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. cottou orisnsriisrca- AT- Bromn's Crossing.

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.

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 JonathanneverlovedDavidmorethan we loved George Garrett.Oureartu lv paths have severed: how strange 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.

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 just put your hand on my grandfather and I'll—I into the bright where lie still i.rwr.ors God m a higher sphere ana a honors God in a higher buw “ nobler realm.

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.

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. .. . .

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.

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.
