BATHING.

BATHING is essential to health and happiness. A man rises in the scale of respectability after a bath. He feels grander and greater; and I am not sure but what the same might be said of a nation. Would it be too much to say that Rome owed her greatness to her public baths? Undoubtedly they had their influence in stimulating the nerve centers of the exquisite patrician, till he felt himself almost a god when compared to the neighboring barbarian. Had Rome been as attentive to her morals as she was to personal charms, the nineteenth century would have seen that great empire still intact.—New Remedies.
