"About the year 1615, there was..a No¬ bleman in Germany, whole daughter was courted by a young Lord. When he ha<! made fuch progrefs in this affair as is ufual by the interpofition of friends, the old Lord had a conference with him, afkiug him how he intended, if he married his daughter, to maintain her ? He replied equal to her qual¬ ify. To Which the father replied, that was no anfwer to his que [lion ; he defired to know what he intended to maintain her with ? To which the young Lord then anfweied, he hoped that was no queition ; for his in¬ heritance was as public as his name.—The old Lord owned his polTeiTions to be great, but Ml] afked, if he had nothing more fecuie than land, wherewith to maintain his daugh¬ ter ? The queflion was flrange, but ended in this j that the father of the young lady gave his pofitive refolve, never to marry his daughter, though his heir,'and would "have two fuch great eflates, but to a man who had a_ manual trade, by which he might fub- M if drove from his country. The young Lord was mailer of none at prefent, but ra- ed at the grave, the coffin was fct down with great care, and one of them was about to make a fpeech upon the death of their compan¬ ion—Scarcely bad he time to utter one word, before the lid of the coffin flew open, and the money maker jumped out and made his efcape ; while the poor negroes af¬ frighted aMoft to diftraciion, ran with great violence in every direc¬ tion, fcreaming " de Debil ! c!e Debil ! de Debil l" The miftake Crockery and .; Glals Ware, \ Which, In addition to his former ilock, will make his affortTnent, very complete : the whole of which will be fold at the Montreal prices, for cafh or any kind of produce.
