An which the JOUUNAL has a larger circulation than all other county papers comttned. Adivrt inert mair a note of this WHAT IS I\ A SAME. There is a man iu our village w hose name is Thomas Brown. This is not a remarkable fact iu itself, but thia particular Brown met with a little adventure not long ago, that is really too-good to let pass. Brown isaw*i?ower, en the ether shady side Of forty, *and rafber well to do injthis world's goods. He is not good looking; in fact he looks rather the other way, but somehow be has managed o secure two better halves, oetkvmg booh. Since his hist wife's death, he has been living in our village inn (dignified by the name of hotel), and has spent more of Us time in—well, looking around or a third Mrs. Brawn. Not long go tbe land-lord handed him a let ter directed to Thomas Brown, Esq— Hotel, Stillwater. He opened it and read: MY DEAR BROWN:— I have just bought a house in the town of B and have moved my wife and daugh ter there for the summer. I will be detained in the city for a week yet; • couldn't vou, like the good fellow you are, go over to B—and stay there until I come ? It's true you never inet auy of my family but me, but this letter will be a sufficient intro duction to them, and I will guaran tee you a hearty welcome. Make yourself completely at home, as if I was there, and have an eye over things in genera). Do this for your own school fellow. HIRAM JUDKINS. Brown stared at this letter for full two minutes after re&diDg, and then broke his spell of enchantment by commencing to vigorously scratch his head. He thought over all the boys be used to go to school with and play marbles with, but did not remember any Hiram Judkins. He never recollected bearing the name before, and the harder he scratched his head the more mysti fied he became. He looked up the address on the envelope and read Thomas Brown, Esq., again. He was tbe only one of that .name in Stillwater, consequently the letter mast be meant for him; but who and what was Iliram Judkins ? So deep did bis cogitations become and so engrossed was he in solving tbe enigma that he twisted his face into every imaginable shape, to the con sternation of the landlord, who ha£. been standing by watching nis bord* er and who asked him if he had pain, and advised a little gin and water as a relief. Brown replied by turn ing on his heel aud walking off. All that day he spent in endeavoring to freshen his mem ory of school days, bat at night had conjured up no vision of a Hiram Judkins. Re used to know a Hiram Sands, and us the recollection flashed upon him lie thought he had solved the enig ma, as 'Hiram might liave married somebody by the name of Judking, and reversed the order of things by dropping his own name and taking Ahe lady's.. But on second thought die scouted this idea entirely, and by night he was no nearer tbe solution >than in tbe morning. One thing he decided upon though. He would go to B and seek up the Judkins family, minus Hiram, and then de cide whether the letter was intend ed for him. That night l>e dream ed of a man who had a thousand and .one names pinned on bis back, and £itl of these names were Hiram Jud kins. He triad to catch a glimpse of the man's face, but he peisist ently turned his back to him. The next mruing he made bis nec essary arrangements and started in the noon tram for B——arriving t there he had a little difficulty in > finding the neat little cottage which Mrs. Judkins and her daughter had Just commenced to occupy, and with rather a nervous tread be walked up dhe pretty path from the gate to the vf ront porch and timidly knocked at j ibe door. . He was ushered into a neat little parlor by a matronly lady, who when lie inquired after Mrs. Hiram Jud kins, informed bim that she was the person. "I have just received this letter from your husband," he commenc ed, as be pulled it out of his pocket and handed i; to her. She took it, and upon looking over ta contents exclaimed, "Ah, yes; this is Mr. Brown? lam glad to aee you, air. My liusband : s friends are mine, and you must make yourself at home here—do just as you please. Perhaps you would like towash after traveling." and . not waiting for an auswer she rang tithe,bell, -and continued to tbe young •flirl who answered the summons, I 'Mary A UP,'take this genUewun up to tbe third story front room and see 'that lie is attended too.'' Brown saw that it would not do to seek an explanation in the pre sence of the servant, ro he quietly submitted to being led up-stairs and dismissing the girl he shut the door and began to ruminate £ou what should be the next move. It was evident that he was getting himself iuto a scrape, and he concluded to explain matters at the earliest oppor tunity. The supper bell interrupted his meditations, and it was with rather a nervous air that he answer- e d the summons. He fouud Mrs. Judkins already at the head of the table, while opposite her sat a young girl, that he found to be her daught er, and whom he afterwards describ ed to be the handsomest pioce of feminine coquetry that he ever be held. He tork his seat at the place de signated him, after being introduc ed to the daughter, aud the meal be gan. Brewn felt lie could not ex plain matters in the presence of all their loveliness, and at concluded to wait uutil some more auspicious moment. Mrs. Judkins kept up an animated conversation, and finally touched on her absent husband. "Where did you aud he become acquainted, Mr. Brown ¥" Brown remembered Judkins' note, and said, flatteringly, "I think it was at school, ma'am!" "At school!" Acclaimed the little woman, repeating the words, "and you have continued such good friends ever since ? I ha7e often tried to persuade my hushand to ask you to come and spend some time with us. He talked of you so much that I al most felt I knew you, too. Ue pro mised that as soon as yoo came from abroad he would seud for you, aud like a dear old fellow that he is, he has kept his word. now long were you abrcad!" Brow began to feel uncomfortable, lie had never been abroad iu his life. He coughed once or twice and then replied:' 44 Keally, madam, your husband must bave been misinformed. I have not been out of ray village of Stillwater for a year." "Indeed!" ejaculated the lady, "and Mr. Judkins did not know of your return until recently ? Well that is too bad." Brown thought it was, but did not make any reply; and to avoid any reeurreuce to the subject, until he had explained matters, he ad dressed himself to the daughter, and so the meal ended. The trio then withdrew to the porch and occupied the rustic seats to enjoy the pleasant night. Brown began to reflect whether be did right in al lowing matters to go a3 far as they had He was convinced that he never had met Mr. Judkins. but what would his wife aud bis beauti ful daughter now say should be com mit himself, and then'on the other baud, what excuse other than the real state of the case, could he make? And what would Judkins Mo if he should return unexpectedly while he was there ? His cogitations were Dut an end to by Mrs. Jud kius, who excused herself, saying she "must go in and help the ser vant I ' —thus leaving our unhappy hero alone with the daughter. Now Miss Judkins was pretty as we be fore stated, and she also seemed to be aware of this fact herself (a com mon failing with pretty young wo men). She also exhibited strong coquettish tendeaofea, and as this class of people are supposed to gath er homely as we'l as comely mascu lines in their toils—even o Brown was not exempted. As soon as the mother had disappeared, the daugh ter laid her schemes, and so secure ly was the net woven that Brown bad to confess himself thorough!? entrapped before the close of the evening. Indeed, so completely in fatuated was he that had it not been for the restrain ing influence of the I I mother, who now returned, he would uudoubtebly have committed I himself. As it was, he contented himself by squeezing her lmnd till the owner of the injured member al most cried out with pain, and he bade her good night. la ids room he became more per plexed than ever. Conscience dicta ted he should not delay any longer, but seek lira. Judkins and tXDlain, throwing himself on her mercy; but a vision of loveliness in the person of Miranda Judkins rose up before bim, and appeared to be giggling at Ids ridiculous position, and in this state of mind be fell into a troubled sleep. lie arose next morning, not feeling much refreshed by sleep, and dressed himself and went down stairs. Mrs. Judkins inquired at the breakfast table if he had a head ache, and on answering iu the affir mative, Miranda was all attention. With her own hands site tied a wet bandage over his head, and then made him lie down on a couch in the parlor, while she took a seat by his side'and* fanned l)im. tie has since confessed that be don't think that be'ever had.a more delicious headache.in his .life, and would have-liked it to Inst a week under the circumstances. lie thought there would be no more fit ting time to continue his interrupt ed advance then the pwseut, and so, reaching forth bis band he toobJieis, and said, in as pathetic a voice as he could eommand: "I—l—don't mean that, Miran da/ 1 he continued, still retaining ber hand and raising himself on bin elbow: "I—l—don't you think it would be nice for me to take of Jyou and you of me ? I love you Miran da. I—it is short"—he had jump ed to his leet, and was in the act of sinking on his knees, when a hur ried step was heard, and Mrs. Jud kins entered with an open letter in her hand. She walked straight up to Brown and thrust the letter into his hand. He then read: MY DEAR WIFE:—I am sorry to i sappoint you and Mini, but' my friend Brown has not come home from abroad yet. I had heard that he had arrived as was at Stillwater, and I wrote— Brown read no more. The letter dropped to the floor and he sank back: on he lounge completely over come. "What is the meaning of this, sir V" demanded the lady in a stern tone. "Are you not Mr. Brown ?" "Yes. yes, ma'am, but—but—l ain't your Thomas Brown, 1 am afraid." Miranda uttered a scream and faiuted. But Brown instantly be came himself and stepped forward to her assistance, but Mrs. J. waved him back and administered restora tives herself. When the daughter had come to, the mother continued: "And why, let me ask sir, had you the audacity to come here tuid pass for ray husband's friend V" "The letter he wrote was lianded me, and as I was the only Thomas Brown 1 knew of I concluded that I must have known Jliram Judkins when I went to school. It is so long since then !" he groaned. The little lady turned contemptu ously away, and calling the servant instructed her to get Mr. Thomas Brown's valise from the room which Mr. Thomas Brown had occupied and show him the front door. "I intended to have explained matters to you this morning mad am," he fluttered as the servant left the room. "You can explain them to my husband, sir, if you have the impu dence to come when he is here," and the little lady, with a Arm step, walked to the door, took the valise from the hands of the servant who was just entering, and handed it to him, and politely bowing wished him a good day. Brown with an appealing look at Miranda, whom he discovered for the first time was laughing at him, resolutely picked up his lwfc and walked out of the house without another word*. ~ He took the next train for Still water and says be will never again be attempted to go on a wild goose chase. lie is still siugle, and lias avowed his determination to remain 60, as he entertains fears that should he enter wedlock Miranda Judkins might sue him for breach of promise.
