Mr. Wharton is very happy in his
grandson
, and
made happier by the
intelligence
just received from
Europe of Frank's
engagement
to a
brilliant
young
New York lady whom he met in his travels. He
bids fair, though
advanced
in age, to live some years
yet, to
witness
the happiness of his dear
grandson
,
once a
humble
cash-boy.
