The Changers Daughter.

| A young, man who was lucky enough to
clean up in Ophir, Consolidated Virginia
and other stocks, the snug little, sum OF
$50 900, with which he hastened home to
his native Buckeye State, writes to afriend
in this city to say that fortune still smiles
upon him. He has achieved handsome
young bride. and with her a farm of 300
acres, not two miles from his own old roof
tree. His bride is the only daughter of a
rich old Granger-an oily man of the sod,
worth bushels of money. As our young
friend went home swell heeled," and,
moreover, is as fine a lad as ever stepped in
shoe leather, there was, of course, no
cruel parent y to distract the course of
true love in this instance-eVerything was
lovely with the old man. Our child of
fortune sends a funny account of his inter-
view with the old gent when he came to
ask the hand of his daughter in marriage.
When the words were spoken, the affair
progressed as follows:
Farmer Hodge-Tak'r, my boy-tak'r.
She'll make you a good wife-but you
know that. You'll find that lower med
der1l cut three and half tons to the
acre year with year. The old orchard

one is in full bearing. The fences are all

DON'T TAMPER WITH CoUGH.-Perhaps
in the whole category of diseases to which hu
manity is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in in its early stage. A simple cough is
generally regarded as temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more; but tosthose
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-Co Consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the
riyuet leads to the river, yet is is an easy ene-
my to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.
