had been widover for many years, and
became weary of that mode of living. he
accordingly determined to marry again.
The dissemination once formed, the next
thing was to find the woman necessary,
which in this country is not at all diff
cult. Fortunately for him, a widow lady
resided near him, who had daughter
possessing all the requirements. She had
beautiful girl Of twenty years, accom-
plished and sprightly-just the one be
wanted. To be sure, she was rather young,
but Mr. - was young looking also.
Sometimes his mind would wander to the
mother, who vas quite as handsome as
the daughter and almost as young in ap-
psarance, but be had made up his mind
to marry the daughter, and he set about
it with a will, He did not mention bis
determination to his son, fearing the idss
Of marrying one SO much younger than. +
himself might expose him TO his ridi-
cule.
In the meantime his son had become
desperately euamored of the widow, and
had likewise determined upon marrying
her. he did not communicate the fact
to his father for the same reason that
actuated the old gentleman, for fear of
exc ting ridi,u,e BY marrying a woman
50 much older than himself They both
commenced calling at the house Of the
widow, and frequently met each other
there. This circumstance annoyed them
both immensely. The old gentleman
thought, very naturally, that the young
man was there for the young lady, and
the young gentleman as naturally sup
posed that the old man was there for the
widow.
As the matter progressed, the meeting
of the father aud son at that place beeams
frequent, and the more often it occurred,
the moe intolsrable it became. Finally
Mr. - determined to speak to his son
on the subject
Charles, said he, 1 have determin-
ed, after much consideration, to marry,
and thought it but right and proper to u.
make you acquainted With the detsrmin-
alton.
VERY good replied Charles, I con
slider it very proper that you should do
SO. And, speaking of marrying, have
concluded to marry myself
4 approve Of the idea, returned the
old gentleman; you are Of suitable age
to settle down. May l ask the name Of
your intsnded2'
Mrs. -, exclaimed Charles, bra
cling up and assuming defiant look.
'Whewp whistled the old gentlemen,
fine woman, Charles, bat ISM she lit
tie too advanced in ysarsH
Il think not, said Charles but who
have you decided upon? "a
why, Charles, tits very curious cir
cumstance, but 1 have determined to mar
ry her daughter.
'Danghter2 exclaimed Charles; why
you are at least twice as old as she is.
don't object
The matter was thus happily settled,
and in the course of q few weeks it was
satisfactorily arranged with the widow
and daughter, and the parties we're mar
ried. .-ass
Very soon after the marriage vas con.
summated, they all discovered that they
had made a grand mistake The son
found that the widow was altogether too
mOthsrly for the wife Of young man OF
twenty three, and the old gentleman
found that q young lady Of twenty Was
too volatile for sOber-minded man Of
fifty. Disagrsemsnts followed, then ne,
glect, and finally the thousand little quar-
rels and snubbings, and chickering's, sim
mering down into a grand fight, which
was kept up with slight variations for
three mounths .....
Finally they agreed permanently to
disagree, and availing themselves Of ths
ease with which divorces are obtained in
Indiana, the whole four removed to that
State, where in due time the divorces
we're obtained. -
The four cane homs as they vent, to-.
gsther, the son taking the daughter uu-
der his special charge, aud the father do
ing the agreeable to the widow. Long
before they had arrived at Buoyrus, they
had arranged matters oman entirely dit-
erent basis-ths father and the widow
made up a match, and the son and daugb-
ter ditto. The marrying was performed
Immediately on their arrival st Buoyrus.
Up to date they all appeared we'll satis.
fed with each other, and it is to be hoped
that they will long continue so.
