PLEASURE seekers, and persons in pursuit Of
recreation ard health during the heated Term,
often encounter dangers to life and health OF
which they are little aware. Allusion is not
here made to possible railroad collisions and
steamboat explosions, but 10 dangers that Turk
in the hidden recesses OF quiet, secluded, and
apparently salubrious retreats. Sickness and
death is often hidden away in summer resorts,
where the weary, over worked tourist, or in
valid LADY traveller, expects to find health-giv-
ing and life prolonging salubrity. Typhoid
ieyers not unsrequently abiGe i'll the
detective sewerage Of The most cel-
brated and popular retreats. a re
cent ilinstratlon of this occurred at the Belle
vue hotel, at Seabright. Imperfect drainage
produced sickness among the guests. which
developed into typhoid fever, in regard 10
two OF them. There was at once a panic
among the guests, and a great loss OF bust
ness To the hotel, and the proprietor, who
bad lease OF It, undertook to indemnify HIM
self by demanding of the friends of tbs two
sick persons 5000, threatening TO turn them
out unless that amount was Immediately paid.
As q removal was almost sure to be fatal to
the patients, their friends paid the amount
demanded. The friends of the patients now
propo to make it hot for the grasping pro-
prietor, by suing 10 recover the amount
OF the money ex.orted, and damages, also,
| by showing chat the keeper Of
the premises Yves himself responsible for the
fever by the defective sewerage Of his house.
Guests expect, and have right 10 demand,
every possible condition of health to exist in
such hotels, AMI ere really at the mercy of
landlords for they cannot know anything OF
the sewerage of such places. Summer seaside
| life, and warm seas on resorts generally, are
full of horrors If, in addition TO the imPGri-
ties of such places, mere nary proprietors may
extort large sums Of money Of sick patients
made sick by his own negligence, as the con-
dition of their remaining when fatal conse-
quenccs would most certainly follow removal.
| IT is often asked who is the author OF the
celebratedI funeral ode on the burial of Sir
John Moore? The Rev. Charles Wolfe, near
relative of the llusiriuus hero of QUEBEC, 4
was the author. lie wrote many poems aud
was possessed of true poetic genius. The
most noted of his poems, however, is this
one, and it seems to De the only one destined
| long to survive him. Il first obtained its
crest popularity from splendid eulogium
pronounced upon it by Lord Byron,
which GIN be found in Med
WINS Conversations of Byron" The
following is Medwio's record: The CONVEX
sation turned, after dinner, on the lyrical
poetry OF the day, and question arose as to
which was the most perfect ode that had
been produced. Shelley contended for Cole
ridges on Switzerland, beginning eye
Clouds" etc., Others named some of Moore's
Irish Melodies, and CAmpbell'S 'Hohenlin-
den;'' and had Lord Byron been not present,
his own "Iuvocatlon" in ''Maufred," or the
lode to Napoleon" Or on "PrUmetheus'
might have been cited. "Llke Gray" said
he, Campbell smells too much of the oil; he
is never satisfied with what he does; his finest
shiugs have been spotted by over polish.
Lie paintings, poems may be too highly
finished. The great art is effect, no matter
how produced. 1 viii show you an ode you
