be witnessed the fatigue ami suacring Il
bis daughter, aud he DECLARED if he ever
set foni in his house again he would
shoot him n soon ss he would dog.
"Iou did we'll, Leah. Ia stay with him
till his property Was gone: but nov the
impoverished scamp had better not ex-
pect you to 90 back again"
About month after, Tom came aud
pleaded for Leah to return; the old gen.
tleman did not shoot him, as he threat
ened, but he babe him begone at once,
as Leah should never leave her present
home to share his poverty aud bear his
abuse again.
Soon after, it WAS reported that Tom
had left the country, and nothing further
was heard from him until in the autumn
Of 1864, When, az the Garrit family, in-
Guiding Leah and her little girl, sat at
breakfast, who should be seen ssuntering
up the street but Tom Cowley. Leah's
first impulse was to run to the gate and
meet him, but Penny Garrit declared he
never should enter bis yard. Selling q
pistol that lay on the mantlepiece, the
old gentleman rushed to the door, and
scrcamed,-
ENTER that gate and you are dead
mani
The man with the satchel halted, made
few grimsces, mimicked Garrit in a
WAY that was quite laughable, and then
coOlly asked
rs my wife stopping with you now9'
At this, Penny was doubly cnraged,
and, with his pistol levcllcd at the young
mans head, he shouted,-
"Bcgone, you poor vagabond! What
business have you here, you vampire
you who probably have not second
coat I" y"nr backs"
"lsnt I've something BETTER" gleefully
chuckIed the sOn-in-law. "Wouid you
like 10 take peep into my satchel, old
man, and see what 1t is9'
1T is doubtless nothing more than a
rum bottle, or other traps quite Ss dis
graceful" quickly replied Garrit.
"The deuce it isl" said Tom, drawing
therefrom an immense roll of greenbacks,
tlourishing them in the air.
The old gentleman put his pistol into
his pocket, and took at least three steps
forward, as If to take nearer view of
the "fithv lucre." Tom, meantime, was
drawing from his satchel still larger rolls
OF bills, until it seemed to Garrit there
must be great many thousand dollars
in his possession.
"When did you get all that money!"
he asked. approaching Tom.
'Been to the oil city"
"Ah!" very pleasantly.
"Made fine thing out of it."
'Indeed!"
"Own we'll there that yields at least
four hundred barrels day."
"Wcll, come in, come in, Tom. Leah
and the child are both here"
"Darn it, believe will"
The two entered the house.
"Here is your husband, Leah" said
Penny; "hope you are glad to see him."
1.-THE ID she is!' exclaimed Tom.
The old gentleman looked happy, the
child bewildered, Mrs. Garrit doubtful,
and Lesh-ah. Heaven pity her! though
petroleum had enriched her husband, it
had not taken the vile language from
his mouth.
