CHESS PLAYING.

The New York Courier does not agree with
those religious journals which have been
arguing that Chess playing is waste of
time 1t says:
"Of course Chess, like every other good
thing, may be abused: but nevertheless il is.
and we believe ever will be, the very prince
of sedentary games. There is no game like
it for discplining the minds of young men.
We sometimes think that some kind divinity
specially invented it for that purpose, as
Ceres gave corn, and Minerva the olive
First, it is a powerful exercise for the mind
Indeed Lord Bacon censured it as too wise
a game 1t calls out every faculty of the
mind just as gymnastics exert every mus
Gle of the body. 1t demands concentration,
thus, strengthening the power of abstraction
from surrounding objects. 1t requires fore
sight, for in fact success in it wholly lies in
directing your own moves towards definite
object, and at the same time, penetrating
the intentions of your adversary. 1t imposes
vigilance; the slightest oversight oft-times
proves your ruin. 1t inculcates patience;
restlessncss is al objectionable sin in the
morals of Chess 1t evokes the power of
rapid and long-sighted combination; to
perfect mastery of the difficult art of select
ing and occupying a commanding position,
the successful Chess-player must add tho
rough knowledge of all the many and COM
plicated varieties Of statagems and snares,
which he is alternately called upon to invent
and put into practice-to see through and
defeat. In fact, it would be hard to name
IA faculty or quality which man needs for
practical success in life, that is not genally
cherished by this noble game. So highly did
the distinguished barrister, Samuel Warren.
think of it rs an exercise for those who are
training for legal honors, that he specifically
recommends it in his Introduction to the
Study Of the Law" And yet it is none the
less a recreation Even well-worked minds
find in it positive refreshment.
The poet Cowper directed . passage of his
charming poetry against Chess. He asks
Who then that has mind wsll-strusg and tuned
To contemplation,
Would waste attention at the chequersd board.
His host of wooden warriors to and fro
Marching and countermarchng, ETC., etc.
1t is our opinion that good stiff game of
Chess every morning would have been
thousand times better for his minds health
than the morbid fancies and fears he was
accumstomed to let it feed on. But after all
it is only to the young mind, yet in the way
of education, that we would particularly re-
commend Chess Men engaged in the stir
ring duties of life, may do comfortably
without recreation; but young people will
have it, and if not in one form then in
another

Scornful OF the shadow.
"Come with me" whispered he,
Listen sweet, to love and reason"

Loves not in season."
Years went, years came;
Light mixed with shadow;
Love met the maid again,
Dreaming through the meadow.
"NOt so coy" urged the boy:
List in time To love and reason"

.'Love's still in season"
Years went, years came;

Love saw the maid again,
Waiting in the meadow.
