Extraordinary Story.

The following singular story has been told
to us upon the most reliable authority Some
years ago, Il Bristol clergyman, fgood mcan5
died leaving youn& and rather Interesting
widow, with several children, in very etod
circumstri'5es. The lady, who was of rclig-
Gus turn. felt that she was called upon to DO
what she could for the instruction of the work
| ing classes, and chose FOR her sphere of cxcr-
ton railroad ii connexion with tie city. and
then in course of constitution. She read and
spoke 70 thS navvics employed upon it at all
convenient times, when they were catins Their
meals and after they retired from their labor,
and wis alwr' treated with great respect and
regard by the rough and good natured fellows.
One you"g man of the gang, however, and
who was by no means t'c most tcachab'c of
her hearers, she particularly endeavored to
Improve, md, with this view, she sc,,i him to
school in the ncighJorhood, charging herself
with his board aid maintenance; bat, after
he had been there some time, the master hon
estly informed her that, possibly owing to his
age and want of Iuickncss, there was little
chance of his ever learning much.
Upon th'5, the lady declared that she her.
self would undertake his instruction, and to
this end she had the man every evening ht
her house to teach him simple branches of
education. AS she lives in good part of our
suburbs, and is vel! known by her respectable
ncighbors, the circumstance of the mans reg
ular attendance at the hl@cc was soon noticed,
and iumors got abroad that Nrs. wis
educating navy, with the view of ult-
mately marrying him. A lady with whom
she was acquainted hearing these unpleasant
reports, wrote to her, expressing her belief
that it was not true but suggesting some
more prudent and suitable arranB ,mcnt than
this for the improvement of her 1'rotege
Upon which the cergyman's widow wrote
back thai it was quite true she was doing her
utmost to educate and instruct So-and-so
(naming the navvy,) with what ultimate pur-
pose she could lot stoop to state, aecins that
that concerned herself alone, but trusted that
cured, and (thc fair writer continucd) "shc
| had had SO many notes Of inquiry or rcNon-
strancc from hef friends on the subject that
she had circular reply printed, one of which
she begged to inclosc." And incloscd, sure
enough, was printed paper, couched in very
much the same language as tho accompanying
note, and several copies of which have, it
Seemed, got into circulhtion among her friends.
We further hear that the other navyics, the
fellow workmcn of the fortunate man, rcce:tly
waited u on thoir prccepttcss, and whether
really disappearing of the course taken by her,
or cnyious of their co-laborcr. inti,!iated that
they lad no desire to receive any more of her
Instructions So the matter statids, according
to our informant, who has seen one of the
printed circulars above alluded to -B,iaol
Times.
