We were informed both by the missionaries and the planters, that every year and month they are becoming more constant, as husband and wife, more faithful as parents, and more dutiful as children. One planter said that out of a number who left his employ after 1834, nearly all had companions on other estates, and left for the purpose of being with them.
The Indian was, in his turn, offended, and said, we listened to your stories, why do you not listen to ours? you are not instructed in the common rules of civility. A hunter, in his wandering for game, fell among the back settlements of Virginia, and on account of the inclemency of the weather, sought refuge at the house of a planter, whom he met at the door. He was refused admission.
It may surprise you to know that the man upon earth who is best versed in this disease is not a medical man, but a planter. Mr. Culverton Smith is a well-known resident of Sumatra, now visiting London. An outbreak of the disease upon his plantation, which was distant from medical aid, caused him to study it himself, with some rather far-reaching consequences.
Moti Guj paid the white man the compliment of charging him nearly a quarter of a mile across the clearing and 'Hrrumphing' him into the verandah. Then he stood outside the house chuckling to himself, and shaking all over with the fun of it, as an elephant will. 'We'll thrash him, said the planter.

He was about forty years of age, and, having never been reduced to labor in the cane-fields, bore his age remarkably well.
The old names and the old animosities of federal and republican will be lost, but the passions will have full scope in the new. I am not wholly free from apprehension that you take no interest in any thing but a rice-field. Fame says that you are about to degenerate into a mere planter.
He stood looking on the ground, till a glass of champagne was brought to him, bowed to the company, drank it off, and was gone. "How demure the fellow looks!" said Monsieur Papalier, a planter, to Bayou, his neighbour in the plain, who now sat opposite to him; "what an air of infinite modesty he put on!
It occurred to him that all here might not be as friendly as appeared. "And there's another matter," Mr. Blood resumed. "There's a matter of a flogging that's due to me. Ye're a man of your word in such matters, Colonel if not perhaps in others and ye said, I think, that ye'd not leave a square inch of skin on my back." The planter waved the matter aside. Almost it seemed to offend him. "Tush!
"They were to go home after breakfast this morning; the daughter's to come out again to-morrow and stay with Betty until she leaves." "What's that you're saying?" cried Murrell. "She's going back to North Carolina to those friends of hers; it's no concern of mine, she does what she likes without consulting me." There was a brief pause during which Murrell scowled at the planter.
