With many thanks to the citizens of

SUCH IS LIFE.
A Story Full of Striking Truths
Some of whioh Fit Some of
The Citizens of North
East Georgia,
“My dear, did yon know Mrs. A1
ton was sick?” said Mr Comer as he
seated himself on the front piazza of
his elegant mansion.
“No James, is she sick?"
“Yes, very sick I suppose, John
Alton came over just now to get
some more supplies, but 1 could not
not let him have any more. The
Doctor says liis wife will die and if
she does he will lose his crop. He
cannot take care of tour children
and tend his crop. Perhaps you had
belicr step over this evening and sec
her, aid carry something along to
nourish her a little.”
“I’ll try to go,” said Mrs. Comer.
Second day: “My dear, did you
go over to see Mrs. Alton on yester¬
day?”
“No, just as I was fixing to start
Mrs. Tiddle came in and I could not
go. She is worse I suppose, the
said she might live . till ... night.
Doctor
I’ll try to go and see her this even
ing,” said Mrs. Comer
Third dav: “John have you heard
from Mrs Alton this morning?”
“Yes, she is dead, poor woman, I
am sorry. What will John do with
his tour children?”
“k do not know. I saw yesterday
evening that she could not live long.
What will you do with his cro r ?”
“Oh! I will have it finished my
self.”
“As I thought,” said Mrs. Comer*
“I don’t see what be is to do with
those four children. There is some
one at the gate James.”
Mr Comer gets up and walks lies
urcly out to the gate to see what
was wanted. In a few moments he
came rushing into the house almost
out of breath, and informed Mrs. C.
that Mrs- Combs little boy is sick.
“We must go to her.” said Mrs.
Comer.
“Yes! Tv..:*. ’ said Mr. Comer.
“Jack run down to the bottoms aim
tell the boy 8 to bring the horses
here quick. Only 8 miles we can
make it in an hour.”
Everything is in a hustle and bur¬
ry! hurry!! hurry!!! Horses are
brought up and hitched to the ear
l iage without ceremony.
“Are you ready wife,” said Mr. C.
“Nearly,” said the wife. “Tilda
bring me two jars of those best pre*
serves out of the dairy, perhaps they
are older than any of Mrs. Combs,
and Johnnie can eat a few of them.”
All ready and off they go, to con
sole the rich Mrs. Combs in her sad
affliction. They soon arrive and
rush into the house only to shower
down their sympathy on Mi’s. Combs
and then on Johnnie, who has had a
shght attack of colic, caused from
from eating too much, probably. Johnnie
Fourth day: “Well wife
is much better this morning He
seems to like those preserves, l think
be will be ail right again in a few
hours. I expect we had better go
home this morning and try to start
up business again.
Now Mr. Editor, I have drawn a
^
rru the
tenant living with Mr. Comet
rich Land Lord, while Mrs. Combs
was a rich widow living 8 miles dis
taut. They carrv their piescnls and
down their sympathy on
time who do not need it, and who
Jo not from l heir heart thank them

poor tenant with a kiud of holy
horror, and when they are obliged
to speak to him in company they
speak in a low tone as if they were
afraid some one would hear them.
They will shower down their chan¬
ty on those who do not need it, and
yet, when the crop is gathered the
land lord cariies it to market, sells it
and puts the money in his pocket,
and the tenant noTer sees a dollar,
he happens to see money pass from
the merchant to the land lord. At
the end cf the year, tenant calls for
a settlement.
*‘Oh,” says the land lord, “its
hardly necessary to bother about a
settlement. I have adjusted yonr
account, and find you have not quite
paid ont, hut its only a small amount
and will just consider it even.
On Sunday the land lord, with his
family in a fine carriage drive off to
the house of God, and don’t even
offer his tenant a donkey to vide, if
he gets to church he must walk.
The land lord tal es a leading part
in chi rch affairs, prays long prayers,
sings long and loud songs, and goes
home in the evening feeling that he
is certainly chief of men.
Cun such a man ever see inside
the pearly gates of eternal bliss.
I do net pretend to say that ail
land lords are such as I have desciib
od above, theie are good men among
the number. Blit if I am fortunate
enoush to get to Heaven, I will bo
very much surprised if I find some
men there that I now have my njind
on in Noith Georgia.

Senator Brown to Senator
Yoorhees.
A curious scene was witnessed in
the Senate the other day, and Sena¬
tor Brown, of Georgia, figured
prominently in it. The Senator
nad pvepared a speech on Mexican
claims, and owing to his weak phys
sical condition, he was allowed to
remain sitting whi.e he read it.
Reading in a very low tone of voice
his speech attracted very little at¬
tention, except from Senatoi Voor
heeo,-who went over to where Sen.
ator Brown was reading and took
seat near him. Obseffvhig this,
the Georgia Senator wheeled
cfcair so as to face the Indiana Sens
ator, and to the galleries it looked
as if he were delivering his speech
to the Tall Sycamore rather than
to the /Senate. The Geoi gia Sena*,
tor gets a good deal of interesting
and valuable matter into his speech'
es, and no doubt Mr. Voorhees was
greatly edified.—Savannah Newe.

GEN. GORDON AT GETTYS¬
BURG.
Gen. J. B. Gordon, of Georgia,
was another Confederate who trav.
e!ed far and wide over the battle
field to-day. His wife was with
him in the carriage during the ride
and Col. Frank A. Burr acconipans
ied them, Mrs. Gordon is one ot
the southern wives of soldiers who
shared no little part of their hus¬
bands’ hardships. She was with
Gen. Gordon through the greater
part of four years of campaigning,
sharing every hope and fear of the
confederate cause. To-duy she is a
tall, slender woman, with feature of
strong and refined lines. Her dnrk
hair has but few lines of gray.
When a correspondent spoke to her
to-day of the magnificent speech
which Gen, Gordon made at vester.
day’s reunion of the blue and the
gray, she said! “For a week before
the general started on his journey
here I kept saying to him: ‘You
have a speech to makea.. Gettysburg,
why do yon not make some prepara¬
tions?’ He would say: ‘I haven’t
time now.’ He wrote that speech
on the train coming here, and I
copied it for him.’ Mrs Gordon is,
by the way, idolized by thousands of
southern soldiers.
Gen. Gordon came toward Get.ys
burg twenty-five years ago on the
road from York, and struck the
right flank of the eleventh corps
during the first day of the battle.
He was fresh from his raid toward
fc] )e Susquehanna Valley, and it was
his arrival which did nruen to over¬
whelm the union fotces and drive
them oack through Gettysburg and
to the positions held duriug the
second and third days. Over the
scene of his march of his arrival,
Gen. Gordon rode to-day, and every
f 00 fc of ground bore a harvest of
reminiscences. Gen. Gordon also
visited tho scene of the second day’s
assault on Culp’s hill. A union
officer who visited to-day fight that same Gen.
scone of the first day’s Eleventh was
Bartow, then of the corps,
who was shot down by flordon’s
fire and left for dead upon the field.
Gordon's troops found him there,
and Gordon himself saw that the
union general received all the cave
and attention due a gallaut combat¬
ant. It is another coincidence that
Gen. Barlow led the charge ordered
by Hancock at Spotsylvania, which
Gordon finally stayed, and so.favcd

TIIF FORCE OF HABIT.
“Do you see those two soldiers
coming up the street?" asked a roil"
itary man of a Tribune reporter yes¬
terday.
“Yes.”
“Those fellows belong to the reg¬
ular army and it you will observe
me eloeelv l’l! give you a good il¬
lustration of the force of habit and
results of stret discipline. You
notice that they keep perfect
and walk erect, as the
ranks, Nijvr watch them.”
" When the two soldiers airivrd op
p osite the speaker, he suddenly said,
in a brisk, sharp tone;
“By the left flank, march!”
In un instant the two men turned
to the left, and had taken several
steps toward the gutter befoie they
were aware or it. A loud laugh re¬
sulted, and tho two confused-look*
ing defenders of the nation ins
creased their pace without looking
back.—Minneapolis Tribune.
