Imagine yourself, sfter long seasons of fierce endeavor, among the pushing throng of & grest cits, permitted to drop your burdes down and out of your mind, avd to find yourself miles awsy from it all, into the very heart of Nature. Jou draw in deep inspiations as the gratefal fragrance of the wWoods steals over you, and your soul rises in epirit- ual response to the mystic inflnences of the ecene. Tho tumult of life asit isis for- gotten, and & great quiet posseases your genses go that yom feel, though you can searcely be said to hear, the myTisd sounds which are mak- ing soch sweet and barmouious wuslo around vou.

THE ARRANGEMESTS FOB COMFUBT and convenience have seemed complefe each yesr, but every season finds us with sdlitional Iuxuries wotil it wonld now appear impoasible to 2dd to the facilities for perfect emjoyment. Eleven years ago s single army-tent sccommo- dated the handful of gentlemen who penetrated into thess wids for the purposes of rest and recrestion. A bundle of fresn.straw, or the dried water-reeds Indigenous to the place, served them for beds st might, and all colinary operations were performed by themselves in & most primitive manner— with no fear of criticism, however, since at that time po Jadies accompanied them. These were ‘happy seasons without doubt; but, as we are led to believe, Adem of old conld not feel guite contented even in Paradise without his Eve, 8o these gentlemen Legan to reslize the absence of the ssme delightfal feminine element, and with the realization came the resolve to hencefort make arrangements for the accommodation of therr families, Of course, THE NEW ORDER OF THINGS involved greater requirements and needs. New members wore added to the club, half & dozen tents were parchased, snd euch luxuries a8 straw pillows, woolen blankets, and tin wash- basing, began to appear upon the scene, One might suppose that the scme of home comfort and convenience had now been reached, but these elements of Cisilization seemed only fo suggest mew posmbnlities. As the years went on, the number of members in the ciub was gradually increased to twenty, and this wooded strip of land between the Twin Lakes,— gome 25 acres,—was purchased for & permanent sonual resort. A long rough build- ing was erected and partitioned off into cook- room and dining-ball, and stocked with the necessary utensils, and & number of bosts were placed upon the lakes. It would be dificalt to conceive & more charming piacé than the present one, or mora delightful circumstances than now prevail. Between forty and fifty tents stretch- ing along the beach of the sonth lske, and com- fortably ehaded by the overhanging trees, accom- modste aboat 150 persons,—4a comfortable and sgreeable a crowd a8 one might desire an ac- quaintance with. Everything that could be de- sired has cerfainly now been atfained. Ass ‘popalsr minister and guest waa heard to remark recently, the three great considerations for which pations have struggled have now been achieved : : EASE, IFDEPESDENCE, AND ORDER. The tant-bomes are each provided with s good flooring of matched boards, s wash-bench and sppurtenances, & shelf or two, and good beds,— epring-beda in mauy instances. A new kitchen has been sdded to the wooden building, which might excits the envy of many s bousse- wife, 8o complete are the conveniences. ‘Three scientific sablea cater to the hearty but by no means exacting sppetites of the crowd, under i pervision of Mr. Ge 8.

This office, it ill readily be sdmitved, is o sinecurs, but Mr. Haskell's abilities are of too high s order not %o meet the recopnition of his friends, and his efforts to cast the responsibulities over other shonlders have thus far proved futile. Bince Jast Beason a very nseful soquisition in the abape of & small steamer has been placed upon the | porth lake by Capt.

Reed, of Bock- ford, is accounted by all the champion plsyer AmoDg us. _ Although perfect latitude is of course allowed in the disposal of time by each, there is consid- erable choice in the matter of diversion. A com: mittes, consisting of three gentlemen, Mr. AL Starr, Mr. S.C. Withron, and Mr. W. A. Talcott, provides some new sntertainment for each even- ing. Music and dancing generally form one portion of the evening's entertainment, b the dramatic and oratorical talent in the com- pany are frequently called into play, amusement being, of course, the chief aim. Musicians are engaged by the club for the season, and furnish instrumental music npon the violin, organ, and basa viol, and there is no lack of home talent in vocal culture and no hesitation on the part of any to do anything which will conduce to the general pleasnre. The * party™ of the season will be given on Friday evening, when all are ex- pected to meet at the ball in mask. cy 8 mask party with such facilities for charteriza- tion in costume as one is likely o have in sucha place as this. A rich time is in prospect. AMONG THE QUESTS this season sre Gen. Chetlain, Willism H. Oving~ ton, E. A. Small, H. M. Higginbottom, Volney Marsh, and others, of Chicago; the Reve. D. M.

Jones, of Joliet; Will- iam Phelps, of Rochelle ; Judge Sheldon, of the Tltinois Supreme Court; snd O. B. Bidwell, of 1t is rumored that Mr. Higginbottom, who was & visitor here for a few days only, was so favor- sbly strock with the novelty of the affair that he has gone bome, intending to orgsnize s similar club, to be composed 1 part of gentlemen from Joliet, his former home. The opposite side of the sonth lake is talked of as the point for pur- chase in case of organization. Sufiicient fish are caught by the lovers of this sport to farnish at least one meal a day, but the 1akea are of Jsto beooming somewhat depopulat- d from the excessive fishing of the farmers in the vicinity during the winter. ~Last winter, howerver, the extreme thickness of the ice pro- Yented, in » great measure, exhaustive work of {his kind. Recognizing the serious results which in & few years would follow eo much desunction, the club last year attempted 1o restock the lakes, parchasing balf s million of CaRfornia falmon spswn_for the purposs, but the scheme failed for Eeome resson, and there is mow talk of repestmg the experiment. Efforts will als0 be made during the coming wi- ter to procure_the passage aud enforcement of proper probibitory fish-laws, and thus obtain the protection of the Btate. THE PASTOES of the several churches attended by the differ- ent members of the Club are, by s provisionary rule, alwaya invited to accompany them on these annusl excursions, and thus it happeus that the Suoday services are one of the chief sources of pleasure to many, as well as of profit, it may be hoped. A truth must be poorly ammed which would nos strike bome while the whole being Tests under the softening and elevating influ- ences of this lovelv sylvan life. An excellent discoarse was delivercd under the trees on last Sabbath by the Rev. F. P.

Last winter. whilo Feturning from his customary Southern trip, he was the viciim of an accident which very shortly ended in his death. Appropriats action was, of course, taken by the clnb at the time. Mention in memorial was also made on last Sunday evening by Mr. G. A Sanford, ome of the older members. Both guests and members have been 80 long 8od so closely united in bonds of sympathy ~and friendship that the absence of a single individa- sl could but occasion rémark and Tegret; and whyn, 86 in this case, grim death bas made the absence eternal, there must come to each of us some moments of Bolembity, even in our happi Desa, a5 the thonght of our missing friend sug- gosts the fateful crisis which must surely come tousall.

Sale of Gladstone’s Collection of Antiquities and Pictures: Sale of the Renowned Marl- borough Collection of Description of Some of the Treasures: and of the Sale, Gallery for Chicago Artists at the’ Com- ing Exposition. A New Art-School Projected.: ENGLISH ART-SALES. Though not generally known in that connec- tionin this country, Mr. Gladstone has long been regarded 2s s connoisseur of art in En- gland. He was esrly seized with the passion for collecting old" china and srticles of vertn of all sorts, and his private collection of antiquities and pictures has-long been sapposed to be one of the most valusble in the Kingdom. In this pursuit Mr. Gladstone has had not only the sup- port of s gimilar {aste on the part of a contem- porary statesman, Charles Sumner, whose pe- cial taste turned towards fine engravings, but the example of 8o mnotable a predecessor 88 Cicero, who, according to Fuseli, when about 43 years of age projected tho formation of 3 library and s collection of antiquities, apparent- ly with the intention of retiring by snd by from political life to the enjoyment of thess scquisitions. Cicero' made his friend Atticns his agent, and wrote, in the true spirit of acol- lectar, *In the name of our friendship suffer nothing to escape you of whatever you find cari- | . ous or rara ;* and again,. “ You cannot imagine | how greatly my passion incresses for this sort: of things : it is such - that it may appesr ndica- Jous in the eyes of many; but you are my friend, #nd will only think of eatisfying my wishes.” Nevertheless, the great Pluto writes, 150 years Inter, complaining of a recent custom of col- | lecting works of art into- galleries, becanse, in his view, statues were to be valued notfor their besuty, but a8 portraits. of the ancestors of the | The retirement of Mr. Gladstone from active | politica has been the oceasion not of his entering into the more leisurely enjoyment of his collec~ tion, but of its SALE AT PUBLIC AUCTION, at Christis, Mamson, and Woods’ in London, June 26.

IMPOBTANT TO CHICAGO ARTISTS- The Art Committes of the Exposition have devoted s room to the use of the artists of the city. The exhibition of American pictures will be extensiveand importaat, and the representation from Eastern cities will be stroog. 1t is neces- sary for our artists to make definits and strenu- ous esertions in. order to maintain s respectable place, snd some immsdiste action cught to be tsken towards organizing the Chicago department. It is understood that it would be most satisfactory to the officers of thoe Exposi- tion if the local artista would take this matter altogether out of their hands, acd collect and srrange the pictures for their own room and manage the whole affair themselves, subject of course to the spproval of the officers and the gemeral conditions of the Exposition. ‘There w8 complaint last year that the exh:bition was mansged by private intereets, and mo chance given to home artiats. This year the mansge- ment is changed, sad the intention is to give them every opportunify, snd it depends uoon them to 256 ttieir privileges creditably. Thers is no body representing the whole number of artists in the city. The Academy of Design inclodes a major- ity of the good painters and scalptors, but there is & considerable number, some of them smong our best artists, who ars not connected with that institation. Notioe has been given to the Academy and to one or two of the principal outsiue artists that & room in the Exposition is to be placed at their dispossl Joint action ought to be taken, parhapa by calling s general meeting of artsts, scademicians “and mon- scademicians, for the of selecting com- mittees to take charge of the exhibition. Such 2 call would naturally proceed from some well- known artists both outaids and inside the emy.
