ANECDOTAL LITERATURE.
Contributed to the Independent
by W. G.

Baltimore is memorable 10 me-"
said Willis Gaylord Clark" for in
that city of monuments | had well
nigh lost my life. That spice of the
adventurous which has accompanied
me from my earliest days, led me TO
ascend the long ladder, said to have
been some seventy feet high, placed
on the outside oil the great dome OF
the cathedral, then undergoing re-
pairs. The upward distance lent an
enchantment to my eye which was
irresistible. | iancied that the view
from the topmost round of those
tapering ladders, tied together with
ropes, would be magnificent.
II was not disappointed. The
bay melted afar in the iris-blue Of
air-that golden edging, which
hangs over forest tops and waters is
summer, whose tremulousness makes
the eye ache with gazing, and
fills the heart with happy aud ether
ial feelings. Landward, the country
spreads highly around, seward with
brown roads, and fading afar into
apparent ridges and swells of cedar
green.
cit was calm and cheerful day,
and every object in unison one with
another. The air was rariiied and
sweet; the last odor of the latest
flowers Of simmer seemed floating
by in the sunshine, and / fancied
that the voices of summer birds, TAX
ing their fayewells for distant chimes
we're ningling with them. The
shipping in the harbor sent every
pennon to tue gale; the fiagstafis
waved their signals; aud, what with
the fresh breeze and the beauty OF
the morning, 1t really seemed gala
day.
After having fed my eyes with
the beauty of the scene from the ex-
treme height of the ladder, the
voices of the workmen in the cupola
or on the balustrade above, making
q pleasant hum in my ear, / pre-
pared to descend. But the moment
| looked towards the earth, dizzi-
ness came upon me which almost led
me to instantaneous self-abandon-
ment. My brain recled, my eyes
grew dim, sleepy sensation orept
over me, the whole cathedral SEEM
cd TO recede from my gaze, and for
a moment seemed as il sailing in
the air. l had not descended more
than dozen rounds, when my tot
tering steps and trembling hands
really seemed to refuse their office.
My sickness increased, and Lam
guor cfept over my perceptions, like
the effect of an anodyne. / felt N.Y.
self absolutely becoming Indifferent
to my peril, though l knew It we'll.
| was, in truth, as If 10 a dream; and
l can safely aver that i felt myself
losing all consciousness, when /
heard one of the laborers above say,
and the words came to my car as il
from the supernatural lips of
spirit, "My God! that young gem
tleman is going to falli"
"This sentence went like fire TO
my brain, and rolled like a flood OF
lava over every nerve. 1t restored
me instantly to full perception Of
my course. l grasped the rounds
OF the ladder with the firmness
which a drowning man exhibits
when clutchiDg, in the bubbling
groan Of bis last agony, at the sIend-
crest spar. Every football shook
the ladder from end to end; and
when / touched the ground, / felt
precisely as If rescued from the
grave
