Composed In compliance with the re-
quest Of lady friend.
| long had loved Sal Jones, but she
Could dress so much finer than me,
That could never think to go
In company with her, you know.
But I'd pass by thar once n week,
And every time she'd grin and speak,
And look so sweet, my heart would nut
ter,
And half bcwildercd would mutter,
Good monin' Sal, and how's your
MOTHER"
And then I'd call her little brother,
And talk to him, but watch the door
TO see Sal trip across tbs floor.
She'd step quicker than MANS pet lamb,
And throw the pots round with n slam;
For gals arc cunnin' things you see,
And Sal was spreadin' nets for mo.
She was tarnal purity gal,
Ana all the boys were alter Sal,
Which got me so COMPOUNDED skcered
could not sleep was SO 'feered."
Now knew man to be dads Eve,
so just swore to her III leave,
II he did not get me some clothes,
Which filled her eyes and swelled her
nose.
knew was all scttin' then,
For wemcn's tears soon soften men;
Aud dad just give it up right straight,
When man told him wouldn't wait.
He went to town and bought for mo
The finest pair of bOots-whooppee!
With brooches, coat and satin vest,
And paper collars 'mong the rest.
| put them on, and nam and dad
Both vowed ! was Il handsome lad,
While reached back and smothod my
hair, Sc ,s.4t. -...
And thought how Sal at me would stare
| felt 10 large. so tall and grand
could not either sit or stand; . .
But made for Joues's like Il bee, i.f
For thar my honey was you see.
When got thar old Jones and wife,
Both viewed they could not for their liz,
Tell who was, till just before
bowed and entered in tho door.
"Why Josh, you arc a man. said they
While Sal with her sweet eyes so gray,
Looked up and answered eyes, and he
No doubt a husband soon will be.
"For heard Betsy Virgins say
When | was thar the other day,
That she intended to have you
For your black hair and eyes 30 blue"
When Sal said this, he knew full we'll
But gals IN trickery excel
That for Beta did have no use,
And only did It for excuse,
Or bait to make me own thatshc
Herself WAS all the gal for mo;
But this was too green to know,
And let the golden moment go.
CAPPED and stretched, and saunterc,
round, IN. L.Ir,-
On sparkin' firmly bent and bound,
AZ soon M Sal the work got done
And she was goin' in u run.
AS soon rs supper was all DER
And Sal had swept the kitchen floor,
sat down tremblin' by her side,
And every art at Courtship tried
We talked of chickens, ducks and geese
And which sheep had the whitest fleece
And all about old Flowers calf,
And every time she'd grin I'd laugh.
Thus we went on in busy chat,
Talking of this and then of that,
Till |, by chance, asked Sal if she
Loved big Bill rompkins more than mt
This set all things to goin' right,
Aud hanishcd cv'ry trouble quite,
For she pronounced me all her own,
In words that would have melted ston,
l(elt love glowing IN my soul,
And streams OF bliss upon me roll,
For now thought she'd be my wife,
And with that end all toll aud strife
lgrahbcd her In my arms aud felt
BY very soul within me melt,
Like sugar poured in lasscs sweet,
The minute that our lips did meet.
We Rugged and busscd, aud busscd agi
Aud bussod soloud old Jones came In
with poker drawn to crack my bead
Good heavens but for life fled!
Hoped the lcncC--old Dash opcd me,
Aud tore my brceches to- the knee,
Which, when tho noighbor boys foun
out,
Thoy Knocked mo jump and yell, an
shout.
by love waa strong, but hnd TO die.
For not boy beneath the sky,
Gould face his gal, much less her dad,
lf he had Jared hut halfas bad.
