The Granger's Daughter.

IrIOu tio .SlIla lily 6utcIp1Asc.I
A young man who was lucky enough to
and other stocks, the snug little sum OF
$3.50, 900, with which he FASTENED home to
his native Buckeye State, writes to a friend
in this city to say that fortune still smiles
upon him. He has achieved a 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 "well heeled,' and, more
over, is as fine lad as ever stepped in shoe
leather, there was, of course, no .'cruel
parent to distract the course Of true love
in this Misunderstanding was lovely
with the old man. Our child of fortune
sends funny account Of his interview 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-Take'f, my boy-take'r.
She'll make you good wife-but you know
that. You'll find tina. lower medder'll cut
three and halt tons 10 the acre year with
year. The old orchard don't bear as it used
to do, but the new one is in full bearing.
The fences are all in good
Young Washoe-I shall never cease to
love and cherish your daugh-
Farmer Hodge-Fences all in splendid
order all around the farm, and believe
there is not more convenient barn in the
Young Washoe-And believe she loves
me. God bless her! as she loves her
Farmer Hodge-The ten COWS. the eight
calves. and the
Young Washoe-1f she is rot made che
happiest wife in all the State Of
