want of a second story with four
rooms added to its rear. 1t was kept
by Augustus Rachels, middle-sized,
reddish-haired bachelor, whom every
body liked. A temperate, even an
abstemious, person himself, his stock
was kept equal to that of any
similar establishment either In Sa-
vannah or Augusta. Not only men,
but women had respect and even
some affection for him, 1t was well
known not only that he did not en-
courage immoderate drinking, but
that, as far as his native modesty
would allow. he warned against it,
particularly in the cases of youth and
respectable married men Many
time had he been known to dissuade
from indulgence beyond the degree of
safety, and prevail in substituting for
strong drink cup of hot coffee, TAX
ing the tempted into one of his back
rooms and putting him in the charge Of
Abram, his black man-of-all-work
Not few wives thanked him private
ly, or sent him nosegays, either for
bringing their husbands home Of
nights or for taking care of them in his
own quarters. Almost everybody often
had some pleasant, kindly word to say
about Gus Rachels, who, a cousin of
Mrs. Enlow, Hannah's mother, had
come to Milledgeville when poor boy,
and now was making comfortable
living in a business which, although
not among those of first-class respecta-
bility, was better, he felt, than some;
and whatever apology was due for fol-
lowing it he made by entirely fair deal
ing, abstaining from meddling in the
affairs of anybody else, and doing such
little kindnesses as his opportunities
allowed.
One who for some years had been re-
ceiving from him charities of one sort
and another was Owen Carruthers, q
young man who, despite the decadence
coming upon irregular habits, was al
ways neat in appearance as well as
strikingly handsome. Property of a
few thousands was rapidly spent on
coming of age just after his fathers
death. He lived with his mother in a
small house on Franklin street, south
of the Capitol square, and had former
ly worked at odd times in the Office Of
his father, who for long time was
clerk of the superior court. Owen
could have been his successor If he had
wished, for he had acquired in the use
of the pen an expertness quite beyond
that of his father. But he chose to in
dulge freedom from the restraints of
homage in other ways. Occasionally,
either to accommodate or to refill his
empty purse he would do little cler-
ical work for merchant or an official
in the statehouse. He was of slight
build, d,darkish-white complexion, black,
glossy, curling hair, which he wore
long. When erect he was nearly six
feet tall, but an attack of rheumatism,
following night of exposure to the
cold air, had bent his left leg SO that
he limped and had to carry walking
stick. He always wore good clothes,
of which he took the utmost care, so
that garment which he had worn
during more than one season some
times looked as if it had been just got
from the clothier. He had an affcc
tionate nature, and therefore. and be-

A Sale Must BE Made Before NlDe
O'Clock on Monday Morning.
A curious custom prevails among the
street peddlers and small storekeepers
of New York that has its origin with
the Russian Hebrews. In Baxter street
the clothing men and In Division
street the milliners insist that sale
must be made before nine o'clock on
Monday morning. No matter what the

SOM r..ce of goods has to be turned
into coin by that hour. Otherwise the
week will prove an unlucky one
This explains why shrewd coreli-
gionists hang around these places on
the fateful morn, says the New York
Herald. They may have had their eye
on pair of trousers, coat or bon
net for weeks, and they patiently
await the chance to secure the covetedo
article at their own figure. If they
see that no business has been done
with uninitiated patrons they jump
inside few moments before nine and
6x the price on what they want to suit

Monday forenoon at about half-past
eight. He offered the proprietor
package of dozen boxes for ten
cents "No," was the reply. "I'll give

til the hands of the clock pointed TO
three minutes of nine. Then he took
the five-cent piece and departed, while
the barber explained. Later met the
peddler on the streeta and asked: "How
much for matches?" Fifteen cents a

me two packages for a quarter?" mo,

cause of his lameness and other In
firmities, he was more pitied in his de-
cline than many another who had gone
down in the same way. Of all persons,
possibly except his mother, Gus
Rachels was the one he loved most.
The latter, compassionate to weak
lings of every sort, was touched
tenderly by the affection of Car
ruthers. Times without number he
had admonished him, and, on inclem-
ent nights, seen that he reached home
in safety. Whenever he could not dis
suade him from going to excess, he let
him have weak dram or two more,
sure that if he did not the poor fell
low, in accord with his threat, would
go elsewhere and do worse. Occa-
sionally he could win him several
weeks from his besetting sin, and in
the interval get him some clerical
work, which he did with nicely of
execution that nobody in town could
equal, On the streets he was always
in gay spirits, and his comments
upon persons and things were listened
to with at least as much attention as
they deserved. One day, while one of
knot of men on the sidewalk of
Wayne street before Rainer's store,
being in loquacious mood, he said:
II don't care how far behind big
town Milledgeville is, it's got as many
good people in it, according to popula-
ton, as any of 'em. Pm not a-speak-
ing of preachers, and leading church
professors, and women. They're all
good, of course, with few exceptions

THE eABY's NAME.

The name that stitched in the cambrio
And bound In each dainty seam,
The long white robe for the christening,
AS pure as an angels DREAM
And the nightdress, drawn with ribbon
And ruifle Of narrow lace,
And the skirt for the first wee wearing,
AL finished and laid In place,
With the thoughts Of the nearing shadows,
Were name and wish most sweet;
The hope for the dreamed-of christening
OF rare pearl Marguerite
In my drawer lie the folded dresses,
And the christening robe unworn,
And the sacques and the soft white blanket,
With never scallop torn.
With perfume Of rose and OF orris,
treasure this sacred store;
For the first little skirt and nightdress
Were oil that my darling wore.
To my lips never rose that sweet title,
So near to my heart ere she came,
But perhaps the dear Christ or my mother
Has given my baby her name.

Toward sunset of that day Mrs.
Wiley Amerson walked out for visit
to Mrs. Plume, whose residence was
but few rods off. Then and there she
first heard of what had been done in
the matter of the will. l.
SIS that so, Mrs. Plume?" she asked,
turning yet more pale.

Mrs. Amerson."
"Why, had no idea that Mr.. Amer
sons father left any will. am sure
that heat least my understanding
was that he had none. He must have
made it only shortly before dying"
'No, they say it dates back to about
the time Mr.. Cullen was married"
'My dear Lord!"
''Why, I'm surprised Mr.. Amerson
never told you about it."
Unable to endure in another's pres
ence the pain in her heart she rose and
returned home.
/ suppose that few things can be
more painful than the shame Detailing
a married woman of honor whose,
native sensibilities have been kept,
strained by poor health and other
worse misfortunes, when she has dis
covered that the husband whom she
has long known to be unworthy of her
is worse than she had been suspecting.
She had come of family whose pride
in its honor, though not boasting of it,
was known to all their acquaintance.
Many time since her marriage had
she let herself lapse into reflections,
never made known to them, as to how
it could have happened that neither
her father nor her brother had made
himself better acquainted with the
antecedents of the man to whom
while in their financial distress they
had permitted her to give herself.
But not until now did she have sus-
picion of the depth to which he could
descend From her front piazza she
could see not far away the walls
around the state penitentiary. Reach
ing home, and stopping to rest upon q
rocking chair on the piazza, her eyes
turned towards this place and looked
upon it for several moments. Turning
away at last, she said to herself
aloud:
Except for the dishonor, l would
rather live there than here"
In the interval before her husbands
return she strengthened herself as we'll
as possible for the work which she felt
had been imposed upon her. Wiley
found her dressed with somewhat
more than habitual care, and slight
coloring was on her cheek. At supper
he remarked that she looked unusually
well.
"I'm we'll enough, Mr.. Amerson;
quite as we'll as deserve or care to be-"
"Why, what's up now?"
It was in his way, which, from inn
punity of habitual use, had grown
more and more dogging. He looked up

from his plate, and, noting the cour-
ageous scorn on her face, shrank some

.''I declare, Julia, l haven't the
slightest idea what ails you"
Rising and resuming the shawl she
had laid aside, she said:
''If you care to know the occasion OF
this present special trouble, Mr.. Amer
son, and if, after you are through with
your supper, you will come into the
piazza, / will tell you"

tress, Betsy?" he asked Of the maid.

PENNYs AND POUNDS.
The Valuable Lesson In Saving Taught by
n Provident Fund Society.

The Valuable Lesson In Saving Taught by
Provident Fund Society
What may come of small economies,
when once they are begun, is shown by
the interesting work of the penny
provident fund. This society, which
has only been in existence about four
years, has received over one hundred
thousand dollars in deposits, and now
has on its books over twenty thousand
dollars, all deposited in sums of from
one to ten cents. The idea of the Or
ganizers was to afford chance for
children and very poor people to lay by
EVEN the smallest sums; and, further
than that, to encourage and urge the
saving. Saving for specific objects is
always encouraged, and this plan
yields good results,
When deposit reaches compare
lively large amount, the owner is ad-
vised to open regular savings-banls
account There is no rivalry between
the fund and the savings bank; indeed,
some savings banks have established
in their offices stations for selling the
stamps which the fund furnishes, in
denominations from one to ten cents,
TO be affixed to the cards and serve as
vouchers for the deposits.
On the other hand, the bitterest ene-
mics of the fund have been keepers of
small candy shops, who have even sent
agents to schools where the cards are
given out, in order to persuade the
children that they would lose their
money If they intrusted it to the fund.
This general plan is 80 excellent and
SO greatly deserves permanent success
that 1t is pleasant to add that it is
self-supporting and rapidly extending
Its operations.
