Some years since, professional business threw mo into the emnrmnv. for a lont' tlav's ~ I J 7 O " V ride through a dreary pine-woods country in an eastern county, with Mr. Stubbs, its Sheriff. By the middle of the afternoon we had exhausted, as subjects of conversation, the particular attachment case which brought us together, the political condition of the country, the prospects of the growing crop, and several matters of personal history. In fact, we had run out?to use a trite but expressive metaphor?when suddenly Mr. Stuhbs' eye? flashed, and a strange smile flitted across his lips, as he remarked? "I haven't told you, 'Sjuire, I believe how I got ruinated sarvin' the first pro"?.* (the sheriff was not a learned man, and occasionally did misplace the accent) that ever come into my hands.'' "No, let's have it," I replied, turning half round in the saddle; "it cost you some money, did it?your mistake''" "Ah," ho ejaculated with a sigh, "it costa heap?a heap !" This was said with an air of much .suffering, and I told him if it awakened painful emotions, he must not think of opening the old wound, merely for my entertainment. "It's all over now," he said, "and I don't mind tellin it." I don't know how it was. hut just at this moment I caught sight of a shabby fbld of crape around his hat. and I could not help associating it with the sigh, the lugubrious expression and the "sarvin' of the fir.-t pro**'Anent that, we shall discover something presently. Mr. Stuhbs proceeded : I was 'lected the first sheriff of the county; and at that time there weren't more than three or four hundred voters in it. To be sure 1 was right proud?it was sieh an honor,like." "This is your second term, then." "Yes, I had to miss one term of sarviee, ou account of the law : hut then I was debty under Stokes, and when his time run out, last August was two years ago f was elected again. But that ain't tellin' how I gut ruinated by that writ. N'ow its reasonable to suppose, that the firt-t vf a thins ain't so easy to know a* the middle or the last. So when the lawyer down at town made out the first paper and put it in my hands, I was just as bad 'oplussod as ever you seed." "What sort of a writ was it ?" "Xothin' but the common sort, (ra ml res.;) I know "em now, like a book. Kf L had only kuowed 'em fhni"?here another deep drawn sigh supplied the place of words. "I took the plaguy t iing home, and T called in Bill Stokes (which was sheriff hisself, after that) and old 'Squire Lumpkin to counsel me on it. We read it over three or four times. It ordered me to take the body of If in to ill ]Y-<tfroo!:, ef to be found in my county, and her safely tu /vrp, so that I should have ner to answer oeiore me juugc ai iuc i next circuit court for a debt she owed j and j more'u that, it said 1 was to do it without do- i lav?and it t/t> u nii/h on to jice months tdl \ Court! ^Yhut was I to do with her all that timr, and no sign of a jail in the county !" ell, it was a hard looking ease; but that was siuiply a form, and the writ might have been served by leaving a copy with the lady, j "Oh. I know that mighty well note, but I didn't know it tlo n. Besides, at the bottom of the paper was writ "No Mai/," and I know now that them words mean no bail required} but I thought then if she was to offer the best security in the State, I waru't to take it. And it was the consideration that Stokes and Lumpkin both put upon it; and the old 'Squire wont so for as to say ef he was sheriff", he'd take that woman and carry her home, and lock' her up in the same room with hisself and his wife, every night of his life, ontell court came round. "That would have made it pretty safe." 'Yes," said Stubbs; "but I kitowed that wouldn't suit me, for my wife ^that was then) was high-teiupercd, and never could bear strange people in the room. But, however, after counseling I got Stokes to go with me, and 1 weut up to the widow and told her my bUineas. She was mighty bad scared at first, but when she got over that, she r'ared and pitched, I should jist agin out and gone home and resigned, but Stokes quieted her by say. iu', we could put her in jail, but ef she behaved herself we'd only take her dov*n to my house and let her stay till court. Then she turned in to cryin' and beggin' me to take her negro woman aud keep her for security for the debt, which it was only southing over a hundred dollars, aud the nigger was likely. But 1 looked iu my paper, and read it out to her? ' TO TAKE THE BODY OF HANNAH "WESTBROOK ! 1" "SL\e said she'd go, and she had her old roan saddled up, and while Stokes and me was a talkin' and not noticin', she mounted him and started off in a lively canter on the Georgia end of the trail. We mounted and galloped after her, and she hadn't got half a mile before we had her. Then she cried and begged again, but we put a plow line around her waist, and held the end, and after lcttin' her give some directions to the nigger, we took her down to my house. My wife treated her mighty civil, and every day we'd let her go up home and look after her consarns. Some time rolled on tell a month before court, and one day Stokes rid up to the gate in a powerful hurry, and called me out." ??You have played thunder," said he. "How ?" says I. ' Why ta&o' of Miss Weetbrooks. It's all sfee'D beut wort dcrwa to tfco vwy lawyer that put out that writ against her, and j she's got two against you; one to make you turn her loose and 'tothor to make you pay j twenty thousand dollars for takin her "I shan't serve 'em," says I. "Makes no odds. They've done appointed a kurriner ^coroner.) and he'll he up to morrow, soon ys Miss Westbrooks has had time to : swear to something You'd better look out ?" | "Well," said I, "I reckon they've got you too. You was along, and hope to do it." "Oh, yes," says he, "but thcyce got me for ! a witness .'" "I said no more, but walked right into the house, and thar I found the widder lookin' mighty pleased, and told her she was free to . go, and I asked her pardon and shouldn't charge her any board, and I hoped she'd come { and see my old woman, and so on, and so j forth. "She went, I suppose." "She did, and the kurriner come; and he I showed me how to serve a writ by copy. 1 shall never forget it. She took me iuto court and there warn't nothing done with it the first | time. Before the next court my old woman ! died, and that vp*pun/nl everything. What | with her dyin' and the suit, I thought T would ! go crazy, to be sure." "But you didn't ?" "No, I bore it as well as I could, and just j before court comes along the lawyer?Jenkins ?and says he to me, <1 think you and my client, Miss West brooks, could compromise the I case, ef you was to talk about it. T hardly waited for him to leave, before T jumped on i my horse and rode up to the widder. Widder. says T, kin we settle that ease?" "She sorter laughed and said nun/ be." "I'll give you a hundred dollars to drop it," says I. "She frowned mightily, and -aid that wasn't the way she wanted to settle it." "I'll give you tn-o said T." "She frowned worse than bethrc, and said that warn't the vm/ she wanted to settle it." 1 "Directly somethin' come right into my mind. I seemed to see plain. I studied and considered.

The frillftwinc from Lite Illustrated." a weekly paper published in Xcw York by Fuwi lers & Wells, *hould commend itself' to the common sense of'every man interested in the prosperity of his own town and county. A home paper, however nuairre in fond en and i jreneral intelligence, is a necessity. with whit h ] no town or county can dispense. Hut r?*ad : We occasionally receive letter* in which the writers express an intention t?? sr. p their county or villasre paper, and take one "four j publications instead.

What an unhappy, miserable, or wicked wretch is he who. by the licndi>h whisper of calumny, makes still more wretched one who. if really guilty, is sufficiently puni.-luM by his couscience or the laws of man?and if innocent, creating in him an indignant grief which ! cannot be described. What punishment ought 'a villifier of another's character receive??; When will it be considered as disgraceful to listeu to slander as to retail it. Not until the morbid spirit of curiosity, and a proneness to do a little bit of scandal ourselves somctilfics, is quenched, crushed, rooted up and out, and replaced by the kindly spirit of charity and truth. And, alas for human nature! there are some who seem to delight in torturing the i victim of vile tongues, by repeating to tlicin , what they were in blissful ignorance of till the friend (?) enlightens them. And again, j (thank Heaven for the redeeming few.) there are those who, Godlike in their actions, screen those whom they love and the stranger alike, i from the knowledge of which, if known, | would only bring mischief and misery, with no redress; for, as it is the blackest of crimes, it is the last and least accounted for by any but the God above us. [ Next to the calumniator, stands he who ' would needlessly grieve a heart which was be- J fore unconscious of aught but good from its associates. j When there are no listeners to scandal, ! then, and not till then will the miserable prac-1 tice abate. How much of what we hear con- 1 cerning the demerits of another, is true ?? Not the one-hundredth part. One person speaks slightly of another from ; vanity?they wish to be thought better than : any one else. Another from envy; a degra- ' ding vice, which brings as much unhappiness ! to its possessors as to those whom it injures. And so to the end we will find detraction is but a consequence of anger, hate revenge, and a love of hearing oneself talk, or obtaining I the possession of a person whom we wish to listen to us, and who will do so for the sake of j hearing that such and such a persou is to be j lowered in their eyes or those of society. *So much the better,' cries the man who flatters himselt that he is above suspicion. "I will seem the purer by the contrast." "So much the better," cries he who has fallen himself "he is on a level with me." I grieve to say that mankind, (and oh, shame to what should j be the redeeming portion of creation !) womaukind, too generally speaking, often rejoice over the fall of another, whether merited or , not. That slander is propagated by bad 1 tongues alone, is proven thus: if a person committed ever so much sin, a charitable nature would shield them, a prudent tongue spare them, a good heart encourage them to a better future. How can any sensible person be the dupe of a talc-bcarer, when it is pluiu as the day they have some object in repeating or bringing to light the faults and follies of another. They do not say it for good. It Qjusfc then be for evil. Scandal propagated by ? wcqp, it diaguftfig by a man, it shows him to be destitute of ho- ai nor, self-respect and manliness. f( Blacker than murder, baser than arson, li worse than forgery or counterfeiting, more con- r< temptible than theft, meaner that petty larce- ci ny, is the vile crime of detraction. "My dear n madam," said a lovely friend of mine, the si other day, to an acquaintance who had just k dropped in to retail the news and gossij) of the b i day, (as scandal is politely termed.) "My I d ; dear madam, if it will be at all unpleasant to ' ir hear what you say you have to tell me, I c; would rather not listen to it." There was more tl real sensibility of soul contained in that little ai sentence than in many of the fine speeches of c< our great orators; and as she spoke, (Heaven d< bless her sweet face,) there beamed from her w ' % eyes, such a holy rhan't// that my soul invol- ft untarily bowed itself to do homage to hers.? p 1 Pity that such exceptions should be so rare; t;1 but, when found, prove as precious and price- b less as a oasis in the desert to a parched and el weary traveller,?"a sail!" to a shipwrecked v; mariner,?or a prayer from the pure lips of ai innocent childhood !??\'. 0.

W'e will not sav that our ' . M forefathers did wrong at a time when the area t| under tillage was comparatively small, fencing ^ timber abundant, and a wide common range -|t for hogs, neat cattle, and other domestic animais, was very desirable in a new country. In. 1M tier such circunistanees, they might wisely and j properly dispense with the ancient eotumon law principle that a man's premises are not to ^ be invaded by another man, nor hv another j man's stock, a> a belonging to the ' latter, fence <ir no fence. A moment's reflecturn will satisfy anv one that to cive one man's cattle the privilege to graze upon ami occupy j another man's lam!, i.? an invasion of the (,j rights of property only to he justified by the clear attainment of a higher cod.

An intelligent. thoughtful gentleman, who has called our attention to this matter. j? says that all the hoys kept in several comities ;t in middle Georgia, sol?l at a fair price, would :,| not pay for the fences made and supported j< mainly to keep them out of growing < ro; s. tP Such as have woods which mast lbr hours, or J" canebreak for laryer stock, or other forayc a- sl; bounds, can afford to fence in their wood laud, 0J ami thus enjoy the exclusive benefit of their jr property. In the District of Columbia ho<r? ! h;i are not free-commoners, but cattle are; and C(l by keeping up hoys and only fencing against wj neat cattle, the expense of fencing is reduced i tj, about one half. Jn time, the community will ! see the folly of fencing against cattle ; for rails j are now worth there from sixty to seventy dol- j ca lars a thousand. : .sh In a purely economical puiut of view, we ! aD are opposed to allowing live stock to run at j \ large without a shepherd or herdsman, to bring j f0 the animals home to be yarded or folded, and ; cu thereby enrich the home farm or plantations all by their manure. Under the daily care of a i lit keeper stock may range for miles without dep- j _ redating on any cultivated crops, and enrich 1 their owner and the .State by their products, j In this way they will enrich arable fields by J their dropping at night, and trespass on no mail's right of property. They will promote civilization and augment wealth, instead of retarding the one and damaging the other. Stock-Husbandry is regarded by us with no inconsiderable favor when right managed.? The Greater of the animal kingdom called into existence "the beast of the field" for a wise and useful purpose. Tlicy sustain natural re ? ?? ~..i +1,^ lations to plants, wnicu uu cuimvuw* . soil should fail to study and understand.? ! Our present system of fencing against live stock ; or turning them out to shirk for themselves, j and too often steal their living or starve, is bad every way; and belongs, legitimately, to the dark ages of semi-savage life. It virtually excludes them from plautation economy, and makes them enemies and trespassers where j they ought to be friends and profitable occu- j pants. Under a wise system of rural economy, j cultivated plants and cultivated animals bar- i monize admirably, as do the vegetable and animal kingdoms everywhere; but let our stock be fenced in, rather than our corn and cotton. These and other crops will never travel off their owner's land to injure others. As much cannot be said of hogs shccps, cattle and horses. Why should not the owner of these be bound take care that they do not damage beyond their legitimate range ? Why protect by law an hundred dollars worth of property in hogs at a cost of one thousand, dol- y0] Jars worth of fence in the precint or district? TH Such practice is based neither on Tight, nor on ^ cfliwwum lea tboamd doilaca ia gnia 3t? ' nd cotton should not he jeoparded, if not! need, that one thousand dollars in stock may ve very much as wild beasts subsist. We ispcctfully urge the principle that, after a ; oinmunity has made considerable advaucelent. in civilization, and wisely desires to make ill farther progress, this colonial system of coping stock should be discontinued simply ccausu it. has ceased to he adapted to the con- i ition, and to the wants of society. The gar- ! icnts that fit and become a child in infancy : innot be worn after it is an adult. It is time \ le planters of Georgia put off their pin a fores, j nd prepare themselves to do at once and sucjssfully whatever their present circumstances emnnd, regardless of prejudices and traditions hich had their origin under an entirely dit- went state of things. Relieve the great lanting interest of Georgia of the opprersivo ix of fencing drops, and the latter will soon e doubled in value, for the almost eijual beniit of the whole population of flic State. The aried fruits of tillage food all and clothe all j nd all should unite to render Tillage producve in the highest degree.
