HINTS FoR CORTESPNDENTS.-A
coitemporary lays down the following
pitiy code of newspaper by-laws. They
are the best we have ever seen drawn
up.
. 1. Be brief. This is the age of Tel
egraphs and Stenography.
2. Do pointed. Don't write all round
a subject without hitting it.
3. State facts, but don't stop to mor
alise. It's drowsy business. Let the
reader do his own dreaming
4. Eschew prefaces. Plunge at
once into your subject, like a swimmer
in cold water.
,5. If you have written a senience
that you think particularly fine, draw
your pen through it. A pet child is
always the worst in the family.
.6. Condense. Make sure that you
really have an idea, and then recordlit
in the shortest possible terms. We
want thoughts in their quintessence.
7. When your article is complete,
strike out nine-tenths of the adjectives.
The English is a strong language, but
won't bear two much "reducing."
8. Avoid all high flown language.
The plainest Anglo-Saxon words are
the best. Never use stilts when legs
will do as well.
9. Make your sentences short. Ev
ery period is a mile stone, at which the
reader may halt and rest himself.
10. Write legibly. Don't let your
manuscript look like the tracks of a
spider half drowned in ink. We shan't
mistake any one for a genius, though
Nrite as crabbedly as Napoleon.
AN ANCIENT CITY.-The fanous
city of Petra, in Arabia, has been a
theme of admiration and astonishment
to all the tourists of recent times; but
another town, apparently far more an
cient and of greater extent still, exists
in the north of Affghanistan, and is
known throughout the east by the name
of Bamecan. The city consists of a
greater nmmber of apartments cut out
,of the solid rock. It is said that in
many of themi the walls were adorned
'with paintings 'which look still fresh,
after centuries of desertion and solitude;
some of them are adorned with the rich
est carved work. There arapsupposed
to be more than twelve thousand of
such habitations in Bamecan, but the
natives who are Mohommedans, enter
tain a superstitious produdice against
inhabiting such homes. They have old
traditions which declare them to have
been the first habitation of mankind,
and that strange city is casually men
tioned by some of the classic authors;
yet by whom its rocky abodes were
excavated, who wvere its inhabitants, or
what their history-all have passed
from the recollection of the world, and
-exist only in fabulous or uncertain tales.
FORCE OF CHARAcTER.-Man im
putes to himself the ability to be con
stant by his own proper force, arnd pla
ces his honor in that ability. A man
of his word, and a man of honor, arc
eynonymous terms. He who can em
brace a purpose and persist in it, wvho
can act from a resolve, unsupported by
present inclination--nay, even in opp~o
sition to present inclination, e.motioni or
passion--of him we say, "H~e has a
-character?" "He is a man," We
<despise the man who is always only
what things, accidents, circumstances
ake him; the fickle, the inconstant, the
wavring. We honor him who can re
sitobjects and the impression which
they make upon; who knows how to
mamtain himself in the face of them;
who lets himself be instructed but not
harged by he.-- F. IL. Jacobi's
THE YEZIDIS.
BY A. It. LAYARD.
No. 1.
The mystories of this sect have been
traced to the workship introduced by
Seimiramis into the very mountains they
inhabit-a workship which, impure in
its forms, led to every excess. The
quiet, cleanliness and orders of their
villages, do not warrant these charges.
Their known respect of fear for the evil
principal has given them the title of
Workshippers of the Devil. Some
years ago they were a powerful tribe.
They recognize one Supreme Being,
but do not offer any thing direct prayer
or sacrifice to him, and appear to shun
with superstitious awe any topic con
nected with the existence of attributes
of the Deity. The name of the evil
spirit is never mentioned, and any allu
sion to it by others so vexes and iriita
tes them, that they have put persons to
death whohave wantonly outraged their
feelings by its use. So far is their dread
of offending the evil one carried, that
they carefully avoid every expression
which may resemble in sound the name
of Satan, or the Arabic word for ac
cursed. Whenever they speak of the
Devil they do so with reverence. They
believe Satan to be the chief of the an
gelic host, now suffering punishment
for his rebellion against the digine will
-but still all powerful, and to be res
tored hereafter tohis high estate in the
celestial hierarcy. Christ according to
them, was also a great angel who had
taken the form of man. He did not die
on the cross, but ascended to heaven.
They hold the Old Testament in great
reverence, believe in the cosmogony of
Genesis, the deluge, and other events
recorded in the Bible. They do not
reject the New Testament nor the Ko
ran, but consider them less entitled to
their consideration. Still they always
select passages from the Koran for their
tombs and holy places. Mahommed
they lock upon as a Prophet, as they
lo Abraham and the patriarchs. They
2xpect the second coming of Christ as!
ivell as the re-appearance of Imaun
HIehdi.
The origvin of the name is traced to
le celebrated Ommiade Caliph Yezid ,
i great persecutor of the family of Ali
n their own religious history; but there
s reason to believe it must be sought
or elsewhere, as it was used long before
he introduction of Mohammedanism,
md is not without connection with the
'arly Persian appellation of the Su
remce Being. It is dillicult to tiace
.heir ceremonies to any particularsour
c. They babtize in water, like the
Uhristtians, if possible with seven days
after birth. They circumcise at the
same age and in the same manner as the
Niolammedans, reverence the Sun and
have many customs in common with
the Sabeans. They have great rever
ence for the Sun and have built a tem
ple and dedicated it to that luminary.
They are accustomed to kiss the object :
on which its first beams fall. For fire,
as symbolic, they have nearly the same
reverence.
They never spit in it, but frequently i
pass their hands through the flame, kiss,
them, and put them over their right
eye-brow, or over the whole face. T1he
colour-, blue, to them is an abomination
and never to be0 worn in dress or to be
used in their houses. T1he place to
which they tui-n their eyes whilst per
forming their holy ceremonies is always
that part of tile Heavens in which the
sun rises, and towvard it they turn the
faces of thoir dead. Lettuce and Hii
bicus esculentus, and some other veg
etables, ai-e never eaten by them; pork
is unlawful, but wine is drunk by all.
T1hey have no religious observancesI
on mar-riage, nor- are the number of
wives limited. The men and womnen
iferely preosent themselves to a Sheikh,
wile ascertains that there is mutual con
sent. A ring is then given to tire bride
or sometimes money instead---a day
is fixed for rejoicing-they dIrin~k slher
bet, dance, but have no religious cere
monies. Their year begins with that
of the Eastern Christians, whomr they
follow also in the order and name of
their months. Some fast three days
at the commencement of the year, but
that is not conlsidered necessary. 'Wed
nesday is their holiday. Some fast on
that day, yet they do not abstain from
work on it as the Chirstian (do on the
Sabbath. Their names, both male and
female, are generally those used by Mo
hammedans and Christians. The name
of George is however objectionable, and
is nevor given to a Zeridi.
Tennessee is said to be the only State
in the Union that had not a foot of rail
road on the 1st of Januay 1849.
THE ORDER OF JESUITS.
BY MACAULAY.
Bofore the order of Jesuits had ex
isted an hundred years, it had filled the
whole world with memorials of great
things done and suffered for the fititli.
No religous community could produce
a list of men so variously distinguished
none had extended its operation over
so vast a space; yet in none bad there
ever been such perfect unity of feeling
and action. There was no region of
the globe, no walk of speculative or of
active life, in Jesuits were not to be
found. They guided the councils of
Kings. They deciphered Latin inscrip
tions. They observed the motions of
Jupiter's satellites. They published
whole libraries, casuistry, history, treat
ise on optics, Alcaicodes, editions of
the fathers, madrigals, catechisms and
lampoons. The liberal education of
youth passed almost entirely into their
hands, and was conducted by them with
conspicuous ability. They appear to
have discovered the precise point to
which intellecual culture can be car ied
without risk of intellecual emancipation.
Enmity itself was compelled to own
that in the art of managing and form
ing the tender mind, they assiduously
and successfully cultivated the elo
quence of the pulpit. With still great
er assiduity and still greater success
they applied themselves to the ministry
of the confessional. Throughout Cath.
olic Europe the secrets of every gov
ernment, and of almost every family
were in their keeping. They glide'd
from one Protestant country to another
under innumerable disguises, as gay
cavaliers, as simple rustics, as Puritan
preachers. They wandered to coun
tries which neither mercaitile avirlity
nor liberal curiosity had ever impellcil
any stranger to explore. Thy were
to be found in the garb of Mandarins,
superintending the observatory (if Pe
kin. They were to be faun 1, spade in
hand, teaching the rudiments of agri
culture to the savages of l'araguay.
Yet whatever might be their residence,
whatever might he their employment.,
their spirit was the same: entire devo
tion to the common cause, implicit obe.
dience to the central authority. None
of them had chosen his d wellin:.-pla-e
or his avocation for himself. Whether
the Jesuits should live under the artic
circle or under the equator, whether he
should pass his li''e in arranging gis
and collating manuscripts at the Vati
can, or in persuading naked barbarins
in the southern hemisphere not to eat
each other, were matters which lihe left.
with profound submission to the decision
of others. if he was wanted at Lima,
he was on the Atlantic in the next fleet.
If he was wanted at Ba.lad, lie was
toiling through the desert with the next
caravan. If his ministry was ieed ed
in some country where his life was
more insecure than that of a wolf; where
it was a crime to harbor him, where the
heads and quarters of his brethen, fix
ed in public places, showed him what
he had to expect--le went without re
ionst rance or hesitation to his doom.
Nor is this heroie spirit yet extilict.
When in our own time a new and ter
rible pestilence patss aroundl the globe:
when in some great cities fear had dis
solved all the ties which hold society to
gethier; when the secular clergv hadm
deserted their flocks; when miedieal ruei.

when the su ongest natural affectins
had yielde.l to the love of lf, even
then the Jesuit was found by the pallhet
which bishops and curate, physician
andl nurse, father and mother hadi de
serted, learniing over infected lil s toj

and hioldinig up to lust befoe ithle expi
ring penitent the image of the expiring
Rtedeemner.
Ci-moros F:acT.'--Anm Inidiani, sayvs
an obser-viing writer, hadt taimed a black
snake, which lie ke pt about htimi dutring
the sumumer mioiithis. In auituumn lie let
the creature go whither it ch. se to
crawl, but told it to conme to hiim aginm
upon a certain day, whlich lie nedci
in the sprinig. A white mian wasprs
cnt, and saw what was done, and hieaird
the lindiani ailirma that the serpent woul
return to him the very day lie had up
poiintedh, had no faith in the truth of his
prediction. The next spring, retaining
the day in his memory, curiosity led
him to the lael, where lhe founid thme
Indian in waiting, and after remaning
with him about two hour-s, the serpent
caime crawling back, and put himself
under the care of its old master.
The case has beemi accounted foru by
spoigthat the indian had observed
that black sakes usually return to thc'ir
old haunts at the same vernal season
and as he had tamed, fed, and kep
this snake in a particular place, experi
ence taught him that it would return or
a certain day.
This may be one way of accounting
for it; another is, to suppose a real mag
netic connection between the Indian anc
the snake, of the fascination and
charming between serpents and birds
which, upon a certain, drew the snak<
to his master. "There are more things
in heaven and earth, Horatio, than art
dreamt of in our philosophy."
W. Jt. T.
DANIEL BooN'S CoURT81IP.-In the
imediate neighborhood of his fathers'
new settlement on the river Yadkin,
another adventurer, named Bryan, so n
made his appearance, and plarted him.
self upon a beautiful spot, washed on
one side by a lovely mountain stream,
near whieb had been the favorite hunt
ing ground of the young sportsman.
On a certain evening, Boon engaged a
friend to meet him at that spot for the
I'irprose of engaging in a "fire hunt."
In this wild sport, one of the parties
usuiallv rides through the forest, with a
line torch borne on high, which, shed
ding light through the gloomy precincts,
so dazzles the eyes of the deer, that the
other party, wl-o is on foot, shoots the
game between the eyes, while the be
wildered aninial is staring at the blaze.
B]oon's companion was to bear the torch,
and accordingly appeared on the field,
and commenced the usual round. They
had not proceeded Car, when Boon gave
the concerted signal to keep the light
stationary. The horseman obeyed, and
waited in momentary expectation of
hearing the sharp and fatal report of
his friend's rifle. Not hearing it, how
ever, he turne.d his horse to ascertain
the caise of the unwarrantable delay,
wheni he saw his friend drop his rifle,
and set off in puisuit of' some shadowy
object ovcr brush and briar, fence and
field.
When Boon gave the signal to his
friend, Ie indeed saw the flame of the
torch reflected by a pair -.f brilliant eyes,
and lhe iiuinediately cocked l's gun, and
brought it to his eye; but instead of
standing stupiIed at, the supposed fawn
wheeled precipately and fled. During
this usual raoveimenlt, Boon caught a
glimij se of tie flowi ing folds of a petti
coat, dropped his rifle, and made chase
after his gamne. So intense had been
his interest in the pursuit, that lie was
little less sirprised than his new neigh
bor ilr. Bryan, when lie found himself
standing i tihe doorway, having driven
the ojeC t of' his chase into the paternal
airmis.
]hloon's emnbarrassment e" surprise

A STREAK OF SQUATTER LIFE
BILL SAPPER'S LETTER TO IIIS COUSIN
LIBERTI, Missury, May 6th, 1 forty 6
Cousin Jim, tha aint nuthin' occur
red wuth ritin' about in our settlemen
fur a long spell, but about the beginin
of last week, thur war a rumor so
afloat in town, which kept the wimei
for two or three days in a continoon
snigger, and it war half a day afore tb
men could find out the rights of th<
marter-sech anuther fease as all th<
gals got inter, war delightful to con
template. The boys kept a askin' on<
anuther, what in the yearth wur th<
marter, that the gals kept a whisperin
and laffin round town so?-at last i
cum out! and what do you think, Jim
wur the marter?-You couldn't guest
in a week. It aint no common occur
rence and yet it's mighty natral. Lit.
tle Jo Allen, the shoemaker, had at
addition to his family, amountin' to jesi
threc babbys-one boy and two gals!
His wife is a leetle cretur,' but I reck.
on she's 'some' in countin' the census,
and sech anuther excitement as her lit
tie brood of pretty babby's has kicked
up among the wirnen is peri'ecly intic
in' to bachelors. When the interestin
marter wur first noised about, the wim
en wouldn't believe it, but to know the
rights of it tha put on thur bonnets and
poured down to see Mr's. Allen, in a
perfect stream of curiosity; and, sure
enough, thar tha wur, three raal peert
lookin' children, all jest alike. Bein
an acquaintance of Jo's, lie tuck me ii
to see his family, and it wur raaly an
interestin' sight to see the little creturs.
Thar tha wur, with thur tiny faces
aside each other, hevin on the prettiest
caps,-all made and fixed by the young
witnin, as a present to the mother,
and then thur infantile lips jest openin,'
like so many rose buds poutin,' while
thur bits of hands, transparent as spar
macity, wur a curtin' about and push.
inl', all doubled up, agin thur little nos
es, and thur mother all the tine lookin'
at'em so peert and pleased, jest as. ef
she war feelin' in her own mind tha u ar
hard to beat-added to which, thar
stood thur daddy, contemplatin', with
a glow of parental feclin', the whole
unanimous pictur! It ain't in me Jim,
to fully describe the universal merits of
secl a scene. and I guess it couldn't re
ceive raal jestis from any man's pen,
,ce pt he'd ben the father of twins at least.
'Gracious me!' sed Mrs. Sutton, a
very literary womin, who allays talks
history on extra occasions; 'of that lit
tIe Mrs. Allen ain't ekill to the mother
of the Grashi!'
She looked at little Je, the daddy,
fur a spell, and tuk to adinirin' him so
that she could sarely keep her hands
off on him-she hadn't no babbys, poor
'Ah! Mr. Allen,' ses she, 'y(u .e
suthin' like a husband-you're ueterm
ined to decend a name down to your
ancesters!'
I ranly believe she'd a kissed him of
thur hadn't ben so many winen thar.
The father of the babbys were mitely
tickled at furst, 'cause all the wimnen
wur a praiscit' him, but arter a siell lie
gin to look skary, for go whar he would
he found soomc wimen tryin' to git a
look at hin-tha jest besieged his shop
winder a!ll tile tipie, and kept peepin'
in, and lookin' at him, and askin' h
age, and whar he cumn from? At last
suni of the gals got so curious tha askeud
him whar lie did come from, any/ how,
and as sooni as he sed IndliancEe Dick~
IMas'n becumn one of the popbularest
young men in the settlement amionag th
wimen, jest 'cause he war from. the
sanie state.
Tlhings went on this way for a spell,
till at last that heerd of 'emt in the coun
try, and~ the wimnen all about f'oun~d soime
excuise to come to town to git store
goodIs, jest a purpose to see the habby's
and thur p)arents. The little daddy wai
wusser plage now, ad te tr'
at him so that he couldn't work--the
fact wur, his mind wur gettin' troubled,
and some of the wimen noticed the ska
ry look lie had out of his eyes, and kep
a wonderin' what it meant. Ont
mnornin' it war noticedt by some of th<
gals that his shop wa~rni't opeuedt, so thi
got inquirin' about him, and arter
sarch lie cum up missin'-well, I'm o
thec opinion thar wur an excite
ment in town then, fully ekill to th<
pbresidlent's election. Every womb
started her hushind out arter Jo, witi
orders not to cum back without him
and sech a scourin' as they gin th<
country round would a caught aniythini
- hiuman,-it did ketch Jo-on is roa<
ato Texas! When they got him back 1
the town agin, a committee of nmarrie
men held a secret talk with him, t
iarn what the mnarter wur, that h
. wanted to clear out, and Jo to-d 'em
. that the wimen kept a starin' t him, so
. ho couldn't work, and ef he 'ar kept
- from his bisness, and his family cdnti
t nooed to increase three at a time, he'd
' git so cussed poor he'd starve, and
t tharefore lie knew it 'ud be better to
i clear out, for the wimen would be- sure
I to take good care of his wife and, the
babbys.
Old Dr. Wilkins wur appointed' by
the men to wait -on a mecetin' of the
- wimen, and inform them of the" act,
that tha wur annoyin'- the father of -tWo
three babbys, and bad almdst driien
him out'n the settlement. The doctoFe
accordin' to appintment, informed 'the
wimen, and arter he had retired tha
went into committee of the whole upon
the marter, and appinted'three of thur
number to report at a meetin', on ,the
next evenin', a set of resolutions tellin'
what tha'd do in the premises, and gov
ernin' female action in the partickler
case of Jo Allen, his little wife,. and
three beautiful healthy babbys.
When the hour of meetin' had arriv.
Mrs. Sutton's parlors wur crowded
with the wimen of the settlenent, and
arter appinten Widder Dent to. the
cheer, tha reported the comittee on re
solves reddy, and Mrs. Sutton bein' the
head of the committee she sot to work
and read the followin' drawn up paper:
Whereas, It has been ged by the
wise Solomon of old,. that the world
must be peopled, tharfore, we hold-it to
be the inviolate duty of every :mari to
git married, and, moreover, rear up cit,
izens and future mothers to our glorious
republic; and,
Whereas, It is gratifyin' to human
natur', the world in genal, Missury at
large, and Liberty in partickler, that
this settlement has set an example to
the ancesters of future time, which will
not only make the iimen of this en
lightened state a pattern for thur chil
dren, but a envy to the royal wimen of
Europe, not forgettin' the proud inoth
er the Lions of Ingland, but will ele
vate and place in and among the furst
families, fur ever hercarter, the mother
that has shed such lustre upon the sex
in general; and,
Whereas, It is the melancholy lot of
some to be deprived of doin' thar duty
in the great cause of human natur', be
cause the young men is back'ard about
speakin' out it is time that some meas
ures be taken inimical-to our general
prosperity, and encouragin' to the ris
in' generation of young fellars round
town; tharfore,
Resolved, That, as married women,
our sympathies, like the heaving of na.
tur's bosom, yearns with admiration
and respect fur that little womin, Mrs.
Allen, and as we see' her three little
babbys reclinin' upon thur mother's fe
male maternal bosom, our beatin' hearts
with one accord wish we could say
ditto.
Resolved, That in the case of Mrs.
Allen we see an illustrious example of
the intarnal and extarnal progress of
that spreading race, the Angel Saxons;
and time will come, when the mothers
of the west will plant thar glorious
shoots from one pinnacle of the Rocky
Mountains to the tother, and until thar
cry of liberti will be hollered from one
pint to the next in continooal screetch!
Resolved, That Mr. Joseph Allen,
the father of these three dear little
babbys, shall receive a monument at
his deth, end while lhe is livin', tboe
wimen shall ony visit his shop once a
wveek to look at him, 'copt the married
wimen, who shall be permitted to see
him twice a week and no .offener, per
vided and eceptin than want to git meas
ured fur a pur of shoes.
Resolved, Mister Joseph Allen shall
ha~v the custom of' the whole settlement,
for he is a glorious livini' example of a
dlotin' husband.
Arter these resolutions had beena
unanimously passed, Mrs. Sutton ad
dressed *.he mneetin' in a stream of ele
gance, wh arin she proved, clar as a
whistle, that a family war the fur-st
consideration far a settler in a now
country, and town lots the arter ques
tion. -She ackinowledged tho corn,' ,
she sed, 'that it war soothin' to look
effen at thur neighbor Allen, but his *
f' peace of mind war the property of his
- family, anid she hoped thre ladies
wouln't disturb it, 'cause the loss' of
sech a husbind would be a suffernhi' ea
lamnity to the settlement.'
The mecetin' adjoured, and Jow~tent
Sback to work, singin': and whistlin', as
happy as usual, and ove since, he's
I had a perfect shower of work, for the
i gals all round tho country keep goin'
1t to hin to git measured, tha say he. do
a sarves to be incouraged.
