THE HISTORY OF A SAD LIFE.

(From the New York tTournal.)
Would your readers care to know the history of
a sad life, which has just ended in Boston, but
which was begun in the retirement of a town in the
interior of New England ? It is not often that more
melancholy details are presented to the public. One
of those numerous individuals who live by their
wits, and fall back upon a singing school as a last
resort, visited one of the town in Connecticut a few
years ago, and early installed himself into the good
graces of one of the most influential and respected a
citizens--a deacon, in fact, in the village church.
Slander—for Once truthful—followed the teacher to
his retirement, and told stories which came near ex-
pelling him from the retreat which he had selected;
but the good deacon remained his firm friend, en-
abling him to meet the individuals who had scat-
tered the alleged libels against him in so bold a
manner as to force the suppov d slanderer to come
to a settlement in a court of law. Victorious here
he remained through tho season. Soon after he
left the town, however, a daughter of the deacon
very strangely insisted on going away from home
to care for herself. Her parents opposed the step,
but she managed to elude their vigilance, and was
not heard of for years. Upon the death of her father,
who was in comfortable circumstances, she emerged
from her retirement, claimed the part of the pro-
perty which was her due, and, upon receiving it,
again left the village, taking every care to conceal
all evidence of her whereabouts. Months passed
on, and a week or two since her friends received
information that the lost one had died in Boston,
and that her remains were awaiting their dis-
posal. They went for them, and, in the ill-furnished
room which bad been her home, found scraps of
paper which revealed to them the life she had led
during her long absence from home. The teacher
of the singing school, while enjoying the hospita-
lity and receiving the hearty support of the father,
had effected the ruin of his daughter. Conscious
of her situation, and determined as far as possible
to shield the family from disgrace, she left home
and went to Boston, where her seducer supported
her in beggarly style as his mistress, making her
rooms his home whenever he visited the city. Just
as his affections were beginning to cool the father
died, and the scoundrel induced his victim to claim
her portion of the estate, promising, if she would
do so, to marry her. Hopeful of some better fate
than that to which she had before been consigned,
she complied with his demands, but after getting -
the larger part of her money under his control, he
treated her as neglectfully as ever. A little girl,
now four years old, the pledge of their illicit love,
and the only coLsolation which she had in her mis-
fortunes, tended her mother in her last illness.
Faithful to the last, the ruined woman destroyed,
as she thought, all the letters which had passed
between her and the destroyer of her happiness,
together with every scrap which could reveal her
identity. But an album and some stray pieces of
letters were found in her apartment, which told
those who took charge of her remains where her
revelations could be found. Further search also
revealed unmutilated letters which left no doubt as
to the individual who had been her paramour. To
add to his crime, it was found that he had a wife
and children elsewhere in Massachusetts. The
statements of the affair in the newspapers gave
him such confidence that all evidence of his guilt
had been destroyed that, when he heard of the
legal steps which the injured family were about to
take against him, he immediately delivered himself
up to the authorities of Springfield (Massachusetts),
the city where he had his residence. He was com-
mitted to gaol, and just before he was transfer-
red to Boston, where he was to meet his trial, his
own relations and many of the people of the
town which had been the scene of his scandalous
exploits visited him in his confinement. With them
was the little daughter of the woman he had ruined.
When she saw the man she had been taught to look
on as her father brought from his cell, she ran to
him, crying, "Papa, papa." The daughter of the
scoundrel's legal wife, a young lady grown up and
married, besought him to acknowledge the child if
she was his, but this he refused to do, reciting a
story to which the greeting he received from the
little girl gave the lie most emphatically. On Sa-
turday he was committed to prison in Boston, in
default of 1,500 dole. bail. The case has excited a
wide-spread interest from the many sad features
which characterise it.
