IThis letter was Immediately answered by Mr..
A. but the answer was returned to him unopened !
We cannot 90 into the succeeding history Of
the circumstances which soon afterward made this
matter public by bringing it before an Ecclesiasti.
cal Tribunal Suffice it that Mr.. A. boarded in the
family Of DR.. n. one Of the principal Theological
Professors in the University, while Professor 2.
sonin-law of DR.. n was residing with his wife in
The same family or rather, made part OF 1t. On
receiving the above letter, Mr. y. as gentleman
in oerpexty applied to his friend Mrs P. for cOun.
sci and direction. She had previously broached the
matter to him, by informing him that Miss D. was
claiming that he had offered himself to her, and
that this story was circulating on her authority.
In reply he had fatty denied the truth Of the state
ment, saying, "he Should be Uery sorry TO hare has
friends think he could be such n fo0t."-Two days
aterward Mrs DR.. N made a call on Miss d. and the
subject of her misunderstanding with Mr.. A. was
soon introduced. The visitor disclaimed any con
fdenta relation to A. or his affairs, and minated
that Miss ID. might trust reservedy IN her friend
ship. For the first time, it now came to Miss ID $
ears that A. was denying that he had ever offered
himself her and asserting that there had never
been any sentiment in the aiiair-not thimbe-
full" This, Mrs. N. asserted, he had stated 70
herself Thus gosded, Miss d. gave a brief state
ment of the whole affair. She desired that nothing
might be said of this to DR.. n. q" He thinks highly
of Mr.. A." said Miss D. "and do not wish to In
lure him in the DIS Estimation She hnaly
agreed, however, to trust entirely TO the discretion
OF her Jealous friend and thus the interview ended
But upon cool reflection, Miss d. called on Monday
