ClOe to Clara:-A Saratoga Letter
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

BY JOHN c. SAKE. Dear Clara;-I wish you were here;
 The prettlest spot upon earth, Wlth everything charming, my dear,- Beaux, badinage, music and mirth! Such rows ef magnificent trees,
 Overhanging such beautiful walkf Where lovers may stroll, if they please, And indulge in the sweetest of talksi We go every morning, like geese,
 To drink at the favorite Spring: Six tumblers of water a-piece.
 Is simply the regular thing; For such is its wonderful yirtue
 Though rather unpleasant at first, No quantity ever can hurt you,
 Unless you should happen to burst! And then what gossping sight! -, w hat talk about William and Harry; How Julia was spending last night;
 And tohy Miss Morton should marry! Dear Clara, Eve happened to see
 Full many tea table slaughter, But really, scandal with tea
 Is nothing to scandal with water! Apyqpos of the Sprng-have you heard He qu'Z or d gentleman here On pompous M. c. who averred
 That the name was remarkably queer? 1.-The Spring,--to keep it from falling,- With wood is encompassed about, And derives from its permanent railinq The title of Congress no doubt!, 'Tis pleasant to guess at the reason The genuine motive which brings Such all-sorts of folks, in the season, To stop few days al the Springs Some come to partake of the waters, (The sensible, old fashioned elves,) Some come to dispose of their daughters, And some to dispose of-themselvesl Some come to exhibit their faces
 To new and admiring beholders; Some come to exhibit their graces,
 And some to exhibit their shoulders; Some come to make people stare
 At the elegant dresses they've got; Some to show what lady may wear \ And, perhaps,-what lady should not! Some come to squander their treasure. And some their funds to improve; And some for mere love of pleasure; And some.for the pleasure of love; And some to escape from the old,
 And some to see what is new; But most--it is plain to be told
 Come here--because other folks do! And that, I suppose, is the reason
 Why Tam enjoying, to-day, Whats called "the height of the season" In rather the loftest way Good bye-for now 1 must stop To Charley's command I resi- ign,- Pm his for the regular hop"
 But ever most tenderly thine, CLoE.
