THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

PAGANINI’S OLD SABOT.

( Conclud'd)

Paganini’s labor was rewarded. He gave the old shoe a soul, and the world was to hear the result.

Soon blue bills, placarded on the walls of the Villa Lutsetiana, and liberally dis tributed all over Paris, announced to the world that a concert would be given in the large saloon of the villa on New Year’s Eve, at which Nicolo Paganini would make his first appearance after his serious indisposition. The popular artist promised to play ten pieces, five upon an ordinary violin and five upon a wooden shoe. The price of admission was fixed as high as twenty francs a head, but it was added that the proceeds would be de voted to a charitable purpose.

The good news of Paganini’s recovery and speedy reappearance spread like wild fire in Paris. For three months past hardly a soul in Paris knew what had be come of the illustrious artist. The whole musical world indulged in transports of joy, and it is needless to add that a few hours after the announcement appeared, not a ticket for the concert was to be had for love or money. Paganini had given strict injunctions that only a certain num ber were to be sold. The largest theatre in Paris could have been filled over and over again, but he had set his heart on playing in the Villa Lutretitiana. There was an element of what we should call “ sensation” about the whole freak of the artist. A concert in an elegant establishment like this villa, given by one of the most distinguished of all artists after a three months’ absence— variations first upon a violin, and then upon a shoe—these were the items of gossip discussed over and over again until the long looked-for New Year’s Eve came at last.

The carriages of all the notabilities in Paris thronged the gates of the Villa Lutsetitiana, and amidst a hush of breath less excitement Paganini, violin in hand, made his appearance in the room.

There was not a trace of his recent ill ness left. He looked as young again as When he isolated himself from the world. With one bright smile at the recognition he received, and with but little preface, he dashed at once into a brilliant fantasia, and, quite lost in the fury of his art, he literally intoxicated his audience with his magic power.

“He cannot improve that,” they said. “ He never played better in his life.” Prepared, however, for any prodigies of skill from one who had previously done what no living man had accomplished on the violin, the dilettanti waited in an agony of excitement for the variations on the “sabot.”

After a short interval Paganini reap peared with the treasure in his hand. A silence that was almost terrible, and then from the new instrument poured forth sounds so sweet as to draw tears from the eyes of almost every one in the room. The artist seemed to be carried away by the excitement he was causing, and put his whole soul and grand intelligence into the musical drama he was reciting. There could not be a doubt about its meaning. It was the return of the conscript. There was the roll of the drums, the excitement of military life, the pang of pain at the soldier leaving his companions, the loneli ness of the journey, the approach to home, the meeting of the lovers, the tears of joy and ecstacy of indissoluble happi ness.

A burst of wild applause greeted the last almost superhuman effort. Again and again did the villa ring with the ex cited cheers of the audience. The ladies flung their bouquets at the artist’s feet, and the men rushed up to him and seized him by the hand.

Even the four old ladies who had com posed a certain whist party to which allu sion has before been made, could not refrain from the general excitement which was around them. “It is simply magnifi cent,” ithey said; “we should not have judged him so harshly. He must have a good heart,” Up in the corner of the saloon, half hidden by a curtain, stood a simple little girl. She was crying as if her heart would break. It was Louisette.

The drama of the conscripts return had gone straight to her heart.

The concert was a magnificent success, and when it was over they totalled the receipts. They amounted to two thousand francs. And then Paganini called Louisetto to his side.

“My little friend,” said he, “ we have been lucky enough to obtain five hundred francs more than was required to obtain a substitute for Henri. Take all the mo ney. What is over will do to defray Henri’s expenses on his way home.” Louisette could not keep back the tears which came welling to her eyes. But Paganini took her kindly by the hand, and said— “ You have been an affectionate and faithful little hand maid to me, and you too must have your reward. I will give you something to start life with. This old shoe—perhaps you will like to call it violin now—is yours ; I always intended that it should belong to you. You can dispose of it how you think fit, and I can not help thinking that it will realise suffi cient to give you a handsome dowry. ” Paganini was quite right. A wealthy Parisian amateur purchased the instru ment of her, and the price he paid was six thousand francs.

And so Louisette got back her lover from the wars through the instrumentality of Nicolo Paganini. The kind part this famous violinist played in the matter must ever redound to his advantage how ever much it may be considered “ An Artist’s Freak. ” CONCLUDED. A MIDNIGHT VISITOR " Just a knob or two more, for it’s cold . as winter to-night; then one game at chess, and off to bed. By the way, did you send the girl ?” "Half an hour ago,” said my wife. "It is past eleven.” “ Humph ! Time goes so when one is reading,” I said ; and then, setting out the men, we prepared for our battle, with the understanding [that, as it was late, the moves were to be made quickly and without consideration. And, by the way, these are the games in which I generally come off victor, my very near relative being gifted with a long head, in whose depths she concocts abominable schemes, fuU of checks and discoveries, fatal to the existence of my poor queen, against whose reign she is disloyal as any Fenian. The little time-piece had just struck its single alarm note to say that it was mid night, and I had given check with a bishop in a two-edged way, that ensured the loss of my adversary’s knight, when she suddenly sat very upright in her chair, and held up. her finger-. " Someone crying,” I said, thinking of kicked-off clothes .and shivering little limbs somewhere in the upper regions. " No,” she whispered—"a step on the gravel. ” " Nonsense !” I said, for I hate people of nervous temperament to rouse me out of my easy-chair at night, to go shivering down the garden to try if the front gate is locked, and peep behind the laurels for concealed burglars ; or to shake me out of a pleasant dream to get up and dress and go down-stairs to try all the doors, or open the window and shout, " I see you there,”, the same as I did one night, when it was as black as Erebus, and a gruff

voice from the road answered, “ Then you must have blessed good eyesight, sir and the ever-widening rays of a police man’s bull’s-eye were cast in my face. I was sick of being bothered with imaginary noises, for ours was not the house burglais would attack. Our whole stock of plate, in its neat, baize-lined basket, only cost fifty pounds—a wedding present, —and I suppose, if brought to the melting-pot, would not bo worth more than half; while, as to other valuables, we had each a watch and chain. To be sure, my wife had what she called her treasures up stairs—seven of them, I think, there were ; but who, in the name of all that’s sensible, would in these days of no kid napping commit a burglary to steal child ren? Certainly mine were safe, for they would have proved as noisy booty as pigs of a marketable size. So, under the cir cumstances, I very naturally and testily exclaimed, “ Nonsense !” “ But, my dear,” said my wife, “ did you not yourself find a suspicious-looking individual lurking about the place early the other morning 1” “Very true, my dear,” I answered. “ Buthe said he was a cousin of our Jane, John Thompson by name ; and, though we don’t allow followers, you know girls will have sweethearts lurking about at times. Didn’t Jane herself half confess it when you asked her about it ?” “ There it is again,” exclaimed my wife earnestly, “ I’m sure of it. Depend upon it, it’s that fellow come back again and as she spoke I certainly did hear what sounded like the gritting of a foot upon the gravel walk, “There now,” she ex claimed, in a triumphant whisper, “ what’s that ?” _

“Jane has not locked the gate, and it’s the policeman. ” “ But I locked it myself to-night, dear. Someone has climbed over, I’m sure.” “ Check 1” said I.

“ But pray, dear ” “ Don’t you see 1” I said testily, “check to my queen and then I turned sharply round, for there was a light tap upon the window, as if from someone’s nail, and, on drawing aside the curtains and moving the blind, I could just detect a man’s face close to the glass. “ Hullo !” I exclaimed loudly. “ Hush !” said a voice. “ Can I speak to you a minute ? Please open the win dow.”

Now, that was all very well, and very civilly spoken, but, under the circum stances, I did not feel disposed to do any thing of the kind, and, letting fall the blind, I stood hesitating as to what would be best. If I took up the poker, I felt I should be a match for any one man if he had evil intentions ; but then there might be two or three ; but “Pooh —nonsense !"’ I exclaimed the next moment ; “ some one is ill, or something of that kind. Be sides,” I said, “'one thing is very certain —it’s not John Thompson.” “ Where are you going, Edward ?” said my wife anxiously, as I moved towards the door.

“ Upstairs, to hold a parley,” I replied. “But you are never going io leave me here by myself V’ “Not unless you wish it, my dear. Come along with me.” So, hand in hand, we went up to the little staircase window over the front door, and, throwing it up, I looked out to just distinguish a figure by the drawing-room window. “Now then,” I said, “what’s the matter ?” “Hush, pray,” whispered a voice that was quite strange to me ; and there was again the grating upon the gravel, as the figure came beneath where I was. “ Are you a Christian ?” whispered the voice. Well, that was rather a poser. Igo to the church in the morning and to church in the afternoon, pay my rates regularly, and never put less than sixpence in the plate on collection days ; so, under the circumstances, I thought I was, and said so. “ Then pray help a follow-creature in distress, sir. Give me your help. ” [to be continued,'!

THE GARDENER.

• NOTES FOR THE PRESENT MONTH, BY A . PROFESSIONAL GARDENER. : APRIL. KITCHEN GARDENING. ' The principal crops will now be either all sown or planted, and the encourage ment of their growth the object of atten -1 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, flrowers 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 ripen, 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 all the runners that remain be trimmed off, care being taken not to cut off all the leaves, as is too often done not enly 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. FLOWER GARDEN. Plant Bulbs of the following kinds— 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 sjn’ing until late . in autumn. All tender plants, such as 1 Geraniums, Cinerarias, Cupheas, etc., i

that have been turned out during summer should now be brought in and housed to protect them from frost ; and all herbaceous plants that have done flowering cut clown, so as to give the garden a neat appearance. THE ORCHARD requires little care at this season, further 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.

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 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. lid.—Depot, 493, Oxford street. 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 mothars, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City.



VALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun txy, at 3s. Gd. 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 s 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 linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “ One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer I sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C. GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford street, London.
