A WAX-WORK ROMANCE.

We wos hexibitin' at Weston-super-Mare i at the time, and doin' uncommon well Anjnever 'ad Manders' Byle Collexshur o Wax-Wurka deserved to do better; for never 'ad the figgers been more numerus or rechurchy. Six wans in all; all on em full; to say nothmk 0$ the tatooed man as we carried about with us in the livin 1 waggin, an' threw in with a war-dance at the evenin' performances. We wos drawin' immense. Our cards, hinfbrmin' the public o' the heddicational natur of the collexshun, 'ad fetched the ladies' fcfjpools, which wos legion; so much so, ' we ound it wuth our while to alter fjr-^a. full of "horrors" into kings and > queens, to please the scholastic hellyment of our pattruns. \ We wos pitched up one hend o' the town handy to the Market Place. Never 'ad Dan'l in his den, which won one of the movin' tablow, werked better; an' the lions answered to the clock-work as if it 'ad jest been put into their hinsides. The Claimant—what a lot o' wax that figger habsorbed to be sure—was the objeck of much hattention; an,' with the werkin class audiences, ran Dan'l hard for the first place. But the fashun an' hintelleck of the place took more to the profit, aa' like-wise to the young Greek Female 'er aged Pa to slow music through the key hole ; while the domestic suvvants wos all , for the bed- room scene, where Mrs. Squibbs, of Bethnalgreen, and 'er hinfant fam'ly of six, lay welt'rin in their gore, which wos a terrible subjeck, an' not one aa you'd like to dust after dark without company. But that is neither hear nor there. We'd been at Weston a week, when one night we wos sittin' down to supper, after the close of the hexibition for the day. When I say we I mean me, Henery , glanders, the sole proprietor, Mrs. M. as 'ad done the female Ercules in headier life, but had run too fat of late ; Miss Mary Jane M, our hondy child, an' a treasure, as quite a "Little Nell" in 'er way ;andthe t&tooedmanafore-menshuned whoseTiappitite was not haifected by his sing'lar mark and who used to sleep on a turn up bedsted in Dan'l's den. Well, there we wos a-sittin'out in front of the waggons—for it was svmmer time—en • joying of as nice a: bit of tripe and hunions as you'd see in a days march, when all at bhee I nolussed a form approaching in the, dim light, as turned out presently to be that of a young man. . When he stepped out into the flare o' the naptha-lamp, ah' stood hesitatin' as to whether he should come on. could see 'iin quite plain— and he weren't the most 'tndsome nor hintelleckshal young man you could fancy. His forhead came bul gin'out under his'at, an'his eyes wes large and watery, while there wos a wacant look on his face, as you might see lookin' ont of the fust-floor front winders at 'An '■- Afore he could answer, my Mary Jane chimed in. "Why, father, that's the young man as has been in every time the hopen to-day, an 1 -wanted to know if he could have a seasin tickets" But by ithat time he'd come up closer, an,' sniffin', the supper, he says, " There, I'm disturbin' you, I^know; butii you please, will the wax-wurks be open any nore to-night?" The tatooed man, as had been hencorod • good deal towards the end of the evenin,' looked savage at the very thought; but! winked at 'im to say nothin,' and replied as follows: " Well, sir, I may say as Men der's is closed for the night. Dan'l, and the rest o' them wants their sleep like we do, an' I'm sure you wouldn't be the one as to deny it to 'em." "Me !" he. says, quite energetic, "decidlynot. But tell me, Mr Manders, does she sleep!" and he com* up quite close and whispered in my hear. " Meaijin' who, sir P" says I. " Can you ask ?" he replies, in a melancholy . tone., " Why,. Christine, of course my angel, my love 1" an' he leained over the tatooed man and exclaimed libarsely, "And you, Mr Wild Indian, do you love?" . I He's a touchy sort, that tatooed one, an'there might have been trouDle, only I signed to Mrs. M.to help 'im to more tripe and hunions. Then I looked at the young man. 'Is eyes was rollin' wildly, an' is forehead seemed to bulge more than ever* He/wos evidently a loonatie. I ! felt I must dissemble. ■'Christine does sleep,"*l murmured iadly.an' then I asked Mary Jane ma : htlndertone what be meant. | j " Oh, its that figger of the Princess Lomise what we've dressed up and labelled the Brighton poisoner," she : replied. "I found 'im kisain'. it this afternoon. The young man was standin' gazm'at the carrywans, an' whistlin' plaintively. "Could I see her?" he said presently, "before I seek my couch? I wilrnot hurt'er. I will but kiss the bed-clothes anu retire." - - - ;.lt>waa awkward to- leave my supper like this, but there wos determidashun m 'i« watery eye. an' a hilf a crown m his fingers.

An we stayed on at VVeston three more days, to the last one being under the pattrunage of the j local volunteers, when, with a view to •: please, I put on the Markis o'Lorne a i dark wi K , stuck a refle it his 'and, an' abelled him Private Mickie. 1 At Taunton, ten days after, I 'ad a^ let -1 ter put in my 'and. It was addressed 1 thus : "Christine ,Mr. Mander's Wax Works.Bridgewaterorelsewhere/'Openin' • it I found it to be the ravins of a loonatie. | and signed -'William." r 7W ?^le werry next day a Weston-siyper- Mare Sigh Fainter come unto my 'aads, .an it a most flatterin' account of: my I visit to the place, which shows it ain't bad ' policy to giye an helectro teapot to the reporter's wife An' just below were a little paragraph, which I will quote: I Singular Death. —An inquest was held yesterday on the body of a young man ; named William Earls wood) who was found dead in his bed. For some years past he has been known to the inhabitants of the place as an harmless lunatic, and he has been living here in the charge of our respected townsman Mr. Keeper, of the High-street. A paper was found on the dressing-table with the words—"Christine, 1 die for thee !"on it. For the last ten i days, we are informed, he has refused nourishment almost entirely, and has lit erally wasted away. It is supposed he , had formed some unreturried attachment. '. A verdict of death from natural cause was ! j returned. Fancy my feelings on reading that. I could have smashed up the figger there an' then. But after all. as I said to the \ tatooed man, "What would be the use? i It wouldn't bring him back." ; And the tatooed man replied,"! would't do it if it would." So you see he is a 'ard, ( unyielding man, but he does 'is: war-danoe . capital for all that.— Hornet.
