of most similar institutions.

A Yankee: in a shower bath.
Kind reader, did you ever take a shower hath 7
1 mean n right cold one, and in cold weather 7 If
you have, you will know how to appreciate (be feel
ings of my friend, Tom'C- —, upon tho momentous
oeeusiott of ills first shower h itb, in tbo city of Bos
ton; and month of March, 184—, _ •
C .hails from a long way ** Down East,**
nr, os ho Used, himself to say, ho “ was brought up
as near to sunrise as ho could get without burning,
and where the woods were so thick tbo moon could’nl
rise wilbrinl help.”. Ho stands six feet two natural,
and six foul six when ho stretches. • Ids breadth is
not quite In, proportion, although Ills bnnes were got
ten up fur a giant, (fad they been fairly covered
with,flesh, l»c would have been valuable to ••Barnum."
Tbo truth is, Tom was very lean indeed, and this
leanness annoyed him exceeding!}*. Ilia clothes
would bo open at tho elbows and knoss in half the
limb of ihoso of his fuller fellows, and .Tom vowed
lo gel f*il, if only for the sake of economy, .
Some kind friend recommended the, Gymnasium
as likely to bn»hcncfieiiil, and Tom forthwith enrol
led himself at Sheridan’*.' It wna there I first met
him, and n rigid good fallow, with plenty ofTun and
wit in him,.ho proved to bo, in spile ul’his unpromising
exterior.
Among the gymnast-, Dr* W - was conspicuous,
not only for Ids skill In all athe'etio feats, but also
for his. ho.MHiful, compact (Vm, and superabundant
mu«cle. When •ho “ peeled,” his onus and chest
looked smooth ns n woman's, nnd yet os museu)ur as
Ihnso of o "pocket Hercules,'*
flow our friend Tom envied the t)r.l Many <jues
lions did he nut to him about regimen,exercise, &e.,
and their cite cl in producing flesh on the human
frame. Tho Dr. attributed his redundancy In plenty
of exercise, plenty to cut, and obuvo all, to the daily
uso of (ho sAoioer hath.
“ Waul,*’said Turn ono day, with his Inimitable
drawl, “ I'm sure I’vu skinned up and down these

such an nllflrcd skeleton us mine. I wish I may be
darned if 1 don't try that shower bath, you tell so
much about."
AsJPom nnd 1 were ns thick ns two such thin
men could bo, I volunteered to show him where ho
could get one- in tfliorl order, . Wo accordingly
started for tho United States Hotel, then culled Tex

titions were ,very thin, I hoard’ him •soliloquising
something after this fashion— ""

“Oh l my I" cried the girl, “ don’t you know
howT Why I his easy eniiffl You pull this here

too.” .
Tom, who stood outside, caught hold of the string,
and before tho girl could intsrfure, gave it a tremen
dous pull, when down came a deluge of spit,
tcring them, and swimming the carpel. .
“There, now you seel” sulci the girl indignant-
*“Yo», I boo now,” replied Tom very coolly.
All this amused me considerably, but I had a pro.
■enlmont that the fun was not flnlshed. _

On the night of the 4th ull„ a lenlblo drama,
without n precfdnni, perhaps, in iho annals nf oiir
country, occurred in the valley of the Anre. A
pedjnr was returning from iho viljngn of Sarraca

borne, when In a sharp turn of the'road, the mis
erable man found himself face to faco whh five
wolves, which the snow had driven from Ili6
mountains into tbo valley, to obtain something to
eat. Imagine the fright, tbo terror of the tinfor
innate man. Ho was without arms; except his
walking stick, which was found broken,
(n tbo road, which was much stlhed up, all
isoemad to Indicate that ha had made a desperate, (
though useless resistance. How long a tune |
iho combat continued, and all the details of this ,
horrible drama, ire wrapt in mystery, Al (hat |
is certain Is that the wolves, after having killed ,
their victim, dragged his body some steps from |
the road, and there entirely devoured it. Iho
next day they found his shoes and fragments of
his clothes { vhoae, with a human skull, drowned
In n sea of blood, being oil that remained -of the
unfurlunolo man.

In the Senate of the United Slates, on Tues

'i‘hs people had been, were) and would be, suffering
from Wahl of protection, until ll»o Senate should '

a friend of the admission of California',', he would,

Mr. Foote replied'with much, warmth, indulging
in a personal attack upon Mr. ficnlon’s course—itn
ponging tho hrotives ol his action, and intimating:'* ■
