On the stefp bant of a river that has nure naniw tiaj ,one4 arid hot a hnndftd leagues frrjm the State capital, there w what i known in our vernacular as a " country tore." In hijrh water the red ripples ptaj anWnd its underpiiimng and in tunen of drought the coating of mud left there by the tyring floods cracks into queer-shaped squareB, and jagfred .circles. This store kept by a rent man ; a shaven "upper lip, a chin beard and a florid complexion mark him as a ppecinien qf the natives. His a)i ior called ; general merchandise, a name quite broad enough to .include moisfe as well as dry goixLs.' He sells for cash only .or .on approved security, and his goods never leave his store without a sufficient gage. -i , What a stranger who was jiassing jthrough the country and MoppedJo rest.hiitself and liis tired horse saw and' heard, is .j-hat we wish to tell. Vf - .' "' ' . Ile'was seated in .the porch .hi front of the store talking -to this merchant prince' of the riei;hborhoxl. Their ed back and rested against the railing of th '.porch They had exhausted politics it ics and and airreed that the weather was hot ' favorable" to crops of all sorts. - , Just as the merchant bit oflF.a frcshjjhaw of tobacco and put the twist ba,ck into his breeches pocket, two men emerged' from the woods and walked to the store door: Neith er had oh a coat. lioth were barefoot. One carried a rifle on his shoulder, the oth er toted a small cat squirrel that they had killed. 1 They jerked their heads in a famil; iar manner, rather than bowed to the store- keeper.-' . ' GotKl morning, gentlemen,'' said he. y' ' "rMorniiig,".' said they,. together .' ' They staretf not nidelyi at the stranger, and -siit down on die bench that was at the end of the porph'ijlposite himr f 'All your folks well, Squire?" asked the man with the squirrel jof the merchant. (Of course he was, ia. Squire ; being a Squire expedites' the collection "of debts' and gives an awful solemnity and power to contracts.) ' t's mighty nigh the hottest day we have had this year," said the man who' had laid his rifle across his knees. - : i 'Well, reether," said thb" merchant iniin absent tone. . ', ' ' '.- :' '"Trade go6d, Squire ?"; .squeaked out' the -cat squirrel man. , ' ! , ''Am t been no customers here jto-day, he growled. ' , . t ' - A silence, as solemn.as tliat which" falls upon a crowd of hilarious young bucks when a solemn looking tract agent comes upon them with a subscription paper, reign ed for a few minutes. JS&e quartette sat and chewed and spat. Nothing w;is heard but;the lapping of the waters against the willow bank and the croaking of a rain crow hid in the tree that stood in the edge of the woods, r ' V; After a fev 1 minutes, low voices Were heard in the rear of the" store, and present--ly two men. rounded the-eorner and stood before the musing four. One of the new comers was very fat. Tie was very red from The- exertiom of pulling 300 ' lbs. of 'human nature up the hill, and he fanned ' himself ay he stopped with a broad, band-. less straw hat. . lie wore a heavy, reddish moustache that gave him. a fierce, bull dogJ expression, and the most innocent young preacher irt his-first pastorate- would -never have mistaken him for the (r.' W, C. T. of a "dry 7 community. JI is shirt collar was open, very open, and he simply said as he noMded at the party, '-hot !" :" . : ";.' " Have a.seat ? .' said the Squire. '. Believe I will," he said, "as.he took the Squire's ' chair, who went back into the store room to fetch another. - -"-. " , His companion was a small freckle-facexl, weavil-eatenj-washed-out looking man wAh red hair, no sign of a'beUrd, with big hands, with little islands of perspiration standing about oUjtheiu.' He carried fhe poles and had on a" livej oak withe one poor little mud -cat. Nobody, asked him to have a seat, but he gravitated' over to the cat-squirrel man, 'took a fseat by him. on the bench:, looked at him arid grinned. 'Good fishing-about here ?" asked the stranger. . h ; I - J ; : - Nothing like4" it was before the war,'.' saidkhe corpulent hot man. (He had been an overseer and7, dated everything from the warfV?!rve caught cats sis .biac' as dogs down at the f Ferry Hole,' " - " : , . The strangfer looked surprisedthe hunts , mehr looked incredulous, the merchant didn't look at all, and the little man gave a grin of satisfaction over, his inward joy of not having to lug'such cats. i : The man jwiththe rifle said that all the. squirrels seejmed to be cats since; the 'last fresh." Same thing with the fish said the gruiu old 300 pounder, and thereupon all relapsed info a state of profound meditation on the subject of cats i V ? Among men of real genius there i a free-maspnry in finding out each thlr's thoughts that is only equalled by the intu itioh that leads a man who wants a drink to divine a similar disposition in men who . are addicted to and ' tond of the "juice of the grains." ;" .' V Without looking tip, thet man who was now deeply absorbed in toying with the long, graceful tail of the lead souirrel, said in a Voice fujl of emotion, and that would have stirred the breast of a stoic : ,- ' V 4T w-pjh somebody would treat to a level quart." ' ,.; ' . - ' .. - Nobody reonded, nobody moved a mus cle -not even a nerve quivered. . They ijtood it like men- who did .not intend to; treat but who; languished to be treated., It is due to the strict veracity of this story to state circumstantially that the store keeper didn't stir.' ' He' wasn't that sort of a person. His breast may have stirred for no man knows what ii in a man's breast at such times,! but it is a matter of fact that no other, portion, of his body did. The shuffling of his feet, would have been a grateful sound to these thirsty toilers. ; ' "Let's piteh for it," said the taury-head-ed imn, as ha laid down his cat in the sun. vanished around the corner of the store and returned fwith Xouy horse shoes that had been cast by the .lfiginal wearers but . i '-' t 11 v i w 1 i ' I j 1 .in. y 0 ' i a r 1 t , 11 :w ! were; kept bright as a trade dollar by con Btantj use in 'a game called " Quoitu "; or Quates, as these mmple citiaens call it, much in fashion in that ; section of the country.

' The merchant followed him, and they remained there irt deep com munion tor a long while. 1 he thought it all very i curious. 'The three gamesters turned restlessly in their seats and made uneasy jokes about their absent friends. At last he returned with an aged and: battered quart ot level' full. He didn't bring the rifle back with him,. The merchant sauntered out and resumed his seat. The1 man with the quart jpot handed it, id fhe stranger, who courteously declin ed.:; He then took a long, strong pull at it hmitseLf, smacked his lips in attestation of its good qualities, and passed it) to the cat. quirrel .man, who passed it to the; fat man, who passed it to the little man who was giving grins of enormons stzeiand easy of interpretation. He handed it to the mer thdiit, who rather than discredit his own liquor,- took a sturdy wig at it.

The man who; treated had thj: last pull at it, arid he saw the ; bronzed bottom very plainly before he took the niesisure down. , In the short1 spaces elapsed. between these rounds various little i scrdp4 of domestic history had been related. Tble man with the cat squirrel had j lately lost his wife, but his j sister was taking care - of jhis children, and she was ,a monstrous managing woman, but she and the children had been ailing, .and not much able to Chop . cotton this season. ; The little man had latljly been married to a girl very much his sufjerior in stature as in all other .respects, and he was severely: twitted about a report, in jthe neighborhood- that she had spanked hita for not being iasi industrious i as the average man is expected by j exacting wo men to be. - j .

The wheat was awful j thin and had . the rust, j Oats hadn't turned out; what was expected. Somehow or other the. stiuid of cotton was bad, and what there wjis. of it wasverrun with grass. The co'rn was yellow and twisted arid wasn't going to turn out anything and the tobacco plants had' been nearly all eaten up by the flies. These were some of the ailments of. the crops, and the merchant, Who it was said in the neighborhood had mortgages on their little farms and crops, encouraged the depressing conversation by quiet questions. At last the fat bachelor asked, after an oininous pause, "What in the h 1 was the niatter with the country, anyhow ?" ! ill The Uttle man grinned, as much as to 8;iy that he knew, but his wife had warned him against telling, and he had no idea of disobeying her. Receiving no other re sponse he was forced. to answer his own question. Said he, slapping his fat leg wjlth his chubby hand to give emphasis to and to applaud his ' own wisdom, "What the country . needs' is more? money, more nioriey." ' The assent to : this great need, was unanimous; and continued he, "more'n that, this country ain't never going to git right until the d n niggers go to work." :lf About this no one of the. party except the stranger, entertained a shadow of doubt, tind they made bold so to express them selves.
