Written for the Register. 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 *» “ 1 , ‘ nc " , «! c 'r t on h f la Frank!! e county, but in many ...... .. ,* ‘ ,,,rtWl ‘ nookunon lh * 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. Lookeron. Franklin County, 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. BUCKLENSARNICA SALVE.

L. MIZE. ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM 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 army . CITATION. Georgia Franklin County, To all whom it may concern, A. J.

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.
