I'll Should Die To might J..
III should die Tonight

III should die tonight
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair
And, laying snow-white flowers against my hair,
Would smooth it down with fearful tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress.
Poor hands, SO empty and SO cold tonight
If should die tonight
Ny friends would call to mind, with loving
thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought;
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said !;
Errands on which the willing feet had sped;
The memory of my sefshness and pride,
My hasty words, would all be put aside,
And so should be loved and mourned tonight.
If should die tonight,
Even hearts estranged would turn once more
to me,
Recalling other days remorsefully.
The eyes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as of yore, perchance,
And soften, in the old familiar way
For who could war with dumb, unconscious clay
So might rest, forgiven Of all, tonight
Oh, friends, pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow.
The way is lonely, let me feel them now
Think gently Of me; am travel-worn;
My faltering feet are pierced with many a thorn.
Forgive, oh, hearts estranged, forgive plead!
When dreamless rest is mine shall not need
The tenderness for which l long tonight.

Bathing Extraordinary.

Reader, did you evertake Russian bathf
No! Well, just step with me into this
quiet old fashioned looking house on Fourth
street, which has an air of staid respecta-
bility lingering about it-a "reminiscences of
the worthy and digni6ed Van Renesalaers
or Cortlandts who once lived there.
AT the end of the main hall as you enter
from the street is little Office where you
leave your watch and pocket-book, if yeu
possess such luxuries, and where you will
receive the ticket that is "good ior one
bath" Adjoining this hall is the parlor,
where bathers lounge about on couches or in
easy chairs, after their lavatorial exercises,
and smoke their cigars or read the maya
zines and papers. You will notice that the
furniture is elegant and Injurious, that the
walls are adorned with attractive works of
art that song birds make the air melodious
with their ringing voices, and that the entire
place is pervaded with an air of comfort and
serenity.
Now we will pass down stairs to the
dressingrooms or undressing-rooms, as the
case may be, though, if you prefer it, there
are more exclusive rooms just off from the
parlors for the regular ha6itues of the place,
among whom, it is to be supposed, you will
soon be numbered.
Here is the first hot room, looking as
bright and as fresh as daisy, with its new
ly-painted frescoes and white marble couch
es. There is the plunge bath, in which the
water is continually changing, and in this
corner are the needle and heavy douches,
which you will find wonderfully refreshing
when you have been steamed for about half
an hour.
But the temperature here is too low for
people rejoicing in good health, and to get
the full effects of the bath; let US step into
the next apartment.
Whew. what cloud of binding steam.
Don't shrink back it won't hurt you.
There Isn't it pleasant? Stretch your
self out on this marble slab, with a wet
sponge under your head, and give yourself
up to the delightful day dreams that can
only be perfectly enjoyed under such cir
cumstanceS.
Now we go under the hands Of the Draw
ny German, who passes the greater part of
his time in the red-hot steam and seems to
grow fat on it. The soap and the scrubbing
brush are effective, and the skin feels as
light and airy after this gentle persuasion as
an old sieve with the bottom knocked out.
In this passage-way are more douches and
sitz bad, some of which we will try, and
then take jump into the great plunge in
the hottest room. This prepares US for the
shampooers, who dry and rub and pull and
haul US, until our joints work as easily as
well-worn slipper. After this, little doze
in the parlors and we are ready for the
street.
Could anything be more refreshing?-
Don't you feel invigorated and restored, and
and altogether light-hearted, after the ex-
periences of the past hour? These are the
characteristic effects of Russian bath as
administered in Fourth street, and if you
don't believe it, you have only to undergo
the treatment in reality instead of in imag-
ination to he convinced.-N. z. Euening

Scene in Ohio smoking-car. Enter wom-
an with poodle-dog. Deposits her compan-
ion on one seat, turns another seat, and sits
facing the canine. Conductor soon appears,
and advises her to find accommodations in
another car which is not devoted to smok
ers. She prefers to remain, saying her
presence would deter the occupants from
the use ofthe weed. Gentleman in front Of
her presently produces cigar, and COM
mences putting. The woman becomgs az

meDt she wrests the cigar from his mouth
and throws it out the window, exclaiming,

with laughter. Insulted gentleman ia imper-
turbably grave. He calmly rises, reaches
over the seat, takes the poodle by the neck,
throws it out the window as far as possible,

The following comes from the Springfield
Union: A gentleman of Boston had a SON.
in-law who was a preacher. he secured
his settlement over one Of the city churches.
He was a feeble preacher, and the congre-
CATION soon tired of him, and parish meet
ing was called for change. The parish
voted by pews, and there was one majority
for retaining the pastor. Upon inquiry it
was ascertained that the thrifty father-in-law
had bought up all the cheap pews in the gal
lery and elsewhere, and had actually secured
a majority of votes. A committee waited
on Mr.. A. and demonstrated with him on
keeping preacher in the pulpit go distaste-
full to the congregation. He replied: Gen
tlemen, l know my son-in-law is not much
of preacher, but my position is purely
business one. l have got him on my hands
with my daughter, and must support him.
All the assistance get out Of you, gentle
men, is 80 much clear gain"

There is probably a great deal of truth in
the following extract from DR.. Halls Jour-
nal Of Health: "The universal error as to
the unhealthiness Of pies, buildings and pas
tries, taking it for granted that they are well
made and properly cooked, has risen from
the simple fact that after we have made a
full meal of other things the stomach is op-
pressed by them, and if the process is re-
peated becomes eventually dyspeptic; that
Is, has not the-power to work up the food
because it had been worked to death already.
1t would be quite as philosophical if man
has become very tired by plowing all day
and afterward by chopping wood has work
ed himself out to conclude that it was very
unhealthy to chop"

SENT HcNE.-A Washington paper tells
CT an elegantly-dressed, young lady who
went into one of the dry goods stores. on
Pennsylvania avenue, bought spool of cot
ton, and requested the proprietor to have it
sent home. Overwhelmed with the impor-
tant duty SO suddenly thrust upon him, he
Immediately procured an express wagon and
detailed clerk, who lifting the spool into
the wagon, drove with it to the residence Of
the young lady, and dismounting, rang the
bell, and when the door was opened, placed
the spool upon his shoulder and carried it
into the hall and gently placedit on end,
as if it had been a barrel Of flour, and then
retired. The CONSERVATION Of the family
can be imagined. The head of the house
has been dodging in and out Of the dry
goods stores during the past week trying to
| find that clerk.

THE SUM .ASE3 SUBSTANCE
OFSJCCESSECEFRUET OF CUL-
TURE.

The most important items in
fruit rnlture are:
l. Thorough and perfect drain
age either natural or artificial.
2. Proper preparation Of the soil
for planting; clean after cultivation
and constant care OF orchards.
3. Regular manuring ofthe trees
for the first three or four years;
unless the natura! fertility Of the
soil is sufficient.
4. Mulching sh How soils under
trees, with shallow culture for
such soils to Protect the roots
from drought in i:e one case, ;ln
their dcstruf tion hy the pillow a"H
spade in the other; as in such soils,
ihrroots lie near the surface and al
80 require more space TO travel IN
search ot food.
5. Deeper blowing and stirring
Nucre the soil is rich and deep
with no mulchiug beneath the
trees.
6. Train according to the habit
ct the tree, without material DIS
turbance Of large limbs.
Z. The advantages derived from
scrapiug apples trees are very
great. This operation should not
be neglected in winter or spring:
the improved appearance and con-
dilion Of the trees will rev ard the
labor; and it is probable that many
insects will be destroyed-at least
their barhoring places will. A
dra wing knife is a good implement
for this work-use the back vi
knife. After scraping use strong
wash Of soapsuds. For very
young trees use only the soapsudS
and not too strong.
s. The best implement to use i'm
mediatcly under the trees is the
garden or spadtng fork. 1t breaks
the soil wei! and does but little IN.
jury to the roots.
