THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

PAGANINI’S OLD SABOT.

Continued.

■ One morning Louisette came in as usual, but all her gaiety was, gone. The musician, who was busy carving out a paper-knife from a block of ivory, saw at once that something was amiss. “Why, Louisette, my child, what is the matter '! I can see by your red eyes that you have been crying. What has hap pened ? ” “ Something dreadful, sir.”

“ Nothing so dreadful that'it can’t be got over, I suppose.” ‘•Well, sir, I don’t know; I hardly like to ”

Paganini fixed his eyes full upon poor Louisette’s face. “ Ah,” said he, without removing them, “ I can guess what is the matter with you. A love affair, I suppose. ” Louisette did not answer, She only blushed very deeply, and that was quite sufficient for Paganini. “ Come now, my poor child, tell me all about it. Perhaps I shall be able to do something for you. ” Louisette dried her eyes the end of her little apron. “ Well, Louisette,” continued he, “is it the old htory 1 Broken promises, faith less swain, and pretty Louisette in tears —is that it ! ” “ Poor Henri,” sighed Lcuisette. “Yes, sir, he has left mo, but it was not his fault, poor boy.” “How so?” “ Henri has just turned twenty-one, sir, and ho was obliged to draw for the conscription. He drew an unlucky num ber, they have taken him away, and now he is miles and miles from here on guard at Lille, with a musket across his shoulder. This is grief enough for a poor girl, is it not, sir ? But what can Ido ?” “ Can’t you get a substitute Poor Louisette smiled sadly. “You are laughing at a poor girl,” said she. “A substitute! How can I afford that ?” “How much would it cost ?” “ Oh, ever so much this year, as there is a chance of war. I could not get any one under fifteen hundred francs. 1 Paganini took Louisette’s hand in his, and pressed it affectionately. “If that is all, Louisette,” said he, “you may dry your tears. I’ll get you fifteen hundred somehow or other ; trust in me, and we” will see what can be done.” When he had said this, Paganini made a note on his tablets. This is what he wrote ;—“Remember to give a concert for Louisette and her lover. ” Time slipped away and winter came. Towards the end of November, Paga nini’s doctor said to'him, in reply to his question as to when he might go into the world again— “We must not undo all the good we have done. I can’t think of letting you go away from here fill the spring.” “Very well, doctor,” said the artist, “I suppose I must obey.” Paganini ’ continued to live the same humdrum sort of existence. He mixed no more than he had ever done with the other inhabitants of the Villa, and

Louisette’s conversation was still is only

amusement, His’promise to the poor girl in the matter of the fifteen hundred francs was still constantly in his mind, and he determined that the very first moment he could dependjipon his strength, he would carry out his project. “ In the course of the winter I shall be able to manage it,” thought he; “about January or February I will get .them to advertise a concert.”

Time wore on, and Christmas Eve came with its kindly glow of charitable thoughts and happy faces. All was much the same

at the Villa Lutsetiana. Indeed, in some respects, when at such a season of the

year there might well have been some im provement, none was at all visible. The old ladies gossiped as much as ever over their coffee in the drawing-room, and were hardly more charitable than when they were first introduced to us. In France there is a charming custom —not unlike in many respects to a cer ... tain old-stocking English theory—most cherished by children, and held in great veneration by all Parisian families. On Christmas Eve, an old shoe—or, “sabot, ’ as they call those heavy wooden clogs that the peasantry of France delights in—is placed in the chimney-corner when every one retires to bed. The fancy is that when all is hushed and quiet for the night, some good-natured fairy come tripping down the chimney laden with toys, bon bons, and other childish delights, which .are duly deposited in the wooden shoes, all ready to receive them. There are very few French children who do not wake at daybreak on Christmas morning, and scamper bare-footed into the sitting-room, to see,.what the fairies have sent them. Over, their breakfast on the Christmas Eve to which we are now alluding, those charitable old ladies who were so fond of saying spiteful things about Paganini, dis cussed with some vehemence the wooden shoe custom, which was supposed to have been slightly lost sight of. They were evidently hatching some'plot, for they chuckled grimly to one another, and were noticed to leave off talking altogether if any one accidentally approached their charmed coterie. “ You are quite surest is all arranged for this evening 1” said one. “Don’t you fear. Keep your coun tenance, and all will be right,” was the answer. And so the day passed quietly away, and no further allusion was made to the wooden-shoe controversy, the old maids’ plot, or Paganini’s^whims and oddities. After dinner, in the evening, Paganini was sitting in a quiet corner of the draw ing-room that he loved, reading a novel and drinking a cup of coffee. The old maids were at their whist and their scan dal. Suddenly was heard a noise, as of voices in dispute, outside the room, which made the old ladies prick up their ears, but which did not appear to have the slightest effect on Paganini. ‘ ‘ What can all this disturbance be about 1” asked one of the whist party. Liouisctte- here made her appearance, and gave an answer. “Please, ladies,” said she, “a porter has brought a large box, and we don’t know what to do with it. “ Who is it for ?” “ The address is so badly written that ; none of us can tell. ”

‘‘Then you had better bring in the box.’

Louisette, with the assistance of the porter, proceeded to do so. It was a large wooden box, securely fastened, and on it was written in very large letters, “With great care.” Under this direc tion, but in much smaller letters, were the words, “ For M. Kicolo Paganini. ” “What made you say that the address was badly written, Louisette ? ” said a harsh-featured, wizen old lady, a martyr to gout and bad temper. “It is as plain as plain can be. The box •is for our illustrious companion.” Paganini still paid no attention to what was going on. He was intently occupied with his book, and did not heed the old ladies and their tittle-tattle. He started at the sound of Louisette’s voice. She came to his side and spoke to him.

“ Monsieur Paganini, here is a box for

you.” “A box ? What box ? ” “ The box which the porter has just brought in, and which the ladies have been talking about.” “ I heard nothing. Let me see what it is.”

H© swallowed his coffee, and went

towards the porter, who was still standing sentinel over the treasure.

“Where did you br'ng this from!” said Paganini. “From the bureau, sir. I know no thing about it, except that it is said to have been forwarded from Orleans or Lvons. ”

“ That is very strange,” said Paganini ; “I don’t know any one in either town. Who on earth could have sent ? ”

“ Well, that does not so very much matter, monsieur, does it 1” said Louisette softly. “ The box is directed to you so I suppose it is yours. You will take it in, will you not ? ” ‘‘ Certainly, Louisette, and we will see what it contains.”

Paganini paid the porter and dismissed him.

“Shall I take the box tip to your rooms, monsieur ? ” said Louisette, evi dently in a curious frame of mind. “ No, we will open it here,” said Paga nini, looking directly towards the whist party, who appeared to be intent on their game entirely oblivious of Paganini and his box.

The process of opening was easier said than done. After the lid of the box had been wrenched off almost angrily by Paga nini, there was much to be done before the contents were visible. Wadding after wadding of hay was followed by roll upon roll of paper. Each separate” covering of paper was secured by enormous seals and intricate twines of string. “ Well what is it after all that pad ding?” said one of the old ladies who could not conceal her impatience.

There were soill more coverings to be unbound and unsealed before anyone’s cariosity could be gratified. At last the most secure fastening of all was cut, and Paganini held up to the astonished company—a wooden shoe ! ‘‘ Is that all ? ” tittered the old ladies, with an injured air. “We need not have stopped our game for that.” “ Only an old shoe, after all,” sighed Louisette, who ill-concealed her disap pointment. “ Only an old shoe after all,” repeated Paganini, with marked emphasis, and without taking his eyes from the quartette at the whist table. “A very good prac tical joke, no doubt, and one that must have caused its promoters a vast amount of amusement. This present has been sent me as a direct allusion to and a taunt upon my supposed avarice. I can see through it all. A present of a wooden shoe on Christmas Eve is sent to Paganini in order to compare him to the little chil dren who are always asking for presents, and are seldom liberal themselves. It does not require much intelligence to see through this feminine jest. But never mind, the conooctor of this scheme meant me to believe that this box contained a present of great value. He or she, who ever it may be, shall not be disappointed. I tell you, Louisette, and every one here assembled, that not many days shall pass before this old wooden shoe is worth its weight in gold. ” Paganini was strangely excited, and every one in the room looked at him with astonishment. They did not understand what he meant, but they felt somehow that he would keep his word. Three days passed away, and Paganini never appeared in the daytime, or took his accustomed seat in the drawing-room after dinner*.

Louisette was asked the reason, and her answer was that Paganini was not as well as usual, and was obliged to keep his room. Even Louisette did not know ihe real cause of his absence. She had seen him, it is true, hour after hour at work with knife and chisel and the sharpest instruments, and she had heard that at feats of dexterous carpentry the great violinist was without a rival ; but she did not know that by dint of patience and exqusite ingenuity, the old wooden shoe which she had seen taken out of the box on Christmas Eve, was being changed into a violin which in tone and finish would not have discredited Amati.

THE GARDENER.

KOTES FOE THE PRESENT MONTH, BY A PROFESSIONAL GARDENER. APRIL, KITCHEN GARDENING. The principal crops will now he either all sown or planted, and the encourage ment of their growth the object of atten tion ; but, where omitted last month, Onions, Cabbages, Cauliflowers and Turnips should be sown at once, to insure success. If not done before the middle of the month, it is better to defer sowing until spring. Where Brocoli have been planted during summer months, and grown freely, rowers would find it very advantageous to cut the roots, which is easily done by inserting the spade under each plant. For instance, go down one side of the row and come back on the other. Care should be taken not to cut too close to the plant. Brocoli treated as above will resist the frost much better; for by choking its growth at this season it gets hardy as a natural consequence, and will come in ready for use much earlier than it would if not disturbed. Earth up all crops of growing Celery. Care should be taken not to allow the earth'to get in between the leaves, which is done by holding up' the leaves with one hand, while with the other, use a piece of slate or other flat tool to draw the earth carefully round each plant, which keeps all the leaves together until you have followed with the spade and banked up. Care should also be taken not to earth up too much at once, as it only tends to weaken the plants. By treating as directed, say once in ten days, the trouble will be well repaid by the pro duction of fine heads of blanched Celery for either cooking purposes or desert. Make a general clearance of all ground not wanted for present sowing or planting. Dig in in a rough state, so that it will be exposed to the action of the weather. Dig Potatoes ; gather Onions, as they r : pen, and store them in a dry place. Vegetable Marrows and Pumpkins should also be gathered as they ripen, and stored in a dry, warm place for winter use. When properly stored they will keep nearly all winter, and are much prized when such vegetables are scarce. Strawberries may now be planted from the runners. Either make new plots or fill in any blanks in old beds or borders. After selecting plants for all new planta tions, let ail the runners that remain be trimmed off, care being taken not to cut ; off all the leaves, as is too often done not ■ ®nly by amateurs but by persons calling themselves professional men. It is most barbarous treatment, as it tends to weaken the plants and the result—the following summer—is that there will be little or no fruit. Having got the runners and weeds cleared, put a good covering of well decomposed manure over the bed, and let it lie on the surface. Don’t dig it in, as is the general practice. In this way it nourishes the plant at the root and mulches the ground in summer.

FIOWEE GAUDEN'. Plant Bulbs of the following hinds— Hyacinthus, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Liliums, Narcissus, Jonquils, Daffodils, and Tulips —any of the above. For window decoration, plant in pots in a good mixture of loam, rotted manure, and sand. Plunge the pots in sand, and' keep them there until the bulb begins to grow, when it might be removed to where it is required to flower. To those who desire an early display of annual flowers, by a careful reserva tion of those self-sown which abound at this season in great numbers, and sow ing again in spring, the flower garden can be kept going from early spring until late in autumn. All tender plants, such as Geraniums, Cinerarias, Cupheas, etc., that hay© been turned out during summer J

should now be brought in and housed to protect them from frost; and all herbaceous plants that have done flowering cut down, so as to give the garden a neat appearance. THE ORCHARD requires little care at this season, farther than gathering the fruits as they ripen, and keeping the ground clear of weeds, but where young fruit trees have been planted last year the ground should be kept dug round them and free from weeds, as, by keeping the ground loose, it en courages the growth of wood, keeps the trees healthy and better able to resist the attacks of blight. It only too often hap pens that trees are planted, and that once done, they are never looked near again ; and still those to whom the trees belong wonder why their trees do not grow like their neighbors’, who cultivate them in a proper manner. A few trees properly cultivated is much better than a larger number cultivated indifferently.

A“ DVICE TO MOTHERS.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to the chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. It will relieve the poor sufferer . immediately. It is perfectly harmless , it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev- " ing the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as bright as a button.” It has been in use in America, and is - highly recommended by medical men. It 1 is very pleasant to take ; it sooths the child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Be sure and ask for Mrs. .Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and see that “ Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. Ifd. —Depot, 493, Oxford street.



T7TTHO is Mrs. WINSLOW] As this ** question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untireingly devoted her time and talents as a female physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her [ name by this invaluable article, and we sincerely believe that thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits and unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Try it mothers, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. J

A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is fast super, ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for ! a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white - r linen, but produces the color within the - substance of the hair. Read the follow- 1 ing from Mr, Nathan Berry, Chemist, ® Walkden : “One of my customers told 1 me the other day he had had grey hair * for thirty-five years, and after using one J bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer I sold him, it was restored to and kept its ® natural color.” It may be had of any 1 respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. ? per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY O. *■ GALLUP, No, 493, Oxford street, London.
