SALLY PARSONS DUTY.

The sun that shines on eastern Massachusetts,
specially on buticrcups and Jandeons, and prov
identially on potatoes, looks down on no greener
fields in these days than it saw in the spring Of
1875. fenced in and fenced of by the zlezag
snake. fences of Ezekiel Parsons farm.

orchards were misty with buds, red apples on
the highway shone in the clear light and row
of bright tin pans at the shed door of the farm
house testified TO a sturdy arm and skillful hand
wthin,-arm and hand both belonging to no
less person than Miss Sally, Ezekiel Parsons
only daughter, and the preltiest girl in West
bury (; a shUr., sturdy, rosy little maid, with hair
like ripe chestnut shell, bright blue eyes full
of mischief, and such a sunny, healthy common
sense character one is almost afraid 10 tell of it,
ii is so out Of date now.
But of what use is i, to describe her? How
can | impress upon moderns how enlivenne
and refreshing was her aspect, as she spun, or
secured pans in linsey-woolsey pettcoat and
white short gown. wearing her pretty curls in
cropi George Tucker knew il all without tell

boys, who haunted the picket fence round 'Ze
