How Sal Disgraced the Family

A traveller in the State OF Illinois
some years ago, came to log hut on
the prairie near Cairo, and there halted.
He went into the house. 1t was wretch.
cd affair--an empty packing box for the
table, while two or three chairs and dis
graceful stools graced the reception room,
the dark walls Of which were further or
namentei by display of tinware 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, on a stool, whith his sorrowful
locking head supported by the palms OF
his hands. Not a word greeted the in
terloper.
"Wen," he said g" you seem to be il
awful trouble here. What's up 90
"Ah, we are almost crazy, neighbor,
said the woman; land amt got no pa
tience to see folks now
That's all right" said the strange
not much taken back by the polite rebui
"but can be Of any service to you
all this trouble ?"
"Well, we've lost our gal our Sal
gone off and left u.s." said the old m a
in tones of ep despair.
"Ah, do you know what induced be
to leave you?" remarked the new arri
val.
"Well we can't say neighbor as hoy
she's so fer lost as to be induced, bu
then she's gone and disgracel u.s." re
marked the afflicted father.
"Yes stranger, and--not as 1 SHOULD
say as is her mother--- but there warn
pootier gal in all the West that on
Sal. She's gone and brought ruin Of
her own head now," followed the strick
en- mother.
"Who has she gone off With" inquir
ed the visitor.
"Well there's the trouble. The ga
could have done well, and might hav
married Martin Cehoc, capital shoema
ker, who although he has but one eye
plays the flute in lively manner an
earns a good living Then look what
life she has deserted; she was here sur
rounded by all the luxury in the coun
try" said the father.
"Yes, who knows what poor Sal viii
get to eat, drink and wear now" groan
ed the old woman.
"And who is the fellow who has ia
ken her into such misery?"
"WAy she has gone off and got marriec
to critter called an Editor, as lives il
the village, and the Lord only know
how he's to airn living"

An Idea Oftsse Divinity.

A friend tells tn following good story
about himself:
When an idle boy he was called up in
a country school. and the question sud
denly propounded by the pedagogue
"Patrick, how many gods are there?"
Pat was not distinguished theologian
then, and years have made him no better
every fast' in such matters, but he
promptly replied
"Three, SIR"
"Take your seat" thundered the mas
ter, "and if in five minutes you don't an
swer correctly, I'll welt you"
The probationary period passed, and
Pat. taking the floor hesitatingly, stated
the number at "tive, SIR" He received
the promised "welting" and remand to
his seat ten minutes for consideration.
Ten minutes up, Pat was up too, and
satisfied that he hadn't fixed the matter
sufficiently high before, he shouted
"There's ten, sill"
He saw the ferule descending, and Dol
ting out of the door; he cleared a fve-rai
fence, and broke like quarter horse
across the field. Painting with exertior
he met lad with book under his arm
and with look of one desiring the pur
suit of knowledge under difficulties :
"Where are you going?" asked Pat.
"To school yonder,' was the reply.
"You are, are your" said Pat, quietly
GLOW many Gods are there %
"One," answered the boy.
"Well Won had better not po dowr
there. You'll have a good time will
your one God. l have just left there
with ten, and that wasn't enough to save
me from the darndest licking you ever
heard of

AFTER THE BATTLE
BY VIRGINIA f. TowNsE ND.

1t was over at last The sun, which
had walked slow and calm through the
long hours of that terrible day, had gone
down in a column of fire behind the wes-
tern hills, and now the stars were COM
ing ont swiftly, like golden petals scat
tered all over an azure sky.
And the stars looked down on the bat
tie field, as they come out and looked
down for scores of years on the fair young
land which has arisen in her strength and
beauty, until amid all the nations there
was none to compare with heron the
great cities that were hung like jewels on
her green bosom-on the broad harvest
fields that waved their tresses of Joy thro'
her golden summers on the houses
where the dwellers thereof sat peaceful
and happy under their own fig tree-on
all this had the stars which came up
night by night to the watch-towers oil
the sky looked, until at last there came a
change-and now where the harvest had
waved their locks in the summer winds,
was the most terrible sight which the sun
had ever beheld-the conflict had waged
hot and terrible that day.
The hearts of the distant mountains
had shudder with the thunder of can
ron, and the earth drank in blood, as in
autumn SIZE drinks the equinoctial rain
but at last the days awful work was
done; and the nights winds lifted the
gray banners of smoke from the battle
field.
The air was full OF heat and smell OF
powder; the dead lay thick together
with stark ghastly faces on the trampled
grass; and wounded lay thick, also, fill
ling the air with mosns-riderless horses
rushed over the field; and the dying day
light and solemn stars watched over all
A little way from the battle field ran
small stream, making blue fold in th'
dark grass, and two wounded men hat
crawled to its banks to slack thei
thirst.
And when the two men crawling along
the bank looked up and met each other
face, they knew they were enemies, ano
they knew too. that few hours ago eacl
had aimed his rifle at the other, and ths
aim, bad made the ghastly wound
little way from the heart. which hat
drank the life blood of each, and eacf
glared desperately on his adversary mo
ment before he fell.

StOneWaII JacksOn's Admission
into Heaven.

i was much amused at the rebel pris'
oners' account OF Stonewall Jackson s
admission into Heaven. They were
strong admirers of General jackson, and
especially of the great success of his flank
movements. The day after his dcath, said,
they, "two angels came down from Heav-
en- to carry Gen. jackson back with
them. They searched all through the
camp but could not find him. They went
to the prayer meeting, to the Hospital
and to every other place where they tho't
themselves likely to find him; but in vain.
they were then finally forced to return
without him. What was their surprise
to find that he had Just executed splen-
did flank movement and got into Heaven
before them. - Correspondent Boston

Nails i'm Fruit Trees,

A gentleman stated to us that while on
a visit to neighbor, his attention was
called to large peach orchard every tree
of which was totally destroyed by the
ravages of the worm, with the exception
of three, and that these were the most
thrifty and flourishing peach trees be ev-
err saw. The only cause Of their superb
ority known to his host was an expert
ment made in consequence of observing
that those parts of wormeaten timber in.
to which nails had been driven were gen.
orally sound. When his trees were abou
a year old he drove temporary mai
through the body near the ground as pos
sible. While the balance of his orchard
had failed and finally yielded to the raw
ages OF the worms, three of these tree:
selected at random, treated precisely i
the same manner with the exception o
mailing, had always been healthy, fur
nishing him at the same period with tn
greatest profusion of the most lusciou
fruit. 1t is supposed that the salt of iro
afforded by the nails is offensive to tn
worms, while it is harmless, perhap
even beneficial to the tree. A chemica
writer on this subject says
"The oxydation of the rusting of tn
iron by the sap evolves amonis which, a
the sap rises, will of course impregnat,
every particle of foliage and prove toc
severe dose for the delicate palate of in
truding insects
The writer advises driving half-a
dozen nails into the trunk. Several ex
periments of the kind resulted success
fully.
