New York Weekly, v. XXV, no. 19, March 24, 1870 (Issue) |
| Date: |
March 24, 1870 |
| First Sentence: |
Some thirty years or more ago, there lived in an old tumble-down rookery on the Ohio River bank, somewhere between Walnut and Vline, or Race streets an eccentric individual past the prime of life, who from the fact, that he had no visible occupation or employment save that of catching the timber afloat on the river during a freshet- was universally known by the soibrquet [sic] of "Driftwood Johnson." |
| Last Sentence: |
When the whole matter was exposed, which was unavoidable from the nature of the case, various were the speculations indulged as to the course that would be pursued by the young gentleman, but with the feelings and instincts of a true man, utterly ignoring the abhorrent doctrine that "the sins of the parent shall be visited upon the children," he kept his plighted faith, married the girl, and from all accounts his bright pictures of happiness were fully realized as they certainly deserved to be. |
