PEOPLE’S UMBRELLAS. t my chamber window watching the puddles ching the steamy-windowed om- | of ¢ nibus w is it to be marvelled at that my thoughts linger this great city—not that few who look upon but that many to whom even the hack-cab is a ished as a street god—a companion—a some- | hand. thing to hold silent communion with—an aj endage which, like a dog ora walk ing-stick! is modified by the character of its owner, while it becomes, at the same time, part of his sys- tem, exerting an influence over him equal to what it receives.

His umbrella has been bis con- stant companion all these years; and altbough change and decay have come to it, as to its master, in the common course of thiogs, a new covering confers upon it every now and then the gift of pe-petual youth, while the oid play- goer sinks gradually without any such power of restoration Setting aside the dry utilitarian, who carries his umbrella as he would a macintosh, or an boldenst) tha oilskin suit—for use, and nothing more—there is a number of mon whom you may identify by their umbrellas, as you may identify others by their watches, their watch-seals, or their snufl- xes.

Again my nervous friend puts it in a position of safety, and it is not until he has a chair, to return to the he discovers a valuable pie ture likely to be seriously injured by the close companionship of the dripping abomination. By the time that he has finally determined to his satisfaction that the only umbrella in such a room is inside the fender, a smell of burning diseomposes him once more, and his mind is rendered totally unfit to enter- tain business for the day. ‘Then there is my forgetful friend, my friend with the weak memory, my friend who can never tell exactly whether he has lost his ring, or whether he haz left it on the dressing-table. He is constantly haunted by the idea that he has left an umbrella somewhere. When you think you have got rid of him for the day, his familiar voice is heard in the outer room, and his familiar head is thrust in at the inner door, ne amiliar tones the familiar question, ~Did [ leavean umbrella behind me just now’”’ Then comes the production of every umbrella in the place for him to examine carefully, and endeavor. if possible. to identify the lost one. ‘Then comes his not very his umbrella; its peeu especially its very curious and striking handle; Shepherd and his very lengthy and vague account of the : prea he bad visited that d ikely shop, club-house, or vehicle in which be had left it. I meet him sometimes full in the street and I see him stop suddenly, hesitate, seratch his chin, and then walk «short distance back in an undecided manner; the suspicion having just crossed his mind that he had lost his umbrella. When my forgetful friend pays me another visit, after the trouble that he put me to in searching for a phantom of his brain, 1 am amused by his quiet statement that the supposed lost umbrelia was resting calmly at home in its aceustemed corner, covered with the idle dust of many weeks’ inactivity.
