Harrington, 10 letter Published ia
he lTymp0th Memorial, relates Tie
following. d OH cmigfahi family,
whom tie met III Gle steamboat from
Dudilot9 Uctroiii
"lH lhe afternoon, ! happened e.
plant my chair right opposite 20 tic
effects Of d family that were going
about ono hundred and thirty mules
into the interior Of Michigan. The
family consisted Of the cmigrant and
his wife, both under The agc Of thirty,
and a son and daughter. They are
part Of a colony that came out from
Vermont, year ago, consisting of
some thirty or forty famiies, known
to each other in "iadcr land, and Sc
lected from the most orderly and reli-
ginus. This man, like many OF the
rest, went out last year, alone, and
made preparations for returning with
his family. They purchased together
one quarter Of a township--each man
having a village house lot of ten acres,
and 4 farm Of one hundred and sixty
acres, contiguous TO it. Like the
Purltans, they made arrangements,
from the beginning, TO take their
household gods and their minister
along with them; though | suspect
Mr., Robinson would never have done
so much at farming rs their minister
is likely to do; for, like the rest of the
emIgrantS, he has purchased, with his
own money, the same quantity Of
land Zone Hundred and seventy acres)
that the rest did. Besides this, the
gave him the use Of eighty acres of
land, which is attached to their intend
ed parsonage. 1t seems that this is
all the certain provision they have yet
pledged themselves to make for his
support. Noticing a short rifle among
his baggage, asked him what game
he found at Vermontyille. lie in
formed me, in reply, that there Wee
bears and deer, besides wolvos,) wild
turkeys and squirrels. lie says, the
climate there is healthy, the soil cX-
cellent, though now heavily timbered;
that the water i, pure and good, the
streams swift, aa@,:44 tl:ore are two or
three mill sites in the place"
SAID the Spanish lover 10 his mis-
trcss, "Do you love me?' Eyes"
"What do you love me for--because
| am handsome" ooh, yes "Be-
cause | have pretty mustaches?'
"Yes." because | sing wcll!"
"Yes." "Because | dance wellY"
Eyes" "Because plly on the gui-
tar wclI9" eyes" "Well, what
else do you love me for?n "Oh, !
love you for all your good qualities"
"But if you do not love me for myself,
YOU can never be mine." And there
upon it becomes u question, whether
the Spanish lover was more Il block
head or puppy. If the lady did not
cut him as dead as drowned frog,
she was goose for her pains.
