A SKETCH ABOV'F LOVE AND OOLD-DU8T. ' Unpin Bill" Griffin, (or Uncle Bill, *1 as lie- was commonly called, with an irreverent-1 disregard of his patfonim- i' ic,>did not retire from the ship clian- j, (IIaI'U ?*:I 1 WVA<I<CD<I uiuu no was worth ! something more than a plum. Not 1 being blessed with a son to continue his name and inherit his fortune, he lavished all his tenderness and care I upon his daughter. Sweet Molly 1 Griffin, thou wort as like to thy papa | as^a canary bird is like a bull dog. j His face was nshnrrl oo .. iv---* . ?o <1 X^vkcii inn- . ci^afcker, thine tts soft as a roso loaf, i He was thcveriest miser in all cren tion; thou didst spend Ihv pocket , money as liberally as a Prince of , \yalcH. In his household manage- \ n\ent, Uncle Bill was a consummate skinflint; tradition said that he used | to soak the back logs in the cistern,1 and water the lamp oil, and he was ' aided and abetted in all his niggard- ( ly domestic schemes by a vinegar . laced Old hoUSe-kcCDer. whrt ivne l!"> sworn enemy of all good cheer, and fctinted from a pure love of meannt 3s. j Yet pretty Mary had no reason to ! complain of hrr father's penurious- 1 ness, as far concerned her. lie sent her to the best schools, and gave her a carte blanche on the most expensive milliners, and when she walked Vyashington street on a sunny day, . there was no more .^aily bedecked , damsels to be seen from CornhiU to i Essex street. Of course, several nice young men ... Ttuiiisneu learner unci white k:ds | fell over head and ears in loye with her, and there was a large number of i whiskers collected outside of the j njeetingshs attended on Sunday than darkened the doorsteps of any metro I politan church. "Yet cold was the maid; and though legions a > j ' vanced, All skilled in Oridian art, Though tlicv languished and ogled, protected i an 1 danced. Like ibnrlowa they came and like shadows they glanced - From the pure, polished ice of the heart." Besides,Uncle Bill was a formidrble guardian to his attractive daughter. Did he not fire a charge of rock salt into the inexpressible* of Torn Bilk ins. u? hnn lm 1 * , ^ iiv i/aiuc 151 Icill 111J5" | with a cracked guitar? Didn't he threaten to kick Towle for leaving a valentine at his door? '-Wasn't he gaipable of unheard of atcociiieaZV? > The suitors of pretty Mary were all frightened o/T the course l>y her-ogre , ofa ftiiher, except a sturdy yh\:i)<r fellow who rejoiced in the name of Sampson Bitttes, and who was addic ted to book-keeping in wholesale gro- j eery store on Commercial street. The oid gentleman renlly liked Bitties; he was so staid, so quiet, and so full of information. He was a regular price current, and no man on 'change was better acquainted with i mo price ot stocks. Whv Mary Kked him, it is more difficult to conjecture, for he was very deficient in j the small talk that young lathes are , fond of; was averse to mustaclns; dis liked the opera*, thought the >allet immoral: and considered waltzing in* j delicate. Perhaps his gc d looks compensated for other d< f.ciencies, or perhaps a horror bf V'n/? in a $tate of single-blessedness ndueed lipr tn 4 I- ? --- vv?i?ii^iiuiii:C IHt? Olll yt U!)g man Uncle Bill was ever known to tolerate. One evening, Bittles screwed up liis courage to tlir task of addressing the old man on the subject nearest to 'liis heart. 'Mr- Griffin,' saul he, lI have had something here for a long time,1 and he made up a horrible face, and placed his hand somewhere near his "heart. 'Dispepsia?' said the old man. 'I our daughter!' gasped the young man. v 'Well, what about her?' asked Untcle Bill, snappishly. Tm in love with her,' said the unLappy clerk. 'Humbug!' said Uncle Bill. '"Fact!" rejoined Bittles. J "What's vour income?" inquired * Griffin., ' r-' j "Eignt hundred," answered the i 'sftppliant. | "it won't do, my boy,said Grif- j fin, shaking his grim locks. "No mnn An ci onl' -I. _ll vjn u oaim i Mirin marry my dmifflifpr. Why, she's tho fincsl girl i in jtfoslon; and it takes capital to , marry a fine girl. WJien yon have j thirty thousand dollars to bring with you, you may come arid talk ioine.M Bittles disappeared. Six months * ?after that, Miss Mary Griffin received a letter with an endorsement of , Uncle Sam, acknowledging the re- j . ceipt of forty cents, it ran thus: San Francisco, 1849. i Dtfarest Mary: Knclosed you will fl Fycrmicn ol' California gold, ^ which please hand your father and !

' t X \ * Mary, as in duty bo>ind, handed Ihe mbtle to her fathor, who was overjoyed. Some weeks elapsed, and the return 6f the steamer in New York was telegraphed. Griffin was on the :jui vive to see his future son-in-law. un the day ot liis expected arrival, lie mot aCalift'rnian wlio came home in the same ship. "Where's Bittles?" he inquired. "Oh, oh! you'll see him before a ?rea' while,"' replied the Californian. "Has be been luoky^ "Yes, fifty thousand at the lowest figure. B ?l he's going to try a game oyer yon. He means to tell you that lie has been robbed of all hi* gold on bis way home, to see if yon have an)' generosity and disinterestedness, and see whether you d give your daughter to him, gold or no goVl!" "Sly boy!" chuckled old Griffin.? "I'm much obliged to you for that hint. I'll act accordingly. Good morning." Now it happened that the Californian was a friend of Bittles, and that the slory of his robbery was absolutely true, he having been robbed of every ounce of bis hard earned gold dust on his way home. So it may be supposed iie caiied on Griffin with a very lugubrious and wo-beffone air. "My dear boy," said Uncle Bill, 'I'm delighted (o see you, and plea ed to hear of your luck. I welcome you as my son-in-law. But what the deuce is the matter with yon "Aias, sir!11 said Hit ties, 4,I made fifty thousand dollars at the mines?11 | "Very hard luck!'1 interrupted the old gentleman, chuckling. "But on my way home 1 was robbed of every ounce; and now how can 1 claim your daughter's hand ?" ; "Sampson Bittles, said Uncle Bill, very cunningly, "if you haven't got fifty thousand dollars, you deserve to have it ; you've worked hard enough ! to get it. You shall have my daugn- j tor, and the marriage shall he cele-1 united to-morrow night. Iti anticipation of your return, I have had ; yon published. And while you are | talking with Mary* 1 11 drawn check : lor $f)0,000. so that you may go into partnership with a sufficient capi al." "But, sir. I'm a beggar.-" "So much the better. You'll work harder to increase your fortune. "My dear sir, how can I thank you?" "By making my dnughier a pood husband. There; go, go, and tell jiuary the news:" Rjttlesdid toll her the news, and they were married. He went into business on the*fifty thousand fur- j nished him by his father-in-law, ai\! was so prosperous that Uncle Bill was'more convinced than ever that the slory was a regular Munchausen; , once or twice he tried to repeat it, j but ihe old gentleman \lways cut it j short with? "1 know all about it. Had it put in the papers too. eh? Oh. it was a J i t ?a n i i? iui i imv <111(111 : ii'jsi your an i roor fellow ! Weil, I made it up to you, and now i won't hoar another word about it." When Uncle Bill departed this life, his immense property was found to be equally divided between bis daughter and Son-in-law; the testator bequeathed to the latter his chare to compensate him for the loss he sustained on his infllin fir\r?
