The Forest Loom.
BY JOHN ssvsen.
Through the boughs the wind is flying,
Like a shuttle through the loom,"
Weaving gai-lands from the dead leaves
For 'the,dead.'red sui‘nmer’s tomb.
5
Leaves of black, and brown,’ and golden,
Whirling weird-like as it weaves,

l CHAPTER I.

Mrs. Porter Potts was one of those
cliaractcis very often drawn by the nov-
~ eh.-"L, but seldom met with in actual life.

' pi-ovi-rb that "no sweet is without its bit-
ter.” She was like Dickens’ ‘Mrs.
Skewrnii, “all heart and all that sort. of
'liiug‘,” her 5&{llSll‘)lllLlBS were exquisitely
acute, and she was ready at a iiioinent’s
warniiig to spread the liandkercliief of
sympathy and open the pearl-casket of

that Mrs. Porter Pots was “made rather
for auzfsirle show.” In her days of early
liloo.-ii she had “learned the art, at proper

iinies to scream and start;” and now it
had become second nature to act the ten-
der part. ‘Ambition was, I am sorry to
say, Mrs. Porters Potts’ ruling passion-
liei*_ dream by iiiglit, her study all the day.
Tlie ag‘gl‘all(llZell’l|-Jlll. of her children was
the end ever in view, and this end she
piirsiied as assiduously as if ’t\vei'e her
"Country's, God’s and 'l‘ruth’s.” Con-
ti-mpt of inferiors, and adoration of the
_g;reut, were the lessons, that began in the
iiiirsery ’; streiigtlieniiig with the blossom
The moment her daughters left. school,
an icy barrier was placed between them
und certain of their former companions.
Those. with whom they had set at the
same desk for years, who had assisted in
their tasks, and shared in each juvenile
sport, were now passed by in the street
without a nod of recognition, while Miss
A. and Miss D., mere acquaintance of a
day, were saluted with the most extrav-
agzint expressions of delight, and petted
and carassed into being sociable. Like
the Chinese, Whang, of whom Goldsmith
tells us, they always answered in the af-
firmative when asked if they knew such
persons of consequence; but if any in‘
formation were desired of a hunibler
frieiid, the Misses Potts forthwith became
ignorautly innocent as a lamb!
Mrs. Porter Potts often spoke of her
dear cousin, Major Scott, or “a charming
relative——.Tiidge Walbridge, out-West”
(both of whom were rather apocryphal,)
but she was at no pains to inform her
fl‘lt'll(lS of the BXISIEIICC of it cei'tnin iini:‘.c

With these ancestral honors clustering

with his fui'eij__:n air, and “that love of a
nioustache ;” the result of which impres-
slbllity was, that Hymen was soon called
upon to rivet the chain which Cupid was
supposed to have forged.
Miss Jane Editha Jones was the only
child of a worthy mechanic, who, by Hill
remittiiig toil and close hoarding, had
inaiiagefl to accumulate an estate that a
nabob might have envied.
An independent, care-for-naught man,
was honest. old Jacob Jones, but very
different was his daughter. One term at
a fashionable boarding-school had com-
pletely transmogrified her, as the father
said, and he half-repented of a gentility
that cosrso-much. Shegrew arrogant
and supercilious, even to her only parent
former sceiies-and associates excited the
most equivocal ‘disgust, and the old gen-
tlenianwas not sorry whena visit to the
Spiingsprovided her with another pro-
tector. ,-+1 _,, ‘
After .her marriage and the death of,
her father, all her energies were directed
to “getting into society ;” a purpose that
her husband's known rank and her own
reputed wealth strongly aided, and at
last accomplished, even to an admittance
to the “exclusive”—which in her wild‘
est dreams of ambition she had never da-
red hope would be anything less than a
forbidden circle to her. But when she
had succeeded in this "one idea” it was
quite exemplary to behold with what
case at naturalness she accustomed her_
self to change, and amusing it must have
been to the reverenceflf pedigree to lis-
ten to her unsparing comments upon
‘mushroom aristocracy,” and witness,
the pertinacity with which she resisted
all innovations from the parvenues!
“For my part,” she would say, “I
would sooner live in a titled country, and
have a monarch to reign over me, than
in one where every nobody isliable to be
exalted over oiie’s head.”
_ In fact, her tastes were all English
baronial and distinguished, and even
evinced themselves in the selection of
her children's names. Her eldest was a
Il/12?ltoiz,) she had heard him lauded as a
/;')'itzTs/i Bard) though to tell the truth,
she could not help tliiiiking his works
suflerably dull. The next son was a
\-\’cl|in';Lou-the “Duke” she always
called him from babyhood; one daughter
was a Victoria Regia, another name-d
aft:-r dear Lord Byron’s Thyrza, and the
imrd mid inst had been christened after
the ll£‘l’Oll.lE of an old Ell‘_{llSll novel.
And an interesting family was that of
Mrs. Potter Potts. As for her children,
the judicious mamma considered them
appeal from a mother’s judgement '.’
Mi ton was following In the footsteps
of his illustrious predecessor, and trying
hard to rival the poetic celibre after whom
he was named; the Dulce was studying
for the military profession, already con-
sidering himself Wellingtoo in nature as
well by name ; Victoria was the Queen
of Beauty; Thyrza was a la Byron style
exact and Iolina was a perfect prodigy
for her years! And then, too, Mr Poi-
ter Potts’ \vife’s husband was a model of
that domestic relation. Altogether a
more unpretending man never drank clar-
et, or snored away existence. Affable,
generous, and do-nothing, he might have
stood for Honeywell, in the comedy of
the Good-Natured Man. He was not
the impolittc monster who contends :1
point with his "better-lialf”—tliough for
this trait we must not allow him too
much credit, as we are inclined to think
it merely the result of an habitual indo-
lence which made himdread coming into
contact with any one at the risk of his
equaiiiniity or conveniences. Not al-
ways, however, was this the case, for
though physically indolent, he was far
from being tongue-tied. When from home
indeed some of his friends had averted he
could spin a yarn long enough to knit a
stocking, and an ill-natured fellow had
been known to exclain‘i—“Save me from
impurturhable Potts—lie will talk me
deaf, dumb and blind!”
Such was Mrs. Porter Potts, such Mr.
Porter Potts, and such collectively the
“rising generation” who clustered
around them!
CHAPTER 11.
“Lend me the paper, my dear,” said
Mrs. Porter Potts one morning, as her
amiable cara sposa lounged back from
the breakfast-table to inspect the “Daily
News.”
Mr. Potts,_like a good child, did as he
was hidden and amused liiniself by math-

"\'Viiy, rcu ly 3’ $ll(ltlr.'lll_V exclaimed
the lady ; “this is qu'.te 0Vcl‘p0Vl’t’.l‘lllg ;”
and in a voice that migl t have " over-
powered,” with its loudness, she read the
following notice :
“At Iiiglesiile, near Baltimore, Md,
Hereford Ingle, Esq , in the 51st year of
his age.” -
"Ali! is it possible 3” drawled the lins-
band; while Mrs. Potts soliloquized,
“VVel| truly may it be said, “in the midst
of life we are in death,”—hand me a bit
of toast, my love. A more robust man I
never beheld than poor uncle; length of
days seemed impressed upon every, Iiuea-
merit of his hardy countenance. Ah 3--
how sad, how lieartrending to be cut off
(a slice of the steak if you please)-so
suddenly in the prime of life.”
“When source is seized some valued prize,
And duties press and tender ties

Alas ! how hard it is to die I”
broke in Milton.
“He was an excellent man--that I
must own,”continued Mrs. P.; “notwith
standing there was so little congeuiality
between us. He was too democratic in
perfection, and who would undertake to '
his tastes, too much addicted to aiiialga-
mating among the ordinary, to stilt my
ideas; still he was an holiest man as ev.
er trod the earth.”,
“ ‘An honest‘ man’s the noblest work
of God,’ ” edged in Milton. .
“And I always respected him,”'resum"
ed the mamma, “though our differences
of opinion’ precluded much love ' IV».-ll,

so easily agitated—- but I always had un.
fortunate nerves.”
Wellington, who was spending his va-
cation at home, much to the annoyance
of Miss Victoria, whom it was his sole
amusement to teaze, sprang up at this
stage of the proceedings, and went off
humming :—
“Good people all, with one accord,
Lament for Madame Blaize.”
“Shall we go mourning, ma 3” asked
Il/Iilton.
“The idea I" laughed the young la-
dies. ’
"We have been like strangers so long
that it would be preposterous to blazon
out relationship now,” said Mrs. Potts;
“besides I believe he leaves a dauglitcr,
thatsuch an acknowledgenient might
render troublesome to us. Yes, indeed,
I had almost forgotten Eiiima——she must
be quite grown.” I
“By the way, my dear wife,” said Mr.
Potts courageously, “suppose we invite
her here for a while-—_I expect her father
died insolvent, for Ihave heard lately that
his securityship for a friend had ruiiied
him, and I am sure it would be nothing
more than kindly to oillrr the poor ;{ll‘l a

“Really, Mr. Potts,” iiinrise :iu:<wci' hisl
amiable lady, “you are vrrry kind with
what don’t belong to "you! If
