LOLA'S Ul'AkOUM. Wban Lola Benaeo's father died ho ooaflded his infant daughter, left motherless a year before to the guardianship of his tried friend, John Har Rood. The trust was aooepted in no halfhearted way, for the child's mother had been the object of Har good's first and only love— a love whloh he had left unspoken and hidden away among the secret* of his heart on discovering that his friend had been beforehand in beooming the' lady's sol tor. "How wonderfully like her mother •he has'grownl" was John Har good's I first thought when Lola Benson, a grown young lady, and "finished" at I last, came home from school to take I her j>iaoe as bis adopted daughter and I mistress of his house. He was old enough to be Lola's father, and fancied, for a long time, I that he loved her as a father, but as I time passed, and the likeness that bad I so struck him at the first grew upon I him day by day, be began to be eouI scions, at length, of something akin to r i * — — n — o — — ~

3 1 the old feeling entertained towards I Lola's mother. 1 1 For a long time be struggled against > I such thoughts, oalled himself a fool for r I forgetting the disparity of age, and , I severely ©hided his own selfishness for 1 1 even suggesting the binding of a freau - young life. In the brightness of its | morning, to one already beginning to decline in the vale of years. , I Bat it msy be doubted if any man ■ I young enough to fall in love ever really ' I thought himself too old. to be loved. 1 1 John Hargood was oloee on fifty, bnt I was still reokoned a handsome man; and I with his equally handsome fortune. 1 1 many a belle of twenty would have ' I jumped at the offer of his hand. It was a long while before he oould make up his mind to tell Lola the true condition of bis hand. The revelation startled her, It was I evidently unexpected. Bhe turned pale and trembled, and, I for an irritant, a pained expression I agitated her countenance. / "I would not for the world constrain I your inclinations," Mr. Hargood hastened to add; "but, Lola, tf you think I you can love an old fellow like me well I enough lp be my wife " "Do you wish it?" I "Does it greatly concern your ltappiI rtaa?" she asked, slowly and calmly. "It doea," he returned, in a voioe I quivering with emotion. "Yonr consent would make tne the happiest of men, bnt not if given at the I coat of your—** "I consent," broke in Lola,- reselling I out her hand and placing it in i.i* John Hargood drew his ward towards I him and kbned her, much in the ok) paternal way, and thus was their en I gage men I sealed. It wan not many d Rj* *ft©r that Yates Rutledga.s young man highly by Ifr. Hargood, at whose house hi* had always been a welcome visitor, presented himself before the latter. With much blushing and many I stammerings, Mr. Butledgc at last succeeded in explaining that the oh I ject of his coming was to ask Mr. Har I good's permission to pay court to hk 1 ward. 4 Have you informed her of your fooling*?" inquired Mr. Hargood, in a quick, sharp voioe, which Yates Bulledge thought boded him no good. "I-I did Act wish to do so without first consulting you,' the young man stammered, with a fresh aooompaniment of blushes, "Have ycu any ream to— to believe that your sentiments are reciprocated? ' asked the elder gentleman, looking quite as anxious and embarraMed aa I the younger. "I have fancied 1 might hope," began I the latter. **I shall broach the matter to my I ward this evening, and give you an auswer to-morrow." said Hargood, the laWrriTwBPtt,lf ***** Lola's faoe turned vary pale, and than very red, when her guardian reported the vWt of Yates Kutledg* and its object "And now what answer must I give him?" Mr. Ha*ood aaned. I Had Mr/nl^W^^Moa young

er and sharper, he might have satm the tears trembling in hers, but they escaped his notice. "Tall him he moat not come on auch an errand," she answered, in a voice that faltered a little, though it was quite decided; "and how oan you ask me auoh a question," she added, "in view of our — our own engagement?" Poor llutledge was sadly crestfallen when Mr. Hargood gave him his answer the next day; and worse stiU on receiving, as a reason for it, the intelligence that Miss Benten was already engaged. "What are those tears about Lois dear?" asked Mr. Hargood, as he came upon his ward rather suadeaJy half an hour later. ••Nothing." He took her hand and drew her to him geutly. "My darling," he said, in a voice over so kind and fatherly, "if, after all, you are not entirely happy in our engagement— if there is auy other- -Yates ltut lodge, for fw*tanoe ** "Oh! don't! don't!" she oried, pleadingly. Then dashing away her tears, "I— I am quite happy," she added; "and oome what will, I shall keep my word!" Mr. Hargood eat a long time alone lu his study that evening, and did so for several evenings following. He spoke no more to Lola of their engagement, "I think I shall go for a moonlight sail on the river," he said to Lola, as she came one night with her good-night kiss.

0 "Don't be anxious if I am out late. 1 You know 1 shall be quite safe." Mr. Hargood went out and never ^ more returned ! Hit small boat was found next morning empty and drifting with the oarrent. 1 Lola's sorrow was deep and lasting. , And when Mr. Hargood's will was opened, and it was found that he had t left her his sole legatee, her grief broke , out alresh ss she thought ot the fond love which she had only been able to I repay with a divided heart. I It was two years before Lola oould be brought to listen lo the suit* of Yates , Rutledge, whom she lied loved from the first. I But she yielded at last, for holding , out now oould not benefit the deed. "There's a countryman of yours lying k ill kore," said the garrulous landlord of a little Qerman inn at whiolt Yates Kutledge and his wife made a stop on their wedding tour. '•The doctor indeed, has quite givou him up; but I think it might do bim good to see some of bis own oountrrpcople— at least, it might servo to revive his spirits e Utile." Yates and Lola followed the host, who led the way to the sick man's room. Lola uttered a cry. There, wasted to a shadow, lay on a oouoh the scarce recognisable form of her old guardian. • "I saw, whan it was too late," the dying man nr .mured, "that 1 had made a mistake in asking you to be my wife." "That your heart had already been given to another." "But I knew that you would insist on keeping your promise to me, even at the cost of wrecking your own lYe, and that the beet way out of it all would be to make you believe me dead. " "Forgive me if I have caused you a passing pain." "I knew that time and a lover's care would heal It." "As to the fortune, have no scruples whatever. " Your title will toon be complete, and I can led with mo quite a imthcient for my own wants." Then, calling Yates Kutledge, be joined bis and Lola's hands. "Bloa* you my children!" he muttered, half inaudiblv, and sunk back upon the pillow, A alight tremor shook his frame, and then followed the altUneas of death! ( nriow So**.

The WvrM't C.kaeotot*. The revolution in Ecuador quickly affected the obooolate trade of Ut*world, the reaeou being that Ecuador bears just the relation to the chocolate market that the marshes of Chios *n/i of the southern aUtea do to the rioe •upply. It Is the great producing field of the raw material — ouocm— aud, when an embargo is laid upou the exportation ut that, the manufacturers at unoe oom meuoe to take stock of their beau*. The last shipment of ooooa to the Hsu Francisco manufacturers was on the twenty-eighth of January, and the date of the next U altogether a matter of conjecture. The coneequence is that the price of ohoooiate has gooe up 2 cents a pound to the trade in this eity, and, unless Ecuador soon settles down and (Joayaquil h freed from the tnsur gents, it wiD advanoe atiii higher, and the consumer will then begin to feel the differenoe in price. A similar rise in prioe has occurred in New York and London, with the probabilities of the 2 oents growing into three can is withiu • week or two. The trouble witi the local manufacturer* is that, if the stock of ooc<* grows much smaller, they will be obliged to pre] tare lor an emergency by lmp^rung the raw material from New York at an additional expense o( 8 cents per jtound freight. While on the subject of ooooa it was found by conversation with members of the two firms of chocolate makers in Han Fran ri boo that there were certain points of general interest in the subject, as indicating a very promising growth of the local trade? In the first place it appears that the imports of foreignmade ohooulate have so decreased thai at present there are not over 500 pouuds brought annually to this plaoe. On the other hand, the home product has gone steadily upward until the two

local factories make from 800,000 to 400,000 pouuds a rear of chooolate for restaurant and hoose consumptiou, and about 60,000 pouuds for confectionery. The prod not of the factoritw is not entirely used on this ooast, for San Francisco has in its turn become an ex|>orter of ohoooiate. Que firm has reoently been appointed purveyor to the Quvernor of the Phllbpjuae Islands in faoe of the fact that there art factories there and that the islands arc a dependency of the oldest chocolate making eou u try of tne world— Spain. The same firm has reoeivod the gold medal at the Australian exhibition, the silver medal in Paris, whrre this maker's beat braud was said to equal the high French standards, and the silver medal of the Freoeh Homely of Culinary An in New York. The other firm supplic* Mexico, China, Japan and BnUsn Colombia, and boilt deal largely with Ht. Loots and Chicago. It is a rather peculiar circumstance that tbo two Utter cities take a better grade of ohoooiate than is usei iu California, or, rather, that they take only the beat quality, borne of the chooolate used in California is, indeed, of such inferior quality that the mskerh abstain from placing their name on the article. Wherever the boat California chocolate lias gone tt has gained the verdict of being the equal, if not the superior, of the hightest foreign brands, the rewsous IwingAhat the climate of ban Francisco is particularly adapted to its manufacture, an even temperature of 72 dog. being the most desirable, and that all the materials required, sugar, vanilla, and the 9000a boon, are imported free of duty. Again, home goods have oome to the front, and these lew facts show that California ohoooUte, like so many other products, has entered luto successful competition with what used to be regarded aa the specialties of the old world.

Ism Is Mexico. Passion week end Holy week are q newly mixed up in McxIoj with new diesses and promenades after a hoatheoish maauer. All Mexican ladies wear tw- entirely new Unlets in Holy week— ooe of iwhi colors 00 Holy Thursday and a very handsome black silk or aaliu drees oa Good Friday, to that lor a I- .rtmgbt before the dressmaker* are exceedingly busy id reel tog and making a kn of finery. The laiiors are also hard at work, at the gen lie men follow Ihe exam; II aa J dou caUreiy sew garments 00 Holy Tkuiaday sod Uood Friday. Oa these days everyone m to be seen ia the street* u. promenades u> the mornutg and ut the Cuutches is the evening. Tbeoce they go to the Locale or public square, to hear th* lastnuneoul concerts generally given there 00 these nights. At shout 1 1 o'clock 00 Thursday and Friday mornings the ladies p*«* ui. and down Platen* street, the Hrtadwsy of Mexioo, wearing ccqaeOnhly their nen dreeaes and their maatUiaa, and the young men stand in lines leaning against the street wails to admire them as they walk past, at the same time paying mem the most exaggerated compliments. This absurd custom has given the young Mexi cans wbb indulge la it the name of "lag* ritijaa." or lizards, and some very seven art ic'js nave been published ia the paper* here condemning tnia homage paidso publicly to the ladies. The enthuusam of the "iagamijas" has saw what abated, but the cust iui still exists. In lidy week a sort of toy Is used which is called a "fualracs." 'litis is* an ornament with a little rattle attached to it in Uu- rorm of a bird, a basket, a flower, or aay other pretiy dmigu, and made ot gold, silver, flligrue, wood, or ivory. Ail the ladies and children carry 00c and rat Ik it aathe> walk a long the street. The "mairac*' signifies the r auic used in the churches during mam when a bail cannot be rung. Even the usual children's toys have the

ralUc attached to thcoi. and the n-nac ooe bears in the streets during the last dava ot Holy week is something horrible. There is another unique custom with which Hoty week emit here. 1 tax is the burning of Judas. 11 ukos pia-x 00 ba turday inoroing al about 10 o'clock, when the catnedrat be n r.ng out amKmnoiag the "gluna" or resurrection of Christ. Judas is always a most absurd flgiue. lie is sometimes dressed as a l urk, sometime* as a sail jr, but commonly in an oruioai v modern costume. He is stuffed wuh fire crackers inside, and ai '.be hour ot the "gloria" these are set off and burnc.1 in the public square, in the streets, in the bouses— in fact everywhere. Many ot them arc made to represent political or other well known personages, and kmxk amiable people have their enemies reuroduoud in these figures and arc them bum up with great pleasure. The religk** observances of Holy week, are the same as in the United Sum*. Oa Holy Thursday peop:c visit the different churches, Lbe altars of which are decorated with flower* and taper*, and on Good Friday they go to bear the sermon and pay the visit of "pesame" or condolence for the death of Christ. In Passion week another old national custom u observed This is the "pasro de las flora, '* or the flower promenade. 11ns takes place on Friday morning at a little distance rrom Uto city 00 the pretty banks of the banta Auita canal. The promenade!* go there at 5 or C ia the morning of "rlerooa dc dolores,' 00 horseback or in open carriage*, the ladies attired in the most gorgwws toilets and the horsemen ia Mexican nauonal c-wlum.. They go up and down the road for tiro or three hour*, buying flower*, rinnkin; exiling (leverages, which arc told in lenis erected there for the occasion, and conversing with 1 heir taenia. They then return to the city, their carriages laden with Cosera, and, so finishes the "pasoo de las flora-' Tke canal of buna Anita is filled with canoes containing planu sad flower a, which are sojd by the Indians. Toe sight is a very iweUy one, and the contrast very stnkinc between the ladio» In their stylish carriages elegantly dressed, and the ludian woman who offer them flowers, with their short dark skirts, their "reboaoa,' which are a yrt of a wide silk or oottoc scarf thrown over their ahoul dorr, their kmc, black hair haogi^ down in two thick brakls, and book of them with wreaths of natural flower* oa theu heads, which give than * very fantastic*, appeiranoe.
