persplration should
cnsuc. If the bath be wanted for a specilic
purpose, and the illness be one of uncertain
ty, or beyond the comprehension of the in
valid, medical opinion had better be had :;
but | am not speaking &C FIRE prospectively,"
for, invaluable as professional guidance
must be admitted to be, ON every OCCASION
especially if it be good, | am an advocate
that common sense should tell, not only
"when to run for the DOCTOR" but when to
do without him, and, therefore, must leave
my readers to discriminate for themselves.
Great as the pleasure, delight, aud salubrity
of warm bathing is, there is a time and sea-
son for all things. | have observed, that,
for cleanliness, and comfort and health, Il
warm bath may be taken once week. or
once fortnight ut least, but for special
purposes, one may be taken daily for a time,
or twice or thrice a week but the practice
must not degenerate into such frequency as
to cnervatc and enleeble, which like any
other practice carried to excess, it will do
All that ] can add is, that the warm bath is
a most excellent adjunct in the restoration
and maintenance of health 1t rarely dsa-
grees but its services are manifold, and
the introduction of baths for the poor is a
noble national donation, and will, doubtless
", tend to the extension of the practice of
ablution: for cleanliness is speaking adj
vertlsement and carries with it the COM
forts, agreeable feelings, and permanent
health, which warm bathing can so effect

Anti-Slavery Feeling in Virginia.

The Richmond SOutherncr, by no means
an Abolition paper, holds the following lan-
guage in relation to public sentiment in Vir-
gina on the subject of Slavery:
1t is not generally known, yet it is new
ertheless true, that two-thirds of the people
of Virginia are open and undisguised adyo-
Gates of Kidding the State Of Slavery; and,
after the year 1850, when the census is Ia
ken, their views will be embodied in such
form as to startle the South. We speak
Understandings. We have, within the last
two years, conversed with more than five
hundred shareholders in the State; and
four hundred and fifty out of the five hun
dred expressed themselves ready to unite
on any general plan to abolish Slavery upon
almost any terms. Abolition fanaticsm at
the North has not produced this, but the
annexation of Texas and the acquisition of
territory have done it. Virginia may be
put down as no longer reliable on this ques-
ton. When she goes, the District of Co
lumbia is free territory; then Delaware and
Maryland will also go. and North Carolina
and Kentucky will follow suit. This will
surround the extreme South with Free
States; and when that day comes, and il
will not be very long, we would Just as lief
own parcel of wild turkeys as so many
slaves. We may continue this subject in
our next; certainly, we shall farther con-
slider it,"
"Abolition fanaticism" may not have
produced this condition of public sentiment
in Virginia; but calm and free discussion
of the subject Of Slavery, in the Free States,
has had much TO do with producing lt.--N.
