A Southern planter named P, pret-
ty we'll to do in the world now, was some
twenty years ago poor boy from the
Yankee land on the eastern shore of Ma
ryland One Of the most marked traits
Of his character was an inordinate love of
money. In the course Of time P was
of age, and thought it was about time TO
get married He went to neigbboring
village and was introduced to the daugh-
ter of Judge B.
Fine gall said the embryo specnlator
to his friends, who were gaming him on
entrance among the elite.
"Very.' How much might Judge B
be worIh?'
About ten thousand dollars" was the
reply" -,
And how many children has he got ?"
continued P.
"Only three
Three into ten goes three times and n
third over" mentally ciphercd P.
Here was a chance, aud ne improved it,
too. He made love to tho beautiful and
unsophisticated daughter Of the Judge
and all his possessions. Strange to say,
for he was as uncouth looking cur as
ever went unlcked, his suit prospered
and they were married. The honeymoon
passed off as all honeymoons do, and
they were happy The bride was lively
and chat,y, and made illusions to her
brothers and sisters. Startled at so many
names he thought should not be in the
catalogue of relations, one evening at tea,
