How Sal Disgraced the Family.

A traveller in the State of YER
mont, some years ago, came to a
log hut, and there halted. He went
into the house of logs. 1t was a
wretched affair, with an empty
packing box for table, while two
or three old chairs and disabled
stools graced the reception room,
the dark walls of which were further
ornamented by a display of dirty
tin-ware and a broken shelf-article
or two. -
The woman was crying in one
corner and the man, with tears in
his eyes and pipe in his mouth, sat
on stool, with his dirty arms rest
ing on his knees and his serrowful
head supported by the palms OF his
hands. Not q word greeted the in
tertoper.
WELL he said. you seem to be
in an awful trouble here; what's up?'
ooh, we are most crazed, neigh
bor;;' said the woman, and we amt
got no patience TO see folks now
That's all right said the visitor,
not much taken aback at the polite
rebuff; sbut can't | be of any service

We'll, we've lost our gal-our
Sall's gone off and left U.S. said the
man, in tones Of despair.
'Ah! do you know what induced
her to leave you?' remarked the
new arrival.
We'll, we can't say stranger, as
how she's SO far lost as TO be in
duced, but then she's gone and dis

father.
Yes, neighbor, and not as | should
say it, as her mother, but there
waren't potter gal in the east than
our Sail; shes gone and brought rum
on US and on her own head now. fol-
lowed the stricken mother.
Who has she gone with? asked the
visitor.
Well, there's the trouble. That
gal could have done well, and have
married Martin Kenoe, capital
shoemaker, who although he's got
but one eye, plays the fiddle in a
lively manner and earns good liv-
ing. Then look what a home and
what a life she has deserted! She
was here surrounded by all the lux
ury in the country, said the father.
Yes who knows what poor Sail
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? quoth the stranger.
Why, she's gone off and got mar
ried to critter they call an EDITOR,
as lives in the village, and the devil
only knows how they earn their own
living!
