PROM TUB PAPERS OP THE LATE JOHN BROWN, ESa. There isagood moral in the sketch, .which we copy from the St. Louis Reveille, that the fair sex should note. John. Brown left some /g.o.o4Jtf * - There came a )ady ana gennert»n tb the pria* cipal hotel in Fair view, who took boarding for six months, but kept themseives entirely secla- ded from the good people of the village, Some calls were made upon them, but the well meant efforts o f the villagers were all repelled; for the; lady declined to see any company. Even the; landlady vyas given to understand, that she waS not at any time needed in the apartments of tho strangers, and as they paid well and promptly, she saw no impropriety in the regulation. Mr. and Mrs. Volkenburg, (for that w a s the name they-had on their baggage,) took frequent walks to the mineral springs, then up to the forest and- the gravehill, over to the cave, and. in every direction, but scrupulously avoided all inter course with the town folks, much to tbeir annoy ance. - W hen the strangers had been about three months in the village, the gentleman w«s called away to some distance, and left his wife alone at the hotel. . “I shall be absent a month or six weeks,*” he said to the landlord. “ M y wife will remain,, and she only wishes to live as she has before; done, entirely secluded.” So the stranger set out upon his journey and tho lady remained at the hotel. How of course people’s eyes were open; for wasn’t the fame of the village dear to each one of them, us each one was part and parcel of the village! T o b e sure it was; ahd therefore, it got abroad a few days after, that the strange woman at the hotel had actually sent a note through the post office to -Dr. Jenkins. That evening (for it was afternoon when he received the note,) Dr. Jenkins paid a visit to tbe lady at-the hotel — he actually went into Mrs. Volker.burg’s rciom! Oh, horror! 1 Active measures were now necessary ; this thing couldn’t be endured. The next day a meeting of the elders was called to take the matter into consideration. But there was a power more active than the elders: this was the sympathetic sisterhood of the village who conceived the idea.of calling on the Dr. to confess every thing. T h e y thought this would be belter than a formal trial; he would tell all about it and then be reprimanded, suspended or even expelled-, in a quiet w a y . H a v in g convened, and sent a letter to the D r . requesting his attendance, they awaited his com* ing with all possible patience. Dr. Jenkins vVas announced. W hen he re ceived the note from the ladles, stating' tbat KtY attendance was desired, as they wished to m akt ain exam ination, he was entirely at a loss to im agine w h a t it could m ean, but he concluded 1 the best wav was to go in his professional capacity add see. ’ : • . “ G o o d eVening,^ said the D o c tor, with a pro found bow, “I am *happy to report myself iff answ e r to your call. It is alw a y s pleasant tb w a it on the ladies. V Mrs; Leslie was the oldest lady in the room; not one of the rest noticed fbe salulation of the doctor, but all looked at M rs. Leslie, to see w h a t s h e woo Id do and be g o v erned a c c o rdingly. Mrs. Leslie looked indignant at the freedom of the'doctor’s entrance, and then all the rest looked ifidignant too. M rs. L e s lie'd r e w up beraelf ^rith dignity. “Doctor Jenkins,” *aid she, “ we have met on delicaleljusiness-^w'e Wish you to be penitent, and. in one word, sir, we think you had better confess.” * “Confess/’ exclaimed,the doctor,in unfeigned surprisei. lo make atons- meiit by humility.” •'*<&- “Upon roy word, ladies, I don't nnderetaftd y o u ” said the doctor. “ . : \ . • “ D w & iH id ttm a & V X e x c M m d a M m Z M -
