WHIPPING IN ARGUMENT.

WHITING IN ANuUHENI'
The Commonwealth Attorney said that
the cffort OF the defence was to exclude the
whipping. But his Honor had admitted
that evidence, and it was here before the
jury. He had authorities to show that it
was not only correctly admitted, but that
PoindeXter could not rightly plead self
defence when subsequently Curtis assault
ed him.
This point-which is regarded by every
body as Of the greatest importance-was
fully and ably argued by the Common
wcaIth's Attorney. He discussed it rs the
vital question here, and put in on it his
weighticst arguments ana authorities.

Inspirashun allwuss waits upon the
bizzy hav seen men set down all day
under a shade tree. with a hoe in their
hand cluss to the edge of a kornfeld,
waiting 10 be inspired; but the weeds
in that kornfield didn't wait for emmy
inspirashun
The man whom praze allwuss makes
humble is an ironklad.
Ii a man will tell me what he thinks
oy his nabors. kan tell him what his
nabors think ov him.
In youth our pasbuns keep us bizzv.
in middle life our ambishuns, in old age
the runatism.
How menny thousands there are who
live out whole life, aud have nothing
10 prove it by, only that they have had
the mumps, the meazles. and perhaps
the chicken-pox.
Thare il this diffrense between The
man who kant change hiz opinyun, and
the one who won't-one is an idiot, and
the other phool.
suppoze the world might be devided
into pholks that kno how TO live, pholks
that only sprout and yegitaie, aud pholks
that never pay their debts until they are
obliged to.
Ii would be absolutely krewel to ban
ish all deceptshun out OF the world; the
majority ov mankind would be melan-
kolly for job.
The habits ov h snob are sumthiDe
like the wearing ov a lite boot; they art
painful to the man who W ears them
and ridickilus to those who see them.
