A NEW STONY OF AN• OLD, STILE
That colostile ! It stood on the outskirts of
the add *as the
lag,;
mothers were young. Every 'elttld in the
vil
lage knew the old stile as it resting-place when
there was n tired party of little ones returning .
front !tinting or berrying. Everyyoung beauty
had her own experience of its suitability 1'o• a
trysting•plaee. The matrons loved it. front
old as , ,ociatiOns end recollection's of the timo .
when their Virtu hearts, then young, leaped to
the mwde of some--loved voice, and felt Jiro
pressure of some manly hand, as the sp:•nkcr
leaned over them, sitting on the oldstile.—
True,
it had been repaired itgain and again ;
for the villagers loved it. and kept it in order.
Still, the old stories wero,there, and it was the
old spot
Pretty Nellie Greyson, as she tat. there, one
stuotner afternoon, pulling to pieces the List
bfiiinet, left there for her by sonic love-lorn
farmer's son, thought sadly of the many tittles
she had hat.t cited to the old stile with her howl
some lover; the guest. of the village, George
Lawton., Poor Nellie!' George was the son
of an opulent merchant; a man of wealth and
influence, and had 'been sent hien the country..
to recruit 'Ms health at his cousin's, Nellie's
another.
1t did not talcei long for the handsome:lel
anted young Lawton to win the simple frost ;
ino. heart of the lovely village girl. Nellie .
had received' a sound EngliBh education,; but
to this was added no accomplishment: r 41%.
soft, sweet voice spoke no foreign tongue; her
pretty white hands could call out music from
no instrument ‘; and although she copal dance
the simple 'figures of the country dances, she
knew 110 rules for a stately carriage, or the
most finished manner of receiving a guest.
George taught her French. It was 1111.umuse
ment to while aWay the dull hours in it cowl:
try village, and Nellie was-nn apt - scholar. its
they bent over the beak in the liille parlor,
what }yonder that they were tempted out, and

verbs. l'aitur And I adore ? Then the old stile
was such a famous place to practice thealuets
George taught Nellie; 'end their united Bblers
woke the echoes in the woods near them,.pro
bably very much astonishing the trees by op•
mut ia turs. '
George had gone home Ito had spoken
no wdrd of love to Nellie, though , every lonk
and notion was more eloquent than the most
studiedspepcb. Ile wrote to her; but the let
ters, thougli treasures t 6 her. did nut fill up l i
the gap his absence, made!, andots the village;_
beauty sat musing on the olil Stile, no ono
would have dreamed that half the male hearts
in the village were made over to her. Old
Farmer Greysomfunied mill fretted at Nellie's
altered ways. and was half tempted to cotnmand
her to accept the son,of his neighbor Jenks.
who was evidently pining away Irma the trou
ble caused in his honest heart by Nellie's in
difference to his. suit.
"Nellie, lass," he had said to her that morn
ing. "I love you true and fondly; will you bo
my wife? Nellie; your town beau has always
beauties around him; he'll forget you, Nellie."
And tho'benut,y, tired by this sneer, vowed
she cared nothing for. her town.cousin, and
would not marry, not because she loved him,
but because there was not a man in the place
worth having,: Oh, Nellie I Nellie!
As the SMt musing on the old stile, she saw
11!*1 villitge.schoolnauster, Henry Sparks, com
ing toivards her.. Now Nellie,. before George
Lawton had turned her silly little heti& had
given most decided encouragement, to Mr.
Sparks ; and he felt fully welcome as he took
a sent beside her on the stile,
" Good - afternoon-, the.
Nellie," - he - said,
trying to detain the band she pettishly drew
from - his grasp, ---- ".Nellie,"-he added, in an
altered nano„ " don't ,be cross! It is so long

was almost ready, the silly little beauty, to
cry, as the.eontrast between her last visitto
the stile with George; and this Orki.. struck
" There, don't cry, Nellie l" said her lover.
"I love you ne dearly ne I ever did; but yet

was slightly bewildered ; bat, remeMbering

, little spice of coquetry had no! died'
out. There was no blush, no' tremor in 'her
greeting of her cousin ; the-hand she placed
- in his was quiet as his own; the voice was
firm, the umlaut. easy and,graceful. George,
the coxcomb, was disappointed.
' Nellie saw her power now. It was a° long

as desperately in -love as she had been herself,
that. Nellie gave him even so much as a smile
of . encourrgement Whenever lie- spoke of
!love. her little innocent look of surprise was
too much for hint; and accustomed to haveids
attentions courted, he was often on the point
of leaving her, and giving up tho pursuit.—
Then Nellie was a belle; the boquots. invita

George wild with jealousies. She had, too,
the most provoking way of referring to rho .

contemptttous pity of her own silly capacity,
for seeing perfection in a. Mall merely from

FAT YOUNG LADIES AND VINEGAR.—Taken'
in moderation ' there is no doubt that vinegar .

ditninished, digestion•is retarded ; if increased,
beyond a bet•tain point, digestion. is arrested

blooming with rosesmnd lilies. She began to
look upon her plumpness with suspicion, for
her mauler was. very fat; and she was afraid -
ofbecoming like her. Accordingly, she con
sultld a woman, who advised her to drink -a
glass of vinegar daily. • The young lady fol
