Mr. Blakie may lock the doors of the boat-house next October, and refuse to admit any one until a sufficient number of paying members is obtained, and this would be a wise course for him to take. In spite of these facts we still think that "the status of the 'house-clubs' for next year does not seem to warrant the discouraging article in the Advocate."

To pass through Boston Common, even, on a pleasant, summer evening about dusk, when so many hearts are lost and won, will give an observing man much food for reflection on the proportion maintained between the three factors,-the social status of the lovers, the strength of their affection, and the publicity of its manifestation; and at Niagara! -truly the air is so love-laden that a poor bachelor mortal can hardly breathe...
