I am a widow. My name is Mrs. Thurston, 
and I keep a boarding house in Buffalo, and I 
was not always under the necessiiy of feeding 
others to feed rnyself. 1 used to be-; but I 
am not writing for the purpose of telling iny 
own story, I will let that pass, and proceed 
immediately to the work I have set before me. 
I am not certain that I utn outing for the best in 
publishing these few pages; but having been 
advised so to do by those who have always 
proved themselves good friends and counsellors 
to me, and finding Lutk’h “Journal” full of 
interest to myself, I have, at last, just on the eve 
of my departure for Europe, concluded to make 
its contents public. 
A few years ugo, as I was entering my gate at 
dusk of a winter’s day, I found at its Hide a huge, 
flexible-covered book, half filled with writing in 
a flowing, girlish hand. The book must have lain 
there through the greater part of the day; for it 
was partially covered with fresh snow which had 
fallen early in the morning. In vain I sought 
for some mark whereby it might be identified. 
There were only initials and Christian names to 
be Aion anywhere within it on such superficial 
examination as 1 felt authorized to make, and on 
the outside was stamped only “Journal, 1840.” 
In vain I Hcanned the fly-leaves usually covered 
in such books by the owner’s name; there was 
nothing there save a full-length picture iu water- 
color of a girl of great beauty, rather of the daz¬ 
zling style than otherwise, and beneath was 
written “T,ute, yEt 16.” Opposite was a head, 
taken in the same manner, of a proud, resolute¬ 
looking girl, and in the same writing, beneath, 
“Nrttik, zEt 18.” I did not remember having 
seen either of the faces before; a fact which 
(o with it After all, I believe I can’t take it 
with me conveniently now. My trunks are all 
packed; would you mind?” 
I hesitated a little; I wus somewhat hurt, both 
by her talk of re-payment and, also, by her sup¬ 
posing me to have so much curiosity in regard to 
her affairs. 
“ If you do mind, for Heaven’s sake, say so,” 
she begged. “ Do lie frank with me in such a 
little thing, at least No one is now; no one is 
true to me. It. has been all deceit — deceit” 
Her voice sharpened into a sort of wail, and 
the great eyes stared mournfully into the distance. 
“Oh lie frank, he true with me,” she begged, 
again seizing iny arm as she spoke. 
I was, of course, totally unprepared for any 
such exhibition of feeling; (indeed, her whole 
conduct throughout the interview seemed more 
befitting one out of her mind than a sane person.) 
and 1 hastened to relieve her evident distress by 
assuring her that I should be very glad to take 
charge of the book for the time being, if it would 
oblige her In the least 
“You will, thou?” she asked once more. 
1 promised, and as she started for the door, I 
ventured to inquire if she were alone, and to beg 
her to remain through the night with me; for 1 
was strangely interested in the poor, young 
thing. But. she declared, the least bit haughtily, 
that she hail protection, and refusing steadily, 
bade me good evening iu a quick, sharp voice. 1 
heard the gate click, a carnage drive off, and 
poor LUTB was gone. 
A few weeks after this, in making a morning 
call upon a friend, I spied a Rochester paper upon 
the tabic, and confronting my eyes, among the 
list of deaths, were these few lines: 
In Chicago, of brain fever, on the morning of the 2d
