SAITKOAY Al'TEROO.V.

BY P. WILLIS. I love to look on a scene like this. Ot wild and careless play. And persuade myself that I am uot old. And my locks are not yet gray: -For it stirs the blood of an old inau's heart. To catch the thrill ol a happy voice. And the light of a pleasaut eye. I have walked the world for four-score years. And they say that I am old That my heart is ripe tor the reaper Death, And my years are well nigh told. It is very true it is very true I am old, and I, " bid my time; But my heart will leap at a scene like thi. And l nail renew my prime. Play on! p!ay onf I am with you there. In the miost of your -merry ring; I can feel th thrill of the daringjump. And the rush of the breathless swing, I hide with you in the fragrant hay. And I whoop the smothered call. But my feet slip up on the seedy rloor. And I care not tor the fall. I am willing to die when my time shall come. And I shall he glad to go For the world at best is a weary place. And my pulse is getting'low ; But the grave is dark, and the heart will fall In treading Its gloomy way; Aud it wiles my breast from its dreariness. To see the young so gay. The Russian Vapor . BathMark Twain's Experience 1 herein. I cmly got over a calamitous cold in the head yesterda', and to day I felt like the breaking up of a hard Winter. I had the blues, and a ceaseless drumming and ringing in the ears, and a deadening oppression on the brain, and a horrible sense of suffocation. The weather was cold, and the gasses from the villainous coal fire were stifling. Beside all these little inconveniences, my thoughts persistently ran on funerals and suicide. I was in a fit frame of mind for any desperate enterprise, and with a recklessness that even stirred a sort of dull admiration wiAiu me, I resolved to go and take aHath. In five minutes I was breasting the frosty wind and ploughing through the soft new snow, and in fifteen I stumbled upon the place where they keep the monster they call the Russian bath. This was rather more than I bargained for, but I hesitated only a moment and went in. I went up stairs iu the stylish building, and alon a carpeted hall, and entered a large and . sumptuously furnished and decorated drawing room, with pictures hung round the walls, and a general air of comfort and luxury visible all about the place that could not be otherwise than exasperating to a man in my frame of mind. A very Eolite man entered my name in a ook, taxed me a dollar and a quarter, took charge of my watch and portmonaie, gave me a ticket and turned me over to an attendant, who conducted me into another part of the house and gave me a neat stateroom wherein to undress. "Vheu I came out of there, a fine healthy young descendant of Adam (I think he was a descendant of Adam because he hadn't anythiug on but a fig leaf made of a rag) took me into a large apartment that was as hot as sin, and gave me a basin of cold water to wash my face in, and a cup of ice water to drink, and then left me. The place had a latticed floor, and a great plunge bath in the middle of it, and two long rows of high, broad marble benches, runniug down the sides a sort of stairways that reached halfway up to the ceiling. The room began to fill with steam, and I began to sweat. I oozed drops of water from every pore as large as marbles marbles of the small kiud. I climbed up on the bench, and then on the next, and finally to the third and the higher 1 went the hotter it got. The fog grew thicker and thicker, till the gas lights were only faint blurs iu the mist. I could not breathe through my nose any more, because the steam was so thick; I had to inhale it through my mouth and if I hadn't had a mouth like a ship's hatchway I must have suffocated anyhow. I was a little scared, thinking about steamboat exflosions and things', because I knew was carrying about sixty pounds of steam to the square inch, and if lever shut down mv throttlevalve for a single moment i was bound to collapse a flue- But it was a comfort to me to know that I had such a head on by this time that if I d d let go I would be likely to blow the most of that bath house over into Jersey somewhere. At this critical period, Adam appeared, and I was uncommon rlad to see him, notwithstanding he loomed so vaguely through the shrouding mist that I cculd not swear I saw him at all. He put me under a cold shower bath and turned a deluge loose on me. But it felt good. ext he laid me on a marble bench and soaped me and scrubbed me all over with an implement that was rough for a brush, but soft for, a curry comb. I got another shower bath after this, and then the outcast stood me up and shot me in the back with a spray of hot water that made me face around well, as quick as you might say j and instantly shot me with a spray of ; ice water and when I whirled again I caught a blast of hot air above, a spray o: not water below, and a jet ot ice-water like a thousand needles in the middle. The operation makes a I man get rouud as spry as anything I i t' l s.v;n;-A . KUOW Ol. UUL il 13 CAU13UC LUllUlC. Then this inhuman Bussian posted me in a corner and discharged a volley of boiling hot and ice cold streams of water against every part of my body. To say that this makes a man frisky, is to use language of unspeakable tameaess. Then I was told to jump into the plunge bath. I said, with some irony, that if I was to go into a furnace next, and afterwards into an ice chest, and then suffer an earthquake and theu be struck by

lightning, I would prefer to tackle those outrages first and get them . off our mind, if it would be all the same to the Bussian Bath Company. But the foreigner said no, and looked perplexed delicate sarcasm always perplexes a foreigner and I p ut-.ied in. After this, I had to climb up on the marble benches and i-weai and cook again for fifteen minutes, and then Adam came back and put me through the same old system of tortures, again winding up with a Niagara shower bath that must have washed all my sins away unless they had gtt caked on me because I felt like a regenerated man a moment afterward. Adam took me into a room of gentler temperature next, and rubbed me - with his hands and kneaded me all over with his knuckles as if I were dough; and sprung all my joints and tried to pull my limbs out by the roots. Then he brushed me gently all over with a soft brush, and finally sat me up and scratched and scratched and scratched my head for ten minutes with his finger nails, but I had him there he never caught anything. I dressed and went into the drawing room and got my valuables, and as the po'ite superintendent insisted and insisted on my taking a drink with him he asked me once any way I did take just a small taste to make him happy, and went my way. I appreciated that young man, because politeness to a stranger is rare in New York. The sharp wintry wind never felt so bracing or smelled so delicious as it did when I went striding up the street, and if there was anything dismal or cheerless about this old world it was not present to any of my senses then. The Bussian bath will do.

An Anecdote of Webster. All men appear to have, more or less, two natures. Daniel Webster was remarkable in this respect. He was as grave as a Senator should be in the Senate house, but gay as a summer bird in outdoor pursuits. A gentleman was appointed minister to a foreign court while Webster was Secretary of State. The former had to go repeatedly to the latter for his credentials indeed, it seemed as though he would never get them, Mr. Webster constantly putting him off, with his solemn manner, on the ground of having to attend to important affairs of State. At last, the session of Congress being over, and Mr. Webster about to leave Washington, he apologized, urging the appointee to call on him at his home at Marshland, where he certainly should receive his papers. He went there and got what he required. Webster took him fishing, and amused the gentleman through other light pursuits, and when he left he was delighted and surprised at the contrast of character between the statesman at Washington and the man of Marshland. A friend happened to ask our newly appointed diplomat whether he had seen Webster. "Seen him?" was the response, "why there are two of them!" Sidney Smith described Webster as a steam engine in trousers. LAW CARDS. J. F. WELB0BX, ATTORIVEY AT LV W A XD JS'O TAR I' PUBLIC.
