Crrstabel,s Chestnut Cry.

Crystabel Pendennis, with hot aka
line tears on her damascus cheeks,
rushed into her mothers arms and
frantically embraced the mantel, and
called for poultice of tea-leaves for
her aching and wounded orbs. A red
sunset glinted on the western fog, and
deep, dark tar-hat-like shadows spread
across the three-ply Brussels. Then
she tore the chestnut from her pocket
the chestnut which since early child
hood she had carried to prevent rheu-
matism-and threw it into the rosy,
rubicund CRATE, and lifted the red-and-
yellow chamois-and-hannel waistcoat
from her dimpled shoulders, and pre-
pared to die of consumption. In vain
her mother appealed to her, in the
name Of bric-a-brac, to reveal her sor-
row. But at last she dried her Oolong
tears, and said: my sister, the beau
tiful but dreaded Irene, has fed with
the coachman." "But why do you
