Joe had reasoned correctly, if whipping paid the penalty, and ho was ready to take it, it Canceled all obliga tion.

A Bkai'tifcl Extract,?When the summer of youth k slowly wasting away on the nightfall of age, and the shadow of the past becomes deeper and deeper, and life wears to its close, it is pleasant to look through the vWta of time upon the sorrows and felicities of onr earliest years. If we have a home to shelter, and heart* to rejoite with us, and friends have gathered together around our firesides, then the rough places of wayfaring will have been warmed and smoothed away in the twilight of life, while the many spots we huve passed through, will grow brighter end more beautiful. Uappy, indeed, are they whose intercourse with the world hu hot changed the tone of their hollow feeling, or broken those musical chord* of the heart, whose vibrations are so melodious, no tender ami so touching in the evening of life.

From the Southern Home Journal,' The Old Widows Venison Hams. 'f Now, John, (ell us about that fine venison ham that you and' the party lliut were with you ate, down in Coffoo county, last fail two years ago." < Such was the request of oue of a Oarty of young men who were seAied around a camp Are upon the bank of a crpek not a hundred miles from this place, whither tbey had gouo on a " fibbing frolic." " Boj>, it ain't worth while; you' hare all heard it, aod had your laugh j over it several times.'' " well, John, we would all like to hear it agnin, and you yyursclf cannot blame us for laughing." ' I reckon I'll have to (ell it, then; so put on rour listeners. And be quiet." " All of you who have ever been down in that part of the country, where we used to go deer hunting, will recollect the old widow iliggina. She was M very fine old lady, and waa very kind to us boys whenever we came. The old lady would send a nigger down every day or two, either to invite us to come up and take dinner with Iter, or to -bring us down a couple of nice chickens or. a quarter of fresdt ah oat. We repaid there acta of kindness of the old lady's in tobacco and whisky; the first to alleviate the pair.s of 44 tooth-ache," which the old lady said was sure to cotne on her if she did not always keep r little tobacco in her mouth, and the buter, in cases of 44 sickness," which 1 think held on as long as the whisky lasted. We also invariably lefl the old Ittdy :hr<)3 or four nice veniaom hams, of which she was always very proud. Well, the lime before the last that wo were down there, game was very scarce, ami we lived pretty much off from lire contents of the old lady's smoke house. We had been there iwo weeks, and were getting #eady to start home; had no venison, no whisky, no tobacco, nor no nothing to give the old lady. Now, do any of you recollect that Urge, lazy old hound I used to have? If you do, you will know that he always managed to VHt all ther? wua tn ??t u?<l 1-i.r.r i very fat, (an unlucky circumstance for him thai time.) Well, one of the boy* proposed to kill him' and give her the hntns; and as the proposition suited all of us, a load of heavy short terminated old Buck's career. The old lady praised the hatns very much; said they were 1 the finest and fattest venuoq hums she had .ever seen.' We went hack down there in the fall, and laughed more than once on the road, at the trick we played on the old I lady, the season before. It was late in the evening when wo arrived, and we were very lired--not feeling at all like I cooking a supper. We were about doing so, notwithstanding our fatigue, for all of ua were very hungry, when an invitation came from Mrs. Iliggins to sr.p yritla her. You well know that it was accepted. Oh, what a aupjrer for hungry men. One of the finest veni son iutniM llmt you ever brief eye? on. All ate of anil praised it, and 1, having more curiosity than the rest, asked : " Mrs. Jliggins, where did this nice venison c?>ine from ?" 44 La. me, it's one of those you gentlemen left me the last time you were here !" " Hoys, you'll have to manage the rest, for 1 must go and see what that is nibbling nt that large cat hook I set out yonder." Bio Twiuonr Thought*.? One leas to meet me?

Giklr, Don't Do It.?There is a practice, quite prevalent among young ladies of the present day, which we are old fashioned enough to consider very improper.

We are astonished that any young girl should hold herself so cheap as this. With an accepted Kn or it Id nf PAHoil ?-inrKft V in this case, the likeness should be re turned, if the engagement should, by sny misundeisiauding, cease. If dm little paragraph should meet the eye of any young girl about to give her daguerreotype to a gentleman Acquaintance, let her know that tbe remark* made by young men when together, concerning what is perhaps, on her part, but a piece of ignomnoe or impudence, would, if ?he heard them, cause her cheeks to crimson with shame and anger.
