We have a splendid assortment of HIGH-GRADE Mi:ilri<*r> always In stot only that lie did not en courage immoderate drinking, but that, as far as his native modesty would allow, he warned against it, ; i< spectacle married men Many a time had he been known to dissuade from indulgence beyond the degree of safety, and prevail in substituting for strong drink a cup of hot coffee, tak ing the tempted into one of his back rooms and putting him in the chargeof A brain, his black man-of-all-work. Not a few wives thanked him private ly, or sent him nosegays, either for bribying their husbands home of nights or for taking care of them iu his own quarters. Almost everybody often had z -me pleasant, kindly word to say about Gus who, a cousin of Mrs. Enlow, Hai r-nh's mother, had come to Milledgaville when a and now was making a comfortable living in a business which, although not among those of first-class respecta bility, was better, he felt, than some; and whatever apology was due for fol lowing it he made by entirely fair deal ing, abstaining from meddling in the affairs of anybody else, and doing such little kindnesses as his opportunities allowed. One who for some years had been re ceiving from him charities of one sort and another was Owen Carruthers, a young man who, despite the decadence coming upon irregular habits, was al ways neat in appearance as weU as strikingly handsome. Property of a few thousands was rapidly spent on coming of age just after his father's death. He lived with his mother in a small house 6» Franklin 6treet, south of the Capitol square, and had former ly worked at odd times in the office of his father, who for a. long time was clerk of the superior court. Owen could have been bis successor if he had wished, for be had acquired in the use of the pen an expei*ness quite beyond that of his father. But he chose to in dulge freedom from the res.trainta of nonage in other ways. Occasionally, either to accommodate or to refill his empty purse, he would do a little cler ical work for a merchant or an official in the statehouse. He was of slight GCS RACIIELB AND LISHY FLINT. build,darkish-white complexion, black, glossy, curling hair, which he wor® long. When erect he was nearly six feet tall, but an attack of rheumatism, following a night of exposure to the cold air, had bent his left leg so that he limped and had to carry a wa lking stlck. He always wore good clothes, of which he took the utmost care, so that a garment which he had worn during more than one season some times looked as if it had been just got from the clothier. He had an affec tipnate nature, and therefore, and be oause of his lameness and otfier in firmities, he was more -pitied in his ae clinc than many another who had gone down in the same way. Of all persons, possibly except his mother, Qua lings of e.very sort, was touched tenderly by the affection of Car ruthers. Times without number he had admonished him, and, on inclem ent nights, seen that he reached homo in safety. Whenever he could not dis suade him from going to excess, ho let him have a weak dram or two more, sure that if he did not the poor fel low, In accord with his threat, would go elsewhere and do worse. Occa sionally he could win him several weeks from his besetting sin, and In the Interval get him some clerical work, which lie did with a nicety ot execution that nobody in town could equal. On the streets he was always in gay spirits, and his comments upon persons pnd thing's were listened to with at leas., as much attention as they deserved. One day, while one of a knot of men on tho sidewalk of Wayne street before Rainer's store, being 1 iu loquacious mood, he said: "I don't care how far behind a big 1 town Milledgevillo is, it's got as many good people in It, according to popula tion, as any of 'em. I'm not a-speak ing of preachers, and leading church professors, and women. They're all good, of course, with a few exceptions —no time to stop and mention. Hut outside of them, that of course natch'ly claims to be perfect, my opinion is Ous Rachels is a man that ain't so very far behind the most of the best of 'em, even if he isn't any more than a gro cerykeeper." Among the listeners was old Mr. Li shy Flint, who lived near the En lows, ami near where the Amersons dwelt before they moved to town. Once or twice a month, on a Saturday, he came into town, and, after taking' a toddy at Rachel's, walked and sat about on the streets until it was time for him to start upon his return home. Mis chief boast was that he was a law abiding citizen, whose advice to every body would be to keep out of disputes of every kind except such as were harmless in their possible conse quences, and when the he were serious to submit to reasonable compromises rather than plunge or be plunged in {udicial litigation.
