Our Lakes.

Apropos Of our lakes, a correspon-
dent of the New York Sun sends a
very cnticing picture to that jour
nal:
The air is magical and man is hap
py. Every day is inspiring and the
delight of nothing to do perfect.
The thermometer averages from fifty
to sixty degrees, and thi sfor six days
between Buffalo and Duluth. Ofall
the lakes, Huron presents the grand
est waterscapes, Superior the noblest
shores and most beautiful islands.
In Superior the genuine brook
trout is taken about the rocks on
the shores, where the water is ten
feet deep or more. This is made
possible by the coldness of the water.
Its temperature never rises much
above that Of ice water in any part
of the lake. Experienced anglers
have taken there trout weighing six
and seven pounds. They are caught
with bait only, and will not rise to Q
fly. This, We repeat, is the speckled
brook trout. That lordly fish is ta
ken by trolling, and is often of tn,
weight Of thirty to forty pounds.
Running the rapids of the Saul
st. Marie with Indians, in birch
bark canoe, is an Orthodox pleasure
and much commended. 1t is brief
and there is no danger in it. La
dies may try it with entire conf
dence.
The finest scenery is about Thun.
der Bay, on the British shore of Su.
perior. Thunder Cape, a precipit-
Gus cliff of red rock, thirteen hun.
dred feet high, and a mile and a
half long, stands on the eastern side
ofthe entrance, while numbers of is.
lands, some lofty and llat-roofed,
others low and round; and all of them
wooded, are scattered along east
ward. The outline of Thunder Cape
is superb, though it is tempered and
fringed with trees that break the lev
el of it's long summit. At evening
its beauty is indescribable. The set.
ting sun flooded the mountain and
the islands with golden light such as
Clifford loves to paint, and the
clouds and sky overhead were suct
that none but Turner could attempt
Such a deluge of glory! The gray
expanse of water and the purple
shadowed sides of hills and islands
darkening as the day faded into the
solemn twilight, were the setting Of
the picture.

The Book OF Proverbs.

If you wish to find q system O
ethics better than all the "Pool
Richards for practical use, and bet
ter in theory than all the books o.
casuistry studied in the schools,
read the Book of Proverbs. 1t is q
wonderful book. 1t is full of COM
mon sense. 1t is discriminating and
yet downright. 1t hits the nail
squarely every time. As a means Of
success in business, as wade me-
cum in our intercourse with men,
good and bad, sluggish and excita-
BILE, cunning and simple, with men
of all sorts in all sorts in all states,
with all characters, there is nothing
in literature which equals it or even
resembles it. l advise you to make
it rule Of your life to read two ver-
ses in Proverbs before commencing
the work of each day. Ifyou would
like to have the name Of never doing
a foolish thing, or using u foolish
or uttering q foolish
opinion, study the Proverbs Of Sol
ouon till the spirit has penetrated
to the very marrow Of your daily
life.

| beg leave again TO repeat: that
these losses are adjusted, up to their

if a person has Insured property

Members nominated by the Grown. The
Government is required, when making the
necessary representation for those roIniua-
tious, to seek t. supply such elements il
the Council which popular elections leave
unprovided for. 1t is no doubt to this
right of nomination b" allut es. The
%a!lusion cannot he extended as applying
a so to Members elec5edby the popular vote,
Past experience proves that the Crownmem-
beers have by no means always worked with
the Government, but almost always against.
This is a fact patent to the minds OF al
most every body, including Mr. 3, and we
sboulI suppose also the Members them
selves. The inference which our cor
respondent Members seem to have drawn
from obs" remark, as conveying the asser-
ton that the public has no confidence in
the Council, because of the influence Of
tie Government on the Members, seems to
be so entirely opposed to the stabIiShcdstat
Of things and TO the evidences of past expert
ence, that those Members of the honorable
Council should have retraiued from allowing
it admittance. Its another question, if the
Councils Members elected by popular cleo
ton enjoy, or continue to enjoy, popular
couf Ieuce; in other words, if the people
have occasion to consider their interest
we'll served, well protected, by the Mem
bers sitting in the Council and let it be
remembered how they have come there
some with /, others with 5, 7, 10 votes ;
let it next be remembered the difference
of opinions always exhibited in very many
gIarlng ways between the electors and
their representati es and every body
will be able to answer himself. Our cor
respondent "B." is no doubt an ]elector he
can express his own individual opin-
ION, whether or not he places conf
dence in the Council. We for our
part, reserve our own opinion. We
doubt very much whether the Colo
NAL Law admits of the withdrawal of
popularity elected Members, because of nom
confdcuce of The electors; these are the
sufferers. and must abide by the consequent
cps. Before valid reasons are adduced, no
Member can withdraw or be expelled from
the Council.
Let US in conclusion add, that while the
Government, in the exercise of its duty in
regard to the nomination of C%rownmem-
bers, has always followed the strict dictates
of the Law, it has never-be it said to its
credit-at any one time interfered with
popular elections. nor endeayoured to in
hueuce them.-lED
