, HOW I CORTED SAL.
Well, yoa see arter the "poker" scrape, we
an Sal got along middlin' well for some time,
tell I made up my mind to fetch things to a
bed, fur I loved her harder and harder every
day, an' I had an idea that she had a sorter
sneaking kindness fur me, but how to do the
thing op rite pestered mo orful I got some
lur book, and red how the fellers got down on
their marrerbones and talked like poiks, and
the gals they would go into a sorter trance,
and then how they would gently fair inter the
feller's arms, but snmhow or uther, that way
did a' sate my notion. I axed mami how dad
corted her, but she said it had been so long
that she'd forgot all about it ; (Uncle Jo allers
says marm dun all the cortin.) At last I made
up my mind tu go it blind, fur this thing was
fairly a consumin my inards, so I goes over
to ber daddy's, (that's Sal's,) and when I got
there I sot like a fool, thinkin how to begin.
Sal sed sumthin was a troub'in of me, aud ses,
sea she
"Ain't you sick, Peter f"
She sed this mity soft like.
Yes no," ses I ; "that is, I ain't adzactly
well I thought I'd cum over to-nitc," ses I.
That's a mity putty beginnin, anyhow,
thinks I ; so I tried again.
- "Sal," ses I, and by this time I felt mity
fainty an oneasy like about the squizerinctura.
"Whotf" ses Sal.
"Sal," ses I again.
" Whot 1" ses she.
. -'I'll git tu it arter a while at this lick,
thinks I.
"Peter," ses she, "thar's sumthin a trublin
you powerful, I no ; its mity rong fur you to
keep it from a body, fur an innard sorrer is a
consumin fire."
She sed this, she did, the deer, sly creetur
she noed what was the matter all the time
mity well, and was just a try in to fish it out,
but I was so fur gone, I didn't see the pint.
At last I sorter gnlphed dow n the lump as was
a risin in my tbrote and ses, ses I
"Sal, does you luv enny body ?"
"Well," ses she, "tbar's dad, an marm, an
(a countin on her fingers all the time, with
her ise sorter suet, like a feller a shootin of a
gun) an thar's old Pido, (that wur an old cow
uv hern,) as I cant't think uv enny body else
jis now," ses she.
Now, this wur orful fur a teller ded in luv,
so arter a while I tries another sliute.
Sea I
"Sal, I'm powerful loncsuni at home, an I
snrotimes think ef I only had a nico putty
wife to luv an talk to, an to move and have
my being with, I would be a tremendous fel
ler." With that she begins and names over all the
gals in five miles of thar, and never wunst
cum a nigh narain nv herself, and sed I orter
git wun uv them. This sorter got my dander
up, so I hitched my cheer up close to hern,
and shet my ise and sed
"Sal, you are the very gal I've been hank
ering arter for a long time. I lovo you all
over, from the sole uv yere hed to the foot of
yourcrowD, an I don't keer who nose it ; an
ef you say so, we'll be jincd oa tugether in
the holy boons uv matrimony, e pluribus
unum, world without end, amen," ses I ; an 1
felt like I'd throwed up a alligator, I felt so
releeved. With that she fetched a sorter
screem, an arter a while ses, ses she
"Peter."
"What, Sally ?'-' ses I.
"Yes," ses she, a hidin uv her putty face
behind her hans. You may depend on it, I
felt orful good.
"Glory, glory!" ses I; "I must hoiler,
Sal, or I'll bust wide open. Hooraa for hoo
ray I kin jump over a ten rale fence, I kiu
butt a bull off the bridge, and kin do eny and
everything that eny other feller ever could,
would, should or orter do 1"
With that I sorter sloshed myself down bi
hur, and clinched the bargain with a kis, and
sich a kiss talk about yure bhugar talk
about yer merlarsis talk about ycr blackber
ry jam yer could not got me to cum a nigh,
they wud all a tasted sour arter that.
O, these winimen, how good and how bad,
bow high and how low they make a feller feel ;
ef Sal's daddy hadn't a hollered out it was
time fur all 'oncst folks to be in bed, I do
bleeve I'd a staid there all night.
You orter a seed me when I got Luni. I
pulled dad outer bed and I hugged him.
I pulled marm outer bed an' I hugged her. I
pulled ant Jane outer bed an' I hugged her.
I roared, snored, lifted an' hollered ; I erode
tike a rooster ; I danscd about an' cut up more
capers than you ever hearn tell od, till dad
thot I was crazy, an got a rope to tie me with.
"Dad," ses I, "I'm a gwine to be marrid V
"Marrid ." bawled dad.
"Marrid !" squalled roaam.
"Marrid!" squeaked ant Jane-.
"Yes, marrid," ses I; "marrid all over;
marrid to be shure ; marrid like a flash ; jined
in wedlock ; hooked on fur wusser or fur bet
ter, fur life and fur death to Sal, X am that
very thing ; me, Peter Sporum, Esquire."
With that I ops and tells 'em all about it,
from Alpher to Omeger. They was all mity
pleased, and mity willin, and I went tu bed as
proud as a yonng rooster with his first spurs.
O, Jehosafat ! but didn't I feel good, an' kept
a gittin that way all site. I didn't sleep a
wink, but kept a rollin' about ana thinkin,
tift I felt my cup uv happiness full, pressed an
packed down, and a runnin over.
Froze to Death. Rum has its victims ev
ery day causing misery and death in a thous
and way. On the morning of the Sth inst.,
the ore diggers at Blacklick Furnace, Cambria
county, discovered a man named John Cannon,
Jying in a thicket, frozen to death. He was
about thirty years of age, and has a son, aged
about ten years, residing with aii unci in
s Pittsburgh, ne had been at Armagh the pre
Yious day, where he bought a can of whiskey.
This tells the whole story.
'Tis folly to fret ; grief is no comfort.
A woman's work is ncrer at an end.
