NANCY'S LOVERS.
William Tansley, familiarly called Tip,
having finished his afternoon's work in
Judge Boston's garden, milked the cows,
and given the calves and pigs their sup
per—not forgetting to make sure of his
own—stole out of the house with his
Sunday jacket, and the secret intention of
going " a sparking." Tip's manner of
setting about this delicate business wad
characteristic of his native Shrewdness.
lie usually went well provided with gifts;
and on the present occasion, before quit
ting the Judge's-premises, he"drew upon"
a certain barrel in the barn, which was
his bank, where he had made, during the
day, frequent deposits of green corn, of
the diminutive species called tarket—
smuggled in from the garden, and design
ed for roasting and eating with the widow
13lynn's pretty daughter. Stealthily, in
the dusk, stopping now and then to lis
ten, Tip brought out the little milky ears
from beneath the straw, crammed his
pockets with them, and packed full the
crown of his old straw hat; then, with
the sides of his jacket distended, his
trousers bulged, and a toppling weight On
his head, he peeped cautiously from the
door to see that the way wm clear for an
csea: , e to the orchard, and thence, "cross
lots," to the , widow Blynn's house
Tip was creeping furtively behind a
wall, stooping, with one hand steadying
his hat, and the other his pockets, when
a voice called his name.
Tt was the voice of Cephas Boxton.—
Now if there was a person in the world
whom Tip feared_ and hated it was "that
Cephe," and this for many reasuns, the
hief of which was that the Judge's son
diT, upon occasions, flirt with Miss Nancy
who. :haring the popular prejudice
iu t;tvor of fine clothes and riches, pre
ferred, apparently, a single passing glance
from tlephas to all Tip's gitts and atten
tions,
Tip-'dropped down behind the wall.
" Tih Tansley !" again balled out the
hated voice.
But the proprietor of that euphonious
name not choosing to answer to it, re
mained quiet, one hand Mill supporting
his hat, the other his pockets, while young
Buxton, to whom glimpses of the 'afore
said bat, appearing over the edge +of the
wall,, had previously been visible, stepped
quickly and noiselessly to the spot. Tip
crwt,hed, with his unconscious eyes in
the gra , :s ; Cephas watched hint good bu
nt,_,.;(;tily, leaning over the wall.
1 It is isn't Tip, what is it?" And

Cephas struck one side of the distended

i stn icktm Tip.
Ti..., rivals stood with th 6 wall between
them—as ludicrous a contrast, I dare as
sort, 116 ever two lovers of one woman pre
;(2ll tell.
Tip. ahasbed and afraid, brushed the
hair out of his eyes, and made an unsuc
cess•ful attempt to look the handsome and
Cephas in the face.
"Do you pretend you did not hear,
with all these ears T' said the Judge's
son.
. .
"I-1 was buntin' fur a shoe string,"
murmured Tip, casting dismayed glances
along the -ground. -"I lost one hero
sum errs."
" Tip," said Cephas, putting his cane
under Master Tansley's chin to assist him
in holding up his head, "look me in the
eye, and tell me—what is the difference
'mixt you and that corn ?"
" I d'n' know—what!" And libera—
ting his chin, Tip dropped his head again,
and began. kicking in the grass in search
of the imaginary shoe-string.
" That is lying on the ground, and you
are lying—on your feet," said Cephas.
Tip replied , that he was going to the
woods fur bean-poles, and that he took the
corn to fced - the cattle-in the Rhack pas
tur', 'cause they hooked.
" I wish you were as innocent of hook
iu the' cattle are!" said the incredu
lous Cephas. "Go and put the saddle on
Pericles."
•Tip proceeded inn straight line to the
stable, his pociate dropping corn by the
way, while Cephas, laughing quietly,
walked Op and down under the trees.
ready," muttered Tip, from
the barn•door.
- _
Instead of leading Pericles out, he left
him in the-stall, and climbed up into the
hay-loft to hide, and brood over his mis
fortune until his rival was gone. It was
not alone the affhir of the stolen corn that
troubled Tip ; but from the' fact that Pe
ricles was I ordered,. he suspected that Cc
phas-likewise purposed paying a visit to
Nancy Illynn. Resolved to watch and
wait his departure, he lay under the dusty
roof, Miewing the bitter cud -of envy; and

,on - bisbont.'
"I luf to rub a colt. It does 'ens so
much good," rejoined the Judge, " Ce
phas, if you're going by Squire Stedman's,
I'd like to have you call and get that
mortgage "
" I don't think I shall ride: that way,
father. I'll go for it in the morning,
however."
" Never mind, unless you happon_that
way. JUstlitind me a wisp of that straw,
Cephas." „
Cephas handed his father the straw.—
The Judge rubbed away some seconds
longer, then said carelessly: 6
" If you are going' up the mountains, I'
wish you would stop and tell Colby I'll
take those lambs, and scud for 'em next
week."
" fin not sure that I §hall go as far as
Colby's," replied Cephas.
" - People say"—the Judge's voice chan
ged slightly—"you don't often get further
than the widow Blynn's when you travel
that road. How.is it ?"
" Ask the widow," said Cephas.
" Ask her daughter, more like," re- '
joined the Judge. "Cephas, I've hind o'
felt as though I ought to have a little talk
with you about that matter. I hope you
ain't fooling the girl, Cephas."
And she Judge, having 'broached the
subject to which all his rubbing had been
introductory, and his re narks a prologue,
waited anxiously for his son's reply.
Cephas assured him that he could nev
er be guilty 'of fooling any girl—much
less one so worthy as Miss Nancy Biynn.
" I'm glad to hear it !" exclaimed the
Judge. "Of course I never believed you
could do such a thing. But we should be
careful of appearances, Cephas. Just
another little handful of .straw i that will
do ) People have already get up_ the_ab,
surd story that you are going •to marry
.Nancy."
Tip's ears tingled. There was a brief
silence, broken only by the rustling of the
straw. Then Cephas said :
" Why ab,urd, father?'.
" Absurd—because-----why, of course, it
isn't true, is it ?"
"I must confess, father," replied cc
phas, -" the idea has occurred to tne that
Nancy—Lwould ,mulce me—a good wife..P
It is impossible to say which was most
astonished by this candid avowal, the
Judge.or Master William Tansley. The
latter had never once imagined that Ce
; phas's intentions respecting Nancy were
so serious; atictvw the inevitable
_con
viction forced upcni him, that, if his rich
rival really wished to marry her, there'
was no possible chance left for him, smote
his heart with qualms of despair.
• " Oephas, you stagger mei! said the
fudze i i_ "A pung.man of,.qour educa
tion and prospects"--;•-
" Nancy is EloOsitliout some education,

hesitated. " Better than that, she has
heart and soul. She is worthy to be any
man's wife :"
Although Tip entertained precisely the
same opinions, he was greatly dismayed
to bear them expressed so generously by
Cepbas.
The Judge rubbed away again at Pe
ricles' flanks and shoulders with wisps of
straw.
"No doubt, Cephas, you think so—
and sartin I haven't anything agin' Nan•
ey—she's a good girl enough, fur's I
knew. But just reflect on't—you're of
age, and in one sense you can do as you
please, but you ain't too old to hear to
reason. You know you might many
'most any girl you choose."
"So I thought, and I choose Nancy,"
Inswered Cephas, preparing to lead out
Puleles.
"I wish the hoss'd fling him, and
break his neck l" whispered the devil in
rip's heart.
" Don't be hasty; wait a minute, Ce
plias," said the Judge. "You knoW
what I mean—you could marry rich

rid of these boyish notions. Just think
how it will look for a young man of your

ye thinking of, Cephas?"
"I bear" replied Cephas, quietly, "she
does her sewing well."
" Well ; suppose she does ? She'd make
a good enough wife for soma , such fellow
as Tip, no doubt; but I thought a son of
mine would ha' looked higher. Think of
you and Tip after the same girl. Come,
if you've any pride about you, you'll pull
the saddle off the colt and stay at home."
Although the Judge's speech, as we
perceive, was not quite free froin provin
cialisms, his arguments were none the
less powerful.on that account. He said
' a good deal more in the same strainehold

ask, can . I, for instance, marry Melissa
Moore? Next to Nan‘cy, she is the pret

Tip Tansley,-more-excited than-he -had
ever been in his life, waited until the two
had left the burn; then, creeping over
the hay, . hitting his — head - in the dark
against the low raftersOie elid down from
his hiding-place, carefully descended the
stairs, gathered- up what-lie-could find of
the scattered ears of tacket, and set out
to run through the orchard and across the
fields to the widow Blynn's cottage. The
evening was starry, and the - glittering
edges of the few dark clouds-that lay low
in the east predicted the rising- moon.—
Halting only to climb fences, or to pick
up how and then the corn that persisted
in dropping from his or to scru
tinize some object that the-thought looked
" pokerish" in the dark J. prudently shun
ning the dismal woods on one side, and
the pasture where the hooking" cattle
were on the other, Tip kept on, and ar
rived, palpitating
_and. 'perspiring, at
the widow's house, just as the big, red
moon was coming up amidst the clouds
Over the hill. He had left a good deal
of his con and all his courage behind him
in his flight ; for Tip, uNdently as he loved
the beautiful Nancy, could lay no claim
to her on the poetical ! , round that " opt),
the bravo deserve the fair." . .
With uncertain knuckles Tip rapped
on the humble door, having- first looked
through the kitchen window and seen the
widow sitting there, sewing V the light
of a tallow candle..

"Good evening, W lititii;" Said Mrs.
Glynn, opening the ch % with her, skcc
tacks on her torches (;. and her viork
gathered up in herki '''.pnder the lf;ent
figure. "Come in; ta ce a chair." '
" Guess I can't stop," replied Tip; sid
-ling—into—the—room- with -his hat on.-- ,
" How's all the folks? Nancy to hum ?"
"Nancy's up stairs; I'll speak to her.
Nancy," called the widow at the chamber
door, " Tip is here ! I.3etter take a chair
while yoil stop," she added, smiling upon
the visitor, who always on arriving
"guessed he couldn't stop," and usually
ended by remaining until be was sent
away.
" Wal, may as well; jest as cheap §ittin'
as standin'," said Tip, depositing the bur
den of his personality—weight 1 tO Ibs—
upon one, of the creaky, splint-bottomed
chairs.
" Pooty warm night, kind o'," raising
his arm to wipe his face with his sleeve,
upon which an car of that discontented I
tacket took occasion to tumble upon the
floor. " Hello ! what's that? By gra
cious if 'tain't green corn I Got any
fire ? Guess we'll have a roast."
And Tip, taking off his hat, began to •
empty his stuffed pockets into it.
" Law me !" said the widow, squinting
over her work, " I thought your pockets
stuck out aniazin'l I ha'n't had the first
taste of green corn this year. It's real
kind o' thoughtful in you, Tip; but the
tire's all out, and we can't think of roast.

" Mebby Nancy chuckled qT-ip,
"Ain't she comic' down ? Any time to

voice, to be heard by his beloved in her
retreat. " You do'no what I bro't yo!"
Now, sad as the truth may sound to-the
reader sympathizing with IN. Nancy
cared little what he had brought, and ex
perienced no very ardent desire to come
.down and meet him. She eat at her win

The widow furnished the requjred .ar

happened to be a Testament, and using
the cover as a rule, marked oat the plan
of a game.
"FOX - and geese, NaneY; ye play ?"
And having picked off a sufficient number
of kernels from one of the ears of corn,
and placed them upon the slate for geese,
he selcted the largest he could find for
a fbx, stuck it upon a pin, and proceeded
to roast it in the candle.
" Which'll ye have, Nancy ?"—pushing
the slate toward her; "take your choice,
and give me the geese; then beat_ine if
you can ? Come, won't you play ?"
" Oh dear, Tip, what a tease you are!"
said Nancy. "1. don't want to•play. I
must work. Get mother to play with you,
Tip."
" She don't wanter 1" exclaimed Tip.
" Come, Nancy; then .I'll tell ye suthie
I heard jist 'fore I come away—suthin'
'bout you!"
And Tip, assuming a careless air, pro
ceeded to pile up the ears of corn, log
house fashion, upon the table, while Nan
cy was finishing, her seam:
<< About me'!" she echoed.
" You'd ha' thought so !" said Tip, sly
ly glancing over the corn as he spoke to
watch the effect on Nancy. " Cephe and
the old man had the all-firedest tow—tell
yov."'
Lie hitched round in 'his chair, and rest
his elbows on his knees, looked up,
shrewd and grinning, into er face.
"W illiamTansley, what do you mean ?"
" As if you couldn't guess . C was

<I How do ou know that ?" demanded
Na. 74.
"'Cause I heard ! The old man stop

"Is that true, Tip?" cried the widow,

" True as I live and breathe,' and draiv

Tip solemnly affirmed.
" Just as I always told you, Nancy !"

rear a word to it, I always said. Now
don't, feel bad, Nancy; don't mind it.—
It'll be all for the best, I hope. Now

She saw plainly by the convulsive
movement, of the girl's bosom and the
quivering of her lip that passionate de
monstration was threatened. The mean

er, comfort ng his neck and looking up with
leering malice into her face until his nose
nearly touched 'her cheek.
"What do you think now of Cephe
Boston ?" he, asked tauntingly ; " hey ?"
• A stinging blow upon the ear rewarded
his impertinence, and he recoiled with
such sudden impetuosity that his chiar
went over and threw him sprawling upon
the floor. -
" Gosh all Hemlock !" he muttered,
scrambling to his feet, rubbing first his
elbow, then his ear. " What's that, fur, •
I'd like to know—knoeltim a feller down?"
" What do I think of Cophas Boston ?"
cried Nancy. I think the same I did
before— why shouldn't I? Your slander
is no slander. Now sit down and behave
yourself, and don't put your face too near
mine, if you don't want your ears boxed !"
" Why, Nancy, how could you !" groan- ,
ed the widow.
Nancy made no reply, but resumed her
work very much as if nothing had:hap

'Hurt yon much, William ?"
" Not much ; only it made my elbow '

• One evening it was stormy, and Nancy
and her mother were together in the plain,
tidy kitchen, both sewing and both si

told ye turned out about so, after all;

At Nancy's look of distress Mrs. Blynn
made signs for Tip to. forbear: But he

rain with an,m,.'citing pied of news to be
thus easily silenced. ,

Hugely satisfied wits r• the effect this
announcernentt produced, Tip 'sptawled
upon a chair and chewed a stick, like one
resolved to make himself comfortable for
the evening:
" Saxafrax—ye want some ?" he said,
breaking off with his teeth a liberal piece
of the stick. "Say, Nancy !ye needn't
look so mad. Cephe has sold out, I tell
ye ; and when I offer ye saxafrax yo may
as well take some."
Not without effort Nancy held her
peace ; and Tip, extending the fragment
of the sassafras-root which his teeth had
split off; was complacently urging her to
accept it—"'Twas real good"—when the
sound of hoofs was heard ; a .halt at the
gate ; a horseman dismounted, leading his
animal to the shed ; a voice saying, "Be
still, Pericles !" and footsteps approaching
the door.
"Nancy ! Nancy !" articulated Mrs.
