Ts"FT 'dR QoRRESPNDENTS.-A
I'o layilays down the following
6cofe ofewspapor by-laws. They
are~to e s we have ever seen drawn
t.Xe brief. This-is the age of Tel

,2.BEo pointed. Don't write all round
a subject without hitting it.
8. State. facts, but don't stop to mor
aimse. It's drowsy business. Let the
reader do his own dreaming
4. Eschew prefaces. Plunge at
once into your'subject, like a swimmer
-ri bold water.
25. If you have written a sentence
'thbt you think particularly fine, draw
youp. pen through it. A pet child is
alvays the worst in the family.
6; Condense. Make sure that you
really have an idea, and then recorit
.ir the shortest possible terms. We
' yant thoughts in their quintessence.
. When your article is complete,
.strikeout nine-tentbs of the adjectives.
IThe-English is a strong language, but
-*on4l bear two much "reducing."
-8.- Avoid all high flown language.
The' plainest Anglo-Saxon words are
'th' best. Never use stilts when legs
vi I doas well.
9. iae.your sentences short. Ev
cry period is a mile stone, at which the
reader may halt and rest himself.
10. n Wrf legibly. Don't let your
Aanu~criptlook like the tracks of a
pir half drowned'in ink. We shan't
.aake any one for a genius, though
ijdwrite as~crabbedly as Napoleon.

.many of them the walls were adorned
with psintings -which look still fresh,
. after centuries of desertion and solitude;

THE YEZIDIS.
BY A. U. LAYARD.
No. 1.
The mysteries 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 irrita,
tes them, that they have put persons to
death who have 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 divine will
-but still all powerful, and to be res
tored hereafter to his 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
do Abraham and the patriarchs. They
expect the second coming of Christ as
well as the re-appearance of Imaun
NIehdi.
The origin of the name is traced to
the-celebrated Omminde Caliph Yezid,
t great persecutor of the family of Ali
tn their own religious history; but there
is reason to believe it must be sought
ror elsewhere, as it was used long before
the introduction of Mohammedanism,
and is not without connection with the
early Persian appellation of the Su
preme Being. It is difficult to trace
theirceremonies to any particularsour
cc. They babtize in water, like the
Christtiaus, if possible with seven (lays
after birth. They circumcise at the
same age and in the same. manner as the
Mohammedans, 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
pass their hands through the flame, kiss,
them, and put them over their right
eye-brow, or over the whole face. The
colour, blue, to them is an abomination
and never to be worn in dress or to be
used in their houses. The place to
which they turn their eyes whilst per
forming their holy ceremonies is always
that part of the Heavens in which the
sun rises, and toward it they turn the
faces of their dead. Lettuce and Hi
bicus esculentus, and some other veg
etables, are never eaten by them; pork
is unlawful, but wine is drunk by all.
They have no religious observances
on marriage, nor are the number of
wives limited. The men and women
u1erely present themselves to a Sheikh,
who ascertains that there is mutual con
sent. A ring is then given to the bride
or sometimes money instead--a day
is fixed for rejoicing-they drink sher
bet, dance, but have no religious cere
monies. Their year begins with that
of the Eastern Christians, whom 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 considered 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 never given to a Zoridi.
Tennessee is said to be the only Statt
in the Union that had not a foot of rail
road on the 1st of January,_ 1849.
THE ORDER OF JESUITS.
BY MAOAULAY.
Before the order of Jesuits had ex
isted an hundred years, it bad filled the
whole world with memorials of great
things done and suffered for the faith.
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 had 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 intellccual 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 glided
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 mercantile avidity
nor liberal curiosity had ever impelleil
any stranger to explore. They were
to be found in the garb of Mandarins,
superintending the observatory of Pe
kin. They were to be fauni-, spade in
hand, teaching the rudiments of agri
culture to the savages of Paraguay.
Yet whatever might be their residence,
whatever might be their employment,
their spirit was the same: entire devo
tion to the common cause, implicit obe
dienco to the central authority. None
of them had chosen his diwelling-place
or his avocation for himself. Whether
the Jesuits should live under the artic
circle or under the equator, whether he
should pass his lifb in arranging gems
and collating manuscripts at the Vati
can, or in persuading naked barbarians
in the southern hemisphere not to cat
each other, were matters whichli he left
with profound submission to the decision
of others. If he was wanted at Lima,
lie was bn the Atlantic in the next fleet.
If he was wanted at Bagdad, lie was
toiling through the desert with the next
caravan. If his ministry was needed
in some country where his life was
more insecure than that of a wolf; where
it was a crimc to harbor him, where the
heads and quarters of his brotlien, fix
ed in public places, showed him what
he had to expect-lie went without re
monstrance or hesitation to his doom.
Nor is this heroic spirit yet extinct.
When in our own time a new and ter
rible pestilence pass around the globe;
when in some gtreat cities fear had dis
solved all the ties which hold society to
gether; when the secular clergy had
deserted their flocks; when medical suc
cor was not to be purchased by gold;
when the strongest natural affections
had yielded to the love of life, even
then the Jesuit was found by the pallet
wvhich bishops and curate, p~hysician
and nurse, father and mother hadl de
serted, learning over infected lip~s to
catch the faintest accents of confession
and holding up to last beforeo the expi
ring penitent the image of the ox piring
Redeemer.
CURIOUS FACT.-An Indian, says
an observing writer-, had tamed a black
snake, which lhe kept about him during
the summer months. In autumn lhe letj
the creature go wvhither it chi se to'
crawl, but told it to come to him again
upon a certain dlay, whlich he named,
in the spring. A white man was pires
ent, and saw what was done, and heard
the Indian aflirmi that the serpent would
return to him the very day ho had ap
pointed, had no faith in the truth of his
prediction. The next spring, retainingi
the day in his memory, curiosity led
him to the plac3, wvhero he found the
Indian in waiting, and after remaining
with him about two hours, the serp~ent
came crawling back, and put himself
under the care of its old master.
The case has been accounted for by
supposing that the Indian had observed
that black snakes usually return to their
old haunts at the. sameverrial senson;
and as he had tamed, fed, and kept
this snake in a particular place, experi
cuce taught him that it would return on
a certain day.
This may be one way of accounting
for it;. anotheris, to suppose a real mag.
notic ,onnection between the Indian and
the snake, of the fdscination and
charming between serpents and birds,
which, upon a certain, drew the snake
to his master. "There are more .things
in heaven and earth, Horatio, than art
dreamt of in our philosophy."

DANTEL BOON'S COURTsRIP.-In the
immediate neighborhood of his fathers'
new settlement on the river Yadkin,
another adventurer, named Bryan, soon
made his appearance, and plarted him.
self upon a beautiful spot, washed on
one side by a lovely mountain stream,
near which 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
purpose of engaging in a "fire hunt."
In this wild sport, one of the parties
usually rides through the forest, with a
pine torch borne on high, which, shed.
ding light through the gloomy precincts,
so dazzles the eyes of the deer, that the
other party, who is on foot, shoots the
game between the eyes, while the be
wildered animal is staring at the blaze.
Boon's companion was to bear the torch,
and accordingly appeared on the field,
and commenced the usual round. They
hiad not proceeded far, when Boon gave
the concerted signal to keep the light
stationary. The horseman obeyed, and
waited in momentary expectation of
hearing the sharp andl fatal report of
his friend's rifle. Not hearing it, how
VeI*, he turned his horse to ascertain
thc cause of the unwarrantable delay,
wien he saw his friend drop his rifle,
and set off in pursuit of some sliadowy
b-ject over brush and briar, fence and
tield.
When Boon gave the signal to his
friend, lie indeed saw the flame of the
torch reflected by a pair (f brilliant eyes,
and he im-nediately cocked his gun, and
brourht it to his eye; but instead of
standing stupified at, the supposed fawn
wheeled precipately and fled. During
this usual movement, Boon caught a
glimp-se of the flowing folds of a petti
coat, dropped his rifle, and made chase
after his game. So intense had been
his interest in the pursuit, that he was
little less surprised than his new neigh
bor Mr. Bryan, when he found himself
standing in the doorway, having driven
the object of his chase into the paternal
arms.
Boon's embarrassment and surprise
may easily be imagined, when he saw
the consternation of the father, and the
panting terror of his beautiful daughter,
who had scarcely turned her sixteenth
sinner, and whose lustrous ringlets
were flving about her face, neck, and
palpitating bosom, in the richest con
trast of light and shade.
Strange as it may appear of our
htardy backwoodsman, lie became agita
ted in his turn, with all the stern and
rugged qualiti--s of his nature, ho was
taken catie by a maiden's charms.
dwhat was no less strange, the
hhrshing Hlebe, who had run into her
father's arms, dleclarinig that she was
pursued by a pantthmer, now perceived
that lie was not such a frightful animal
as her first impression in the dark had
led her to suippose.*
Indeed, Boon was at this time just in
the first flush of youth; his person
straightL and well proportioned, and the
whole appearance of the man presented
such a her', to the eye of the unsophis
ticated girl, as her imagination was
likelv to create for itself in that remote
and secluded scene--in short, they
lovedl tmutuall, and Miss Rebecca Bry
an ini a very short timo became Mrs.
Boon.
