Joe was ti)i*fcii|g sfter recess, mining at 1

would ralber take two such whippings
every day and go in- swimming, than
to have to stay in that hot school house
all day and hear ofd Moggs scold and
not have any whipping or swimming
either, so you may go ahead with your
whipping, and he'll go ahead with' his
swimming."
Joe had reasoned correctly, if whipping
paid the penalty, and ho was
ready to take it, it Canceled all obliga
tion.
No punishment, as punishmehf can
atone for wrong done, and unless severe
enough to prevent its recurrence, it be
conies simply vindictive.
Mrs. Head felt sorely troubled.'?
What should she do next? What
would she have a^ked'.df her owrt dear
mother, now gone to the homo of (.be
bi???i ? What ino>t moved her own
childish spirit to obedience in the days
gone by ! hove, love ; only lovo and
tenderness. She stepped into hor parlor
a I on* after breakfast, and called J oe.
as he was busily gathering up Ids books
for school. Ho stood before her with
a half defiant, half jolly air, as if he cx?
pt-tieu 10 oe mm again, " it you run
away yon sliall bo whipped with a
stick." Already was his voting heart
beginning to bo hardened by the endenvor
to overcome evil with evil.
So be wm greatly disappointed wher.
his mother drew bira to ner, and putting
her arm around him, smoothed
back hijs beautiful hair, while ahe raid

. 4* Well, Joseph, I jyili tell you what I

and I know you do. It was because 1

not whip you again. Now go to school

" Good rr.ornieg, my w>n; may you
have strength to do as you know you
3Ught."
The teAre were swimming in his eye?,
snd his heart ready to burst, lie kiss
ed his mother'* offered and bound
ed away to his school. Noon passed,
and no word was'said. But when the
evening hour cnme, the first bounding
?tep upon the door stone was Joe's.
Llere 1 Kin, mother," he cried,44 the
boys all teased me to go swimming, but
I didn't want to make you feel bad. 1
wouldn't go ; 1 ain't a going to anymore
till you tell me I may."
Again she drew him to her, and
thanked him froin4her heart for his resolution
and good intention, and he
bounded away to his plav, happy and
strong ; and from that day to the pros
ent, though he is a stalwart man,jio act

heart of his mother, c

love proved a mightier power than fear

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

Yes;-return to that sacred spot, home,
where is centred all your affection*, and

less beams upon you ; there is one voice

room in winch you have passed many
hours with ihe near cherished one in
health ; and when disease fastened itself
upon that form, reducing it almost
to a mere shadow, yon lingered beside
the couch, and feaied to feel the puis*

A Midnight Reverie.
I lied r friend !. She Wa# young and
knew no mother*# tender eare. (When
Hut "I met .her, youth** fair morn had
just been blighted by tlte oold wind* of
adversity. Bending, like the reed before
tire wintry blast, she arose when
prosperity once more smiled. pure and
seemingly of greater strength.'* Bui
sadness, gnawing like A deadly worm
upon her vitals, was fast Congealing the
tender font of sympathy and love. I
met her I and io that meeting two souls
were joined inseparably, Ibenm*, too
bright to last, came and left tbeir mock
Id* atmnp upon my beart, renting the
vibrating chorda swelled wltb joy./
oub emotions thw aoiil of mine. I
looketK upon her and watched her as
the miser watches his gold ; I nourished
her even as fondly as the rain drops and
sunshine nourish the drooping flowers ;
1 soothed her aching brow Mnd bold Iter
w^ary bead upon my bosom until the
clouds pf sorrow would pass nway in
dreams of future bliss, All this I've
done, and yet where is sbenow ? They
say sfie'a happy where she is. I
don't believe it. Oh, no! happy, when |
aH the love that floated arouuu her I
heart here is separated from her!??
Sooner would 1 believe lliet heaven
and enrtb would meet ; sooner, far
sooner would I believe the Alloghanies
to crumble to atoms, than to believe
that sho now slumbers far beyond their
western slope, was happv, even in her
midnight dreams. Mollie, dost thou
ever think of me now f Looking down
along the dark Jabnrypthian aisles of
tbe past, canst thou not see the cause of
our blindness ? gazing with weary eyes
back upon the sea of life, dost thou not
see the breaker upou which our brightest
hopes were wrecked 1 Ah I tell me. 1
who have wandered among slrangets to
see you. and we tnet with but silence
and neglect; I who have passed three
long years in silent grief, canst thou
not pity me ? Dut no! i would not
have you pity m?, no, oh no! The
flowerR will breathe around me their
perfume; the morning will still greet
me with her radiant smile and orient
blushes ; friends will still cluslei around
me, shielding me from the rude strokes
of sorrow. Then Anget me; aud iu
forgetting, fare the well.
Look Out roit tiie Women.?Young
man, keep your eyes open when you
are after the women. If you bile at
the naked hook, you are green. Is a
pretty face or form so attractive; or a
pretty face, even! Flounces, boy, are
no sort of conseuuence. A pretty face
w ill grow old. Paint will wash off.?
The sweet smile of the flirt will give
way to the scowl of the termagant.?
Another and a far different being will
take the place of the lovely goddess
who smiles and eats yotir sugar candy.
The c**nquette will shine in the kitchen
corner, and with the once rpaikling
eye and beaming countenance will look
daggers at you. lioware ! Keep your
eye Open, boy, when you are after the
women. If lite dear is cross, and scolds
at her mother in the back roo-n, you
may be sure you will get particular tuba
all over iho house. If ?lre blushes when
found at domestic duties, be sure she is
of tlio dishrag aristocracy?little breeding
and a great deal less f eit-?e. If you

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 allude to their giving
their daguerreotypes of themselves to
young men who are merely acquaintances.
We consider it indelicate in
the highest degree. We are astonished
that any young girl should hold herself
so cheap as this. With an accepted

in this case, the likeness should be re

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. " Were it a sister of ours," we

Young man, beware of idleness !?
Let industry and economy be your
guiding stars. Strict attention to mO
ralitv, application and perseverence will
inevitably secure success. Years, prob
ably, will elapse before you establish
yourself in a lucrative trade or profession
; serious difficulties will arise to
ubatrnet your progress ; but remember,
with an undaunted spirit and determin
atioo to cottqucr, every obstacle may bo
removed, if, in the prosecution of an
hotiorable employment a failure be tire
result of a first attempt, do uot let it influence
^ott to resign all hop.; of success,

liabits and constant labor

prospects.
