The weather was cloudy and cold yester-

THE SKATING SEASON.

An exchange essays to deal at length
upon the fashionable brilliancy and icy
allurements of skating parks, and to add
few excellent hints touching the bene-
fits to be derived from, and the injury to
be Stunned, in the enjoyment of this
most invigorating sport. "The fashion
magazines" says the writer, lay down
strict laws for the regulation of skating
costumes. Brilliant colors generally pre-
vail. Downy feathers, flashing ribbons,
starry balmorals, tasseled polish-boots,
warm colored furs, and candy-tinted hoods
fill up the picture of feminine skater,
while fur collars and wristlets, with Rus
sian caps and Scotch plaids, are the pre-
vailins costumes of the sturdy sex Com
fort and health, as we'll as appearance,
should be considered. While skating,
burdensome clothing should be laid aside,
and Immediately resumed at the conclus-
ion Of the icy recreation. No one should
stand on the ice or sit down by the side
of the pond for any length of time while
warm. Neither should ladies unaccus-
toned to the exercise remain too long on
the ice. Skate little every day for too
much skating on one day insures illness
the next. The disregard of these simple
suggestions has been the cause of great
amount Of sickness since skating became
an almost universal recreation. But skat-
ing, rightly enjoyed, brings health,
strength, beauty, and good spirits.

Away, far back o'er the gloomy hills,
Der which I've stumbled, Ilook for light
But only transient and sickly gleam
Breaks the dark veil Of the sombre night.
By it see the rough pathway I've trod,
With its scattered land marks, ghost.ike and dim;
And pitfalls, and crags I've passed in the dark,
Yawn and topple, ali ghastly and grim.
Sometimes I've yearned, in my lonely hours,
To travel that weary pathway again;
But now, when gaze DER those gloomy hills,
My longing is quenched in bitter pain.
For besides that pathway of danger and toll,
Is the clear, bright way that MIGHT HAVE TRoD;
The way for which I've SO blindly groped-
OH why have missed it, my Saviour, my God !
And oh the pathway is darker here,
Than that which winds DER the gloomy hills;
The darkness closes-a solid wall
My feet it palsias-my heart it chills.

And lol the darkness is cleft away;
Up, DER the everlasting hills,
Winds pathway brighter than day.
