We would direct the attention of the C. Y. P. R. U. to the very instructive article entitled "The Rocks," by Mr. Charles Barnard, and to the interesting description of "A Visit to an Ostrich Farm," by Lieutenant E. W. Sturdy, U.S.N. For those who are interested in athletic sports, and to the lesson which is always attached to them, that no game requiring quickness, precision, and endurance can be successfully played unless great attention is paid to health, and all habits of intemperance and self-indulgence renounced, we would recommend Mr. B. G. Smith's excellent article upon the game of Lacrosse.
