"Lizzie, do run to the wunlet, j1

Palmer's. T
'I believe,' replied Liz/ie, 'that it is

'Which Mr. Brown ? for you know
there are live Browns live in the north
parish, and two in the east.' *
'It is Mr. James Brown, who lives
close to toe' old red school house.'
'I wonder il he remembers the quilt*
in all the young lolks went to at Mr.
Mnyland's when Lucy Mayland was
L'ittin ready to be married to Ben Pal 1
iner.
Ben didn't much think, then, that '
he should ever be a deacon, 1 guess; '
and Lucy bad as little thought ol bcin 1
a deacon's wife* Jeeines Brown mean? {
to have Lucy, and hci lather encouraged
him all he conhl, lor lie had a lirsl- :
rate larm, tree and clear Irom all incumbrance;
while Ben had nothin on 1
the face of the airth to depend on hut '
his head and hau ls. For all thai, he's
worth twice as much now as Jim;ins J
Brown is.' r
'Well, as I was sayin, Luc y Mayland j *
was gitlin ready to he married; and j
one pleasant day in January she in- H
vitea all the young lolks, far ami near, I I
to a quiltln. I guess you never went I 5
to a right down old-fashioned quiltin; )
did you Liz/.ie?'
'1 suspect 1 never did.' ?
'You don't know what it is then to
have a real good time, and enjoy your- 1
sell. I d give more to go to one '
quillin, such as I used to go to in my x
young days, than to lorty parties, such
as ihey have now. All the gals made '
a |>int ol havin dinner earlv veln.i. t
there was gout to bo one, so as to be *
on the spot, ami ready to go to work at t

ynrng men, in a gin'ral way, did'nt | a
come till al ter daiu; and 1 ?y that time ; :l
the quilt, unless there was uncommon v
deal ot work in it, w is rolled up into ''
a party small compass.
The quill Lucy was goin to have
ijuilUul, tbe time Pin speakin of, was 1
a dreadlu 1 handsome one. 'Twas made 1 u
ot patch work called the risiif sun, and j (1
had jebi cQine into fashion. There h
wasn't room tV>J* one halt ot us to sit i
round the quiit at a time; but the
more the merrier, you know; ami while y
one net were 3JL work the oilier had ''
nothin to do hut to enjoy themseles. "
Sometimes we laughed and ehalled, ^
and when we got tired id that westing I

It had got to near seven o'clock, and
