SAD HISTORY OF A YOUNG LADY. (From the Milwaukee Wisconsin | We have some painful facts to narrate about & woman who was recently found in this city in @ moat degraded and wretched condition. A simple sketch of her antecedents will show how rapid is one’s going downward after the first step is taken, and how mercilessly retribu- tion follows after wrong-doing and crime. ‘Ihe woman in question wasa few years since 8 young lady in the seminary of Professor Crit- tenden, in Brooklyn, N.Y. She was then a protege of Henry Ward Beecher, lived with his fumily, and was being educated by him. Of course, she was placed under the most favor- able cireamstances, and had her every want that was reasonable gratified. She was sur- rounded by the very best of associations, and bad been adopted by Mr. Beecher, because of her natural brightness of disposition and intel- Ject. In the school, though she was ri as an eccentric and wayward being, was adwired by all of her companions for her superior quality of mind. No young lady in Prof. Cri (one of the | er in the East) e liant and beautifal a composition as she, and all had to yield to her in intellectual superior- ity. We have thts from one who was a school- mate of hers, that all ker compositions were gems of thought and language, and she prom- ised to become prominent asa female writer. Now comes the first circumstance that poisoned her happy heart. She became a passionate admirer of one who Teciprocated her affections, but was forbidden to tender his hand in marriage. He was al- ready married to another “This first disap- peintment occasioned a violent brain fever, which completely prostrated ber, and in the course of her recovery she was obliged to resort to stimulants, by whieh she acquired a taste for what has since plunged her into the depths of degradation. Afterward she went to Boston, and became a teacher in a House of Refuge. It was an ad- vantageous station for a lady of education and character, and she is said to have filled it at first with great pronise of usefulness. Soon, however, she yicided to the appetite which she had —— within herself when recovering from her previous illness, and she was picked up in the streets of Boston one night in a state intoxication. Mucilis descendus Averni. efforts were made to redeem her, but it was alinost impossible to reclaim a woman once dis- graced. She soon married, and, as we have been informed, married against the wishes of those who bad been her former triendsand pro- tectors. From this time she -inks rapidly, and whether by means of an avenging Deity, or from the natural laws of cause and effect, others may decide for themselves bree or four years elapse. and she came with her husband to Chicago last year. He found employment there, but in the great fire last fall his situation was lost to him. Pretty inuch all winter long he remained destitute of work, pawning away his household goods and clothing meanwhile, and when spring eame they determined to come to Milwaukee. They had one child, and on their way here that was taken away from them at Kenosha. Their verty had now become lamentable indeed, ut undoubtedly their situation might have been much better but fr the accursed article of rum, to which they had both now become addicted. Having buried their child at Keno- sha, they came on here and hired a miserable room in the Third Ward of this city. A few days passed and the wretched woman whose career we have been sketching, was forced to go out and beg from doer to door. In the course of her alims-seeking she chanced upon oue who had been her schoolmate in Brooklyn, and upon another who had known her in Tos tou. ‘earing the worst, but still ignorant of what a wretched creature she had become, they” went to her room where she and her husband were almost freezing and starving. She con- fessed to them that she had had nothing to eat for three long days, and on their rickety old bed there was butasingle sheet to protect them from the cold. There was a single chair with but three legs to it in the room, and seareely any other articles of furniture cum- bered the room. These friends at once hegan to exert them- selves in her behalf, got others interested to aid her and her husband, gave clothes and food, promised them both a plenty of work, and it seemed now that her destiny was taking a favorable turn. The woman wept over her poverty. manifested touching tokens of rean- imation, but here, too, the fire was only being smothered a few days, tu break out again the firet favorable opportunity. The money that was given her to buy bread, was spent at the rum hole; and when she was next ted she was found all demented by intoxication. From that time she turned her back upon all friendly offers of assistance, abandoned her first quar- ters, was afterward found by the authorities in jow houses of prostitution, and has now again robably left the city in company with her pass . She has almost reac! the lowest round of misery, and this once gifted young jady, an adopted daughter of Heavy Ward Beecher, will soon find that peace in death which she had been unable to find in the cup wad in the corruption of licentiousness. - 5 ee {[7* A correspondent of the Sc entific Ameri- ean, writing from Stockton, Cal., states that ground squirrels are so numerous ia that region, that they are a perfect pest to the farmers, as they destroy a very large portion of their cro anuch as $100,000 are expended an fornia in purchasing strychnine, enic, and phosphorus to destivy them, but these poisons seem to produce uo useful result in diminishing theie numbers.
