The OLD STONE MILL.-The old stone
mill below the levee is going. going, and viii
soon he gone. The workmen are breaking
down its walls, and the stone are being haul
cd away for other uses. The old mill has so
long been prominent on the upper liver, that
its demise demands brief notice, and suggests
few reflections.
The mill was built in 1853 by Coleman
Puett, at a cost Of about $4,000. The ma
chinery, We believe was put in by Mr. Lam
Ter. and little lumber sawed the first season
at the time of building the water wss low
and the tricks Of the Mississippi were not
known, so when the rains descended and the
floods came, the mill was submerged so as to
destroy it for use, and the same thing being
repeated every succeeding year, 1t has stood
there useless since,
SthndiHg isolated, seen far up and down
the river, il has for dozen years provoked the
query from every passer by, "what is ihaig"
and the answers have been many and VARIOUS
1t had worn and aged look, like that Of
many person whose caIly dream of honor
and usefulness has never been realized. Its
mission has never been fulfilled. The sadness
of disappointed expectations seemed to hang
srOund it. but the walls stood up braVely and
met either plying or contemptous look, with
no sign Of emotion. But that it thought much
of these things. we do not dOnbt. for We often
cav its reflections in the water.
That old mill is like the airy castles which
we all have built, with Hope as the architect
and generous Fancy furnishing the materials
1t was built up carefully with much cost and
and with promise Of beneficent results, and
il goes 10 peices under the ruthless hammer Of
the workman, as III palace built by youthful
hope, dissOlves at the touch of hard reality.
There are sermons in stones. the great Poet
tells us. and the stones of those walls contain
a lecture. or suggest reyerie, at least. There
for dozen years they have stood in the eye
Of one Of the worlds great thoroughfares, att
tracing alike the attention of the grave and
gay who passed by. They were observed by
all observers. The laughing girl looked at
at them with thoughtleSs WOE der, and the
steady. calculating eye of the business man
gazed at them and woRdered what they were
there for. Now, they are being slowed awa,g
in basement and cellar walls-never more %
see the gay crowds-the rush of business
the luxuriant veidure-the summer sunshine
and the spotless snew. So, sometimes. does
ayOuth ofpromise and rich endowment. fall
into the dark ways OF vice. and the light of
life is darlened. and the buoyant soul shroud
ed in gloom forever
The old mill is goinss going. and viii soon
BE gone.

pal ticularly from those residing at a distance

of crinoline may be considered permanent for
this season. and. if so. what is the most APP
proved style and shape for hoops. The sub
ject isA much more serious one Il an at fist
appears. for the most expensive and tasteful

most skillful of dressmakees, viii be wanting
in elegance and style if wore over an i'll sh1-
pen or Questionable hoop. In view of this.
we ave given the subject of crinoline our es-
pecial attention and after comparing. and
fully entering into the respective merits of
each and all of the claimants to public favor,
we have concluded that Bradley's New - En-
press Trail Duplex Elliptic Skirt (of which
we give as an illustra.ion.) is the style. of all
others. best adapted to the present fashions of
the ladies, and also the most graceful. stylish
and elegant Skirt ever produced. II has no
rival, except perhaps, in another of Bradley 3
most popular styles, called the " Pride of the
World" which has all tho merits of the for
.mer in regard to fexibiIity. durability, COM
fort and economy. etc. differing from it only
in shape-Frank Lesgie's Lady's Magazine.
