Of wild and careless play, And persuado myoclf that I am not old, And my locks 8re not vet prey; For It dire the liloorl of an old man's heart, And makes his pulses Uv, To catch ihe thrill of a happy voice. And the light of a pleased eye. 1 Lave walked ths world for fourscore years, And they say that I am old That my heart is ripe for the reaper Death, And my years are wcllnlsfb told. It is very true it is very true I am old, and "I bide'iuy time;" But my heart will leap at a scene like this, And I bah renew my prime. Play on I play on 1 I am with you there, In the midst of your merry ring: I can feel the thrill of the daring jump, And the rush of the brea'blcss swing. 1 hide with you in t lie frncrnnt hay, And I whoop the smothered cali, j And my feet slip np on the seedy floor, And I care not ior the fall. 1 am willing to eo when my time shall come, And I shall be glad to go For the world, at best, is a weary place, And my pulse Is petting low: But the grave is dark, and the heart will fail la treading its gloomy way; And its wiles my 'breast from its dreariness, To see the voting so gay. A STRANGE CASK. A Young Lady Living AVithout Food Remarkable Feature of the Case, To the Editor of the Xtw York l imes: Some publicity has recently been given to tacts which, tor several month past, have been lam i liar to many families in Brooklyn, respect ing the inexplicable peculiarities of Miss Alary , who has been alllicted, and is still sull'sr- inor from disease, and who presents a study not only tor the medical faculty, but f jr students in mental science. About a year aqo this young iudy bad the misfortune to be thrown from a horse, and received severe injuries in con sequence, but so far recovered as to be able to walk and Tide out for e.er cise. On one of the occasions when she was riding in a car, us she attempted to fetep in the street, her hoop-skirt caught, and sue was thrown down and dragged some dis tance, receiving very severe injuries, which caused apprehensions that she would lose her lile. She was taken to her mother's resi dence, where she has since remained, and where every possible tenderness and attention were lavished upon her; and though many physicians have seen her and several of her friends, yet the history of the case, which may be regarded as extremely important to science, has been hitherto veiled from the public pub licity being the last tiling that the lamily, ot which the young lady is a most estimable daughter, would desire. The very great im portance of the case, notwithstanding its mar vellous character, must be the excute for break ing silence upon the tacts. It appears thai Miss Mary , after being taken home, was a sufferer irom severe spasms, after which she reclined on her right side, with her right hand under the back of her right car. The left hand was at liberty, and one of the lower limbs was twisted around the other, the toes being somewhat near each other. In this coudition the patient remained, her eye lads and teeth being closed, so that the physi cians were of the opinion that lockjaw had set in. The patient not only took no food and no drink, but she did not sleep. Her eyes were closed, but her mind was always awake. The variations lrom these couditions and posture were only during spasms, when the limbs were et at liberty for a moment, and then flew back to their wonted places. While in the ordinary position and unaffected by spasms, the patient soon beirins to display remarkable powers, which will be compre hended when they have been described. She wiote with her left hand to her friends, and never failed to write on the ruled blue lines of the paper with the same ease as if she had the use other eyes. Her letters to her friends and schoolmates are cbecrfuk compositions, written in an elegant Italian back hand, although the me of ibe thumb of the lelt hand Is denied to her. The pen has always been taken by the Jorcfingcrs and firmly grasped, the little finger and the edge of the hand being parallel to the paper. These letters have been familiarly signed "Mollie," and breathe no comp'aint at tier suuermgs. This young gvri, nowever, nas not been deserted by nature altogether, and lelt to be pitied. She has been able to call up the deepest in terest, because she seems to be gitted with clair voyance to a remarkable degree. She crochets, and that, too, in colors. The materials are placed at the back ot her head, when she uses the thumb and lorchnger of her right hand and her left hand in producing very handsome results. She can crochet thus, at the back of her bead, without making any mistake in the colors, as well as any young lady who has the use of vision and her two hands. She can hIso cut beautifully in paper, and do embroidery work, aud in tUis way she finds both employ ment and amusement. Another faculty that she possesses is that of reading any book without ever opening it. K seems, however, that it must be near her, or that she must touch it. A published report uavs that she does not see in this way everything in the room. This is possible, and even proba ble; but it seems that she can see, without the use of her eyes, anything that Is near her. Our inlormant, who is well known in this com munity, avers that there is no doubt of her com plete power of clairvoyance, although he has never heretofore been satisfied that any cae has been well authenticated, and he has called the attention of Prolossor Agassiz to the subject, in the hope that some scientific report, beyond the question of a doubt, may be made upon the facie. The latest condition ot the patient varies HOinewhat lrom that in which she has been for many months. About Christmas she fell into a trance that lasted twenty days, and since that time hopes have been entertained that some nourishment is given to her, but the physician in attendance states that so far as lood or drink are conceined, she cannot be said to have taken any ior nine months. It will naturally be asked if she has not become emaciated lrom such fasting. This would be the usual m'erence, but in her case she presents a picture altogether the reverse. Hhehas grown more handsome and apparently more healthy during her disease. No signs of ill-health mark her checks. As she reclines npon her right arm, when not engaged in her employment, she might be regarded as in a pent I e sleep. She is not pleased with the visits f physicians, but she is gratified to have tue presence ot friends. The question ot her recovery is doubtful, althoutn the fact that she has seemed to obtain some very slight nourlsliiiv nt lately gives a little hope, She is attended by one ol the most eminent physicians of Brooklyn, who states that while she is ill it is impossible to give any opinion as to the direct cause of this peculiar malady. It is certain that at one period, from the l'jth ot September until Christmas, she never ate, drank, or dept. and that during that time she worked at her employment and books as though possessing all her laeulties. So wonderful a ca-e as this, of course, is liable to be received as a report of imaginary facts, but the know ledge that the whole matter, for the cake of science, must soon be made public, is tb only apology that is required for directing public auentiou to the case. The medical meu of Brooklyn have been nmch Interested in this interesting young patient, and are able to cor roborate the statement made, but they have no opinion to oiler, so far as can be learned, on the causes of the malady. It is thought Ly some that the stilne has been injured, and that the lairvoyanca is the result ot tome abnormal condition ot the brain. Frescoes.

FOR ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS SSB FIFTH PAOB.J Stiam Boilbrr and Lboislatiow In Select Conned chamber was laat evening held a meeting of the Council Committee to prepare legislation for tne prevention of boiler explosions. Mr. Robert M. Evans, of Common Council, presided. There were present some fifty persons, including the lest practical machinists ana manufacturing en tire? of the city. Wm. Sellers and Mr. Blanchnrd, Examiner for the United States Patent-office, Dr. O. M. Oresaon, Henry flowsonand Mr. Birklnblne were examined at length. From J. E. Wootten, Engineer of Machinery of the Philadelphia and Bending road, was read a communication. The act of May 7, 1H(H. authorizing the appoint ment of an Inspector of Boilers is sufficient for the purpose desired, If the provisions of the third sec tion were folly taken advantage of, by establishing proper regulations, and by setting forth explicitly rules for the government ot the Inspector while examining. For whilst under the act equally competent engineers may differ after examining the same boilers, and whilst there may be cases lu which no speciflo rule can be given for action, there will, in most Instances, be a decided advan tage in establishing such general regulations aa these That boilers or boiler flues of a certain dia meter and length shall have a given thickness ot iron In the sheets of which they are composed; that safety valves shall bear a certain proportionate relation in area and number to the boilers; that all gauge cocks, or other water gauges, shall ba in a certain prescribed condition; that a prescribed test be made of steam pressure gauges; that when two or more boilers are connected in one gang, certain conditions shall be observed, tending toward the maintenance of a strict water level throughout the gang. The question of what shall constitute a safe boiler and Its attendant fixtures to be referred to a committee appointed by the Franklin Institute. The communication advocated inspection o boilers oftener than once a year. Mr. Iiirkinbi:,e reported that In Philadelphia there are receiving water from the department: Engines, ..... 017 Horse power, ..... 10,100 Iinilers, U25 There are not receiving water from the depart ment: In Manayunk, boilers, ... so In Frankford, " ... 40 Other parts ol city, boilers, - - WO Total, boilers, .... 1 1 15 Mr. H. B. Lyons recommended the appointment of a chief engineer aud tour assistants for the in spection of boilers for the city; to keep a record of boilers in use, makers, use, age, power of pressure, average pressure, and other data; to make exami nations eeml-annually, testing the boilers by ny draulic pressure, and note at each examination the thickness of the iron and the corrosion by rust; to examine engineers and report their fitness, and make it criminal for a firm to employ an engineer after being cautioned. Another recommendation was tor the appoint ment of three inspectors by the Mayor. The tenure of office of the inspectors to be uuring good be havior, or for two years. From a number of engineers of the city was re ceived a document expressing gratification that a system was about to be inaugurated by which competent engineers would be employed. The appointment ol a board of examiners is nrged, whose diploma shall be the prerequisite of em ployers. Mr. Sellers suggested that a Chief Inspector and two assistants examine every boiler at least once a year, and test each by water pressure fifty per cent, above that usually applied, and that no boiler should be set for use without tne inspection and permission ot the examiners. In case a boiler is declared dangerous it should be criminal to con tinue its use. Each boiler should be placed sepa rately, and provided with a safety valve, two gauges and Uoat, and have a fixed water appa ratus. 'When boilers are set over each other, the valves, pipe and all other apparatus should be ap proved by the inspector. Mr. Evans said that from New York he had re ceived a statement of the operations under the New York law: In that city there have been boilers examined, 4,207; defects corrected, 715; boil ers tested hydrostalically, 3,(IM; boilers repaired 121; gauges repaired, 254; safety-valves repaired 195; boilers removed. 0. Mr. Evans submitted an ordinance, as a basis for ihe action of the committee, providing that Councils shall organize a department for inspect ing stationary steam engines and boilers. The head of the department to be a chief inspector of steam engines and boilers, to be appointed by the Mayor; the Inspector having been employed in the building and management of steam engines for ten years. The Chlel Inspector to appoint, with the Mayor's approval, four first and four second assistants, of seven and live years' experience respectively. 1 ne unlet inspector iu Kwp u icuum ui cm;u boiler and engine inspected, their locution and nse, and all particulars relating to them; to see that each engine and boiler is inspected at least once a year by a rlrst assistant, the boilers being examined internally and externally, and subjected to a hy drostatic pressure ot at least twenty per cent, above the highest working pressure that the boiler will be allowed to use; to see that the boiler has at least a good and sufficient safety valve and three inch gauge cocks, and that each boiler or pair of boilers snail nave a goou pressure gauge; to cause a written report of the inspected boilers to be de livered to the owners. When repairs are needed, the first assistant to direct them. The owner of every steam boiler in the city, ex cept fire engines, steamboat and railroad locomo tive boilers, shall report its location to the Chief Inspector, and the boilers shall then be inspected. A certificate of the good condition ot a boiler shall be Issued by the Chief Inspector, stating the maxi mum pressure of steam it shall carry. No one shall be employed to take charge of an engine or boiler unless holding a certificate issued by the Chief Inspector. The salary of the Chief Inspec tor to be 3000; First Assistant $1500; Second As sistant . 900. The Chief to report quarterly to the Mayor the number of boilers examined, and their condition. Penalties are provided for neglect of the ordinance. The committee held the ordinance under consid eration. Dr. Cresson submitted as the most frequent causes of explosion: Improper form of construc tion ana staying' aeiecuve or tnin materials; wear from use, including coating with scale, low water, hot fuel too near the shell, expulsion or water be tween lines; galvanic waste lrom the introduction of metals in the water; cleaning; use of corrosive materials to prevent the formation of scale; low water and injection ot feed water upon highly neatea plates; low water ana suaaen starting oi engine; sudden removal of scale by starting engine and valve, presenting iresn not service to the wa ter; want ot blowing out and the injection of Ires a teed water. All these, the doctor thought, could be remedied by educated engineers. The committee at a late hour adjourned. A Bold Tuibf. A bold robbery was per petrated last evening, between the hours of 6 and 7 o'ciock, at tne store oi air. iiuuu miner, Kiehth aud Chesnut streets. A lew minutes alter Mr. Miller had temporarily left the store, a negro came in and banded a note to the young lady lelt in charge, worded a9 lollows: "send mo what money you nave in the drawer to change a twenty-dollar note for tiiia young man. John Millkr." The voting lady, not suspecting that anything was wrong, proceeded to the drawer, aud taking ten dollars therefrom, held the same in one of ber hands, while with the other she was search ing for more. At this moment tne leiiow sua-il.-nlv seized the notes, and. quick as a flash. darted out of the door and escaped before the iamncpi ted vounc lady could give any alarm. The daring robber had paid several visits to the store during the past two or tnree aays, ana last evenini: it was evident tuai ne uaa Deen watch- lug an opportunity iu liuiuiun tun ruuuerv Shortly BlttT tne prupiiciui uuu teiupuiuiiiy retired liom the store. fcirvATOJt Swanjt Serenaded.

Gover nor Swaun appeared at tfce window, alter several aim had been performed, and in a briel manner tendered hi thanks lor the compliment paid him, and excused himself irom making any ex tended remarks in consequence ot the unpro pitious state of the weather, and also from the fact that he was suffering from a slight indispo sition, caused by the heavy labors that had lately devolved on him.
