Here In the room where oft I sit, And where I weave my webs, or knit The thoughts that corns into tbo mind, When that Imagination's kind. At times I'm startled at the way Surroundings with one's thoughts have play. Even the tapestry on the wall, That days we hardly note at alt, Shows to one's moods a difference A something almost kin to sense Reflecting, like a looking glass. Much that within the mind may pass. When the world seems to be my Mend, And nothing happens to offend, The tapestry looks of pattern prim, As It 'twould never show a whim; Of placid outline, debonair, To breed contentment anywhere. But let. Instead, things go awry. Which ever to avoid I try, Fiends from therein look out at me, And hold unnatural jollity, Enlarging parts that hardly hint Of form and face, and fleshly tint. Into queer shapes that broadly grin. And add unto what's 111 within. Edward 8. Creamer LINA FENTON'S LOVER. It was Christmas time in St. Giles' workhouse, and there was qulto a large party of us engaged in waiting on tho old people and in administering to their creaturo comforts. Wo gave them a sort of entertainment of forward songa, reci tations, some amateur conjuring ond In strumental music. After the dinner came tho entertainment, and just before the entertainment an ounce of tobacco or snuff, whlchover they pleased, was presented to caoli inmate. As I handed the tray containing the little packet ha stretched out a shaking hand and thank ed me in a voice which seemed familiar. "I think we must have met before, m v friend," I said. "Lor bless you, Mr, Nibbsl" said he. "I used to see you 'most every night be fore my misfortune; my misfortune has brought me here," he added wearily. "1 don t remember your face," I an swered, and yet I seemed to have seen it before. "My faco is about all that Is left of me," ho replied, and then he did a very extraordinary thing ho blew out his cheeks, he screwed up his mouth, his eyes seemed nearly to start from hia head, and his scalp, whloh was covered with scanty locks of gray hair, began to work up and down with a sort of me chanical movement, and then he uttered the extraordinary words, "Here we are again!" "Good gracious!" said I; "why, its Mollno." "That's me, sir," ho said, "or what's left of me." I got rid of my tray of tobacco and snuff and then I coma back to the old man. Eo wasn't on old man in years, but he looked 70 at the least.- We had been rivals once, Mollno and I. When I first began writing for tho stago, and I began at 20, 1 did a good many things for tho "Bird of Prey." I was clad to write a comio song for a guinea. I knew what poverty was, but I was per fectly happy, for I was in love with an angel. And so was Molino. 1 was a no body, an outsider, "a mug." HV was somebody, for he was "the great little Molino," the celebrated down, and of us two she certainly preferred Molina There was no doubt about her preference, for she was engaged to be married to him; and then, knowing how the cose stood, I, as an honest man, gave up my suit. And then I lost sight of her for some years, and Molino dropped out of my memory altogether. She was certainly the most graceful dancer I have ever seen. The school of dancing at the "Bird of Prey" used to be qulto an-insti-tution, and it was a tradition there thai tho best dancer always played Columbus at Christmas. Talk about the poetry of motion talk about aerial grace and rhythmic movement. Never before nor since have I seen such dancing as Llna's, and I don't believe I ever shall if I live to be a hundred. Other people thoueht so. too, and they didn't keep Lina Fenton long at the "Bird of Prey." She came to the West End. She played at the Peristyle, sho got a speaking part, sho rose to be tho stock chambermaid of the establishment; then sho made a hit in melodrama; then she married a million aire; then her millionaire smashed up. and Lina Fenton now plays aristocratic old woman and honestly earns her 600 a year. But ut the time I am speaking of Lina Fenton was not an old woman; she was, I repeat, an angel. I thought so. Molino thought so, and so did the British public. "You heard how I came to grief, sir, I suppose?" he said. "It was along of beer." "Why, you was a most sober man," 1 remarked. "Aye," he replied. "Barley water was my drink In those days, sir, A clown don't do much good unless he is a sober man; but lt wasn't the beer I drank, sir, that settled me; lt was the beer I bad to give to other people. Clowning was a very different thing in those days, sir, wasn't it? Why, thero wasn t a bouse in London as didn't run its pantomime; and it was the comio business they went to see, sir, then, and not the ballets and the processions and the gentlemen and ladies from the musio halls. They used to go to hear me sing Hot Codllns' and 'Tippety Witcliet;' aye, and I got a treble encore for 'em every night, too, as you know, sir, Where are tho clowns gone to nowadays, sir? I con tell you," he said, in a solemn whisper: "to the workua, sir; that where they're gone. Why, there's three on us here. It's the musio halls that did it. If the public sees clowning all the year round there, and uncommonly bad clowning, too, they don't want to see it at Christmas, and that s the secret. don't suppose there was a happier man in the whole profession," he continued sadly, "than I was when I was playing in 'Harlequin Fe-fo-fum' I had saved money, I had furnished a little house in Hoxton, and we were to be married in a week, Lina and I. The pantomime had only three more nights to run, and 'Luke, the Laborer,' and 'The Murder at the Ked Barn' were billed for the fol lowing Monday. I had a big jump through a clock face in the seoond scene of the harlequinade, I was very proud or my jumps; they were longer and higher than those of any other man in the profession. There was no fakement, no hidden spring board or dodgery about it. I took an honest run from the foot lights, and I used to go clean through that clock face, though it was seven feet from the ground, head first every night; and four supers used to catch me in a blanket the other side. She was on at the time; for when I had taken my jump, which always brought down the House, she used to dance the ' Versovi ana,' which was a nw thing then, with old Brown, the harlequin. The beer for tne supers usoa to 00 a pretty neavy tar, and if ono didn't pay tor it it meant get- ling Knocked about or breaking one's neck. My four chaps were always protty particular, for they got their beer money regularly. If 1 hadn't been quite so liberal lt would have been better- for me. That night, sir, those four minora were stupidly drunk. I took mv iunin. nnd as I flow through tho clock faoo I heard the beginning of the tremendous shout which enrao from tho front of the house; nnd then, Instead of being caught In tho blanket, I shot head first into tho brick wallat the end of tho theater. Those four Chaps had forgotten all about me and were talking together, with the blanket In their hands; because, as I tell you, thoy were stupid drunk. It wasn't till three Weeks afterward that I came to myself: and then I was in a bed In Bartholomew's hospital, and I was ugnt neaaea and as weak as a child. The noxt day was Wednesday. Wednes day is visitors' day at tho hospital, nnd una, atie came to see me; and she sat by my bedside, and she cried as though her heart would break. And then she told mo how it all happened; and how she loved mo; and howl must make hastoto got well, that we might get married, as we wero under engagement to do; and then she cried fit to break hor heart. She looked prettier than ever, poor thing! And overy Wednesday she'd come nnd try to cheer me up, and say how hard it was that our wedding had to be put off. She was a good girl, she was. "But our marriago was put off for good and all; for I was a cripple a cripple for llfo, mind you, and as weak us a child, My memory came back right enough. But how was I to get my living ns a clown, when I was only a miserable crip ple; it was 1 wno broke oil our engage ment, sir; for it wouldn't have been fair on Lina to have held her to hor word. People used to say that Lina had chucked mo over, anil that she was a heartless minx. But I did it, sir, because I hadn't tho heart to hold her to it, and auy hon est man would have done the samo. They were very good to me at the 'Bird,' nnd they gave me a check taker's billet at fif teen bob a week, and I kept that billet for nigh on twenty years. I used to get a look at The Era, and week by week I read how Lina Fenton got on, and how she got to the vory top of tire tree. I used to out out the favorable notices and paste 'cm in a book; and I was as pniud of 'em. sir, as if it had been my own. And then the 'Bird' was Bold, as vou know; and that was how I lost my billet, for the Salvation army didn't want to pay any money to the likes o' me; and than I came on here. And that's my story, Mr. Nibbs." I never saw Molino again. I often met Lina aftorward. She was always affa ble and nice; and, somehow or other, one always has a sort of sneaking tenderness for ono s tint love; and, though sho 11 much over 40 and I am tho possessor of a handsome wife and half a dozen children, I shall think Lina Fenton the fairest nd most fascinating woman whom lt has ever been my good-fortune to meet. Her magnificent golden hair is streaked with gray now; the soft blue oyos are not per haps so bright as they wero once, but she is a charming woman Btill. Chicago I ler-aid. The Chestnut Crop, "Those wo get hore," said a commis sion merchant, "are the Virginia nuts, thoy aro the linear and largest of all, though possibly the ones grown in New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts have an even sweeter flavor. The latter, however, are smaller. The great chest nut producing area of Virginia Includes portions of Rappahannock, Green, Nel son, Madison and Amherst counties, up to the foothills on the south side of the Blue Ridge. Tho nuts are mostly picked by children, from whom they are bought by the country grocers and traders, who in turn sell them to tho wholesale men like ourselves, on commission or other wise. Enormous quantities of them are sent to Norfolk, where they are pabsed over long sieves, with small holes nt tbo beginning and bigger ones further on, by which they aro assorted according to size, to bo subsequently scaled in prloo, accordingly, for sale to the jobber, who sells by the bag to the retailer." "Is not the Alleghany, region a great producing center of chestnuts?" "Yes, indeed. It is from that quarter that the west and north nre chiefly sup plied. Chestnuts can be transported thence more promptly than from Vir ginia to Chicago, which is the maiu dis tributing center for the northwest. But when tho Alleghany crop fails Chicago sends its buyers to Norfolk, "and prices rise with the demand for the Virginia product. The crop in Massachusetts and New Hampshire is becoming less every year, owing to the reckless way in which tho trees are being cut down." Wash ington Star. A Mixed Qautlon. "Where is that umbrella I loaned you?" said Smith. "Why, I loaned it to Robinson, and he says you found it and that it belongs to him, replied Brown. "So it does. He says I've gt to give It back to min or buy him another, "But he's got his umbrella." "I know tliat, but he says I'm resjion sibleforit. And so I will have to Jook to you." "Well, I'll have to look to Robinson. But it's his umbrella and he won't give it up." Here they turned tho corner, and the world will never know just how the question was settled. Merchant Traveler. NEVER FORGET, That the fairest flowers fade the soonest. That knowledge leaves no room tor chances. That pride is never so offensive as when in chains. That wheu men are lonely they stoop to any compamousnlp. That the darkest cloud often contains thi most fruitful showers. That the pure worship of a pure heart Is an uupuiatlon and song. That there may be loyalty without love, but never love without loyalty. That a golden key will often find the way to unlock many a secret drawer. That death is a sleepless messenger, and llf a wakeful handmaid of creation. That the finest feeling velvety paws of a kitten often cover the sharpest claws. That "doing ss well as you know how" is all right if you always know how to do waU. That it is often more difficult to obliterate traces of spilled ink than drops of spilled blood. That those who are bonect and earnest In their honesty have no need to proclaim tha fact. That It may be well to test th condition of a cat's claws before stroking its fur tho wrong way.
