SMALL DEBTS.
OR, WHAT FIVE DOLLARS PAID.
Mr. Heriol was sitting in his office, one
day, when a lad entered, and handed him
a small slip ol paper. /1 was a hill Cor
five dollars, due to Ids shoemaker, a poor
man who lived in the next square.
‘ Tell Mr. Grant that I will settle this
soon. Il isn’t just convenient io-day.”
The boy retired.
Now Mr. Heriot had a five dollar hill
in his pocket; but, he felt as il lie couldn't
part with it. He didn’t like to be en
tirely out of money. So, acting from
ibis impulse, he had sent the hoy away.
Very still sat Mr. Herriot for ilie next
five minutes; yet his thoughts were busy.
He was not altogether satisfied wjib him
self. The shoemaker was a poor man,
and needed his money as soon ns earned
—he was not unadvised of this fact. .
•S almost wish I had sent linn the five
dollars,’ said Mr. Herriot, at length, half
audible. •He wauls it worse than l do.’
He mused still farther.
‘The tact is,’ he at length eglainied, ‘
starling up, ‘ It’s Grant's money, and not
mine; and what is more, he shall have
it.’
So saying, Herriot took up his hat
and left his office.
• Did you gel the money, Charles,’said
Grant, as his b>y entered the shop.—
There was a good deal of earnestness in
the shoemaker's (ones.
• No sir,’ replied the lad.
‘ Didn’t get the money ?’
‘ No sir.*
‘ Wasn’t Mr. Herriot in ?’
‘Yes sir; but he said it wasn’t conve
nient today.’
‘ Oh, dear ! I’m sorry !’ came from the
shoemaker, in a depressed voice.
A woman was sitting in Grant's shop
when the boy came in; she had now
risen, and was leaning on the counter ; a
look of disappointment was in her face.
‘lt can’t be helped, Mrs. Lee,’ said
Grant. • I was sore of getting the money
from him. He never disappointed me
belore. Call in to-morrow, and I will
try and have it for you.’
The woman looked troubled as well as
disappointed. Slowly she turned away
and left the shop. A few minutes alter j
her departure Herriot came in, and after
some words of apology, paid the bill.
‘ Run and gel this hill changed into
•ilver for me,’ said the shoemaker, to,his
boy, the moment his customer had de
parted.
‘ Now,’ said he, as soon as the silver
was placed in his hands, 1 take two doll
ars to Mrs. Lee, and three to Mr. Wea
ver across the street. Tell Mr. Wea
ver that I am obliged to him for having
loaned it to tne this morning, and sorry
that I hadn't as much in the itous^ .when
lie sent for it nn hour ago.’
‘I wish I had it, Mrs. Elden. But,
I assure you that 1 have not,’ said Mr.
Weaver, the tail >r.‘ I paid out the last
dollar just belore you came in. But call
in to-morrow anil you shall have the mon
ey, to ;i certainty.’
‘ But w hat am I to do to-day ? 1 havn’i
a cent to bless myself with ; and 1 owe
so mnrl|| at the grocers, where Ideal,
that he won’t trust me for anything more.’
The tailor looked troubled, nnd the
woman lingered. Just at this moment
the shoemaker’s hoy enteied.
* Here are the three dollars Mr. Grant
borrowed ol you this morning,’ said the
lad. ‘He says lie’s sorry he hadn’t the
money when yon sent for it awhile ago.’
How the faces ol'tlie tailor and the need
lewoman hrightned instantly, as if a
gleam of sunshine had penetrated the
room.
‘Here is just the money I owe you,’
said the former,'in a cheerful voice, nnd
lie handed the woman the titree doljars
he had received. A moment after nnd
he was alone, but with the glad face
of the poor woman, whose need he had
been able (n supply, distinct before him.
Os the three dollars received by the
needlewoman, two went to.the grocer, on
account of her debt to him, half a dollar
was paid to aai old and needy colored
woman w ho,,earned it by scrubbing, and
who was waiting Mrs. Weaver’s return
from tlie tjjHor’s to get her due, and thus
be able to provide an evening and morn
ing’s meal for herself and children. The
other half dollar was paid to tlie baker
when lie called towards evening to leave
the accustomed loaf. Thus, lhe poor
needlewnma n had been able to discharge
four debts, and, at the same time re-estab
lish her credit with the grocer and baker,
from whom came the largest portion of
the food consumed in Iter little family.
And now lei its follow Mrs. Lee. On
her arrival al Imine, emty handed, from
her visit (o the shoemaker, who owed Iter
two dollars for work, site found a young
girl, in whose pale face w ere many marks
of suffering and care, awaiting her return.
The gill’s countenance brightned ns
she came in; but, there was no answer
ing brightness in ihe countenance us Mrs.
L-e, who immediately said—
’ I’m very sorry, Harriet, but Mr.
Grant put me off until to-morrow. He
said he hadn’t a dnllarsin the hovse.’
The girl’s disappointment was very
great, for tlie smile she had forced into
life instantly faded,and was succeeded by
a look of deep distress.
* Do you want the money very badly ?’
asked Mrs. Lee, in a low half choked
voice, for the sudden change in tlie girl's
manner had affected her.
‘O, yes ma’am, very badly. I left
| Mary wrnped up in my thick shawl,
| an<i a blanket wound all around her feet
I to keep them warm ; hu> sh* was cangh
ing dreadfully from the cold air of the
room.*
‘Havn'l you a fire ?’ asked Mrs. Lee,
in a quick, surprised tone.
‘We have no coal. It was to buy
coal that I wanted the money.’
Mrs. Lee struck her hands togealher,
and an expression of pain was about pass
ing her lips, when the door of the room o
peoed, and the shoemaker’s bnv came in.
‘ Here are two dollars, Mr. Grant sent
them.’
‘ God bless Mr, Grant!’ The excla
mation from Mrs. Lee was involuntary.
On the part of Harriet, tit whom one
dollar wag tine, a gush of silent tears
marked the effect this timely supply of
money produced. She received her por
tion, anil, without trusting her voice with
wards, hurried away to supply the press,
ing want at home:
A few doors from the residence of Mrs.
Lee lived a mm who, some mouths be
fore, had become involved in trouble
with an evil ditposed person, and been
forced to defend himself by nieanes ol tlie
law. He hail employed Mr. Herriot tit
do wit it was requisite in the case, for
; which service the charge was five doll
ars. The hill had been rendered a few
days before, null the man, who was poor,
felt very anxious to payiift f He had the
money nil made to within a doilur. That

dollar Mrs. Lee owed him, anc 1 she had
promised to give it to him during that
day. For hours lie had waited, expect
ing her to come in ; but now had nearly
given herup. There was another little bill
of three dollars which had been sent in
to him, and he had just concluded to go
and pay that, when Mrs. Lee called with
the balance of the money, one dollar,
which she had receive from the shoema
ker, Grant.
Half an hour later, and the pocket book
ol Mr. Herriot was no lunger emty. His
client had called and paid Itis hill. The
five dollars had come back to him.
T. St. A.
Inaugural Address of Gov. Cobb.
Senators and Representatives : —ln
obedience to the popular voice of the
State, I appear belore you to-day to as
sume the duties of the Executive Chair.
We have been called, gentlemen, to our
respective stations at an interesting pe
riod in the history of our State. In nil
the departments of life which stamp the
impress of progress and greatness upon
a people, Georgia occupies an eminent
position among her sister Slates of the
Republic.
7n agriculture, that noblest pursuit of
civilized man, she yields tlie palm of sup
eriority to none. Endowed by Provi
ilptice with a salubrious climate and fer
tile soil, under the culture of jter enter
prising citizens, site stands forth the gen
erous rival of tlie foremost amongst her
successful rival sisters.
In Manufactures and the Mechanic
Arts, our State presents a picture which
Iter proudest sous may contemplate with
pleasure and gratification, Tlie young.-
est among us may remember the time
when ilie walls of tlie first factory were
raisetl in our State; anil now in every
section of it, may he seen tlie daily in
creasing evidences ol tlie success which
lias attended the efforts of our energetic
citizens in the manufacture of ihe great
American staple. The progtess we have
made in the la.-t lew years in this and oth
er branches of manufacture, clearly fore
shadows the period as not far distant in
the future, when site will rank among the
most successful of tlie manufacturing
Slates of tlie Union.
Nor has Providence been less gene
rotH to us in tlie bestow ment of those
natural advantages which constitute the
basis of commercial greatness. Amidst
all the evidences that mark tlie progress
ive spirit of our people, to none should
Georgians look with more gratification,
than to those which charuieriae the ener
gy and efforts oflter principal seaport.
Linked and bound together as are the
different sections of our State, by her
system of Internal /inprovement, we be
gin to feel more truly and justly the iden
tity of interest anti feeling which should
exist between our mountains and sea
board. It itas made us neighbors in dis
tance ; it should make us neighbors in
iuterest and feeling.
In contemplating these results from
our roilrnad enterprises, our pleasure
should be enhanced by the reflection,
that they are the almost exclusive result
of individual effort and private capital
The State Road constitutes the only ex
ception to this geuernl remark. This
work, in its origin, gave promise of great
advantage to tlie State, in developing
tlie resources of that vast nnd interesting
section of country through|w htch it pass
es, and in forming ihe most important
link connecting tlie western waters with
the Atlantic coast. In the realization of
these anticipations, we find ample com
pensation for the labor and capital which
have been invested in this iinportunt en
terprise. It now depends, in a great
measure, upon the fostering care, enlight
ed judgment and unbending firmness of
the representatives of the people, to ren
der it a permanent monument of the wis
dom and forecast of its patriotic projec
tors. wP ‘
Whilst the aiteniioil of our people list
been directed, w ith characteristic energy,
to these sources of national wealth, they
It tve not been unmindful of that impor
tant and paramount duty—the education
of their sous and daughters, /t is indeed
n grateful spectacle in witness, through -
out the State, the increasing iuterest man
ifested on this interesting and important
subject, lu a free government like ours,
where all powers emanates from tlie peo
ple, we cannot too highly estimate the
importance of preserving throughout
the land {Hire hearts anil enlightened
minds. Those So shall place it within
