Writing Of Thuflow Weed in his letter
to the World, Mr.. JENNINGS says:
remember hmm one day telling me .
story which was quite q romance in it.
self, and 90 interesting moreover, which
all romances are not. that ! will venture
to repeat It, merely changing the name
Of the chief parsonage who figured in it.
A gentleman, whom will call Browne
70 friend Of Mr.. Wsed's), was travelling
70 New York IN order to start for Texas,
vhsre b. had . valuable appointment
to all On his way he met . Southsrn
family. consisting Of q husband, his
wife and . young lady. Mr. Browne
Became very much interested In this
young lady, and whom they all arrived
IN Nsw York hs paid her great atten-
tions, and protractsd his stay until
fFisod Of his. Mr.. Thomas Greeley, ~
msnstratsd with him. In explanation
Of his conduct, Mr.. Browne said: II am
determined 70 marry this young girl II
she will have me-, and will speak to her
parents about il this very night" He
was forty-6ve and the girl was nine esn.
In pursuance Of his design he explsined
his position and circumstances to the
family, and the girls father (as Mr..
Browne supposed him TO boz appointed
an hour ct which he would see him in
rsfsreoee 10 his proposal. When Mr..
Browne went to the hotel he found only
the mother. She said: II have sent
my husband out in order that may
speak with you moro freely" She
seemed painfully Affected, and after .
few moments made the following as
stoundina announcement: Tho young
lady whom Won wish to marry 10 your
own daughter"
Mr.. Browne was dreadfully shocked,
bat be Vas soon 1atia6ed Of the truth of
tho lady's words. When ct college in
VsrmonS b had formed an intimacy
With young girl and left her. She vent
TO the South a. governsGs, a. many New
England girls did at that time. After
two years she died, having previously
explained her position and disclosed the
name and family Of the father of her
child 70 the good people with whom she
was then living. They, in their kind
ness Of heart, adopted the child, and it
was while bringing her to New York
that they accidentally encountered the
father, ~ Just described. Mr.. Browne
went on to Texas, whore he died shortly
efterwsrd. He told his friend, Mr..
Thomas Greeley, the foregoing circum-
stances, and Mr.. Greeley related them
to Mr.. Weed 1t the time. find from q
note which I have BY me, that Mr.. Weed
repeated them to me on the 18th Of
September, 1869. am thus minute in
giving my authority, for the story itself
might we'll b the abstract of a highly
sensational novel, and the manner in
which Mr.. Weed told it added much to
it, dramatic force, for he was one of the
best rGeostewrs Imaginable. He had q
ouriously emphatic and earnest way of
talking, which gave to I'll his words
peculiar significance.
The story thus Interestingly related
BY Mr.. jennings was we'll known about
the Aston HouSs twenty years ago.
