Brooklyn youths and maidcns have spent many
pleasant hours in chestnutting of late. One young
man who was on his way to visit his sweetheart
was passing through a chestnut grove in Prospect
Park after dusk. and III the scanty light felt for
and gathered some nuts for his lady far. When he
told her that he had collected them himself Tor her
by long and patient search under the trees, she
much gratifed at this proof OF devotion. But when
sne tasted the nuts and found them already roasted,
she naturally concluded that her lover was an Eli
Perkins aud had chestnuting at an Italian ven
ders stand. He was promptly shown the door.
Careful investigation lay the dlsconsOlate young
man showed that the ground had been burned over
beneath the trees in tine park and i'll that way the
nuts had been charred. he happy pair will be

HEAVY WEATHER AT SEA.

The incoming and outgoing vessels near the coast
experienced the first mort beast gale of the season
on Tuesday nght. Ii was such weather as induces
the passengers to appeal to tine captain to hurry
into port vhe the captains ale trying their best to
get where there's plenty of sea ROOM Captain Dea-
KIN, of the steamship City of Pucba, from Havana,
Id that he INTO tho teeth of the gale off the
Capes of Virginia aud carried il along the coast
til he got into harbOr. The gale not only retarded
the speed of the vessel, but as her bows dropped
into valley and rose again to meet mountain
wave she would stand still and shudder, and then
shaking the food Of water from her deck, would
move ahead few feet to meet another green
mountain and bound over it. Her experience was
similar to that of the few other vessels which ar
rived, but the ST. Laurent, from IIavre not being
able to cross the bar except at high tide had to
nam outside until "a later hour.

Lightning Rod Profits.

81 have seen the time | could make
fifty dollars a day putting up lightning
rods. Drive up to a house and talk
with a man about rodding his barn at
so much a foot, and he would figure
that it would cost, say sixteen dollars,
and he would sign an order. Before
the ink was cold l would have seven
or eight men, with ladders, all over
that barn. They would go over it
like cats OF a back fence, and put
points on every corner, and conduc-
tors down every side. The farmcr
and his family would look on in
amazement, and be so pleased at the
improved look of the old barn that they
would not kick at the number of points.
Then we would 90 off without collect
ing the bill, and in about q week our
collector would come along with 4 bill
for $3S7.47, and the farmers note, all
signed, and demand the pay. The
farmer might faint away, but he had
to pay it. Oh, of course. if he seemed
hurt, we would throw off the old cents,
just to show a Christian spirit. But
the condemned newspapers have kept
