WHAT CENT GROWS TO.

A cent seems Of little value, but If
it is only doubled i few times, 1t
grows to marvellous sum. A young
lady in Portland caught her father in
very rash premise. by knowledge
Of this fact Oh her part:
She mo5eStly proposed that if her
father would give her only one cent
on one day, and double the amount
on each successive day for just one
month, she would pledge herself new
er TO ask Of him another cent of mon.
ey as long as she lived. Pdter tamiN-
as. not stopping 10 run over the figures
in his head, and not supposing it
would amount to q large sum, was
glad to accept the offer at once, think.
ing it also favorable opportunity
to include possible marriage dowry
in the future. On the twenty-tifth
day ne became greatly alarmed, lest
if he complied with his own accep-
tance he might be obliged to be :sde-
clared bankrupt on his own peti.
tion."
But on the thirtieth day the young
girl demanded only the pretty little
sum of $5.36S, ,709.l2! The aston.
ished merchant was only too happy
to cancel the clam by advancing
handsome cash paymen: for his folly
in allowing himself to give bond
for his word he considered as good
a> his bonti-without noticing the
consideration therein expressed, and
by promising TO return to the old
custom Of advancing smaller sums
daily until otherwise ordered.

old gentleman had fuifilei bis prom,
