To explain, we would say, it is easy to make a present when it fl. costs nothing. We simply save to r*i those who ."purchase through our ummJorders, the agent's profit, which every one knows must be large.

Stephens at Home. ^ CR AWFORO VILLE, Ga., Nov. 5,1873. Dear Advertiser .--This village, situa ted on the Georgia Railroad, 64 miles from Augusta, and 107 from Atlanta, contains about 600 inhabitants It is a quiet little hamlet, distinguished for th? morality and hospitality of its citizens Aspiring to but little in the way of en terprise, it claims that tho fortune Of being the cradle, nursery and home of the great and good Stephens, is suth cien t honor ror any one place ; that alone being ample to hand down its name to pos terity, and render it immortal in ? na tion's history; On the North side of the Railroad, nearly two hundred yards from it. aud situated upon a slight eminence, which gradually slopes to the road, is "Liberty Hall," an exact representation of which Is given in the frontis, piece of '.' The War Between Tho,States." . . ...... The lawn fronting the house is various ly intersp?rsed with oak, cedar, locust, and other trees and shrubbery. Puring summer monthsitis coVc coat of grass. This, to he 1 foliage of the trees and >..?' ? gives Liberty Hall a v . ? and inviting appearanc . in ?r: East corner of tholawj distChifroh. the grnruw building having been . ? . Church by Mn Stephe < Mr. Stephens is.quit ligious views, for wh.;-. himself, he contributes llberully to ovi.. r . denominations, having recently sub scribed $500 for LUo building of a Catho lic College in this County. The " Hall" is a very modest and un assuming structure, and its generous host is equally so in his entertainment. He is always " at home" to his acquain tances, and extends to them such a hear ty welcome that One cannot leave his house without wishing his stay could bo prolonged, and a promise within himself to call again. Ho greets all alike, and never fail* to produce the impression that yon are thrico welcome at " Liberty Hall." Your correspondent had tiie pleasure of visiting tins distinguished gentleman a few evenings since. Arriving at the door of the South entrance, we were con ducted through a hall passing through the main portion of the house, and cross-; lug a back passage, entered the chamber through the library FOO m. The Hall library contains about 3000 volumes of choice books, many of them presented by their authors. Besides this library, Mr. Stephens has a large collection of valuable law books in Atlanta. Tho chamber is a small, comfortable room, neatly furnished, and coverod .wi th ap ordinary woolen carpet, somewhat worn. On the right, as you enter, is an old fashioned mahogany bureau, tim fop of which resembios a miniature dr-ug store, it being literally covered with bottlesi vials and boxes, containing drugs, tonics and medicines, necessary to keep up tho lifo of the invalid Statesman. Upon the left, and near the fire-place, is a plain round pine table, upon which Mr. Steph ens has done his writing for years. Piles of old manuscripts, letters and papers of almost every kind and date wero beappd upon it until there was scarcely ari woc cupied square inch of surface left. ? A mahogany bed stead, a wash stand, lounge, two book-cases, a card table and clock, an invalids chair, and a half-dozen, or more of others with split bottoms, and the principal articles of furniture in this apartment are enumerated. A cheerful coal fire was blazing In'the grate, and all the surroundings, wore an air of plain, solid comfort The " Hero," with three other gentlemen, was engaged in a social game of " Whist," and, paus ing as we entered, to welcome us to a seat near the fire, he continued the game with unabatlng interest. He is exceedingly fond of this game, and is highly profi cient in the art of playing it. We no ticed that he manifested deep interest in tho play, and when his partner would make an unwise play, he would never fail to reprimand him gently for the in discretion. He smoked during the' wboje time of playing, and had ftls m^orsphWRi refilled several times, At the conclu? sion of the game, he. called for the read ing of Andy Johnson's late speech at Washington, and did not hositate- to oritcise its simplicity, and expressed great surprise and disappointment at that gentleman offering no defense to rebut the recent grave charges made, against him.' i J After this ' Lr little party engaged in general conversation,' In 'which ;Mrl Stephens took an active part.? He told ns a little incident of how he " saved his wine" during the war. It was a"bout the time of Sherman's raid through .Georgia that, the,-'YHpro" -felt a little apprehen sive that some old wine and other choice drinkables might s?rve1 to quench tho thirst of some Yankee Bacchus, arid so set about to devise some means of put ting it beyond their reach, when joist at ? this critical moment there happened in a friend of Teutonic persauston, Who soon relieved him of all anxiety on that score. i A oertaifi Mr. T- in Lbo town cf C--, * VT . ti t?s .viii ; j ! ??.% ' not overly I oyal'to the Confederate Gov ernment, bat strong m'iaS^?ty to its be loved VI ce-Presiden^. jhj K?ug'.a cave under the r?ar end't &'.iiis' hous?, to hide a Mend''from^t g painfar in terviews of conscripting < mcers ; and so artfully were the entram ?s to this sub terran?an cavern pav?din1 nat the gravest suspicions bf the ' most *;vig?r?ht and searching officials were j&erted.'

If it does,not totally rum tbis:whole class, it will give them a lesson that wili prove of great benefit to the whole coun try in the future. It seems that no amount of ren'soning or logic will do any good in this ' metter. The farmers still persist in the suicidal ?olicy of making large crops of cotton, ear after year the same error has been repeated, and the truth must at last force itself upon the mind of I every, reflecting person that the idea of growing rich on King Cotton is fanciful and delusive,,, li??t spring, when the crop was pitched and[ the whole country1 "smelt rank to heaven," we predicted the refult which has bjen realized.

He has gone to tho realm where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest, leaving behind a rich' legacy for his children, in the memory of good deeds, ! gentle thoughts, a pure life filled with'f active da ties, and in' the fragrance of an ? exquisite example of virtue, piety, tender-'[ ness and affection. Dr. LaBorde was of French descent, his | father having emigrated to this country i from Bordeaux, in France. He wus born '' in the village of Edgefield, in this State, on the 5th of June, 1804. He was pre Jared for college at the academy of Mr. . C. Caldwell, afterwards Chancellor, and entered it in 1819. He was graduated in 1821, and returning to Edgefield, read law there, for two years, in the office "of Mc ^Duffie & Simkins. Being too young for admission to the bar, he was induced to torn his thoughts to the medical profes sion. He entered the Medical College of Charleston in 1824, ?nd was a member of the first class which 'went forth as gradu ates in 1826;. For several years he prac ticed medicine.in his native village and 'district. We recollect a meeting of the State Medical Society, in this place, a few years ago, to which Dr. LaBorde was in vited as an honorary member. His ad dress on that occasion; abounding in re miniscences of the early days of the Med ical College, and of the medical fraternity in the State, with an account of the prac tice then in vogue in thc country, was one ?'f the'most agreeable and amusing fea-' . ur?s of the evening. " ' * ' 1 j Apart from his regular professional em ployments, Dr. LaBorde ; has beert a busy nian,;'both in church and'State. For.many ?years, he was a regent of the State Luna tic Asylum, and a i long time chairman of ?thcvboard. lathis position, he-was an Jenjightened and humane adviser. . His.re ports of the condition of the institution, ?meraorials to the Legislature, addresses, '?c., were all conceiv?a in an earnest spirit, snd were, at the same time,' eminently practical. During the civil war, his zeal was conspicuous for the interests and com fort of the soldiers. He was chairman of .the "Central Association," of Columbia, which, received from all parts of the State ^supplies, clothing, hats, shoes, &c, and forwarded them to the armies, and distri buted them to the soldiers in the field. To ?carry on this business successfully, to se cure and regulate the safe transmission of, at times, several carloads a week, reouir ed uncommon energy and unflagging in ?dustry. Dr. LaBorde's resources of prac tical management, of deep interest in the work, proved equal to the demands of the. occasion. The Central Association be came an institution which worked bene ficentlv in reh'eving suffering and distress, . ; ' . ? .. ..?'.... *- th. .'served as a member of the iJoara oi ivua- [ '. ?tees of the South. Carolina, College for- * .some time. Finally, in December, 1842, c he ?yyas elected Professor of Logic and ] Belles Lettres, and became fixed in the ' position for life. From that day to within ; a month .past, amid many changes in the 1 organization of the College itself, and in 1 the (hairs of instruction, he has continued * to fill one of these, the duties appertain ingito it having several times undergone * modifications while in his hands. ? As a professor, Dr. LaBorde was" dili gent, punctual, studiouaand conscientious. He was faithful to the important trusts <? which he assumed He taught no less forcibly by example than by precept. He sought to make his department of instruc tion'honored and respected, bringing into his prelections the researches of master ? minds, to enrich, en'ario and enforce his \ own independently formed conclusions. ! In discipline, he steered discree:ly between the extremes of too gn at rigor, on the ooe hand, and too largj indulgence on the other. -While, therefore, he waa diligent hiuis?lf, and exacting of diligence and ap plication from the young men, ho concilia- ' ted their regard, and showing himself to be their friend, scoured an unusual meas- ' ure of their personal esteem and friend- t ship in return. In the society of his col leagues, he was everything that could l.e , desired. He was genial, cordial and frank in a lehmkible degree. Wh?n seri ous bi.sine.sd, in which he alwirya took \ earnest interest, wa^over, nonel ette: than h; knew how to unbend the bow. His natural gaiety of spirit constantly over- 3 flowed with sparkling reparteo and appo- j site anet (Jote. Besides contributions to current and periodical literature, in . the press of Columbia, the Courant, a weekly ' issued here by H. H. Caldwell, Russell's 1 Magazine and the Southern' Quarterly ' Revino, Dr. LaBorde has produced and 1 published thc following works: 1. Intro duction to Physiology, a text- book pre- . pared in 1855 and used in his classes-the j duty of instruction in this branch being at , that time devolved upon him. 2.

Inhia History '.of the College, Dr. La Borde was engaged in a work of love, the . labor upon which, though sometimes sad, ' was grateful and engaging. ' It includes 1 Bketches-biographical, literary and erjti- ? cal-of'the Presidents, .and Professors of the College, involving a running history 1 of the institution- itself. It is a very in- | teresting volume; 1 The- pen jportraits of Maxoy, dooper, Nott, Park, CEllett, Barn ( well; Preston .. Henry, Thnrnwell, Lieber and others, .are:, lifelike.-. They are given with rich colorings but. the lineaments a ^ true to nature and .to truth. It will bc ' the grateful office of some one with a spirit I as loving.and. appreciafive.as that Dr. L?- ( Borde has himself exhibited ifi'this agree able work, to add ah account'?f his ' own' | literary: life and labors, to be added to the j collection.
