TAPESTRIES.
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.

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

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.

that naturally, patiently and easily put forth
manipulating activity.

ically indisposed to heavy or continuous labor.

rapidity of motion, but with little muscular
strength, and one of a warmly sympathetic
disposition.
