From the Spirit of the Times A Yankee in h Shower Hath. Kind render, did you ever take n shower hath! I mean a right cold one, and in cold weather ! If you have , you will know how to appreciate the footing* of my friend, ‘j om C , upon the momentous occasion of hi* first shower hath, in the city of Boston, nnd month of March, 181—. Tom C—— hail* from n long way “Down Erast,” or, os he used himself to any, he “was brought up a* near sunrise a* he could gut without burning, and where the woods were so thick the moon couldn’t rise without help” He stands six feet two natural, and *ix feet six when lie stretches. His breadth is not quite in proportion, al though In* bones were gotten up loragiunt. Had they been fairly covered witn flesh, lu* would have been invaluable to “Barnum.” The truth is, Tom was very’ lean indeed, nnd hi; leanness annoyed him exeeuding ly. Hi* clothes would la* open at the elbows and knees in half the time of those of hi* fatter fellows, and Torn vowed to get i'at, if only for the sake of economy. Some kind friend recommended the Gymnasium as likely to be beneficial, nnd Tom forthwith enrolled himself nt Bheridnn’s. It was there I first met him, and a right good fellow, with plenty of tun nnd wit in him, he proved to be, in despite of his unpromising ex terior. Among the gymnasts, Dr. W wns conspicu ous, not only for his skill in all athletic feats, but also for lu* beautiful, compact form, uud superabundant muscle. When he “p fled,” his arms nnd cheat look ed smooth n* n woman’s, nnd yd a* muscular ar those ora “pocket Hercules.” How our Tom envied the Dr.! Many questions did he put to him about regimen, exercise, &.c. &<• , and Uieir ellect in producing flesh on the human frame.— The Dr. attributed lus redundancy to plenty of exer cise, plenty to eat, and above all, lotlie daily uae of the shower bath. “Waal,” said Tom one day, with h ; s inimitable drawl, ‘Tin aure I’ve skinned up and down these lad der* nnd rope* loiigenufi'; a* loi eating, ’taint tube expected that one man cun eat muff to fatten such an all tired skeleton as mine. I wish I may be darned if* 1 don’t try that shower bath,you tell so muclmboul.” A* Toni aud 1 were a* thick as two such thin men could be, 1 volunteered to show him where he could get one in short order. We accordingly started tor the United States Hotel, then called Texas in the base ment story of this house were a large number ot both •Ng rooms, fitted up with hot, cold and shower baths. r l he latter were temporary wooden loxe* standing on end, with door* bolting on the inside, and a very capa cious showering apparatus in the top. 1 went in to take a warm bath, while Tom made ready for hi* cold one iu the next room. A* the parti tions were very thin, 1 overheard him soliloquising something after this fashion— *'Waul, now, that upright coffin with holes iu the bottom, and asicve in the top. may pass fora shower bath here, but I guess if we had it Down East, twouldn’t be long afore we had it sot for eels! Blast the thing! wonder hw it works? Here, you Susan,Sally,what’s your name ?” calling to the servant girl, “just cum here and show me how the critter work*. 1 don't sec no shower.” ‘Uh my !” cried the girl, “Don’t you know how? Why ! ’tus easy enuff! You pull this here string, and I guess you’ll see a shower, and feel it too.” lorn, who stood outside, caught hold of the string, and before the girl could interfere, gave it a tremendous pull, when down came a deluge of water, spattering them, and swimming the carpet. “'lliere, now you see !” said the girl indignantly. “ Ye*, l see now,” replied Tom very coolly. All fhis amused me considerably, but 1 had a presen timent that the tun wns not finished. Tom adjourned to the room on the other side of mine, und the girl to wiping up the carpet. Before Tom hnd gotten ready to enter his hath, 1 wns out of nine and nearly dressed. All had been still in his room for several minutes, except an occasional muttering of dis connected sentences, <*uch as— nt oiitlcr wliat there is about this to fatten a man.— Never heard that Noah was very fat, and he took one for forty day*. Mighty small place to stuff my car case into. Guess there isn’t much danger of the wa ter* coming up high enuff to drown me. Wonder it ’twill fell any thing as that blasted shower did down tu Bath last summer, &c. &10. | 1 heard him alter stepping ;::to his closet, shut the ! door, which he carefully bolted ; at. 1 the next minute there came a crashing “ slum-bung “ on the duor that made the house shake, followed by the most terrific scream* and shout* of “Oh! oh ! Oh Lord ! Oh ! oh! 1 hunder and lightning 1 Murder! Fire! Water! Let me out! I’m drowning ! Help! lor God’s sake, help ! ’ and ending by calling on me vociferously. in an instant not only I, but every servant and nil others within hearing, male and female, were m the room. Although he had not ceased shouting, nothing was to be seen of Tom, but in the centre oi the floor laid the shower both, door downwards, nnd the whole atiinr absolutely yumpi;ig from Tom s superhuman ef fort;, to relieve himself. We rolled it over, the door flew open, and out tumbled the most astounding muss ol arms, legs, and body ever presented to the astonish ed gaze ot human eyes One moment was given to astonishment; the next the women scanqiered, and then mortal risible* could stand it no longer. We rolled on the floor in little abort of convulsions. I om raised himself up, too happy in his fancied escape to !>e very a u,ry at u*, but striving to assume some dig nity. Dignity from such a figure, in such a plight! ! V\e roared louder than ever, and Tom finding it was oi no u*e, joined in the chorus, until we were compel led to stop from sheer exhaustion. He then—having hustled on a part of his garments —answered our repeated enquiries of “how it hap pened ?” “ Why, yon see, when I got into that infernal man trap there, 1 bolted the does, ami then it took me some time to screw up my courage. I knew it was all-fired cold, and so I thought I would brii.g down the shower a little at a time. Waal, you see, f pulled the string— conoam it—kinder softly, alnjut an inch tu once. I had my shoulders drawn up, ny head down, my eyes and teeth shut, and 1 gave it another little pull, when kerchouse ! came a hull ocean of ice -water, right slap ou my head, blinding me, taking away my breath, and tairly quackling me. 1 made one jump for the door, but tiie plguv thing was boiled, and over went the hull machine kerslap on the floor ! Then 1 got frightened, and thought 1 was drowning sure enuff— Maybe 1 didn’t sing out and try to strike out, but ’twarnt no use. 1 filled the machine so frill, 1 couldn’t stir enuff only to knock all the skin off my knee* and el bows. Just then you cauie in and let me out, and you know a'l the rest. Pluguenation take the shower bath ! 1 wouldn’t take another if'twaato make me as fat as Daddy Lambert.” Nor has poor Tom to this day, but remains n perfect Calvin Edsoii on a mammoth scale. Cheval.

Dear Colonel: 1 feel a good deal anxious to hear how you are getting along there to home, and I ’spose you are full a* anxious to know how we are going il out here. I got your message to Congress, and their first three days’ doing*, and that’* the the last I’ve hearn. When llbuud the Whigs had tairly carried the House I see in a moment there was a bad time ahead tor us.— Says I, look out lor squalls; the old ship will have a rough time of it this winter. 1 hnd a good mind to come right home to help sum hy the helm, for 1 knew you would need me.| But then 1 sec at once tliat wouldn't do for our officers have a dreadful snarl here,and 1 should’m dare to leave till things is settled, for fear the annexiu would ail go hack again, and we should lose our two yeurs’ work. Boas i can’t come—all 1 can do is to give my notions about things a little by way of advice. 1 see how ’twill be ; tfie House wil be quarreii ig with you all winter they’ll be asking you all the hard ques tions they cun tliuik of, and all the tune prying into your secrets about tlie war and annexin. Audi don’t be lieve the Senate will be* a copper letter. Tis true there nmtso ninny Whigs there but there’s them there that is f ilia* had You never can do any thing with Mr. Cal houn, you know he always splits every thing in two even to a hair, and the most he'll ever do for u* about this annexin busineas will be to spin off a little piece of Mexico. If he fimls out we ure annexin tne whole of it, he'll fight agin u* till all is blue. Then there's Col. Bunion, 1 don’t think is a whit better than Mr. Calhoun. You don't know what a fuss he made when we took in Texas, because we sot out to take iu a little strip of Mex ico with it only a reasonable strip, too, jest on our side of the liver, so a* to make square work ofit. Col. Ben ton’s ebenezer was right up about it; he said it <! 1 n’t belong to u*. and it didn't belong to T‘xa* and wu had no right to it, and shouldn't : . <ch it. Now if he lias made such abi < about thntli"!” Hp u- side of the river, lie'll be likely to raise Ned and turn up Jack if he finds out we have a notion of aum xin the whole of Mexico. And he's a terrible enemy to have, I can tell you ; l don’t believe there's another man in the coun try that cm look down opposition equal to him. Now with such men n* these in the Senate, beside all the thunder of YY'ebstcr, and all the persusdin ofCrittendeti, how are you going to get along ! t think there's tio way lor us to gut along nnfr- hut to keep such men in the dark. Keep coaxing tlie money out of cin to conquer n piece, hut never let em mistrust that wa intend to conquer the whole.
