An Applause Scene.
Ab a London theatre one night a few years ago s the audience gave vent to a burst of applanse as an actor was making his entrance in the second scene. He was not what might be termed a celebrated actor, but just an ordinary actor of the • walkinggentleman ' class. He seemed quite astonished ab such an oration, and stepped forward to the front of the stage, and bowed several times, thus expressing his thanks for such a kind reception. But what was his amazement when he found that the cheering was not for him, but for the Prince and Princess of Wales, who had just entered the Royal box. The house, at the discovery, rang again with cheeis and laughter.
"Don't fret, John," said Mrs Wiggins ; " you've lost nearly everything you had in the world, I Know ; but you've still got me." "Yes," said John, vyith another heartfelt groan, " that's just what I was thinking."
