From Grave to Cav.
FROM the -AHanta (GaO Jouno

From the atlanta tGG.) Journal.
A cluster of ten graves attracts the eye
Of every one who visits the graveyard at
Griffin.
These graves and the legend above them
awaken an irresistible sense of humor. At
the heads of the five larger graves stand
plain marble slabs, each being simply flori-
ed and bearing the name and age of my
wife" The five little graves have small
slabs of the same simple design, each bear
ing the name Of a dead child
One husband has buried here his five
wives. and one father his five children. By
the side of each mother sleeps her child, and
one husband and father buried them all
He said the reason he had the same kind
of tombstone placed over them was his
strict sense of impartiality. He had loved
each alike, and 10 one wife more than the
other. No later Rachel had supplanted
Leah; and he did not wish to show auy par
TALLY in the matter of their graves.
The slabs are so arranged that the first is
that over the first wife, then comes the
headstone Of the little child-grave; then
the second wife and the second little child.
So that reading them in proper order you
get the following legend and moral:
MY wife Mary. aged 25"
Little Simeon"
"My wife Jane, aged 81"
Little Georgia"
''My wife Anna. aged 27."
Little Birdie
"My wife Maria, aged %"
Little Ruth.
my wife Betsy, aged 80"
Little Hope"
He has buried the 'Gittle hope" be had
but he was still marrying man, and after
being ''cOnsoled" he began lnquiring among
the neighbors "if they knew of adesirable
woman who wanted to marry"
