ROMANTIC. The Times Demo
crdt of a recent date tells the fol
lowing tale -
In the year 1s43 Mr.. W. b.
Granger, of Louisville, KY, wrote
a letter to DR.. Samuel Warren, the
author Of Ten Thousand a Year"
expressing the qualification and
benefit he had derived from the
perusaI of the book in which the
successful struggle Of Charles and
Kate Aubrey against misfortune
were SO strongly and wildly por'
trayed, and stating that at the
time he read it, lie himself was de-
pressed by calamity. The letter
added that as a token Of apprecia'
ton, Mr.. Granger had called his
baby daughter Kate Aubrey. Re
Gently, this letter, which DR.. War
rem told a friend had given hin
greater pleasure than any he had
ever received about his work, was
contributed to the London News
by the Rev. S. l.. Warren, son o.
the novelist. Mr.. Granger anC
his daughter, now Mrs. DR.. DC
terlony, are still residing in Louis
vile.
