NV FI It-I I.oVK.
At sixteen an immense crises occurred in
my life. 1 foil in lore. I hud l>een in lore
several times before—childly with the eld
er pupils at the Mias Andrews’ establish
ment, and once (but that was when I was
very young, indeed) with the cook. This,
however, was a much romantic and des
perate affair. The lady was a columbine
by profession, and as beautiful as an an
gel. the came down to our neighborhood
with a strolling company, aud performed
every evening in a temporary theatre on
the green for nearly three weeks. I used
to steal out alter dinner, when my father
was taking his nap, and run the whole
way, that 1 might he in time to see the
object of my adoration walking up and
down the platform outside the booth be
fore the performances commenced. This
imcomparable creature wore a blue pet
ticoat, spangled with tinfoil, anil a
wreath of faded poppies. Her age might
have been about forty. I thought her
the loveliest of created beings. 1 wrote
sonnets to her —dozens of them —intend
ing to leave them at the theatre door, but
never finding the courage to do it. I made
up bouquets for her over and over again,
chosen from the best llowerß in our neg
lected garden, but invariably with the
same result. I bated the harlequin, who
f resumed to put his arm about her waist.
envied the clown, whom she condescen
ded to address as Mr. Merriman. In short,
T was so desperately in love that I even
tried to lie awake at night and lose my
appetite; but, lam ashamed to own, fail
ed signally in both endeavors.
At length I wrote to her. I can even
uow recall passages out of that passionate
epistle. I well remember how it took me
a whole morning to write it; how I cram
med It with quotations from Horace; and
how I fondly compared her to most of
the mythologcial divinities. I then cop
ied it out on pale pink paper, folded it in
the form of a heart, directed it to Miss
Angelina Lascelles, and left it,about dusk,
with the money-taker at the pit door. I
signed myself, if I remember rightly, Pyr
amus. What would I not have given that
evening to pay my sixpence like the rest
of the audience, and feast my eyes upon
her from some obscure corner? What
would I not have given to add my quota
to the applause?
I could hardly sleep that night; I could
hardly read or write, or eat my breakfast
the next morning, for thinking of my let
ter aud its probable effect. It never once
occurred to me that my Angelina might
possibly find it difficult to construe Hor
ace. Toward evening I escaped again,
and flaw to Barnard’s Green. It wanted
nearly an hour to the time of perform
ance, but the tuning of a violin was audi
ble from within, and the money-taker
was already there with his pipe in his
mouth and his hands in his pockets. I
had no courage to address that function
ary; but I lingered in his sight audibly,
and wandered round and round the can
vass walls that hedged my divinity,
Preseatly he took his pipe out of his
mouth, and his hands out his pockets,
surveyed me deliberately from head to
foot’'and said !
“Hollo, there? ain't you the party that
brought a three-cornered letter here last
evening?”
I owned it, falteringly.
He lilted a fold in the canvass, and gave
me a gentle shove between the shoulders.
“Then you’re to go in,” said he, shortly'.
“She’s there, somewhere. You’re to find
her.”
The canvas dropped behind me, and I
found myself inside. My heart beat so
fast that I could scarcely breathe. The
booth was almost dark, the curtain was
down, and a gentleman with striped legs
was lighitng the foollamps. On the front
pit bench, next the orchestra, discussing a
plate of bread and meat and the contents
of a brown jug, sat a stout man in shirt
sleeves aud a woman in a cotton gown.
The woman rose as I made my appear
ance, and asked, civilly enough, whom 1
pleased to want.
I stammered the name of Miss Angeli
na Lascelles.
“Miss Lascelles,” she repeated. “I am
Miss Lascelles.” Then, looking at me
wore narrowly, “I suppose,” she added,
‘•you are the little boy that brought the
letter?’
The little boy that brought the letter!
Gracious heavensl And this middle-aged
woman in a cotton gown—was she the
Angelina of my dreams? The booth went
round with me, and the lights danced be
fore my eyes.
“If you have come for an answer,” she
continued, “you may just say to Mr.
Pyramid that I am a respectable married
woman, and he ought to be ashamed of
himself; and as for the letter, I never read
such a heap of nonsense in my life! There,
you can go out by the way you came in;
and if you take my advice, you won’t
come back again.” wo.
How I looked, what I said, a,.%c-now I
made my exit, whether the doorkeeper
spoke to me as I passed, I have no idea
to this day. I only know that I flung
myself on the dewy grass under a gieut
tree in the first field I came to, and shed
tears of such shame, disappointment,
and wounded pride as my eyes had never
known before. She had called me a lit
tle bey and my letter a heap of nonsense!
She was elderly—she was ignorant—she
was married! I had been a fool; but that
knowledge came too late, and was not
consolatory.
By-and-by, while I was yet sobbing and
disconsolate, I heard the drumming and
fifing which heralded (he appearance of
the corps dramntique on the outer plat
form. I resolved to see her for the last
time. I pulled my hat over my eyes,
went hack to the green, and mingled with
the crowd outside the booth It was
growiog dusk. I made my way to the
foot of the ladder and observed her nar
rowly. I saw that her ankles were thick
and her elbow red. The illusion was all
over. The spangles had lost their lustre
and the poppies their glow. Ino longer
hated the harlequin, <y envied the clown,
or felt anythihg but mortification at my
own folly.
“Miss Angelina Lascelles, indeed 1” I
said to myself, as I sauntered moodily
home. "Pshaw ! I shouldn’t wonder if
her name was Snooks!” — Home Journal.
Dr. Hchenck’s standard Remedies.
The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lunge are Sehenck’s Pulmonic Syr
up, Schenck’B Sea Weed Tonic, and
bchenck’s Mandrake Pitls, and if taken
before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unri
valled success ia the treatment of pulmo
nary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the mordid
matter in the lungs; nature throws it off
by an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough
will throw it off, the patient has rest and
the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Sehenck's Mandrake Pills and Sehenck's
Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s
Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
ail obstructions, relax the gall bladder,
the bile starts freely, and the liver is re
lieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle
stimulant and alterative; the alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the food
and prevents souring. It assists the di
gestion ky toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition; so that the food and
the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood, then the lungs heal, and the patient
will surety get well if care is taken to pre
vent fresh Cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck,
either person ally or by letter, can do so at
his principal office, corner of Sixth and
Arch, streets, Philadelphia, every Mon
day.
Sehenc’ks Medicines are sold by all
druggists throughout the country.
