bled thpre. The persons, we infer
from the city papers, had reason to
be pleased with the menu and admira
ble management of those who super
intended it. Major Joseph Ganahi's
address of welcome was all that could
be desired to strengthen the bonds of
friendship between the Carolinians
and Georgians, and was loudly ap
plauded. Mr. J. W. Carlisle respond
ed briefly at the call of Mr. Walsh in
an eloquent way, returning the thanks
of the Carolinians for the eloquent
and cordial welcome. For an hour
and a half, those present discussed the
sumptuous fare with the addition of
claret and champalgne and eloquent
toasts. South Carolina, rail roads,
manufactures, mercantile Interests,
the press .and woman, were all elo
quently alluded to and a number of
letters were read from business and
influential gentlemen, whose engage
ments prevented their attendance.
The banquet lasted for nearly three
hours, and all them adjourned to the
Masonic theatre where the compli
mentary ball was already in progress.
The Augusta Chronicle very happily
says, “the banquet was spread for the
men, the ball was complimentary to
the Carolina ladies, and never did
that made up of the JmnglecfVeao'ft
and chivalry ofCaiuu.™ «—. - oeauty
If aught was lacking before, to weld
the ties of friendship and good feeling
between Augusta and her guests, we
know the hearts of the gallant Caro
linians were led captive by our ladies,
and though, two, out of five Augusta
men. who responded to toasts at the
banquet, boasted that their wives
were from Carolina, we doubt not
that a future occasion will fiud the
list augmented. About midnight re
freshments were served, and not un
til the wee small hours, of another day
had come to join in the merry making,
did the great Spartanburg entertain
ment end, and the young people sep
arate to reproduce in happy dreams
the pleasures of the day.”
Other pleasant things we must leave
out for want of space, hut happy mem
ories will ever follow this joyous meet
ing of chevaliers and fair women of
Carolina and Georgia.

CO
voted Christian companions ot Honor
ed citizens of Milledgeville, others
have moved away, and others still
have gone to their reward. The boys
who still survive are scattered, we
know not where.— We meet with one
occasionally in our itinerant travels,
and love to" recall the memory of our
bovkood. and school days.
'there was one, however, who at
tended the school whom it was our
happy lotto In? associated with for
▼ears’ afterward : even when we had
reached the maturity of manhood.
He it is to whose cherished memory
these lines are penned, and of whom
we shall now sneak particularly:
George W. Garrett had a multitude
of friends in Milledgeville, among
whom he was universally beloved.
Enemies; lie had none. Christian
character is the pinnacle of human
greatness; the brightest example for
those who follow, and the only pass
port to the happiness beyond, when
life’s mission is ended.
Inspiration declares: “an honest
man is the noblest work of God.”
Then, how fitting it is to eulogize an
honest man. There was no better
specimen of manhood, morally speak
ing, than the subject of this memorial.
Though frail in body and subsequent
ly wasted in physical strength, he
rightly viewed, rightly understood
life’s true inhsion, used this world as
notabu3ing it, overcame through Him
who loved him and was ready to leave
when the death summons!came. How
well he lived is amply demonstrated
by the Christian fortitude with which
he died. He knew Him in whom he
believed, ami was not afraid to die.
“Can you still say ‘thy will be done?’ ”
said a very dear friend who sat at his
bedside. “Yes,” was his prompt and
decided reply. “How about your
family? xYre you willing to trust
them?” “Yes, He can keep them here
as me there.” Such were in substance
his final remarks with regard to his
future, aud iu these utterances we
learn that he had fought a good fight
and had won the greatest of earth’s
victories, the consciousness of his ac
ceptance with God in the hour Of
death.
Iu life we knew him well, for indeed
there was no one with whom we were
half so intimate, and others who knew
him will endorse us when we say, to
know him was to love him. How
much of true manhood was born
throughout his entire being will at
once appear as we retrospect his life,
which but a few weeks ago termina
ted so triumphantly. From childhood
his honor and integrity were proverb
ial. He was not faultless, it is true;
he was tempted like other men, but
when led astray his confessions to
God and his fellowmen, were full and
unreserved. It was a great relief to
him to unbosom himself to his breth
ren and tell them of his shortcomings.
It was a relief to his soul. Vanity
and hypocrisy found no permanent
lodgment in his heart. He was open
as day. Nothing was hidden, his
eyes were the windows to his soul,
ways willing, ready, auu’aiiift/uo i-v>
his whole duty under all circumstan
ces, and in every emergency. He w-as
never wont to deceive, his promise
was relied upon, and his friends knew
that his word was his bond. His lib
erality seemed often to extend to self-
deprivation but he realized that he
was lending to the Lord. Ilis motto
in regard to temporal gains was
“make all I can, save all 1 can, give
all I can.” And he lived it. What a
uoblo example of faith and Christian
integrity is this for young men to fol
low ! An elevated tv >e of Christian
character was exhibited in his daily
life.
He had scarcely reached the merid
ian of life, when he was called to his
reward. Yet we may say, he lived
much, because he lived right. When
an Egyptian king asked Jacob, “How
old art thou?” The patriarch replied,
“Few and evil have the days of the
years of thy servant been.” Yet Ja
cob had measured one hundred and
twenty years. George Garrett s days
have not been few and they have not
been evil. Long life is not the condi
tion most favorable to virtue; the
necessity and propriety of getting
ready to die promptly is a conserva
tive element in moral government.
The number of onr days is not a just
criterion as to how much man has liv
ed. The philosophical idea is wiser and
better. The grandest of ancient phi
losophers, Aristotle, said, “To ener
gize is to exist.” Mere breathing is
not existing; man's life consists in
what he does. It is not most impor
tant to enquire, what shall we eat,
drink or wear, but how shall we live,
so as to make the most of the present
life, and at the same time make sure
of life eternal. Our deceased friend
lived as seeing Him who is invisible.
His chief desire in life was to do and
suffer the will of his Blessed Master.
It seems evident that for years prior
to his death he had presentments that
his earthly career would be brief, and
he was anxious to do his utmost in
the allotted time, maintaining a steady
confidence in God, and an' unyielding
obedience to his commands. Nor did
lie* view the race fts at all uncertain .
herein is one of the sure evidences of
his true pietv, his faith. He knew in
whom he believed, and was often over
joyed at the prospect of final triumph.
Some years since, on a lovely Sab
bath afternoon George and the writer
strolled in the direction of your beau
tiful eitv cemetery. Ws entered the
gate, arid as we paced the walks lie-
side the flowery hedges above the
sleeping dead, he was discovered to
be deeplv meditating, his eves firmly
fixed on the marble and mounded sods

a£au - DAY & j’ANNAHILL,
nd 735 Broad Street,
BY CHARLOTTE E. DREW.
Two girls sat in their bedroom, in
front of a bright coal fire. One of
them had been crying, and the tliia
light showed her swollen eyes and
face.
The other sat erect, and gazed into
the bed of coal with large, tearless
bright eyes, and ever and anon her
fil
lips would move, and she would sav,
half defiautly: “He didn’t do it—niy
grandfather didn't do it.''
Down stairs their parents, too, sat
in front of a glowing fire, and while
the mother bowed her head on her
husband's knee, in an agony of grief,
he attempted no consolation other
than occasionally stroking her hair,
indeed he was unable to do more, for
he too suffered—a tear now and then
rolling fiuchecked over liis face.
In the parlor across the hall, both
doors being open between the two
rooms, was a handsome case, and the
murdered son and brother lay therein
—his young life had been bouyant one
hour, and gone the next.
No neighbors or friends were pres
ent. It was the wish of the family to
be alone with their double grief;* fof
the grandfather of the dead youth
had been arrested as his murderer.
That afternoon f'harlev Kingsley
had left home, and gone to the resi
dence of his grand father, in the wes-i
tern portion of the city.
It was a beantiful place, rather sei
eluded for a city lot, and occupied on ?
ly by Mr. Kiogslev, Sr., ami a ehild
of scarcely twelve years of age—an
orphan grandson who was a “Buftchl
back.”
This boy was the old man’s idol, and
with him everything bent to the
wishes of the child or ‘Parley” as ev*
ery one called him. The patient en*
durance with which the lad bore hii
ugly deformity; and his bright min
and cheerfulness, won him the lov
of all.
Charley found his grandfather and
gi
little cousin about to leave home for
below. Suddenly a bright smile beam
ed across his countenance and address
ing us in his familiar, loving way, he
remarked in substance : “Lyman, I
have often contemplated with great
jov the dav when this drooping frame
of mine shall be silently laid to rest
here, to mingle with the ashes of the
many loved ones who have preceded
me and who will follow me to await
the resurrection of the just. Yes," he
continued, “I shall one day enter that
gate my last time, and I often feel
that the time is drawing near. 1 am
patiently waiting the Master's call
and endeavoring to live so as ever to be
ready, and I can say now, that I have
no misgivings about the future.
How appropriate such a speech to the
occasion and surroundings! How in
dicative of true friendship, in thus re
vealing his thoughts to a life-long
friend, and to one whom he knew lov
ed him as a brother! \es mdeini

that we should speak of him as one
He has simply taken Ins transit
short drive, so he promised to await
their return.
The sun had set. People were lms-i
tening home, for the cold was intense
toward night.
An intimate friend, unannounced,
opened the door of the Kingsley sit
ting room, his hand full of fruit for
Carley. Hut on the threshold he stop
ped appalled, for near an open win
dow lay young Kingsley, face up
ward, and quite dead, while opposite
stood his grandfather nervouslv flnger-
iug a pistol. He saw the new comer,
and tried to speak, but seemed una
ble. His face was as white as that of
the dead, and he tottered to a chair,
tfirow-ing the pistol out of the open
window.
The report of the murder spread
rapidly, as such things will, and just
at dark the white-haired old man was
arrested and lodged in the city jail,
though he said repeatedly that he
had not fired the fatal shot, nor dhl
he know who had. But circumstan
ces were against him. Nothing was
known or could be proved as yet.
Carley was wild with grief, and Jack,
the faithful old man-servant, had to
keep a close watch nyion him to pre
vent his trying to go to the prison.
He was such a frail, sickly, sensitive
child, and his big eyes, full of the
wistfulness always found in the eyes
of such unfortunates, refused to close
until the night was far spent. And
Jack sat near the bed. He had prom
ised “Mass Henry” to stick by Carley,
and he was going to do it.
Day by day the child wasted away,
aud whenever he was carried to the
urison he would cling in such a rapture

keep him away entirely. Away from
the prison he liked best to be with flo
ra, the girl who had gazed in tearless
agony into the fire the night of the
murder, and who so often said : “He
didn’t do it, Grandfather didn’t kill
buddie Char.”
None of the family believed the old
man guilty, though many people
thought the fact of his being found
with the pistol, and then throwing it
out of the window, was proof conclu
sive. No explanation was needed,
they thought. And it certainly was
aga’inst him. Indeed no one else
could even be suspicioned, and the re
sult was inevitable. The whole city
was in commotion over the impending
trial, and varied comments were made
upon the change in the appearance
and manner of the prisoner. He had
lost much flesh, and was very ner
vous and silent—seldom talking to
any one except Carley. And when
the dreaded time came the child was
present through the entire trial, his
white, eager face, and constantly lock
ing and interlocking fingers, exciting
as much notice as did liis grandfather.
The jury were not out long, and
when they returned, the word “guilty "
fell on the listening ears with a dis
tinctness appalling. “Guilty of mur
der, but recommended to mercy,”
was the sentence. He heard it—the
child—and in the continued hush he
arose, and walked excitedly to the
prisoner’s stand.
People rose, in their intense excite
ment, to catch a glimpse of the hunch
back bov. and ilieir hearts thumped
as his shrill little voice rang out.
The prisoner had sunk into his chair
as the boy came forward, and uncon
sciously an officer had moved a step
nearer.* In a moment he was con
fronted by the child. “Just touch
him if vou dare !” shrieked out the lit
tle voice laden with passion. “You

you, father,” said the younger man,
und with hardly a moment’s pause he
added; “The child didn't do it. Will
Merryman is the murderer.”
“And the boy?’’ asked the gray
haired man iu a dazed voice “Do you
mean to say he told that pitiful little
tale of his in the court-room to save
me? - ’
“It is undoubtedly true," was an
swered. “Manas 1 am, I cannot con
ceive how he could have been so brave,
for he believed tliat they would surely
hang liim, or he would uot beg so pit
eously not to be hung.
There was perfect sueiice for a while.
The old man seemed not to under
stand.
“How wa
ow was it?” he finally asked.—
AAV m '* 41. AAV UiitUAJ UOIVVVA.
“How dhl you say you found it out?'
hi ’*
“He told me himself—Will Merry-
man. You know he is a notorious
house-breaker. He had been arrest
ed, charged with murder, aud was
lodged in the jail here. He sent for
me last night. He said he knew he
would not be cleared for the evidence

die anyhow, lie wanted to tell me that
' ad killed my boy."
he bat! killed my boy.” It was some
minutes Before the father could pro
ceed. At last he said; “The man
knew of .your wealtlq and finding the
house apparently deserted, he enter
ed, and was hunting for a hiding
place, iu order to await for night, for
he expected you every minute then,
when lie came across Charley, read
ing. The bravo boy knew his pur
pose was a bad one, and tried to grap
ple him, and in the struggle, if it may
be called that, the monster snatched
your pistol from the table, anil put a
bullet through the boy's heart, then
raised a window and Hod. Then, you
know, you returned, and sent Carley
in while you drove the horse to the
stable, and stopped to give Jack some
directions, bo no wonder you
thought Carley had fired the fatal
shot while you were away; though it
now appears tliat the ehild liatl not
gone near the sitting-room until after
von came in.”
“Sin! aye, what bitter fruit it
bears,” muttered the old man, as if in a
reverie. "Surely our God has no
punishment to great for such a vil
lain.”
Some months later a final effort was
made to restore the mind of the brave
boy.
He had never forgotten where
Charley was buried, and always made
some shrinking motion when in the
drives he daily took with his grand
father, they would occasionally pass
the cemetery.
Will Merryman was to be hung on
the seventh of December, and as the
dav drew near, Carley was daily car
ried to the grave of his cousin; and
on the day of the execution the car
riage was driven directly from the
cemetery to the scaffold. Hut the
minute that the scaffold, which had
Wilere air. mugnicj ■
ed, came in view, the child became
frantic. It required both his grand
father and the physician to control
him. f3ne moment he would assure
them he had not killed Charley, and
the next he would declare that he had
done it, and would implore Dr. Ben
ton to save his grandfather.
It was over. The boy had been
forced to see it all, and when the body
had been cut down, he lay in his
grand father's arms as if dead, anil was
rapidly conveyed home.
P'
Physicians were with him until far
into the night. At twelve o’clock,
they left him conscious, but in a dy-
ug condition.

I'll kill you,” and his large
eyes were glorious in their earnest
ness.
No one interrupted him, and no one
smiled at the idea of that delicate
boy, with his ridiculously small hand
and crooked body, opposing himself to
the tall officer.
Deliberately he turned and faced
the Judge.
“It is a lie,” [he hissed, the same
quivering passion in his voice 1 “I
tell you my grandfather didn't kill
Charley. I did it. He called me a
hunchback and I shot him. Now
turn my grandfather loose, and hang
me,” and the deformed body struck the
floor with a thud, for God had merci
fully sent unconscionsness to the tor
tured child.
The room was full of sobbing wo
men and grave looking men, as the
senseless little form was borne out;
and ten minutes later the grandfather
held the young murderer in his arms,
and a carriage hastened with them
homeward. .. . .
Physicians followed promptly, but
they shook their heads. Tke temble
strain had been too much, they said,
and reason had surely forsaken her
th Day e aml night the old man was by
the bed, hungering for
which fell from the hot lips. But it
was always the same. „
“I’ve saved you, grandfather, the
child would murmur, then he would
shrink to the back of the bed, and cry
out: “Don’t hang me—don t. I didn t
kill him,” in the next breath scream
ing out: “Don’t touch my grandfath
er I killed him, I declare I did.
It was agonizing. Few ever enter
ed the room whodid not leave it weep-
1D fiiis mind seemed entirely gone. Six
months passed drearily away, and
still the old man was searching for
means to restore the boy to his wont
ed health of body and brain.
It was the last of October. Mr.
Kingsley, Jr., was pacing up and
down the sitting room at Kingsley
House—the same room in which his
sou had been killed. He was awaiting-
the arrival of his father and the child
who had been traveling for a month ;
he had important news for them.
, “At last! At last!” he exclaimed, as
carriage wheels stopped at the gate.
The boy vvaA brought in, and^put to
bed by old Jack, for the
had tired him much. He fell asleep at

left him alone with his white-haired

each other.

ugly to look upon, and very emacia
ted, but the soul was all glorious,
and his dark eyes were bright, and
once more free from all look of in
sanity. , , - •
“You say it lias been full six
mouths, and more, since that day,
grandfather?'’ he asked.” “Ami you
say I’ve been unconscious all that
time’ I remember when those cruel
men said you were guilty, and how
frightened I was when the Judge
looked at me. But I’m glad I did it,
-anyhow. It was best you know, even
if they had hung me, for I was only a
hunchback, and no one but you cared
for me, and everybody loved you, and
would have missed you,” and he nes
tled up closer to the old man, who sat
on the side of the b-’d and tried to
keep calm, though he felt as if he
would like to cry like the weakest
“Grandfather," the boy said after a
pause, “don't vou think God has for
given me for telling that he—-it was
one, you know, and he looked in
tently at the old man.
“He has, my child. He has, _He for
gave vou as soon as vour loving lips
had uttered the words.”
“God is so good,” said Carley, smil
ing. “I’ll go to sleep now, grand
father dear. I feel like resting some.
It seems so nice to go to sleep ant-
know all is right once more.”
He went to sleep and when he
awoke the radiance of heaven was all
about him. . ,
