Feeding this more forcibly than ever,
ono afternoon when Henry called for

A .traveler in the State of. Illinois,
Bomo years ago, camu to a log cabin on
the prairie, uear'Oario, and there halted?
He went into the bouse of logs. It was
a Wretched affair, with an empty pack
ing box for u table, while two or three
old chairs and a disabled etool graced the
reception room ; tho dark walls of which
wero further ornamented by a displuy of
dirty.tin ware, a broken half articlo or'
two.
1 ho woman was crying iu one Corner^
and the man, with tours in hui eyes and
a pipe iii bia mouth, sat on a stool with
hisldtrty arms zesting ou bis knees, end
bis sorrowful looking bead supported by
the palm of his bauds. " Not a word ]
greeted the interloper. " v.
"Well," said he, "you seem tobe in
awful trouble hero what's up V
? Oh we are most crosy, neighbor,"'"
said the woman, "aud wo ain't got no
patience'to sec folks now." ' - |*
"That's all right," Said the visitor not
much taken aback by this polite rebuff;
"but can I bo of any sorvioo to you in
all this trouble V
"Well, we've Tost trar gal j our Sal is
gone off und left us," said tho man in
tones of despair.
"Ah} do you know what induced Lor
to leave you ?" remarked the new ar
rival. ? ? i \
"Well, wc can't say, stranger as bow
she'a so far loat as to be induced bet then
fhe's gone and disgraced us," remarked
tho afflicted father.
"Yes, neighbor, and not as I should
sny it as is her mother, but there warn't
a pooticr gal Sil tho West than my Sal ;
She's gone and brought ruin ou us,"and
oi her own bend now," followed the!
atnekon mother.
??Who hus she gouo with ?" asked the
vibitvr.
??Well, there'* the trouble. The gal
could have done well and mighthavo mar
ried Martin Kehoe; u capital shoemaker,
who although bo's got but oue eye, plays
the flute in a lively manner, earns a good
living. Then look what a home aud
what u life she has deserted. The gal
was surrounded by nil the luxury io the
country,"'said the futher.
"Ves, and who knows what poor Sal
will have to eat, drink or wear, no*',"
groaned the old wouiau.
" And who is the fellow that ha? taken
her from you to lead hir into such mise
ry," quoth tho stranger.
"Why, d??n him; she's gone off aud
got married to u critter called a lawyer,
as lives iu the villago and the devil only
knows hew they uro to earn a living."
I'an.u, Tit.v vemncj.?"Hallo, tbero,

"Tlaco cents per mile and boarding,"
said tho captain.
"Waal, I guess I'll take passage, cap

Accordingly he got on board as the

of the captain, until ho bad cleared the
t itles, when he got up aud went ou

??How far is it, c.apting, from hero to
where I got on board ?" '.
' Nearly oue and a half miles," said
the captain.
"Let's sec," said Jou than, "that
would be just- four and a half cents ; but
never mind, ctiptiiig, 1 won't be small ;
here's five ccntsj'which pays niy fare to
