A SKETCH OF REAL LIFR. Richard Johnstone, my old school fel- low and friend, was to the profes- Tie showed early indi- cations of talent, and on leaving ‘school | desire articled to a coun- try surgeon and general practitioner. Shortly after receiving his diploma, he married and settled in a small town within 2 few miles of a fashionable wa- tering place. Being a young man of geod address, exceedingly well read, and possessing withal a thorough knowledge of his profession, united to a capacity for the hardest work, he made his way rapidly, and speedily became a popular favorite. Mis success in the treatment of some critical cases extended his repu- tation to the neighboring town, and he was frequently sent for by the fashiona- ble visitants who resided thero during the season of suiamer. There his abili- ties recommended him to the notice of a circle who were in a condition to reyu- nerate them well ; and moved by the en- couragement of his patrons, and by the claims of a young family now raising around him, he took a house in the town, and removed thither in the eighth year of his practice. At C—— he continued to flourish. [is gentlemanly manners and conversational powers made him welcome in ail compa- nies; his reputation increased, and in a few years he had monopolized nearly all the genteel practice of the district. ~ For fifteen years more he went on prospering, earning and spending upon his family, for whose education he spared no ex- pense, an income exceeding considerably a thousand a year. He never relin- qnished his old practice in the adjacent village, but rode out regularly to visit the bed-ridden poor, to whom it was his custom to afford both advice and medi- cines gratuitously. It was for their ben- efit chiefly, and that of the poor of the town, that he had established in a wing of his house a small dispensary, where a young man was always in attendance ; to make up prescriptions and to admin- j ister to trifling cases or accidents. One day, when Dr. Johnstone had just finished his morning levee, and was pre- paring to go forth ou his daily round, his ‘assistant brought him a prescription, ‘which, being old and creased, he could ‘not well decipher. My old friend, when . he saw it, determined, fur some reason , or other, to compound the inedicine him- self. He stepped into the dispensary, Where stood a young girl in a morning , dress, and requesting ber to be seated, j began collecting the necessary ingre- ;dients. As he stooped to reach a vessel, he looked accidentally into a small mirror jthat lay on a shelf, and distinctly saw | the girl take from a side-table a gilt phial ,of costly perfume, and then plaee it in ther pocket. He at once led her into the house, charged her with the theft, and had her searched by his wife and daugh- iters. The delinquent did not deny the crime, but refused to reveal her name, and becaime excited and furious when not jallowed todepart. Poor Johnstone, who j never dreamed of the consequences, sent jfor an officer, and bad her conveyed to {prison. ‘That act was the ruin of ‘him. The girl, who was a young lady, the daughter of Col. J——, who, and whose family, led the fashions of the place The young lady was biiled out, owing to his influence, for a trifling sum ; and the bail was forfeited under the pretence that she was too sensitive to appear in answer to such an odious charge. The town was full of military sparks, who united with the Colonel in spreading most infa- mous reports about Johnstone—reports which placed him in the most abomina- ble light, and blasted his character for- ever. In less than ‘a month, every house in the town was shut against him. Even the poor, to whom he had been a benc- factor for twenty years, hocted him as he walked the streets. His eldest son, whom, after making interest in his be- half for years, he had at length placed advantageously in the town bank, was abruptly discharged ; his daughters were shamefully expelled from the school where they received their education; and his whole family consigned to gen- eral ignominy and execration. Johnstone lost his practice almost at one swoop, and as a consequence he lost his credit. He had saved but littic, al- most nothing; and was obliged to seil off his property and retire from the town. The breaking up of his bousehold, the loss of his character, the distress of his family—all together had such an effect upon his spirits, and indeed upon his health and faculties, too, that he was never the same man afterwards. He came to London, and endeavored to open a connection in a middle-class district in Paddington; but the vile reports which had ruined him at ©. followed him here, and defeated all his exertions. He fell rapidly into poverty; his charmin daughters declined into governesses a ladies’ maids; his two boys went off to Australia; his wife died broken hearted; and he himself doomed to a solitary gar- ret, and with nothing to subsist on oat the hard-carned wages of his girls, fell gradually into premature decay. To me, the sight of him, for the last few years of his life, was a most melancholy ‘specta- cle. Though a mere wreck of a man, he made heroic efforts to retain the bearing and the garb of a gentleman. About two years ago, he was in the habit of strolling into my shop every Thursday evening, about closing time, and there he would sit and talk about the old days when we were schoolboys together. Concerning the great misfor- tune of his life, after he had once told it, I could never get bim to speak again—it shook him too much to do so, and made him ill. He drop; his visits in the spring of 53, and I never saw him after- wards. He died, as I learned subse- quently, and in absolute want, but in penury, which his youngest child, who THE WEEKLY STAR.

SERENADING A YOUNG LADY. In my young days, says the editor of an exchange paper, I was extravagantly fond of attending parties, and was some- what celebrated for playing the flute ; hence, it was generally expected, when an invitation was extended, that my flute would accompany me. I visited a splendid party one evening, and was called upon to favor the com- pany with a tune on the flute. I, of course, immediately complied with the request. The company appeared to be delighted, but more particularly so, was a young lady, who raised her hands, and exclaimed that it was beautiful, &c. I, of course, was highly flattered, and im- mediately formed a ‘resolution to sere- nade the young lady on the following night. Previous to leaving the party, [ made inquiry respecting her residence. I started the next night, in company with several young friends, and arrived at the lady’s residence, but made a most glo- rious mistake be getting under the win- dow of an old Quaker. “Now, boys,” said I, “behold the sentimentality of this young lady the ee strike up the Last Rose of I struck up, but the window remained closed. The boys sriled. “Oh!” said I, “that’s nothing; it would not be in good taste to open the window on the first air.” I next struck up on “Old Robin Gray.’ Still the window remained closed. — boys snickered, and I ‘elt somewhat at. “Once more, boys,” said I, ‘and she must come.” I strack up again—« Ny love is like the red, red rose.” Still there was no demonstration. r “Boys,” said I, “she’s a humbug. Let us sing ‘Home, sweet home,’ and if that don’t bring her, we will give her up.” We struck up, and 2s we finished the last line the window was raised. I Sd the ticket, boys,” said I, “I kneW we could fetch her.” But imstead of the beautiful young lady, it turned out to be the old Quaker, in his night-cap, and dressing-gown. “ Friend,” said he, «« thee was singing of thy sweet home—and if I recollect right, thee said there was no place like home ;—why don’t thee go to thy home? Thee is not wanted here —thee, nor any of thy party. Farewell !” We and our hats went home! _A Tast or AGz.—Why is it that man- kind, and more particularly womankind, desire to conceal their ages? It is a problem which has never yet been solved. Speaking of this a few evenings since, a gentleman relat-d in course of cunversa- tion the following anecdote: Major Ben Russell and Benjamin Bus- sey, sq., met in a barber's shop recent- ly. “Ah! how do you do, old Ben Russel!” said Mr. Bussey. _, ‘Come, now,” replied Major Ben, “I like that, especially from you, who are about my own age,” which wasa truth. “Upoa my word,” replied Mr. Bussey, “you're my senior by ten ycars.” “Ob, no,” replicd Russeli, who after a moment’s thought, as if seeking for a test, asiced, “What is the first thing you recollect?” oe first thing : recollect,” replied «dr. Bussey, “was hearin; le talk about old Ben Russel.” _ Tux Cty Sunpay Law.—Mr. Drake, in his interesting number of “The His- tory and Antiquities of Boston,” men- tions that the Sunday law of 1716 hay- ing proved insufficient to cause a proper obsevance of Sunday, additional acts were passed in 1727. Under thestatutes transgressors were to be fined, which, if they would not or could not pay imme- diately, they were to be put into jail, “or setin the Cage or Stocks.” People were forbid keeping open shops ‘‘the evening preceding the Lord’s Day or the evening following;” swimming “in the water, unnecessary walking or riding in the streets, laves or highways, or com- mon fields of the Town of Boston,” &c., were in a like mauner prohibited, under stipulated penalties. Well may Mr. Drak2, in a foot note, ask, “Was this law ever literally exccuted.’ PracricaL Joxe or an Inpiay.—A trader in Michigan being annoyed by a half drunken Indian, threatened to burn his bottle the next time he brought it with him. A few days afterwards, the Indian appeared with his pint flask, which the trader instantly seized and thrust into the stove, the Indian making a hasty retreat. A loud explosion ful- lowed, the stove, the windows, and the trader all flying in different directions. The Indian quietly looking on, observed, “next time white man burn whisky bot- tle, he better see that Dupont’s brand isa't on it.” Smart boy !
