Swimming for Girls.

The public are continually reminded
of the numerous contrivances, supports,
stays, shoulderstraps, etc., and the va
rious exercises that are best calculated
to prevent round shoulders, a STOPPING
awkward gait, contracted chests, and
So fourth; but perhaps there is no kind
of exercise for girls more calculated 10
attain those desirable objects than that
of swimming. During the act of swim
ming the head is thrown back, the chest
we'll forward, while the thoracic and re-
spiratory muscles are in strong action,
and both the upper and lower extremi;
ties are in full play. Indeed, in
health point of view, females would OF
ten have an advantage over the strong
er sex, as, owing to the large amount
of adipose tissue covering their muscles,
and the comparative smallness and
lightness of their bones, they not only
have greater powers of t1otation thar
men, but, as a rule, can continue muct
longer in the water. They are, there,
fore, naturally qualified to become gooo
swimmers; and Mr.. Macgregor men
tions that out of class of thirty girls
whose instruction commenced late las
season, twenty-five were taught to swim
| in six lessons, and six OF them wol
prizes. 1t is to be hoped, therefore
that girls will not be debarred from
learning this graceful and healthful &C
complishment either through lack o
baths or of teachers Such a practic
is particularly called for at the presen
day, as a set-off against the 'glrls
the period" to indulge in those literar,,
and sedentary pursuits which are an
thing but favol able to the developmen
of healthy physique.-Medfcds Pres

twenty-four years of age, of quiet habits

career before him. And yet, within
this brief period, his pen supplied the
English reading world with the COM
pletest and most graphic news OF all the
great events making the current history
Of the civilized globe, and won him an
enviable reputation on two con-
tinents.
During this eight years he crossed the
