a Life Sketch.
Ely MISS FoRrrSr.

once had fair young friend. as gay and
light hearted as the birds of sumner, without
thousht or care for the morrow; the idol and
pet at home. and general favori,e Abroad
When quite young she had lover who made
proposals for her hand but was rejected by her
father In view of her extreme youth; over
which calamity the sweet innocent Of thirteen
made bitter lameniation. Well they separated :;
he Went South and she went West. Two years
elapsed. and the lover visited her again. This
time The father did not object TO his addresses: !:
hut something went wrong with the lovers.
She became impressed with the idea that he had
become immoral, (whether right wrong |
know not.) and from the impulse of the moment
dismissed him without giving him an opportu-
introduced to gentleman, Gin appearance
who became another snitor. He Metho-
dist by profession. and passed for genuine. She
had no fears for his morality, and they
welded They had not been very long married
before he showed himself villain.
Ten years have passed since they were mar
ried. and the three are in California. The dis
carded lover is aourishing merchant in Sacra-
men'o; the discarded husband is petty gro-
cery man in another city of our State; and the
broken hearted wife is at home again. with her
pa and ma, vet young in years but old in expe-
rience, and on the brink Of the grave. Such is
life

from, and as many Of onr readers are doubtless
too indolent this hot weather to deduce them, we
