THELILY OF THE FOREST LAKES.

In the northern lakes, the w0odman urges
his light skif sometimes through acres Of
lily-pods which, iu them season, bear up the
most beautiful and fragrant blossoms. The
air is redolent The water-suriacc Is mot
tied with the pcaTlie-t gems For moment
after his canoe has passed, a tiny wake can
be traced, as the broad fiat leaves have bow

from their bath, to their wontcd place
When the spring irc>hcts come. or the swell
OF the sudden sWumCr ram has raised the

beauties of vegetation rise with the rising
tide. When the storm comes laundering
down from the mountains, aud the bIlIOYs
toss, and WhIlc-cap> sparkle, still these
broad, shield like leaves, float and warp and
undulate, bat cannot be submerged. Why?
There is long, fine filamont which stretches
downward through the depts and m0ors

roots hold them with a grasp which will suf

Emblem of the Christian. Thus rides he
upon the rolling billOws OF life. Storms OF
sorrow and afiliction cannot submerge him,
for he is saved by his ever buoyant hope.
The tide of passion may swell around him,
but he will ever surmount it, for the cord
which binds him to the hidden rock has the
elasticity Of love" which 'suhereth all
things, and Is kind. - Worldly eyes cannot
discover that golden band which moors him
to eternal truth and goodness; but its hold
is firm, its strength invinciblc. His way of
life is above. Drive through it the sharp

PHYSICAL EAERCISE.

The Westminster ltu.ctte dcclaims against
too much physical exercise, and expresses
the opinion that physical development is
very liable to be carried too far. 1t says:
"Of course it is very grand thing to be
able to maintain one 5 rights against half a
dozen coal hcavers, or figure as the cham
pion Of injured responsibility against inso-
lent black -guardism, as Sir Robert Clifton
did littlc time back in the public streets.
But these are exceptional cases, and few
men can be pointed cut who arc distinguish
ed both as pugilIstS and scholars. But the
greatest and most dangerous abuse, and one
that ought most SCdu0usi ~ to be discouraged
among young men, Is that technically known
as training. Who cannot appreciate the
indignant periods Of the ancIents when they
descry the insane disG plinc ofeycrcn thuslas-
tic athletic? Then a now they studied to
bring their bodies 20 premature perfection,
at the expense Of both mind and body for
the remainder of their lives. Those who
have gone through the scycrcst training be-
come in the end dull, listless and stupid,
subject to numerous diseases, and in many
instances the ultimate victims Of gluttony
and drunkenness. Their unnatural vigor
seldom lasts more than five years. 1t was
especially remarked by the Greeks that no
one who in boyhood won the prize at the
Olympic games ever distinguished himself
afterward. The three years Immediately
preceding seventeen are years fgreat men
tai development, and nature cannot at the
same time endure any severe taxing Of the
physical constitution, Prudence therefore,
especially at this critical period Of life, must
ever go hand in hand wish yigor, for the
evils Of excess outweigh by far the evils of
deficiency But as long as due bounds are
preserved, athletic sports may ever be hail
ed as the best friends Of mind and body
The Duke of Wellington is reported to have
said, when he was looking on at cricket
match, that as long as these were the sports
of Englishmen, they need never fear inva-
sion. TO this we think we may add a more
powerful encouragement, for we sincerely
believe that as long as athletic sports hold
their proper place in our educational estab-
lishmcnts, we need never fear the invasion
of degeneracy nor the tyranny ofignorance. :"

NEW YORK, July Is, 1867.
E3ttor ot Ute Baaner, Hazoo, Mss:
SIR: | see in the New York Herald OF
Tn day an extract fiom your paper of the
9TH inst, in which you have, in your oppo-
oltIon to certain letters written by gentlemen
Of the South, thought proper to use very
dlsreapectiul language about your superioTs.
from the style in which you speak | Judge
you TO have been one Of those miserable,
dirty dogs who published an eight-by-ten
sheet during the war for no earthly purpose
but to avoid conscriptIOn, and who to cover
up their own c0Wardicc tried to, and in some
instances did, break down some ofthc purest
and noblest men in the Confedcracy. Prob
ably some Of Albert Sidney Johnson's blood
Is on your hands, ana you may be one of the
hounds that barked at Joseph +. johnson,
and it may be, if your paper had strength
enough and was published to the end Of the
Conlederacy that many of cur mournfuJ
mishaps can be partially attributed to your
meanness. You should have started earlier,
lyr,,,,r ,,,l-,.1l IL,
brayed more dangers, and surrendered with
more regret than either of the gentlemen
you name before you should have presumed
to have written such an article. ] cannot
for an instant imagine you to have been a
soldier, and suppose you must be broken
down politician, an :old dog or little
pup; and therefore, | will let you pass
until ! return South, when | will inquire
into your antcccdents, aud if you are worthy
OF notice will teach you better manners.
NJ. JEFF THOMPSON, of New Orleans.
