LOVE AND JEWELRY.
Mr. ]. V. 5. Granger resides in
Burlington, Vermont. Mr.. Granger
is gentleman Of preposessIng APP
pearance, sports jet black imperial
and travels slightly on hts shape.
Mr. Granger has very excellent
opinion of himself, and runs away
with the idea that no lady can look
at him without experiencing a slight
palpilatlon under her chemiselle. In
July last, Mr. Granger visited Rock
away, put up at the Pavilion, aud
INDUCED in sea bathing and clans
for about ten days. On his way
home he stopped in this city to spend
a week. He put up at the Delevan
House. One afternoon, while prom
enadlng up North Pearl Street he saw
very laclnating young lady sitting
10y parlor window, belonging to a
very fine three story BRICK dwelling,
not mile from Sleuben street. The
young lady smiled. Granger lifted
his hat, dropping his head about an
inch, inch and half or two inches.
Having dcne this, he passed on, and
in due course OF time found himself
at his hotel. II ever Granger felt
well towards all the world, and the
rest of mankind, ii was that afternoon.
He was so bouyant that if anybody
had cut his suspenders we have no
doubt that he would have gone up
like balloon.
The next day Mr. Granger repeat
ed his stroll. He again passed the
Pearl street mansion aud again fouad
that iaclnaling young badly sitting at
The paror window. The third time
he grew more courageous. He not
only lifted his hat aud smiled but he
ascended the stoop ard twitched the
bell-pull. The young lady flew to
the door, opened the same, dropped a
courtesy on the mating and invited
MIR. Granger to walk into the parlor.
Mr.. Granger did 50, and, for II few
minutes, felt slightly embarrassed.
He overcome this, however, in a little
while and entered upon a chat that
satisfied him that he had made ten
strlke-etIecied the conquest of an
heiress. On leaving, Mr. Granger
and the young lady exchanged cards
ii cermony that enabled Mr.. Gran
ger TO say that The best looking girl
ia all Albany was Miss Douglass of
North Pearl street.
They parted in the hall with a
squeeze Of the hand that made Mr..
Granger look like boiled lobster tor
an hour. after MIR. Granger is
gentleman OF sangulne temperament,
hence the ease with which his face
takes TO veTmillion. Mr. Granger
left for home the next morning, and
took along bosom so filled with sun
shine, that there should not be hard
winter in Vermont for the next five
years On arriving at Burlington,
Mr.. Granger opened a corespon-
dence with Miss Douglas that conln-
ed ull Tuesday last, when MI. G.
came to Albany to see Miss Douglass,
in person, He went to the Pearl
street mansion, pulled the bell, and
was answered by a Bddy Of late i'm
ponalion. With Biddy the following
conversation took place

you you're mistaken. The young
lady you met here in July last was a
forward mlnx that Mlssis lefl 10 take
care of the house while the family
went to Niagara. She was as mod
est gIr as ever was, I'LL a black
guard in Vermont made fule of her
You said blackguard in YER
mont, think.
! did, and repeat it. If he had
not been blackguard he would not
have sent her a goold watch, and an
undacent letIher with little boys fly
ing all round the edges with more
bow arrows than brecches---bad luck
10 him.
Well never mind about all that,
Cau you tell me where can find the
person referred TO ?
No, | can't, and # ! could |

Biddy having said this, slammed
the door and retired TO the kitchen.

Pearl street mansion, struck Mr..
Granger all Of heap The idea
