We spent two days at Heidelberg, climbing the wooded mountains that surround that pleasant little town, and that afford, from their restaurant or ruin crowned summits, enchanting, far stretching views, through which, with many a turn and twist, the distant Rhine and nearer Neckar wind; or strolling among the crumbling walls and arches of the grand, history logged wreck that was once the noblest castle in all Germany. We stood in awed admiration before the "Great Tun," which is the chief object of interest in Heidelberg.

nd to the back of him, he drops half of it into the water, and from that moment the bathroom is not big enough to enable him to get away for an instant from that wet half. When he is wiping the front of himself with the dry half, the wet half climbs round behind, and, in a spirit of offensive familiarity, slaps him on the back. While he is stooping down rubbing his feet, it throws itself with delirious joy around his head, and he is black in the face before he can struggle away from its embrace. When he is least expecting anything of the kind, it flies round and gives him a playful flick upon some particularly tender part of his body that sends him springing with a yell ten feet up into the air. The great delight of the sheet, as a whole, is to trip him up whenever he attempts to move, so as to hear what he says when he sits down suddenly on the stone floor; and if it can throw him into the bath again just as he has finished wiping himself, it feels that life is worth living after all. O GET THE THING ROUND TO THE BACK OF HIM HE DROPS HALF OF IT INTO THE WATER AND FROM THAT MOMENT THE BATHROOM IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO ENABLE HIM TO GET AWAY FOR AN INSTANT FROM THAT WET HALF WHEN HE IS WIPING THE FRONT OF HIMSELF WITH THE DRY HALF THE WET HALF CLIMBS ROUND BEHIND AND IN A SPIRIT OF OFFENSIVE FAMILIARITY SLAPS HIM ON THE BACK WHILE HE IS STOOPING DOWN RUBBING HIS FEET IT THROWS ITSELF WITH DELIRIOUS JOY AROUND HIS HEAD AND HE IS BLACK IN THE FACE BEFORE HE CAN STRUGGLE AWAY FROM ITS EMBRACE WHEN HE IS LEAST EXPECTING ANYTHING OF THE KIND IT FLIES ROUND AND GIVES HIM A PLAYFUL FLICK UPON SOME PARTICULARLY TENDER PART OF HIS BODY THAT SENDS HIM SPRINGING WITH A YELL TEN FEET UP INTO THE AIR THE GREAT DELIGHT OF THE SHEET AS A WHOLE IS TO TRIP HIM UP WHENEVER HE ATTEMPTS TO MOVE SO AS TO HEAR WHAT HE SAYS WHEN HE SITS DOWN SUDDENLY ON THE STONE FLOOR AND IF IT CAN THROW HIM INTO THE BATH AGAIN JUST AS HE HAS FINISHED WIPING HIMSELF IT FEELS THAT LIFE IS WORTH LIVING AFTER ALL
