How SAL D1sGRACFD THE FAMILY.-A tray
eler in the State of Illinois, some years ago
came to lone hut on the prairies, near Cairo
and then halted. He went into the house of
logs. 1t was wretched affair, with an empty
packing box for d table, while two or three
old chairs and disabled stools graced the re-
ception room, the dark walls of which were
further ornamented by display of dirty tin
ware and a broken def article or two.
The woman was crying in one corner and
the man with tears in his eyes and pipe in
his mouth, sat Oh a stool, with his dirty arms
resting on his knees, and his sorrowful looking
head supported by the palms of bis hands
Not word greeted the nterlopers.
"Wen," he said, 'you seem to be in an aw-
full trouble here; what's up?"
"Oh, We ale most crazed, neighbor," said
the woman, "and we amt got no patience to
see folks now'
"Thats all right, said the visitor, not much
taken aback by this polite rebuff; d" but can
be of any service to you in all this trouble?"
"Well we've lost our gal our Sails gone off
and left US, said the man in sad tones of des-
pair"
"Ah, do you know what induced her to
leave you ?" remarked the new arrival.
"Well, we can't say stranger, as she's so
far lost as to be induced, but then she's gone
and disgraced u.s." remarked the afflicted IA
ther.
Yes neighbor and not as l should say it
as is her mother, but there warn'l pooter
gal in the west than our Sal, she's gone and
brought ruin on Us and on her own head now"
followed the afflicted mother.
"Who has she gone with, asked the visitor.
We'll, there's the trouble. The gal could
have done well, and might have married Martin
kehoe, capital shoemaker, who, although,
he's got but one eye, plays the flute in lively
manner, and earns good Hvin'. Then look
what a home, and what life she has deserted
She was here surrounded by all tie luxury in
the country" said the father.
Yes. who knows what poor Sal will have
to eat, drink or wear, now," groaned the old
woman.
And who is the fellow that has taken her
from you to lead her into such misery ?1 quoth
the stranger.
Why she's gone off and got married to
critter called an editor, as lives in the village,
and the devil only knows how they are to earn
living ?"
