to
Greenville, South Carolina, ex
November lltb, 1871. 0,1
Professor Reynolds : mi
Dear Sir?Miss Elizabeth John- rei
jon informs me that you are pre- ar
paring a inemiorof her father, the
late Rev. VV. B. Johnson, and re n8
quests that I will communicate to
you any facta or reminiscences I "
may have of him : ^
Dr. Johnson had charge of tlie ^
Greenville Female Academy when U
I came to Greenville to read law mi
in 1824, and had been there two Tfc
nr three years. lie moved from cx
Greenville to Edgefield about the ^
year 1830. For five or six years
I 6aw Dr. Johnson every day or aI?
two, heard him preach every Sab Id
bath, and was frequently in his
company at his house and else- '
where. lie had a great many ar
young ladies boarding in his house,
and frequeutly had his young ci
friends there to spend the evening.
ds
Ilis oldest daughter, Miss Mary hi
Johnson, was a very remarkable c*
young lady, then just grown, and a th
great favorite with all who had the an
pleasure of her acquaintance. She ac
was highly educated, and her mind
had been well cultivated. She al- or
ways made the social gatherings at th
her father's pass off pleasantly.? ai
But her life was a short one. In 8ti
the bloom of youth, 6hc died end- te
denly front having a tooth extract- th
ed. Her death waa deeply mourn- }>'
ed by the community. None of th
his other children at thai timo were
grown. Dr. Johnson bad her like er
ne<v taken whilst a corjise by a F(
miniature painter who then je?
happened to be in the village. She th
was the pride of his heart, and ho at
was anxious to have some memo- N
rial of her loved features, for her
brothers and sisters to look upon
in after-life. th
The Female Academy bocaine a wi
most flourishing institution under th
his care and 6tiperintendance.? ial
Young ladies came from all the ai
Districts in the upper part of 1"
the State to receive liis instrnc- th
tion, and complete their w
education. lie was a fine scholar "
himself, and a most admirable ai
teacher, lie }K>sses6ed in an eini- P<
nent degroe the faculty of impart- q<
ing knowledge to his pupils. All to
who left his school were thorough- 1'
ly educated. lie was a very strict m
disciplinarian, and moat accurate ec
and exuet in all his teaching. His ac
pupils had the greatest reverence ftf
and respect for him. There was a
something in his calm, sedate dig- '?<
nity, which awed every one in his hi
school, and made them afraid of ar
Ins reproof. They could not neg- p?
lect their studies. th
For some years after Dr. John- ft'
son took charge of the Greenville cc
Female Acacfemy, there was ho in
church of any denomination in the
village. 1 he old Court Uouse was al
used overy Sabbath as a church, at
Dr. Johnson determined to make 8<J
an effort to build a church, And w
carried about the subscription list pi
himself. He succeeding in raising is I
funds to erect the old Baptist se
Church, which, however, was to be I
free for all ministers of tbo orthor- J<
dox faith. But although, Dr. John- F
son was successful in buildug a at
house for the worship of God, he ca
was never able to organize a I m
church in Greenville. Hia ser. I er
mons wore able anil Learned, but er
lie did not possess that tire and en- hi
thusiasra in his preaching, which tu
Btirs the heart, and moves the feel- w
ings of an audience. I have since bo
seen in Greenville, dozens baptized I C<
in ono day, whose conversion was re
under the preaching of greatly in- ?n
ferior ministers. Indeed religion
is more an affair of the heart than ?.
of the head. Dr. Johnsou^ manner
in the pulpit, was cold, precise,
and formal, as were his manners at P*
all times.. He was, however, '?
pleasant and soctable, aud talked
well. ii'-? Tl
I remember on one occasion, there 8t
was to be a ball at the, Mansion
House, and preaching in the old b,
Court House the same evening.-? tii
Tho buildings wero very near each
other, apd the young men appoint
ed a committee to wait on Dr. 110
Johnson, and make arrange moats ! d<
so that neither party should bo in- n
commoded by the clker. Dr. | I
>hneon received the young men
ditely, and ncceedod to their releet,
that the preaching should
me off an hour sooner, and the
.ncing be postponed till the relious
services were over. Dr.
thnson was very much opposed
all balls and dancing parties,
it he had good svnse enough to
tow that young people would in
ilge in those amusements, and
at he could not prevent it. Like
sensible man, therefore, he ac?
rimodatod hie action to the cirmstnncee
which surrounded liitn.
e was a Stern man, and very deled
in his character. But he
id great, good, practical senso,
id commanded the respect of all
lio knew him.
I know that when he determined
move to Edgefield, the citizens
pressed great regret, and felt,
itaf corinnolr I/\oo in "EV?. I
?vuo?j) ii 10 ivoa in illC rc*?
ale Academy. There was bo much
grot expressed at his departe,
that he said if he had known
eooner, he would not have left
. In the course of timehocaino
ick to Greenville to end his days,
hilst in charge of the Female
cademy, he was selected to do*
rer a Fourth of J uly oration.?
e accepted the position, and
ade us a most admirablo address,
lis was jnst before our political
citcment in 1828. Ilis oration
it the impression on my mind,
at he was national in his jMilitics,
id I confidently expected to see
m in the Union ranks, but in
dgefield, ho became a warm nul '
ler under the lead of Calhoun
id McDuftio.
At the commencement of our
vil war, he requested mo one
ly to witness his will, and whilst
e paper was being executed, he
pressed himself gratified to know
at I had come over to the State,
id was with him in feeling and
tion. I said to him, that I had

oclaiiued. But as a citizen ot

ifend her and the form of gov nment
she saw proper to adopt,
seling a little sore on this sub'
ct, I said to the old gentleman,
at I had been greatly surprised
the conduct of the clergy,
orth and South, in stirring up
ctioual hatred and enmity which
id led to war and revolution, and
at 6uch conduct was inconsistent
ith the fundamental principles of
eir religion. lie seemed aston*
aed at my reflection on his cloth,
id dissented. I quoted tho exession
of Christ, 4' For all they
at take the sword shall perish
ith the sword." lie replied,
Washington took up the sword,
id neither did lie nor his cauec
jrish by tho sword." I said
liekly, 44 Dr. you mean by this
falsify what Christ has said."

imetbing like the old Soceders,
ho wished their ministers to
each all day, and thought itfoolb
to come to church to hear a

A Singular Sto'y in Connection
with the Lincoln Assassination p
A singular story is told in con- l'
noctiou with the Lincoln assossination,
by Mr. William Withers, r
Sr., which lias never been publish- d
ed. Mr. Withers has a son nam- v
ed William, who was the leader 81
oi the orchestra at Lina Edwin's R
l'hea're last winter. Both father P
and son were in Ford's Theatre at c
the time when Booth shot Lincoln. 8
The elder Withers was one of the j'
orchestra, and pfayed the trombone. 11
Th a I- ? ? - 't
m...v jvtiiigci uuu uucu Hcaieu in vl
the parquet, but, just previous to ^
the time when the fatal shot was l'
fired, he left his seat and proceed- v
ed to the back part of the6tage for "
the purpose of speaking to some 0
one there on a privato matter. ''
The two Withers were well ac "
qnaintcd with Booth, and he with d
ttiem, the elder having played a l1
game of billiards with Booth, 1
on the Saturday previous, the fornier
losing the game, but Booth, w
who would not permit him to pay ?
for it. exhibited a think mil nf In'lla
of largo denominations, and, in a
boasting way, remarked tbat lie u
bad struck oil. After Booth had b
fired, and ho started to retreat e
through tlie wings to the back en- 8
trance, ho was met in the passage c
by young Withers, who did not ji
know what had taken place.? ?
Withers was about to speak to n
him, but Booth made a lunge at j,
him with a knife ho had in his (i
had. Withers dodged the blow, t
but it nevertheless struck him in y
the shoulder in an angular direc f
tion, and glanced o ft', cutting ^
through vest, coat and shirt, and ]
producing a slight wound of the ji
skiu. William Withers, Jr., stat- 8
od theso facts to Mayor Wallack c
previous to his examination, who n
advised him not to mention the n
circumstance of receiving the 6tab, t
and ho did not do so. The elder u
Mr. Withers cannot imagine for 8
what purpose that advice wasgiv t
en.?New York Erx.
Singular Tbagkdy.?A eingu1
a r tragedy is reported from g
Switzerland. Last spring the wife
of a peasant died at Orisons. A
few hours before her death she |
took a pill which had been pre .
scribed by the medical man who J
was attending her. After her
death, the husband, who was passionately
attached to his wife, got S
the fixed idea that the pill contnin
ed poison, and that it was owing to }
her having taken it that his wife r
died,and with continually brooding 1
over this though he became quite J!
melancholy, and a few days ago (
took his two children, aged res- ?
pectively 8 and 12 yoars, and
beat out their brains with a ham '
mer, alter which he cut his own
throat. In a letter, which was ^
found on a table in his bed room, ^
he stated that as he was unable to
live without his wife, he had taken .
the shortest means to join her,
with their children, in the other 11
world.

..... t
It is narrated of the late iCev. r
Dr- Iiascombe that when ho was ?
in Congross and had delivered r
himself of an eloquent discourse, (
Mr. Clay asked him whore he got r
a certain, word, telling hiin it was t
not in Webster nor any other lex- t
icography. With the dignity of a t
Roman Senator, the Doctor re(died
: " I inauc i t myself. I
iavo a9 g?x>d a right to coin
words as Webster or any body c
else." |
Tub noblest thing on oarth is r
the man who rises to the dignity t
of self mystery. The tnan who c
can refuse indulgence to a clamor- r
ing desire ; can hold the craving 1
appetite nngratifiod, and say to n
the rising passion, " Peace, be 1
still," is a hero above Alexander s
or llercules. t
Idle Daughters.? It is a -most J
aiulol spectacle in families where
bo mother is the drudge, to see "
lie daughters elegantly dressed, *
eclining at their ease, with their &
rawing, their music, their fancy f(
rork and reading, beguiling them- v
elves of honrs, days and weeks, ti
nd never dreaming of their re?? u
onsibilitios ; but as a necessary s
onsequence of neglect of duty,
rowing weary ot their useless F
fe, laying hold of every newly 0
ivented stimulant to amuse their ^
looping energies, and blaming n
tte when they dare not blame ti
lieir God for having placed them
rbere they are. These individu- ti
Is will often tell yon, with an air "
f compassion?for who can be *
ieve it real ??that poor, dear
iinnima is working herself to ^
eath. Yet no sooner do you pro- l(
tose that they should assist, than ^
licy declare that she is quite in t]
er element?in short, that she t
rould never be happy if she had ti
nly half as much to do. %
